This beginner’s guide will show you how to make cannabis coconut oil at home. It is perfect for anyone who wants to learn how to make a cannabis-infused coconut oil that is dairy-free, plant-based, and can be used as a base for many cannabis-infused recipes and self-care products.
What do we need?
- 1 cup of ground cannabis flower (7-10 grams)
- 1 cup of coconut oil
There are many different types of coconut oil on the market today, the two most common being unrefined coconut oil & refined coconut oil. We use unrefined coconut oil.
Instead of flowers we use our Rosin-Press leftovers 
If you are trying it for the first time, please stick more to 7g everybody reacts differently to THC in edibles. Approach your amount slowly and carefully.
The Recipe
- Melt the coconut fat in a double-boiler, slow cooker, or saucepan
- Decarboxylate your flowers if you want. (If you don’t decarb first, I recommend infusing the coconut oil for longer than the typical 4 hours, going for at least 8 hours.)
- Combine oil and cannabis in your double-boiler, slow cooker, or saucepan and heat the two together on low or warm for 5 hours, stirring occasionally.
Once you’ve got an infusion of coconut oil, the uses are endless!
- Combine your infused coconut oil with beeswax and aloe to make your own an infused cannabis topical
- Use your coconut oil in place of oil in a recipe of your choice to make a variety of infused dishes (try Herb Roasted Potatoes!)
- Infused coconut oil can easily be used as a lubricant in the bedroom (But be safe! Coconut oil may weaken condoms)
- Put your infused coconut oil into capsules for easy measurable dosing
- Make an infused cannabis tea latte
