Cannabis oil, also known as weed oil, THC oil and canna oil is a cannabis-infused oil that is great for using in various food recipes. It is the next best marijuana-based ingredient besides cannabutter.
If weed butter isn’t your tipple why not give cannabis cooking oil a try? Made the same way, it does exactly the same thing as weed butter and many say it's equally as potent. If anything, cannabis oil is slightly easier to store than weed butter as you don’t need a fridge or a freezer. Once you make cannabis oil you can store it the same as any other oil, just pop it in the cupboard. Simple!
Ingredients For Cannabis Oil
1. 48 ounce bottle of Canola cooking oil
2. One large cooking pot
3. 1 ounce of nuggets or a quarter pound brick weed (or as much trim as you can fit in there)
4. A metal wire strainer (to drain the oil)
5. A large funnel that fits in the cooking oil bottle
How To Make Cannabis Oil
1. Empty the entire bottle of oil into a large pan.
2. HEAT on medium heat on a stove until the oil is hot but NOT boiling. About 200°F, or just below boiling, is great.
3. Crumble up marijuana into shake, and pour seeds, stems, and all into pot.
4. Keep stirring well about every 10 minutes or so for the next 2 hours. Do NOT allow the mixture to boil, but try to keep it hanging just below the boiling point. Make sure you don’t boil the cannabis oil, if it gets too hot the cannabis will burn and taste horrible.
5. After 2 hours, the oil may appear greenish, and possibly a little brown. This is normal as the resin has been properly extracted from the leaf products.
6. Let the oil cool for half an hour before this step. Carefully strain the cannabis oil through the strainer. Pour the cannabis oil into an equally large container - be sure to squeeze the weed well to get all the cannabis cooking oil out.
7. Funnel the oil back into the bottle and start cooking those lovely weed brownies!
Usage: Use sparingly. Remember, too much and you’ll be struggling to blink never mind walking or talking. A good rule of thumb is to do like for like with whatever you’re cooking. If it says 2 tablespoons of oil, use two tablespoons!
