Cannabis Coconut Oil

[TalentedDave]

Hi Folks,
I am preparing to make some cannabis coconut oil today and I'm curious about how much bud to add to 29 ounces of organic coconut oil. I'm planning to make both a topical ointment as well as cooking with some of it. I'm going to cook it on low in my crockpot for 12 hours...longer if anyone thinks there's a benefit to this. I have a 64 ounce container full of various kinds of buds from this years outdoor grow that I set aside for cooking. I'm just not wanting to waste bud by adding too much but also want some kickass product. So rather than <~doing that....I thought I'd ask your opinions..

Thanks in advance....Dave

Well no replies but I read about the recipe for making capsules of coconut ganja oil so I'm going with 1 cup of the extra virgin organic coconut oil to 1 shot glass of keif from bud or a little over 9 grams. I put the 2 together in a jar and set in an inch or two of water in my covered crock pot on high. I'll leave it on high until the ingredients melt together then turn it down to low for a couple hours and see what develops. After it's done I'll put the jar in the fridge overnight and make the caps tomorrow. Should be fun...

well dave ive made and still make several recipes in a crockpot.what you do is add your ingredients and turn it on high till everything is steamy not boiling then turn it on low,stirring when convenient,4-5 times is enough,leave it cook till your medicine turns a greyish colour and you see dark oil pockets on the top of the water,the cooking time varies but those oil pockets are what you are looking for(very important)hope this helps and by the way you are certainly a most telanted individual with that camera thanks for the contributing,ive really enjoyed the art you have shared!!!!

Sorry, Dave, I have been Christmas shopping all afternoon. I have been researching making salves and balms for people and I know at freemygreen, they have a section on cannabis conncoctions, and they suggest useing cocanut oil as it is better absorbed by the skin. Also, some people have used emu oil as well, for a highly penetrating oil. Just for interest sake, take a look at this thread.

Please let us know how it goes. I am going to make some of the HAO hopefully this week, as well as Healing hemp oil, and I have some cocanut oil extra virgan from the health food store that I plan to use as well as some bees wax so it is more a salve rather than a runny oil.

I will do a tutorial on it when I have done it.

Peace

Aloha Dave!

I have made tons of coconut oil for use in cookies and other yummy vegan baked goods...
I used 1 jar (about 12oz) of organic coco oil, and (literally) about 2 handfuls of trim, simmer on very low on a stove for about 2 hours. The cookies I made were quite potent little ginger snaps and one could really only eat half...
I would think that Buds would be more potent so you might use less. And also, coconut oil can burn quickly and easily. I have heard that you can certainly overcook the weed and end up with nada... I would imagine that 12 hours in a crock pot would be cool as long as the heat was very low.
I have burned it before as well and caught it quickly, the oil was still good but didnt have the best of yummy flavors :(
Anyway... these are my thoughts and experiences, I would love to hear how your trials go

Aloha!
