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.
