Whether you’re making cannabutter or cannabis oil, there are a few things you’ll need to make it – cannabis, coconut oil, a crockpot (a pot and lid on stove also works if you don’t have a crockpot), water, a filter like a cheesecloth, stocking or paper filter, and a jar with a lid.

The process to making cannabis oil is pretty simple – first you decarboxylate the cannabis, then you use heat and fat to extract the thc out of it, leaving it infused in the oil.

Once it’s finished, you’ll be left with a cannabis-infused or thc-infused coconut oil, known as canna oil. This oil can be used to make many different marijuana edibles recipes, as well, it can also be used for self-care, like a lotion or hair product.

For maximum potency, decarboxylate the cannabis before adding to the oil.

Cannabis decarboxylation is very simple to do and it also makes a huge difference in the potency of the finished canna oil. You simply Preheat oven to 240°F (160°C) exactly (use an oven thermometer to be sure).
Grind cannabis buds into a powder using either your hands or a grinder. Spread cannabis in a thin layer on a clean cookie sheet or any oven-safe dish. Put in the oven until the first of smoke or 40mins, whichever is first. Remove and set aside.

The best temperature to cook cannabis at

Temperature control is very important when cooking with cannabis. Cooking too hot could easily burn the cannabis, causing damage to individual terpenes, thus making it useless. Heat is most important during carboxylation as that’s when the acids in the cannabis are turned into active cannabinoids our bodies can use. Always try keeping temps below 300°F (148° C) as that’s when the cannabis is most likely to get burned.

What’s the best strain of weed to use to make cannabis oil

What strain you use to make your canna oil with is a very important thing to think about prior to making the cannabis oil. Simple way to remember – any sativa-based strain will be good for daytime use as it’s the “stay awake” strain. Any type of indica-based strain will be good for nighttime use as it’s the “sleepy” kind.

Different equipment used to make cannabis coconut oil

  1. The very crux of your writing while sounding agreeable originally, did not really sit well with me personally after some time. Somewhere within the paragraphs you actually managed to make me a believer unfortunately just for a short while. I still have got a problem with your leaps in assumptions and one would do nicely to help fill in those breaks. In the event that you can accomplish that, I could definitely end up being impressed.
