Gather your supplies
You will need:
-1 ounce of ground cannabis (bud or trim)
-16 ounces of coconut oil
-1 double boiler or slow cooker
-Coffee filter or cheese cloth
-Funnel
Instructions:
1. Grind the cannabis and put it in the double boiler.
2. Add the coconut oil to the double boiler.
3. Heat the mixture on low for 6 hours, stirring occasionally.
4. After 6 hours, remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
5. Pour the mixture through a coffee filter or cheesecloth into a bowl.
6. Use a funnel to pour the cannabis oil into a glass jar for storage.
Decide on a method
There are many ways to make cannabis oil, but the most popular methods involve using either CO2 or butane as a solvent. These solvents are effective at extracting the THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids from the cannabis plant, but they can be dangerous if not used properly.
If you decide to use CO2, you will need to purchase a commercial CO2 extraction machine. These machines are expensive, but they are also very effective at making high-quality cannabis oil.
If you decide to use butane as a solvent, you can make cannabis oil in a kitchen using simple equipment that is readily available online or at your local hardware store. However, it is important to note that butane is a highly flammable solvent, so extreme care must be taken when using this method.
Prepare your cannabis
The first step in how to make cannabis oil is to prepare your cannabis. For this recipe, you will need 30 grams of CBD cannabis. If you don’t have access to CBD weed, you can use regular THC weed, but the oil won’t be as potent.
Once you have your 30 grams of weed, grind it up into small pieces. If you have a grinder, great! If not, you can use a knife to chop it up as finely as possible. The finer the grind, the better the final product will be.
Now that your cannabis is ground up, it’s time to decarboxylate it. This is an important step in how to make cannabis oil because it activates the THC in the weed so that it will be more potent. To decarboxylate your weed, spread it out on a baking sheet and bake it at 245 degrees Fahrenheit for 40-60 minutes.
Choose your oil
One of the most versatile ingredients in cooking is oil. In fact, it’s hard to think of a food that isn’t improved by a little bit of oil. Frying in oil brings out the flavor and texture of food, and is a popular way to cook. Oil is also used in baking, as a salad dressing, and to make sauces.
So it should come as no surprise that cannabis oil is one of the most popular ways to consume cannabis. Cannabis oil can be used in many different ways, and has a variety of applications. It can be smoked, vaporized, ingested, or applied topically.
Cannabis oil can be made from either marijuana or hemp, and contains THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids. The percentage of THC and CBD will vary depending on the strain of cannabis used to make the oil.
Cannabis oil can be made in several different ways. The most common way is to extract it from the plant material using a solvent like ethanol or Rick Simpson Oil (RSO).
Once the cannabis oil has been extracted, it can be used in many different ways. It can be ingested directly, or added to food or drink. It can also be vaporized using an e-cigarette or vape pen. Cannabis oil can also be applied topically to the skin.
Infuse your oil
Cannabis oil is a potent concentrate that can be savored in many ways. The basic idea is to infuse some type of oil with THC and other cannabinoids, then use this oil to cook or bake. This process is called decarboxylation, and it’s important because it activates the THC in the plant material, making it more psychoactive.
Here’s what you need to make cannabis-infused oil:
-1 cup of your preferred oil (olive, coconut, canola, etc.)
-1 ounce (28 grams) of cannabis flower or shake
-A glass jar with a tight-fitting lid
-Cheesecloth or a coffee filter
-A cooking pot
-A wooden spoon
The steps:
1.Preheat your oven to 245 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius). Break your cannabis into smaller pieces and spread it out on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring a few times throughout. This process is important because it helps to convert the THCA in the cannabis into THC.
2.Once your cannabis has finished decarbing, let it cool for a few minutes before handling.
3.Place your cheesecloth over the mouth of your glass jar and secure it with the elastic band. Pour your warm oil into the jar, then add your decarbed cannabis.
4.Stir well and screw on the lid tightly. Place your infused oil in a dark cabinet or cupboard and let it infuse for four weeks, shaking occasionally to redistribute the plant material.
5.After four weeks, remove the lid and cheesecloth (be careful not to spill any oil) and discard the spent plant matter. Pour your infused oil into a dark glass bottle or jar with a tight lid and store in a cool, dark place until you’re ready to use it!
Filter your oil
Once you have your cooked cannabis, the next step is to filter your oil. This is an important step because it will remove any impurities or plant matter that could affect the quality of your oil.
The simplest way to filter your oil is to pour it through a coffee filter. If you’re using a large amount of cannabis, you may need to use several coffee filters to get all of the oil.
You can also use a cheesecloth or other type of fabric to filter your oil. Just be sure that the fabric you use is very fine so that no plant matter gets through.
Once you’ve filtered your oil, it’s ready to use! You can add it to recipes or take it on its own.
Store your oil
You’ve made your cannabis oil and now you need to store it. Cannabis oil will stay fresh for around two months if stored in a cool, dark place. Much like olive oil, you want to avoid storing your cannabis oil in direct sunlight or near any source of heat. An airtight container is also key to keeping your oil fresh. Be sure to label your container with the date you made the oil as well as how many THC or CBD milligrams are in each tablespoon so that you can keep track of its potency over time.
