It’s easier to measure out a dose and repeat it, rather than having to gamble with each edible or each smoke session whether you got lucky or not. The guide below shows how you get cannabis oil, using cannabis oil and finding good sources of cannabis oil to help you find success with less trial-and-error. ## What Cannabis Oil Is (And Why Carrier Oil Matters) Cannabis oil consists of cannabinoids (THC, CBD or both) suspended in a carrier oil (such as MCT or olive oil). Cannabinoids are fat-soluble, which means the carrier oil is NOT simply “placeholder” – it serves as the medium that carries and delivers the active compounds. Ultimately, your end result depends on 4 variables: Starting Material, Activation, Temperature of Infusion and Storage Away From Light/Air. ## How to make oil cannabis (Using A Method That Works) Activating the cannabis is Step 1, followed by Step 2 – Infusing the activated cannabis into the carrier oil. **Step 1 – Activation (Decarboxylation)** Activate your cannabis at 230-240°F (110-115°C) for 30-40 minutes. Chop the cannabis into smaller pieces (do NOT grind into a powder) and lay them flat across a baking sheet to dry. Let the cannabis cool completely. This step converts THCA into Active THC. Omitting this step generally results in an unimpressive oil. **Step 2 – Infusion (Gentle Extraction)** Combine the activated cannabis with your carrier oil, and hold it at 70-90°C (158-194°F) for 2-3 hours. Use either a double boiler or slow cooker. Stir every now and then. DO NOT BOIL! High heat reduces flavor and quality quickly. Once complete, strain the mixture and place it in a dark-glass container for storage. Type Of Cannabis Used, Potency Levels And Estimated Total THC And Approximate Amount Per Milliliter Of Cannabis Oil | **Type of cannabis used** | **THC %** | **Total THC** | **Approx. amount of THC per 1ml (250ml cannabis oil)** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 7g | 15% | 1050mg | ~4mg/ml | | 10g | 18% | 1800mg | ~7mg/ml | | 14g | 20% | 2800mg | ~11mg/ml | ## How do you take cannabis oil (Timing and Feel) How you choose to take cannabis oil affects the overall experience. When taken sublingually (under the tongue), cannabis oil typically kicks in much quicker and provides more control over the effects. When consumed orally (in capsules or added to food), cannabis oil tends to take longer to affect you, but has a longer-lasting effect. New users: Start low and go slow, and be consistent – Consistency Wins Every Time Over Bravado. **Common Ways People Use Cannabis Oil** - Sublingual (Under the Tongue): Usually 15-45 minutes before you feel it - Capsules/Swallowed: Typically 60-90 minutes before you feel it, longer duration - Mixed Into Food: Similar to Edibles, Slower Onset “It takes longer than vaping, but it’s much smoother and easier to plan around.” — our customer ## Where Can I Get Cannabis Oil Without Guessing Quality? Whether you make your own or purchase cannabis oil, you want a reliable source that you can trust and repeat. **What To Look For In Purchasing Cannabis Oil** - Clear THC/CBD potencies (Not Vague Claims Such As “Strong”) - Good packaging and storage (Dark Glass = Plus!) - A Seller Who Explains Usage and Dosing Responsibly ## Small Tips That Make Big Differences Some detail separates “Okay” Oil from “Why Does This Taste Like Lawn Clippings?” Oil: - Keep Temperatures Gentle – Overheating Reduces Quality Quickly - Don’t Grind Too Fine – Powder Pulls More Chlorophyll and Bitterness - Label The Bottle (Date + Estimated Strength) So You Don’t Go Crazy Trying To Keep Track ## Skip The Kitchen Experiments If you don’t want to mess with temperatures, strainers, and calculations, just order ready-made [cannabis products](/shop/) from Canna City.
