Browsing Cooking With Cannabis

Be sure to keep cannabis infused coconut oil in an air-tight container (insects and critters love it). A glass jar with a wide mouth works well so that you can scoop it out easily. Place in a cool, dry place such as the corner of your cabinet in your kitchen. Like many other foods, you can also store cannabis infused coconut oil in the fridge to prolong its shelf life.

The infusion process does not drastically change the effects or flavors of the variety of cannabis used. Therefore, you will want to use a strain that delivers the desired effects you want to achieve (indica, sativa, hybrid, high-CBD). Most importantly, you want to be sure that the cannabis you use is free from impurities (such as mold, fungus, bugs, and pesticides). If the cannabis is compromised, the infusion process will not correct it.

Coconut oil has an average smoking point of 350° F, and it can be very tricky to cook on direct heat. Overcooking the oil compromises the fats and the taste will be most unappealing. If this happens, all you can do is throw it out, wipe the pan clean, and start over.

A double boiler is necessary for many reasons, the most important being that you can control the temperature to activate cannabinoids found in medical marijuana (such as THC and CBD).

The most important thing to remember is that the effects of consuming cannabis infused coconut oil (directly or as an ingredient in a cooked dish) are usually slow acting and long lasting. It might take 3+ hours for you to feel its maximum effects, and those effects could last for awhile. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or concerned about overdosing, don’t panic and just relax.

You will want to add at least one quarter ounce of cannabis (high quality flower 15%+ THC is preferred but shake and trim work well, too) to one cup of the “solid” oil. Many factors, such as the intended application, quality of the cannabis, the part of the plant used, and the effects desired will influence the amount of cannabis required to achieve optimal benefits. To get started, most patients use a 1 (ounce):1 (cup) ratio.

You can make cannabis infused coconut oil on your stove top or hot plate. All you need is a double boiler (if you don’t have a double boiler, you can make one), ¼ to ½ ounce of cannabis, 1 cup of coconut oil (organic, expeller-pressed works best for this process), 2-3 feet of cooking twine (a clean unused white shoestring will work in a pinch), and cheesecloth (about an 8” x 10” piece).

When you’re making cannabis infused butter (cannabutter), the key thing to remember is “low and slow” (eg. low temperature and a slow cook time). Infusing the butter with medical marijuana over low heat for several hours, never allowing it to boil, allows for full activation of the THC without scorching the herb or wasting material. Important: If you are looking for a more pyschoactive effect (eg. the high commonly associated with THC), then it is recommended that you completely decarboxylate your cannabis before cooking with it. The ‘decarbing’ process ensures the cannabinoids are activated and no longer in …
