Q:Why coconut oil?
A: Fat Content Coconut oil is 100% fat and this is what you need to extract the most thc from your material. What You Need: Weed A pot suitable for the amount of weed youre using Virgin Coconut Oil A wooden spoon Water Stove Now im usually working with atleast 100 grams of leaf and crap from the plant. This is quite a bit to fit into 1 - 2 cups of oil. In fact you couldnt even saturate all the foliage enough to even make it. The way I do this is with water. You simply put a good estimate of needed water into a large pot and bring to a boil. Add however much coconut oil you want to make, and melt it in the water. Add your leaf material and reduce to a simmer. You will wanna check on the pot every 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally and adding water as it evaporates. I usually do this for about 2 - 6 hours. Once finished you will want to strain everything into a bowl, do not discard the water it contains your oil. A womens nylon works the best. you may want to let the material cool a bit before ringing it out, be careful not to break the nylon. I like to give it another rinse in hot water and ring it out a second time just to get all the oil out. Now is the easy part, take the bowl you strained everything into and put it into the fridge overnight. In the morning the oil and water will have separated and since coconut oil is a solid at room temperature, all the oil in the bowl will be nice & hard and floating on top of the water waiting for you to pick it up and put into a dish. throw the water out and youre done. Very easy method and a good way to get stronger batches of oil. The water also keeps the oil from burning the thc out of the leaf since water boils at 212°F or 100°C and thc is a bit higher than that so it will keep the temp under control. Ive been doing this for years and have made some pretty strong batches of a cookies that will make you hallucinate. This recipe is perfect for people who like to make brownies over cookies for taste and other reasons since brownies use less oil than cookies you can make your oil very strong, comparable to various hash oils. If you have any questions come check out our social group about making hash and oils. Im sure we can help in some way. Marijuana Growing - The Hash Factory

Actually, it's saturated fat that's essential to thc extraction, and coconut oil is 92% saturated fat. It's also a *much* healthier saturated fat than is in dairy (it's mostly comprised of medium-chain triglycerides). It actually helps you lose weight. Not to mention the fact that, if you like the taste of coconut, the virgin coconut oil makes your brownies taste awesome. It's a great vegan alternative, too.
I use a crock pot (slow cooker) to make this. The slow cooker produces less heat, so you can make brownies mid-summer. You don't have to worry about having the heat too high and burning anything, water evaporating, etc.. You can also let it sit over night--no need to check it. You can go to a second hand store/Target/Walmart and get one for pretty cheap. It's pretty much the only thing I do with mine. The process is similar. Add desired amount of weed to water, about 2-3x the volume of the marijuana. Let this cook on a low setting for 20 minutes, then add your coconut oil (about as much as the water). Let it sit for 8 hours, stirring occasionaly. Strain out the bud, let the water/oil mixture sit covered in teh fridge until it is solid and seperated. Oil floats tot he top, so I cut out a hole and drain the water through this whole. Keep it in the same container in a cool place, under the sink, etc. Do not let the coconut oil sit in a liquified state for too long at room temperature. It's saturated fat content means it will spoil faster than other oils. Quote:

Actually coconut oil is fine at room temp. It is stored and sold in stores at room temp so how could it go bad all of a sudden? One of the main reasons for using coconut oil in snacks and cakes back before hydrogenated oils was because you could store them at room temp on the shelves.

Here in Cali over the summer it's too hot (and no AC means no temp control). So, when you melt it down it doesn't always re-solidify if you keep it out on the counter. Just threw that in so people were mindful of that fact, sorry for not clarifying Quote:
