Can cacao butter be used instead of coconut oil? (I don’t do well with the coconut oil and I will be using this for suppositories). I have searched like crazy to find a recommendation for decarbing such a tiny amount. Can you tell me how long and at what temp you suggest for this? I assume it will need less time and/or lower temp for a small amount. Somewhere I read said to make it 1-2mm sized bits for best surface area.

That’s not to say it didn’t work, but it didn’t seem to me to be worth the hassle. It was good oil with good flavor, but I’m always looking for the best, easiest and most constant results. I did a bunch of research and have started experimenting with cold water washing after the oil is done, with great success. Bad Kitty from Canna Pharm suggests four washes, but I’ve concluded that you can stop at two and still up the quality of your product without much added input. I’m going to begin with making the coconut oil to use straight for sleep to start.

I have to say I’m so impressed by the simplicity and ease of the Levo. I’m VERY confused about time and temp to make oil. The manual that comes with the MBM says 160 degrees for one hour. The Magical Butter website says 160 for two hours. Yesterday, I read in a forum that someone wrote the company and asked.

I made three batches of oil and tincture yesterday for lube and salves and cookies, and I’m so inspired by how much you can get done and the great quality that it puts out. The infused coconut oil recipe was the second one I tried. Worked ok but I think I needed more herb.

I am inclined to make the first batch straight coconut and weed. Maybe try the lecithin later. I want to have a baseline of the most basic ingredients. However, after a conversation with Corinne, I’m not using straight coconut oil at 160degF . But I am finding that squeezing the hallibut out of oil/cannabis mixture leaves a lot of oil.

My oil will be used more for pain management. Make your health a better one by using cannabis oil in your everyday life. Yes… Here in the Southwest, my material is always very very dry, but decarbing still transforms the THCA into THC making a more potent end product. I cooked mine for 6 hours, and it has a really pretty golden/green color.

• Has anybody tried, with success, making canna infused oil via sous vide method?
• The lecithin is new to me – happy you can add it after the fact as I couldn’t find any at the store and will get some at the health food store next week.
• I did a bunch of research and have started experimenting with cold water washing after the oil is done, with great success.
• Thank you so much for sharing all of your wisdom.

This was my first time decarboxylating (putting flower in the oven is a scary idea at first!) but it seemed to work great. I used about twice the plant material, as it was lower potency trimmings, and also went against your suggestion by adding water to cover the additional trim. I’m interested to see how the water effects flavor and ease of processing/storage. My question is this; Shouldn’t I be able to then decarb that oil infusement at what I have learned is 240 degrees. I’ve always read that to do that first, but won’t I get the same affect after the fact?

After 2 hours of heating and steeping, turn off the crockpot and allow the oil to cool before moving onto the next step. Decarboxylation and cooking cannabis in the crockpot are smelly endeavors. You can eliminate this smell completely by using a the FX, a Nova Decarboxylator or using the virtually smell-proof Cannabis Oil in a Mason Jar method. Theoretically, the small particles in your cannabis oil are absorbed more easily, making it more potent and effective with a potentially faster onset. Coconut oil is an accessible and versatile base for creating strong cannabis infusions, topicals, and medicinal edibles because of its high saturated fat content.

I’ll need to be more vigilant or invest in a temp. Has anybody tried, with success, cbd bath bomb bakersfield ca making canna infused oil via sous vide method? Wondering before I jump into it.

Ok… if it says its intended for vaping, chances are it isn’t activated THC either, as the process of heating it during vaping will perform the decarboxylation. Decarbing concentrates is much easier than flower, though. Simply put your oil on a silicone baking mat (If you don’t have a baking mat you can use parchment paper). The oil can bubble and expand, so leave room on the silicone mat. Place the mat on a glass baking dish.

Always decarboxylate your cannabis before making cannabis-infused coconut oil or cannabutter. You can read more about lecithin and edibles in my in-depth post here. You can make this cannabis-infused coconut oil and plug it into any of your favorite recipes. I grow once a year and turn it all into Can coconut oil then store individual serves in the freezer, but I worry that it might affect the active ingredients. With water, the temperature won’t exceed 212degF.

Can I Use This Recipe To Make Cbd Or Cbg Infused Coconut Oil?

