BTW the majic budder,, is what I've been using for more than 4 years.. Since they started.. Great unit.. Strong motor and it does it's own decarbonization a major plus.. I hate baking my weed in the oven to make good budder... I've done t he crock pot method,, it works,,, but you need to really get the temps up to around 275-300 for a minute... I'm the worse person to ask about effects,,, seeing I've been a grower's soo long my tolerances are off the hook,, but friends relly enjoy our budder... BTW I use coconut oils.. Cooks the same. but after after bouts with butter,, it strains so much easier and the returns are alot better... GL and I know people's here will show ya the way to good edibles........ Keepem Green
