Great post! I have some tips to add...
I have found coconut oil to be the best for THC absorption and have been using it for about 8 years, even before I stopped consuming animal products. Keep in mind you can use any type of oil such as olive, grape seed, etc.
You don't need a magic butter maker to make canna-butter;
- follow the decarbing instructions in this post
- then toss your buds into a crock-pot or slow-cooker for 8-12 hours, stirring occasionally. You can also use a pot and cook on low but be careful not to reach the simmer or smoking point of the oil (or fat) you are are using
- strain out the buds (I discard, not much left after a 8-12 hour extraction)
- Pour liquid coconut oil into measured amounts in containers (I do 1/2 cups) for ease of use later
- Bake or cook whatever you want with it
Thanks for providing the crock pot and stove top method @jayanarchon! It’s valuable content and I appreciate that you took the time to share it on this post. I would encourage you to write this as an independent post with some personal pics. There’s a new cannabis curation trail and (canna-curate), you can use it as a tag and you can join the trail on Discord (if you haven’t already).
Cheers,
Rebecca
Thanks @rebeccaryan!
So glad coconut oil works for you, it seriously does not work for the A blood type. :( Makes everything in the digestion system slippery because it's not being absorbed.
Ghee has been shown to absorb more cannabinoid oils per gram than all other oils. It's also extremely easy for all blood types to digest, making it an awesome carrier oil. When I make oil for consumption by others I always use ghee or a certified olive oil.
Crock pot cooking works awesome, you're correct. :)
Starting With Clean Cannabis is AWESOME!
Washing cannabis removes terpenes, terpenes you want infused into the carrier oil. Unless your cannabis was grown cleanly, it will most likely have one or more contaminates in and on it which will go into your canna-ghee.
I'm holding a raffle for a copy of my book which explains the variables behind growing clean cannabis. Clean cannabis is also trichome dense and very potent cannabis. ;) Enter today for a chance to win a copy.
