Has anyone ever made their own cannabis infused cooking (coconut or olive) oil?

[Siwsan]

I looked, on line, and they give lots of instructions but I couldn't find any good info on ratios.

1. I only infuse for salves and soaps

and use 1:4... but lots of info out there for edibles

this site suggests 1:1 (volume)

...1 ounce to one pound butter:

a ratio of half an ounce of cannabis for every pound of butter works well

2. Thanks!!!

I'm still waiting for the initial customer rush to slow down (legal recreational sales just started, in Michigan, on Sunday) but my plan is to concentrate on making my own edibles.

3. Check out the magic butter machine

I would highly recommend it. Used one for about 5 years and love it. I use coconut oil. I made a tincture but Everclear and heat are not fun to work with. Thought it was going to explode butter is where it’s at.

4. I think butter is a grand idea - much more versatile for cooking/baking

5. One last thing

Pre-carb the herb. I put it on a baking sheet in the oven for 220 degrees for 2 hrs.

6. I've been reading about that

Also found instructions for making a tincture so I'm saving my CBD bottles. I see some 'trial and error' in my future, but I'm sure I'll find a good mix for both the tincture and the infusions.

7. uhmm, it's "De-Carb"..... not pre-carb..

A technical nit, I agree.

But what you are doing is driving off a carboxyl group and changing thc-a to thc. thc-a isn't psychotropic; burning it when you smoke it or cooking it converts it for you, but if you use it to create an extract, it won't be converted..

But beware, if you overcook it, you will create thc-n from the thc. Nothing wrong with that, but thc-n will make you very sleepy and also isn't psychotropic.

Not that I would know anything about it. Just sayin.

8. Sorry about that

And thanks for the good info!

11. Most recipes say to decarb at 240 for about a half hr

then I spray with ever clear, let sit for 15 min, and then put in a crock pot with butter for about 5 hrs on low. Strain thru cheesecloth and squeeze. I've made it with coconut oil same way but you don't have to crock pot it as long.

13. THCN

Is great if insomnia is your challenge.

12. Look up the Everclear in the freezer recipes online.

Good for gummies.

9. You can also check out Reddit

r/treedibles is the sub. LOTS of ideas! Have you heard of the slow cooker method? It seems pretty popular.

10. The magical butter machine makes a pure plant extract

But I don’t really care for the strong taste. I prefer a quick wash with everclear.
The way I do it, it’s really safe. I freeze the decarbed bud or trim. Then pour everclear from the freezer into it, swirl about 30 seconds, then filter it into the top of a double boiler. The mixture will be the color of pee. A light straw color. Do not use near a flame. I have a electric cooktop with a glass top and I ventilate the heck out of the room. It only takes a few minutes to reduce the alcohol by half. I then take the pan off the heat and let it all sit until the alcohol is gone.
