Pop22's Medicinal Canna-coconut oil: How I make it

[late]

I made some coconut oil extract yesterday.

I don't decarb. Tried it once, too much THC. I took the Yoda Dragon Breath buds and just went snip snip into the crockpot. I don't weigh it, I just eyeball it.

I have the original electric crockpot from the 70s.
Added some water, and cooked like that for an hour. Then added a pound jar of TJ's coconut oil, and let it go for 5 or 6 hours. At some point I take a hand blender to it. Used a potato ricer as part of getting the vegetative matter out of it.

Let it cool overnight on the porch, scraped the gunk off the bottom of the cake and put it back in the jar it came from. Made some brownies today, and I have got to say, YDB is good stuff.

Lecithin does work (so does mango, you might want to try combining the two, but I am way too chicken for that) but I never felt like I wasn't stoned enough. However, there were many occasions I felt too stoned until I got the hang of it.

dude, one 00 capsule of that will kick your ass! lol! I made blueberry mini muffins a while back a whole one was too much! A 1/2 was about max.......

Enjoy!

OK, and we are done and I think this came out real nice!
Suppose it's not a smart idea to drink it all at once?

Its been a while since I updated on how I make my oil for capsules and cooking. I took some new pics and here we go!

Like All i do, I try to distill things down to their simplest, usable, form. I measure the weed used but not the oil, as its will always come out very close to the same that it doesn't matter.

Today's batch of oil consists of:
15 grams of auto Ultimate bud, and 15 grams of trim. The trim was already decarbed. i placed the buds on a cookie sheet and baked at 250F for 26 minutes. I take them out of the oven and, using a fork, i crush them. this produces less fines that can get thru your filters.

I place the dried material in a small, Pyrex dish. I add coconut oil ( any cooking oil or butter can be used for cooking, butter however tends to softem the capsules so its not gook for them ) until it just covers the material. I let in soak in, then add just enough to cover the plant material by 1/4" roughly. I also ad ( this is optional ) a 1/2 teaspoon of lecithin, as it makes the oil easier for your body to process is my understanding.

I place the dish in a double boiler. these dishes came with silicone covers. i cover the dish to keep water vapor from condensing in the dish.

I clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. I adjust the stove until i maintain a temp of 190F in the water bath.

I cook for 2 hours, stirring often, every 15 minutes or so. I've done longer cooks but I see no improvement by doing so, it seems a waste of time to cook longer.

I strain while the oil is still hot as it flows thru strainers and filters easier. I use just a permanent coffee filter most often now as I don't get a lot of fine particles by crushing the material vs grinding.

After straining, I put coffee filter scraps in a garlic press and squeeze every last drop of oil out! I probably reclaim 10% or more of the oil this way.

I then refridgerate the oil for a day or two before using it. I don't understand the mechanism at work, but it seems to me the oil is stronger after being refridgerated for a few days. Maybe I'm just high though...... LOL!

and that's all there is to it! not strong enough? cook another 15 grams of trim or bud in the oil you just made, I guarantee you it will be super potent! I dilute some of the oil by 25% for daytime capsules so that my lady or I can medicate without getting high and can function through out the day. My lady's daughter is a stoner. She tried one of our "lite" capsules and it knocked her on her ass for 8 hours!

thanks for the how to do, love coconut oil, planning to have enough for oil and edibles this time arouind
