How To Make CBD Oil At Home: Become An Expert!

Homemade CBD oil recipe from marijuana flower

In this recipe we will teach you how to make CBD oil from cannabis flower.

CBD oils that are for sale online are always hemp derived, as hemp contains maxium 0.3 percent THC, which is federally legal. However, it is also possible to extract CBD from marijuana buds at home, this can be done if marijuana is legal in your state or country. Before we show you how to make CBD oil at home, lets talk a little about the main ingredient!

What is CBD Oil?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a derivative of the cannabis plant, cannabis sativa. This plant contains many chemical compounds called cannabinoids. Uniquely, CBD is a cannabinoid that does not elicit intoxication. Interestingly, this characteristic differentiates CBD from its psychoactive counterpart, THC.

For best results, select a cannabis strain that contains elevated levels of CBD and low levels of THC. Primarily, hull this plant of its’ flowers. Secondly, these buds require a process called decarboxylation. Continue with this cannabis oil recipe to create a perfectly infused CBD extraction.

How do I decarboxylate my CBD bud?

It is imperative to decarboxylate your CBD bud. Decarboxylation (decarb) is the removal of the carboxyl group from the cannabis plant. This removal optimizes cannabinoids for receptors in the human body. Be sure to check out the cannabis oil recipe below for step-by-step decarb instructions.

Informatively, to decarboxylate your cannabis plant, breakup its buds and spread them over a baking sheet. The temperature of cooking is imperative to this decarb process. Cover the sheet in aluminum foil, and place in the oven for 25-45 mins at 240F/115C.

How is Cannabidiol Oil infused?

Following decarboxylation, your CBD bud is ready to infuse into oil. Initiate this process by grinding your flower. Upon completing this task, add your fine grind to a mason jar. Next, add 1 teaspoon of sunflower lecithin and 1 cup of your favorite oil to this jar.

Now, seal and place the jar in a pot of cold water. Bring this water to a boil for 2-3 hours. Once completed, let this CBD infusion cool. Strain your oil through cheesecloth into a separate jar. Congratulations, this is cannabis oil!

Why use CBD Oil instead of THC Oil?

If you are seeking health benefits instead of a high, CBD is your best option. Excitingly, using this bud may provide access to potential healing properties. Of course, these are very promising attributes for the health and wellness community. Such potentials include, anti-inflammatory, anti-nauseant, and anti-anxiety capabilities.
