How do you get cannabis oil: A Complete Guide

Cannabis Oil

Cannabis oil has become one of the popular ways to use cannabis. It is a concentrated form of cannabinoids that is normally extracted from a solvent or mechanical process. This higher concentration means that cannabis oil is many times stronger than traditional flowers, and it is important to be careful with dosing and preparation methods. The quality of cannabis oil depends on three major factors: the source material, the extraction method, and finally the post-processing method. High quality cannabis oil exhibits a golden amber color, has a smooth thickness, and has a clean flavor free of residual plant material and/or solvents.

How do you Make Cannabis oil: The Classic Way

If you are interested in how to make oil cannabis, the easiest way is with coconut oil or olive oil as the oil carrier. When making cannabis oil this way, the cannabis must first be decarboxylated. To begin, you first want to grind your cannabis material to a uniform medium-fine consistency. Next, you spread the ground cannabis on a baking sheet and then place in a preheated oven set to 240°F. You may want to put the baking sheet on parchment paper to avoid sticking and to make it easier to handle after it’s finished. The goal is to bake the cannabis for 30-40 minutes. This method, at this temperature and time should effectively decarb the cannabinoids and terpenes while preserving the beneficial terpenes and other compounds in the cannabis plant. After decarboxylation, add the activated cannabis to your choice of carrier oil in a slow cooker or double boiler. Keep the temperatures between 160-180°F for two to four hours and stir it occasionally to keep it from burning. The low temperatures will keep the delicate terpenes and allow for a complete extraction of the cannabinoids into the oil.

How Do You Take Cannabis Oil

Holding oil under the tongue, sublingual administration, allows for a more rapid absorption of the oil through the mucous membranes. This method is expected to produce effects within 15-30 minutes of administration and has an excellent bioavailability. Oral consumption occurs when the cannabis oil is swallowed directly or in food. This method will produce effects that can occur 30-120 minutes after administration due to the time it takes for the oil to travel through the digestive tract and the liver. The liver metabolizes THC to a more active 11-hydroxy-THC which is more potent than THC and produces intense and long-lasting effects. Topical applications of cannabis oil can lend the user localized effects or relief without psychoactivity. This method allows you to apply the oil to the skin directly or blend the oil with your favorite carrier cream to make it easier to spread. New users should start with an extremely small amount, usually 2.5-5mg of THC to begin, and take another dose after 2 hours if desired.
