A local entrepreneur has created a kitchen device that uses plants and butter to make for some interesting tastes.
It looks like an ordinary kitchen appliance, but 36-year-old inventor Garyn Angel tells us Magical Butter is anything but ordinary. His creation pulls botanical extracts and injects them into butter and oils.
Angel, who graduated from the University of South Florida, came up with the idea for the device back in 2011, when a friend with Crohn's disease started seeking alternative treatments.
Several prototypes later, Angel had a way to extract the cannabinoids from marijuana plants without having to smoke it.
"It is the healthiest way to do it," said Angel. "Across the board, there's 20 states that are medicinally legal,so we sell everywhere."
And people are buying. Angel said more than 10,000 Magical Butter machines have been sold since the product first hit the shelves.
"We opened Nov 7, 2012," Angel said. "And by January 7th 2013, the MB1 was sold out."
Angel predicts those numbers will continue to rise with every state that legalizes marijuana.
With offices in Port Richey, Seattle and Hong Kong, Angel said Magical Butter will be ready.
