Yo, Sid here. Just whipped up a fresh batch of cannacoconut oil and had to share—using coconut oil (especially MCT-rich) is a total game-changer for absorption compared to regular butter, and it’s super versatile.
Ingredients:
* 7 to 10 grams of your favorite flower (about 1/4 oz), ground up
* 1 cup of organic coconut oil (MCT or virgin)
Steps:
1. Decarb first! THC isn't active in raw flower, and since cannabinoids are fat-soluble (not water-soluble), we have to prep the bud before infusing. Spread your ground flower on a lined baking sheet and bake at 240°F (115°C) for 30–40 minutes to activate the THC.
2. Melt your coconut oil in a saucepan or double boiler on low heat.
3. Stir in your decarbed flower. Keep it on a low simmer between 160–200°F (70–95°C) for 2 to 4 hours. Stir it occasionally so it doesn't burn.
4. Turn off the heat, let it cool a bit, and strain it through a cheesecloth into a clean glass jar. Don’t squeeze the cloth too hard or you’ll get excess chlorophyll.
Quick heads up on using this stuff: edibles are no joke because they go through your liver, meaning it can take 30 to 90 minutes (sometimes longer) to actually kick in. Don't double down too quickly! If you're new to this, start super low—around 5–10mg of THC is a solid starting serving. Label your jar clearly so nobody mistakes it for regular cooking oil, and keep it way out of reach of kids and pets. Stay safe and enjoy! — Internet of Pot
