Edible Cannabis Oil - The Safe, Easy Way

---

In light of my last post, I figured this time I'd post a safe & easy way to make an edible cannabis oil at home.

If you're reading this, then chances are you know the benefits of cannabis oil.
If not, here are some good sources:
https://draxe.com/cannabis-oil/
https://healthyfocus.org/proven-benefits-cannabis-oil/
https://healthyhempoil.com/cannabis-oil-pills/
I'm not going to get too detailed for that on this post.
Though I will most likely make a detailed post about all the benefits in the near future.

This recipe makes an edible cannabis oil.
So to start off, here's what you'll need:

• Bowl x 2
• Metal Pot or Metal Bowl x 1
• Strainer x 1
• Oven
• Timer
• Coconut Oil 1L (I use unrefined cold-pressed, but any type will work)
• Dried Cannabis 1 - 2 oz (Trim works good as well!)
• Jar or Container (For the finished product)
• Neoprene Gloves (Optional)
• Parchment Paper (Optional)

I like to line all my work surfaces with parchment paper.
Though this is completely optional.
This is also the time to put on some neoprene gloves if you'd like.

Step 1: Prepare the Coconut Oil.

---

Put one litre of coconut oil into a bowl.
If it's unrefined cold-pressed, you may have to melt it down to a fully liquid state.
Don't get it too hot yet though. It will melt quick enough at °95 F - °120F.

The coconut oil needs to be in a liquid state to extract cannabinoids.

Step 2: Prepare the Cannabis.

---

Fill the other bowl with dried cannabis. Fill it 1/2 to 2/3.
Breaking the cannabis down finer is optional for this process, as it will be soaking.
Though, once broken down, the cannabis becomes easier to recover more coconut oil at the end.

Try to fill about 1/2 to 2/3 as much cannabis as you have coconut oil in the other bowl.

Step 3: Mixing.

---

Pour the bowl of coconut oil into the ground cannabis and stir gently.
Keep stirring until everything is full saturated.

Here, you can see why it is not good to match the amount of coconut oil to cannabis.
If you have the same ratio of coconut oil to cannabis, the plant soaks all of it up.
This makes things difficult when trying to recover the coconut oil.

Step 4: Decarboxylation

---

Pre-heat the oven to °240 F
In this step you may want to pour the contents of the bowl into a metal pot.
Once the oven reaches temperature, place the bowl or pot inside the oven.
Set a timer for 60 minutes.

Important Note!: Be VERY careful if you did not switch to a pot.
Humans begin to feel a burning pain when skin temperature rises to °111 F,
with first-degree burns developing at °118 F.

Step 5: Straining

---

Using care and oven mitts, you've removed the hot bowl or pot from the oven.
Let it cool for 15 - 20 minutes, or until you can't feel any heat radiating from the top.
Now, pour it through a strainer into another bowl.

This part is crucial to recovering as much oil as possible.
Once the strainer has stopped flowing, press on it firmly.
This will recover most of the remaining oil saturated in the plant.

Step 6: Repeat Steps 2 - 5 (OPTIONAL)

---

If you noticed, in the pictured manifesto, there was two bowls of cannabis.
This is because, I like to increase the potency by doing the process again.
Only this time we're not starting with fresh coconut oil.
This time we use the infused coconut oil to start.

Though this can only be done once or twice. As the coconut oil will stop emulsifying the cannabinoids once it becomes over saturated.

Step 7: Pour it into jars or containers.

Congratulations - You're finished!
Now you can make your own medicine at home, and show your friends and loved ones as well. Enjoy!
