Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Organic Coconut Oil I like the big jug of unrefined Nutiva because I use it a lot and the flavor/scent is really delightful. If you don't like the taste of coconut or you'd like to save some money, the refined stuff is a bit cheaper and doesn't have a tropical smell
  • 1 cup Decarboxylated Cannabis or Hemp about 7g or 1/4 oz.
  • 1 tablespoon Sunflower Lecithin  If you reeeeallly don't like the flavor of lecithin use 1 teaspoon. Otherwise, use 1 Tablespoon per cup

Equipment

  • 1 Ardent Decarboxylator and Infuser (optional)

Method
 

  1. Decarboxylate your cannabis using a mason jar or decarboxylator 
  2. In a crockpot on warm or low, combine: coconut oil, sunflower lecithin and cannabis. Stir and insert a thermometer. 
  3. infuse for 2 hours at 160-180 f
  4. layer a strainer with multiple layers of cheesecloth
  5. pour cannabis into strainer and let drain for 10 minutes
  6. once cooled to a touchable temperature, squeeze remaining oil out of the plant material
  7. store in a cool dark place

Notes

dosage note: At 20% THC this works out to about 29 mg THC per teaspoon. If you work with stronger cannabis, say 30% THC, each teaspoon would be about 42 mg THC per teaspoon.
Make sure to take it slow and always get a rough idea of how strong your oil is by using the dosage calculator.
If you're new to cannabis or if you're trying to refine your use, you can check out this post about microdosing and balancing ratios.
You can also use cannabis that is high in CBD and CBG to make blends to create a cannabinoid ratio that works for you.
