Step 1 — Combine Cannabis and Oil
- Place ¼ ounce of ground cannabis in a saucepan with the oil.
Step 2 — Simmer on Low Heat
- Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture continuously over low heat for 10-20 minutes.
- Low heat is necessary to avoid vaporizing the THC and other beneficial compounds.
Step 3 — Let Cool
- Remove from heat and let cool for 30 minutes.
- It’s important to let it cool before straining to avoid getting burned.
Step 4 — Strain
- Pour the mixture through the cheesecloth or strainer into a bowl.
- This separates the oil from the cannabis.
Step 5 — Press Out Excess Oil
- Use a spoon to press the remaining oil out of the cannabis.
- Discard the cannabis after this step.
Step 6 — Store Oil
- Store canna-oil in a tight sealing container.
- Refrigerate or keep in a cool dark place for up to a year.
- You can use canna-oil as you would regular cooking oil.
