Do I HAVE to strain my cannibutter?

[sassafras]

Hi Folks

Getting sleepy & about to turn the heat off on my cannibutter soon (double boiler method, has been 3 hours). It's my first batch. All recipes I've found say you have to strain it after it cools. But what if I don't bother straining? Is it just a preference to strain the bits out or is there actually some kind of ill-effect to leaving it in? I think I'm going to make brownies, so I wouldn't think the pot would have a bad taste mixed with the chocolate (I grew it myself, so I know there's nothing nasty in it).

Input appreciated

All the "googies" (THC, CBC) are gone from the green. It tastes terrible and has a bad texture. I cannot imagine not straining.
