I need answers

My boyfriend said I should use the roaches we got to make cannabis butter. I said are you insane? 🤣🤣 he said it would be strong. Keep in my mind we have about an eighth of flower sitting in a jar and like 2 other ounces of more even more flower. Then, I told him I was going to make peanut butter cookies using the butter. That would be disgusting if I made it with roach weed 😩

The he says, “well ask your Reddit group”

So here we are…

I’ve made edibles with reclaim, and I can tell you that ruined regular brownies and cookies for me because of how disgusting the taste was, it stuck with me. I’d strongly advise against using roaches🤢

Seriously. Reclaim edibles are nasty enough. I made sugar cookies with a couple of grams reclaim, and they sat in the freezer for quite a while before I could stomach them.

Using roaches would just be NASTY. May as well dump your ashtray in the brownie mix while you're at it.

Ask him what he thinks chewing on roaches would taste like.

u/natteulven 23h ago

He's technically correct. Whether you can handle the taste is a totally different question 😂😂

Someone once brought a cake made with resin scraped from many pipes. It was the most awful tasting dessert I’ve ever had. Got us high though.

No don't. Use the weed it's the most efficient, cost saving method. Roaches will just be nasty and rubbish.

You have a stockpile and still save roaches? But for real don’t do it

u/rizzodeniro 22h ago

I don’t live in a legal state. They are a contingency

u/Past-Paramedic-8602 22h ago

That makes sense. I would use the flower. The roaches are gonna taste horrid. I haven’t been saving roaches since long before it got legal

u/mykunjola 22h ago

It will work but it'll taste like an ash tray.

u/coonytunes 21h ago

Do it once. It won't kill you. It'll taste dank, but there's minimal decarbing to do. Source: I've done this and got extremely high. Use peanut butter and chocolate, I wouldn't be incorporating things into candy as the amount of flavour extract you'll need may be too much. Don't forget to report!

u/HourLegitimate8370 21h ago

Stuff the roaches in 00 gel caps and down the hatch. I wouldn't do that but it would probably work. Taste...better, burps however might be devastating

u/purplenugz 12h ago

Do not do it. It will taste so bad

1

u/PoloBear67 23h ago

Disgusting. You are gonna eat that lol

u/Phantom420365 22h ago

Don’t do this 🤮

u/thehappiestdad 22h ago

This is going to cause anything you cook to taste like shit. Just eat an extra one of whatever it is you are eating...

u/Laserdollarz Distillation Professional 21h ago

Do a quick everclear extraction on a few and ask if he wants food that tastes like that

1

u/EmbarrassedBeing332 19h ago

I was going to use mine to make a tincture since I can filter out all the impurities

u/Negative-Ad-6533 19h ago

Use a crutch/tip when you roll it'll clean up your roach problem. 😁

1

u/samsbamboo 17h ago

Ew. You could, but it'll taste like roaches. Source...I've tried.

u/SwordfishReal 16h ago

I make stuff with reclaim all the time. It depends on what you use and how you prep it. I love mine.

u/FNG5280 12h ago

Ewww . Roach butter, 🤢🤮

u/_Squirrels 12h ago

You'll pull all the nasty carbon and other burnt organics into your butter. Redundant, but you'll likely want to stay away from the idea.

I once did a butane extraction of 2oz of roaches, and it turned out exactly as it seems. Terrible.

Good luck!

Make him eat one of the cookies. I bet he shuts his mouth pretty fast. YUK!
