I've been helping patients with cannabis medicine for over 20 years and I’ve found that infused oils are one of the most effective and easy-to-make home remedies.
Cannabis Infused Oil Recipe
This recipe makes a potent infused olive oil made with dried cannabis flower.
Yields: Approximately 1 L
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 3-4 hours
Ingredients:
* 2 oz dried cannabis flower
* 1 L organic olive oil
Equipment:
* Heated stirrer, pot, or a crock-pot
* Whisk for stirring if cooking on the stove
* Large jars for storage (amber or dark-colored are best for preserving potency)
* Pourover cone with paper filters
* Scale
Instructions:
* Freeze 2 ounces of dry cannabis flower for 24 hours then break it up. Don’t crush it too finely or it will settle to the bottom and burn easily.
* I use a heater/mixer set to 105°C and cook for 3-4 hours, but you can make this on the stove top by heating over low heat and stirring constantly for 3-4 hours. You can also use a crockpot set on low, cook for up to 24 hours.
* Strain the oil VERY CAREFULLY while it’s still hot, using thick gloves and protective clothing. I found the best effect comes from straining as finely as possible so I strain through a coffee filter.
* Note: In this recipe I use olive oil, I have used MCT coconut oil in the past as well. The olive oil is thicker and a little more dense in recipes than the MCT (brownies are chewier), but it has a fantastic flavor and effect, with lots of health benefits.
* Cool and set: Leave the jars open and allow the oil to cool completely at room temperature. This can take a few hours.
Storage and Shelf Life:
* Store in dark glass in a cool dark place and it will last a year or more.
Uses
Orally:
* Sleeplessness
* Chronic pain
* Stress
Topically:
* Muscle soreness and aches
* Joint pain and inflammation
I hope this recipe brings you some relief from your symptoms. I look forward to hearing your feedback!
