Looking to buy cannabutter online? Here’s the honest answer: properly made cannabutter almost never appears in online dispensaries – it melts, spoils, and ships badly. The good news is you have three better options, and all of them get you to the same place.
Why Isn’t Cannabutter Sold Online?
Cannabutter is butter infused with THC – a cooking ingredient with a shelf life measured in days, not weeks. It needs refrigeration, separates in transit, and has a melting point lower than a summer mailbox. No licensed producer or dispensary ships it, because what arrives at your door would not be what left theirs. Anything labelled “cannabutter” that ships by mail is either a tincture-style concentrate or a shelf-stable product using a different base entirely.
Option 1: THC Oil and Tinctures – The Drop-In Substitute
For most recipes that call for cannabutter, a THC oil or tincture does the same job: measured dose, mixable into anything, shelf-stable for months. Swap it into brownies, sauces, or drinks at the same stage you would add butter. You get precise milligram dosing instead of guessing at a batch’s strength, and nothing to refrigerate.
Option 2: Skip the Baking – Dosed Edibles
If the recipe is a means to an end – you want a brownie, not a baking project – ready-made edibles skip the six hours of simmering and the kitchen that smells for two days. Every product is lab-tested and labelled per piece, so there is no dose math at all.
Option 3: Make Your Own Cannabutter
If you want the real thing, both of our tested recipes walk you through it step by step – decarb, infusion, strain, and dosing. You will need flower (budget-grade works fine for infusion), butter, and a free afternoon.
The Perfect Cannabutter Recipe
The classic stovetop method – slow simmer, cheesecloth strain, roughly 10-15mg THC per tablespoon. Read the full recipe.
Garlic Herb Cannabutter Recipe
A savoury version with garlic and herbs built in – ready for garlic bread, pasta, or anything off the grill. Read the full recipe.
What Does Cannabutter Cost?
Store-bought is rare enough that there is no real market price. Homemade, the cost is the flower: a standard batch uses about an ounce, and budget-grade flower is the right choice for infusion – the butter carries the flavour, so save the top-shelf jar for smoking. Our ounce deals start well under what an equivalent dose of ready-made edibles would cost.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Buy THC oil or a tincture if you bake or cook regularly and want a drop-in substitute with exact dosing. (Note: budder concentrate is a different product despite the similar name – it’s a high-THC dab, not a cooking ingredient.) Buy edibles if you just want the result without the kitchen. Make your own if you enjoy the process and want a big batch for the price of one ounce. All three ship Canada-wide via Canada Post Xpress – and unlike actual cannabutter, they arrive the way they left.
FAQs About Buying Cannabutter
Can you buy cannabutter online in Canada?
Almost never. Cannabutter is a perishable cooking ingredient that requires refrigeration and separates in transit, so online dispensaries do not ship it. The standard substitutes are THC oil or tinctures (drop-in, shelf-stable) or ready-made edibles.
What is a good substitute for cannabutter?
THC oil or a tincture is the closest substitute – mix it into any recipe at the same stage as butter, with exact milligram dosing. Ready-made edibles work if you want the result without baking.
Why is cannabutter not sold in stores or online?
It melts at a low temperature, spoils within days, and separates during shipping, so it cannot survive the trip. Legal retailers stock shelf-stable formats like oils, tinctures, and edibles instead.
How much does cannabutter cost to make?
The main cost is the flower: a standard batch uses about an ounce. Budget or AA-grade flower is the right choice for infusion since the butter carries the flavour, which makes homemade cannabutter cheaper per dose than most ready-made edibles.
How strong is homemade cannabutter?
It depends entirely on the flower used and the batch size. A typical ounce of 15-20% THC flower spread across two cups of butter yields roughly 10-15mg THC per tablespoon. Recipes with lab-tested flower make this predictable; ready-made oils make it exact.
