Cannabis Coconut oil has managed to infuse its way into some of our industry’s most sought-after products, including edibles and topicals, but why? The reason can be attributed to a few important factors.
AD
First, coconut oil has among the highest concentration of fatty acids (saturated fats). The surplus of these fatty acids in the coconut oil creates a stronger binding agent for cannabinoids. Compared to olive oil, which contains a saturated fat content of less than 20%, coconut oil contains over 80% saturated fats and thus has the ability to retain far more cannabinoids during extractions, rendering far more medicinally efficient products in return. Coconut oil, therefore, is a near perfect medium for cannabis.
Coconut oil also contains other sets of beneficial acids that have been known to have a list of potential health benefits.
Lauric acid is a great example — when digested, lauric acid creates a monoglyceride that acts as an antimicrobial. These fatty acids are found in abundance in coconut oil, making it a top contender for those looking for a healthier oil base than butter or canola oil.
For less cannabis flavor, there is an option to soak your cannabis in hot water for 8 hours before starting this recipe. Since THC is not water soluble it won’t take away any of the potency.
Important: If using a mason jar, make sure to start with cold water, and also let the water cool back gradually so it wont shatter.
THC Dosage: 43-86 mg per tablespoon.
Ingredients
- 1/4 to 1/2 Ounce Cannabis

Doesn’t 1500 MHz differential serial I/O make the chip practically SATA-compatible?
Hi how big are the cups how many mls do they hold want to make sure I get it right
A cup is 8 ounces. Surely there is an oz to ml conversion table on the internet somewhere.
I’m not sure why this post got such a low rating. Directions are simply put, easy to understand.
Uhm, are you stupid? Recipe is for coconut oil. Ingredients call for 2 things canabis and coconut oil. Directions say use butter. Not even a mention of coconut anything
LOL!! Your post doesn’t exactly make you look smart.
Don’t be a fucking cunt
May I suggest that you read the directions again, and then show us all where it says to use Butter, and no mention of Coconut Oil?. Maybe you have smoked to much weed before reading this? 😉
Cooking on the stove with coconut oil.
I just not sure weather to boil in hot boiling water or just low heat boil for 3hrs?
Obviously the author made a mistake meaning to say “oil” and instead said “butter”. So sue em.. Jeez, like we don’t all F-up occasionally. Excellent recipe. Thank you.
This is a great idea, especially if you don’t like the ‘smell’ of cooking cannabis! Can’t wait to try this out!
The post author was not mistaking when he spoke about butter as anyone that already used Coconut oil would know that it comes in solid form hence explaining the term better.
