Confused with coconut oil recipe/temperature for CBD extraction

Hello all, I'm wanting to use my TRIM + about 1oz of good kush to make a strong CBD oil for ingesting and topical use (not necessarily for effects BUT for medical benefits CBD itself offers). I don't want THC, just CBD. I've been searching but can't seem to find the answers i'm looking for.

I have a low temp fondue pot, so I can adjust the temperature to whatever I want pretty much.

On my last batch of oil I simply INFUSED coconut oil with my plant material on 110F for a couple days. I got a bright green oil with no noticeable effects (obviously since I didn't heat up enough). My question being, will I get the benefit of CBD (medically speaking) by just infusing at low temperature or do I need to get the effects of the CBD to actually get the benefit??

I *THINK* I would still get the benefit since people eat the leaves for health? I'm basically looking for a CBD oil recipe to use with coconut oil....... Or should I simply make rick simpson oil and then combine what I get with coconut oil jar??

So my options are:

1. make rick simpson oil (i made some of this before, and I never noticed any medical affects from using it??)
2. infused coconut oil on low temps 100F to infuse WITHOUT activating anything in the cannabis
3. cook my plant material WITH coconut oil at about 350F for a certain length of time (how long??) to kill THC and be left with CBD only

Opinions/comments please?

Also, if I'm using cured bud on top of trim, do i need to decarb trim/cured bud??? or can i just let it thoroughly dry out before using in recipe?

Decarbing converts THC)a=acid to THC-also raising the levels of THCA to THC and CBD-CBN- there is electron microscope proof of this. in case ya wanna see it.. it is pretty cool



If your goal is to have higher CBD-CBN's then you will need to check out the strain you are growing to get an average of the contents..

(check out leafly.com or seed selling websites which will give you an aprox of what the strain contains generally)

I dont want to confuse ya or make you any way discouraged. If you have an ailment.. or condition let us know we may be able to help ya out..




I have dealt with severe pain for 22 years and no longer on all my narcotics for pain. I spent over 2 years myself titrating myself and learning what I need for pain and daily life and the THC (or psycho active effects) has never been an issue for me.

each person acts a bit different on this stuff..


You may want to consider juicing the fan leaves.. not sure how you act on this stuff but juicing is generally non thc active..

hmm...thanks for the reply, but I'm still confused

I just want to know the "best" way to make an extract with CBD either with the high or without......but I want the CBD medical benefits to use as topical for rash/blisters/sores and as an edible just to take some daily as a prevention/health booster. I don't care if the CBD "high" is there or not.... but I definitely don't want THC really because it won't be used only by myself and non-smokers

As far as strain goes...i'm using a couple different indicas because I have no way to test them from og kush , blueberry, purple urkle, etc etc. So my plan was to just combine them.

So should I decarb my buds then? Also, whats the best preparation ?? I can cook at any temperature needed

btw, I do eat the leaves, but i don't have a good way to store them they go bad kinda quick so the oil is ideal because it can be used for along time without going bad

thanks again

bumpppppppppppppppppppp

you can look online on those strains to see what has the highest content.

if you only want cbd-cbn try fan leaves they hold less THC higher ammounts of CBD-CBN to extract it.. you can juice it raw...
or make an oil without heat. Heat will activate the THC.. cbn-cbd does not need het to be active (but you can increase them by heat)

the extraction method you are wanting can be in a tincture or oil

IMO dont eat the leaves raw.. they contain fibers that can upset the lining of the stomach in some people.

to decarb take 15g of bud wrap in a tinfoil pouch then bake at 225 for about 20-25 mins till the buds are crunchy and fall apart when you squeeze them

dont think there are extraction methods that separate thc/cbd

blasphemy!!!! burn him! THC killer!

When you say the extraction i want is a tincture or oil, would it be better to not use much heat on the oil (to preserve as much cannabanoids as possible)?? So just infuse coconut oil with about 2oz of bud?? also how long should i let them infuse for? and if i use my fan leaves i guess they need to be completely dried out (decarbed) also?? thanks again man, sorry for all the questions

so i'm kinda on a deadline to get this stuff made.........

........to the fondue pot at 110F i add 18oz coconut oil and about 2oz of primo decarbed crunchy flower buds. i wonder if its too much flower for the oil??? how can i tell if the oil absorbs / infuses everything??

ok, so how long should i let this go for? i was thinking a couple days since its on low temp?? like maybe 4-5 days? and stir occasionally. i hope i didnt just waste 2oz of flower hehe

........so the other reason i decided to just infuse and not cook is because once the oil is infused, i should be able to cook with it anyway, correct?? when i want a heavy THC high...and then when i don't want the high, just use the oil raw for CBD since its only at 110F??????

thanks!!! + rep

low and slow..... low temp =slower cook time..
4-5 days enuf? perhaps

I dont think the magic oil and thc level has been figured out when too much thc is too much for the oil.. (not that I have seen yet)



it will work I am pretty sure of it..

Dimyself, you say you tried the RSO, and it did nothing for you? Did you try the full treatment of 60 grams?

I'm hoping to make some myself from the fall harvest.

What solvent did you use?

My understanding thus far of the RSO is only beneficial to those with cancer or cancerous growth is this correct?

No, CBD itself (RSO extract) is good in general for the body/mind/immune system. It has many benefits for many ailments.

When I made RSO i used I believe 99% ISO. And, no I basically just used for aabout a week. In that time I didnt seem to notice much honestly, but I've started again in hopes that a longer time of use will show something different... I also don't know if maybe it was just the way I made it, or maybe the strain i used...

I'm sure it will work... I just want it to work a specific way that I'm not sure how to make yet

its still cookin though!! Smells so damn good, almost like a fine chocolate or something I'm debating turning the heat up a little bit.

maybe I am missing something.... Why the fondu pot? I have made the coco oil with a pot on the stove and it works great.

you can use that, but fondue pot lets you get any temperature you want from low to high and its more accurate

Keep us informed on your progress!

If you want benefits of CBD without the side effects of THC, you need a strain with has high CBD and low THC to begin with, period. You're attempting to use a specific temperature process to decarboxylate the CBD but not the THC but to see the true benefits you need CBD rich material to work with in the beginning. Most strains have 15%+ THC levels but much less than 1% CBD, if you're working with a typical strain like that its pretty much going to be a waste trying to meet your needs with it. There are strains out there with CBD levels higher than its THC levels, there are even strains that have 15%+CBD and less than 1% THC. These are the types of strains you need to use to begin with....
