FAQ

Is trim as effective as bud for edibles?

Trim typically has 5-12% THC compared to 15-25% for bud. You need more material, but the extraction process is identical and the end product works the same way.

Will the butter taste more herbal with trim?

Often, yes. Trim has more leaf material which can impart a grassier flavor. Using the water-bath method (adding water during infusion) helps reduce this.
