How to make cannabis oil?
|Tools Required
- Cheesecloth or Strainer
- Cooking thermometer
- Cooking medium – using a rice cooker is ideal because it distributes the temperature evenly
- Wooden spoon and pot
- Digital scale and cup – to weigh our study material to know exactly how much oil we are getting
- Parchment paper
- Coconut oil – for activating our product
- Spatula
NOTE: If you are doing this indoors, a household fan will be required.
STEP 1: Clean the area
To ensure that you are preparing this oil in a clean and safe environment, you have to clean the kitchen (if you are indoors) or the environment (if you are outdoors) before you start processing the medicinal oil.
STEP 2: Gauge your cooking medium
Take some water, pour in the medium and turn it on. Use a thermometer to confirm the temperature. The ideal temperature for this procedure is 195oC. Once you have calculated the temperature, you can discard the water and get ready for the next step.
STEP 3: Quick wash
Pour out the solvent in the subject (cannabis leaf, bark, flower, trim as well as some small stem) and do a quick wash.
STEP 4: Using the cheesecloth
First, shake the dirt out and wash it to be nice and clean before you start using it. Fold it and place it on the table and carefully pour the mixture in the cloth. Strain out the active cannabinoid out and squeeze it until nothing is left.
STEP 5: Boil the strained juice
To begin this step, you want to be as safe as possible. You have to leave the fans on, the side windows and back doors opened to make sure the fumes head outside. Take the strained out cannabinoid and pour into the cooking medium (rice cooker) and then turn it on.
TIP: Before you turn your fan on, place the cheesecloth over the fan so that no dust particle will fall on it.
It might take some time to get to the ideal temperature. Keep an eye on it to make sure it never burns. Turn off the cooking medium when it stops bubbling.
STEP 6: Extracting the oil
Extract the oil off the spatula to the parchment paper. Every bit of the oil is medicinal! There you go, the final Gorilla Healer oil!
STEP 7: Decarbing
The purpose for decarbing your oil is to activate the medicine. Place the rice bowl containing the oil into boiling water at 201oC. Add coconut oil in the ratio 1:1 (depending on individual preference) and then a cap full of water just to make sure the oil doesn’t burn. Let it cook for about 120 seconds to let it reach the temperature of our cooking method so as to let it activate the medicinal purpose of the oil.
TIP: Overheating it will reduce the effectiveness of the product.
