How to Make Cannabis Coconut Oil

Posted on

Cannabis coconut oil is an entry point for many into the wonderful world of cannabis edibles. There are several different oils that can be infused with cannabis. Learn how to make cannabis oil with our easy recipe below.

This method involves using a crockpot/slow cooker, but, cannabis-infused coconut oil can also be made on a stovetop, in a mason jar, sous-vide, as well as the various machines (Magical Butter etc) available on the market that can make it for you automatically. Although many across the amateur culinary landscape hold the opinion that butter is for baking and oil is for cooking, cannabis coconut oil is an amazing compliment to savoury dishes as well as sweet.

For this cannabis and coconut oil infusion, we will be making 2 cups of total oil and will be using 15 grams of 20% THC cannabis flower. The final infusion will contain approximately 2,400mg of THC (at an over-inflated approximation) in 2 cups of infused coconut oil.

It is better to over-estimate the THC content of your cannabis edibles than to under-estimate. If you would like to read more about cannabis flower to oil ratio and finding an approximate dosage, click here.

For this cannabis coconut oil infusion, we will be using a crockpot/slow cooker. Different oils have different smoking/burning points and the crockpot/slow cooker keeps a very consistent temperature throughout the infusion process.

Cannabis-infused coconut oil will solidify in the refrigerator. The colour of cannabis oil should not be overly green or dark, rather a pale colour.

How Much Cannabis Do I Use in Infused Oil?

The amount of cannabis used in an oil infusion will depend entirely on the individual. Some may need more, while others will need far less than the 15-gram amount listed below. Everyone has a different endocannabinoid system which will determine how an individual reacts to cannabis and cannabis edibles. If you need an approximate guide to flower to oil ratio, click here.

  • Decarboxylated cannabis (15 grams for this recipe)
  • 2 Cups of carrier oil – Coconut Oil for this recipe (500ml)

Carrier oils that can be infused with cannabis include coconut oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, almond oil, canola oil, palm oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, and many many more.

How to Make Cannabis Coconut Oil: The Decarboxylation Process (Decarbing for Edibles)

Decarboxylation, or decarbing, is an essential process in making cannabis edibles. Cannabis is not psychoactive in its raw form and this process ensures that valuable cannabinoids, such as Delta-9 THC, are properly activated. Decarboxylation is the scientific process that takes place when cannabis is exposed to heat. In scientific terms, decarboxylation refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids that remove a carbon atom from a chain of atoms present within a plant such as cannabis. When heat is applied to cannabis, it will remove a carboxyl group from the THCA cannabinoid (non-psychoactive) and creates the psychoactive Delta-9 THC. Decarboxylation also occurs when cannabis is smoked or vaporized.

Decarboxylation in a mason jar is one of our favourite methods to use.

In addition, the process of decarboxylation also prepares cannabis for bioavailability, a process that allows cannabis to have an effect as an edible substance. Usually, all that is needed to decarboxylate cannabis for infusions and edibles are cannabis buds, a baking tray, a conventional oven, and high-quality parchment paper. For our guide on traditional cannabis decarboxylation, click here. Our guide to Mason Jar Decarboxylation can also be found here.

Learning how to decarboxylate cannabis will become an essential foundation in any cannabis consumer’s knowledge.

How to Make Cannabis Coconut Oil: Equipment Needed

In order to make cannabis oils or cannabutter, there are a few pieces of kitchen equipment that you will need. This equipment is easily found in a local store or online.

  • Large glass bowl or large pyrex-style measuring jug
  • Crockpot/slow cooker
  • Hand Strainer
  • Cheesecloth
  • A container such as a mason jar for the final product

Cooking with cannabis must be done safely, in any kitchen. A practice that many cannabis edible chefs follow is having separate pieces of equipment that are only used for cannabis infusions.

How to Make Cannabis Coconut Oil: Easy Crockpot Method

Making this infused oil is easy, as well as relatively mess-free with our method.

  • In a large glass bowl or measuring jug, add decarboxylated cannabis and coconut oil
  • Fill the crockpot with enough water to reach the halfway point of your large glass bowl or measuring jug
  • Place crockpot/slow cooker on medium-low heat and wait until the water has heated
  • Now, place the bowl of cannabis and coconut oil into the water within the crockpot/slow cooker
  • You can cover this infusion, although it is not necessary.
  • Ensure the water does not get too low during the infusion process, some will evaporate
  • Leave coconut oil and cannabis in the crockpot/slow cooker for 3-4 hours, stirring every hour or so
  • Line a hand strainer with cheesecloth (3-4 pieces on top of one another) and strain the cannabis coconut oil back into its original container or a mason jar
  • Store in the refrigerator and enjoy responsibly

This easy crockpot method provides a simple, somewhat mess-free, solution for making infused oil at home.

How Strong Will Cannabis-Infused Coconut Oil Be? Flower to Oil Ratio

Many cannabis consumers do not know the correct flower to butter or oil ratio (for their own personal dose) and may use too much cannabis, or too little, in their oils or butter. This can have an adverse effect on future cannabis edibles consumption and experiences as well as becoming somewhat confusing for those who are new to cannabis or cannabis edibles.

Coconut oil is incredibly versatile and can be added to many different sweet and savoury dishes. Adding cannabis to coconut oil provides an easy and convenient way to consume our favourite plant.

The five variables when considering a flower to oil ratio are:

  • The Amount of Cannabis Used
  • The THC Content of the Cannabis
  • The Amount of Oil Infused
  • How Much Oil (or Other Substance) You Will Use
  • How Many Servings You Make

The endocannabinoid system within humans and other mammals is responsible for the effects of cannabis. Every individual ill experience cannabis differently, there is no one-size-fits-all dosage in terms of cannabis oils or edibles. Learn more about the endocannabinoid system here.

      Hey Mitch, you can apply coconut oil to those sorts of ailments but I’m not 100% on the effectiveness of it – perhaps you could mix this coconut oil into a recipe for a balm for eczema. Thanks for your comment Mitch, I’ll be looking into recipes for an eczema specific balm so you’ll probably see a recipe from me very soon !

        I couldn’t walk well for 5 years after being attacked by eczema on my hands and feet and the only thing that cured me was eating cannabis oil concentrated before bed so i would stop scratching and get sleep, and applying canna coconut on my body.(very messy but worth a few ruined sheets and pj’s) it took a few months to clear it away, but the relief started immediately.