I’ll be posting that very soon. My last batch I did a water bath for 7 days changing daily, that I read will remove the chlorophyll that is part of the smell I read but it didn’t work. Add WATER to the oil, keeping the temp very low/high melt, never letting the water dry up, cooking for 4 hours, stirring every hr. In my experience, not really. You’re more likely to lose a lot of the terpenes, flavinoids and cannabinoids that make canna oil an awesome way to ingest marijuana.

I’ve been following you for a couple of years now and always recommend this site for “beginners”. I make this oil/butter regularly, using trim and bud combined. I where to buy cbd capsules use it topically, for cooking and I make capsules. My fellow cancer patients count on me for all of it and I thank you for the knowledge and ability to help them.

I got distracted and put 7 g in 2 cups of oil instead of one. Can I D carb another 7 g and use that same completed oil to strengthen dispatch? I hope so… I was looking for a full strength oil to use in fat bombs and lube.

No matter what you decide to make, make sure to test your oil’s potency first. When using high THC cannabis, the result is very strong and it’s not fun to overdo it on edibles. I have found that left undisturbed in the frig for a while the oil begins to solidify. This is nothing more that recrystallization familiar to most chemists and a way of purifying that which is being crystallized.

I was writing a cannabis cookbook andhad to overthink it, but you totally don’t. This is a simple process and it should be enjoyable, not stressful. Just follow the instructions above, adapt or substitute for what you have on hand and share what works in the comments below. We can all learn from each other.

I can tell you that I have been in pain management since 2005 and I have needed upwards of 10 percocet per day to control my pain. She has mainly been able to send me patches and RSO because of transport. how much cbd oil in a bath bomb I have searched the Internet to find ways to use RSO to make edibles, salve and patches. This is a hotly debated topic in the world of homemade edibles, and I’ve landed on the side of not adding water.

It’s about more than just THC it this ballgame. The other compounds are important for creating a balanced and medicinal oil that can create an enjoyable experience for the user. I can’t really answer this one accurately. It’s hard enough to guesstimate dosage when you know the strain and you’re talking about never been vaped bud. I have three questions for you. If I’m using an Iolite and I usually vape my bowl twice before dumping the leftover, I’m imagining I might need to double the amount I use?

It will show up on a drug test even if you only use it topically. Gave some to my neighbor who didn’t use any other cannabis for a third degree burn. The burn healed in 10 days and she tested positive when her doctor did a standard drug test for pain management. If your skin is the largest organ of your body. How is it possible that this lube does not show up in any kind of testing? If it absorbs I would assume it would show up in the blood stream?

In some cases coconut oil will recrystallize in the frig and the liquid remaining will be a concentrated solution of the solute. If you can get your solution to do this then filter it in the frig and keep the liquid which will be much more potent than the original solution. I use the refrigerator for long term. And make sure you use tested cannabis and check the lab results personally. It’s important to make sure you’re getting clean plant material to start with. Crock Pot makes a “food warmer” that works great for infusing, because it doesn’t cook; it just heats up to about 160–175°F and stays there.

The Best Cannabis Coconut Oil Recipe With Photos!

You know Chaser, this is such a tricky question. Its so tricky I need to do some research and make a whole post about it. To be safe, decarb separately and then put it in the mb machine.

Why Cannabis Coconut Oil?

Plus the green seems to go with the water. The color of your oil will largely be determined by the plant material you use, how small you ground the plant material and how good your straining method is. I’ve had oils turn out in many different colors from amber, to dark brown, to electric green. Here’s a solid article by BadKat’s CannaPharm that talks more about why water is unnecessary and leads to less effective cannabis oil. In my experience, it leaves oil tasting bitter and can make your oil go bad quickly.

I definitely didn’t burn off all of the good stuff, if anything, it was too strong for me. I’ll experiment, maybe add more oil or add ingredients but for all of those out there who fear burning, keep a close eye on it. In my case, next time I’ll use a double boiler or maybe buy a smaller crockpot. By the way, I loved the smell of the coconut oil and weed together. Yesterday, I tried your method.

I’d say it’s about medium brown in color. I could put more fresh bud with it but I feel like I’m always getting my calculations wrong when I’ve done this in years past and they always come out too strong. I changed up the temps and times I use after reading this article. If you have any other evidence that would support the idea that it would “spoil the goods”, I’d love to read it.

Don’t fret over your canna-oil when it’s in the pot. People on the internet make this much more complicated then it has to be. Not me… but you know… other people on the internet.
