If you prefer, you could enclose your weed coconut oil in capsules for discreet microdosing.

The best part is that cannabis coconut oil is for everyone, as it's vegan, serving as an excellent alternative to cannabutter.

Instructions

Grab all of the ingredients and equipment above and follow the simple steps below to create a powerful batch of cannabis-infused coconut oil.

Step 1: Decarboxylate the cannabis

Preheat the oven to 120°C. Grind your plant material to a coarse consistency and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so. Let your cannabis cool to room temperature, then grind it to a finer consistency.

Step 2: Combine cannabis with coconut oil

Choose your infusion method, depending on the equipment you have on hand:

• Slow cooker method: Combine cannabis and oil, then heat on low setting for 4–6 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Double boiler method: Heat cannabis and oil gently for 6–8 hours over simmering water.
• Quick stovetop method: Combine cannabis, oil, and a bit of water in a saucepan. Heat on low for 3 hours, stirring often and adding water as needed to prevent scorching.

Step 3: Strain & store

Using the sieve or strainer, strain the mixture into your container. Seal the container and discard the plant material, and voilà! Your cannabis-infused coconut oil is ready to use.

Dosage tip

Starting low and slow is always key with any cannabis-infused product. Try a lower dose and increase it as needed. The rule of thumb is that if 1 g of 20% THC cannabis is infused into 200 g of oil, a tablespoon (13 g) contains about 13 mg THC. Adjust dose based on the potency of your cannabis and personal tolerance.
