The Official CannaOil Thread!

[splish6]

A few questions about this stuff:


When swim grinds up his weed and puts it in the oil, how long should he let it sit? What percentage of cannabinoids will be extracted after 2 days? 3? 7?

Do olive oil and vegetable oil work the same?

When making CannaButter, swim thought one of the things heating it does was "activate" the cannabinoids. Won't this not happen if swim's just letting CannaOil sit without heat?

Can swim make CannaOil by just using the CannaButter method (mixing oil, water, and weed in a pot and heating)?

You don't need heat to "activate" cannabiniods, heat only speeds the process of extraction and is not actually responsible for the transfer itself, therefore your cannabiniods will be extracted into the oil as it sits for a week or 3 at room temperature.

Doesn't that mean swiy should be able to eat marijuana straight? I thought that didn't work.

Trust us, it does work.

Something I posted recently on another forum, pretty much what Each Hit said.

People get confused because it is constantly spouted that fat must be used otherwise your stomach won't absorb the cannaboids, this is completly untrue. Your body is easily able to break down your bud/hash and extract the cannaboids using stomach acid (not fat's from food previously eaten) then transfer it through your stomach lining into your blood. The reason that this is not very effective is because of the rate at which these processes happen, when you make your body do all the work by itself you will only recieve a slow trickle of cannaboids entering your blood stream but you will still recieve them regardless or administration.

Why use fat or alcohol then?

Think of these as a pre-digestion stage, cannaboids bind with alcohol and fats extreamly easily, so easy in fact that you don't have to use heat for the transition to take place, heat only speeds the process up (if you were to leave your bud/hash in a glass of milk or your youghurt for 24hours the fats would constantly be at work extracting the cannaboids, when you go back to your choosen fat it's ready for you to get high off, no heat required). Now your cannaboids have been transfered into your fat or alcohol of choice thus eliminating a large and slow portion of work your stomach would have had to do. Your stomach won't have to do much at all to digest your fat or alcohol, this means you will have a rapid release of cannaboids into your blood stream and at a higher volume due to the concentrated solution. That is the reason fats and alcohol are used, it is simply more efficient and provides a more powerful high while using less cannabis (in comparison to what you'd need to eat straight up). Hope that's cleared it up abit.

i think eating plain plant material has an effect, but a diminished one (or maybe lower intensity for longer duration) in comparison to extracting through butter, oil, or alcohol. i am basing that on the fact that the dissolved thc seems like it would easier for the body to absorb than the thc in buds. swim could be wrong.

Swim once ate a large hunk of morrocan hash very hastily to avoid detection by some curious constables who happened upon our happy encounter.This was in the 1970's.Swim was still feeling the pleasant effects a week later.It took a while to start but when it did swim was well out of the game but seeming never happier.
Drinking would bring back the effect.Water would do it and one pint seemed to have the effect of three.
To achieve similar effects these days swim unites weed with the best dark chocolate and golden syrup in a bowl suspended over boiling water,letting this concoction bubble for 15 mins.During this time you should stir continously.You will notice a magnificent aroma fill the air.
Grease out ice cube trays.Pour and let set at room temp.Then in the fridge.
Don't forget to lick out the bowl.
Fare well and may your God go with you.

Splish asks Qs:

"When swim grinds up his weed and puts it in the oil, how long should he let it sit? What percentage of cannabinoids will be extracted after 2 days? 3? 7?"

I pretty-much answered this in your other Thread.
I said: Let it sit a day or 2.
2 days will Extract almost all of the THC and Cannabinoids.
If you want 100%, just let it soak a Month or 2.


"Do olive oil and vegetable oil work the same?"

Oil is Oil. There are slight variations in the THC absorption rate, but so what?
And Olive oil is vegetable oil.

"When making CannaButter, swim thought one of the things heating it does was "activate" the cannabinoids. Won't this not happen if swim's just letting CannaOil sit without heat?"

There's no such thing as "activating" the Cannabinoids.
And Sky-Walker said the Truth about absorption timing.


"Can swim make CannaOil by just using the CannaButter method (mixing oil, water, and weed in a pot and heating)?"

As I answered in your other Thread ... Sure.
______________________________

Bonus Edit.
Why would you want to make your CannaOil with the Oil/water?
In your other Thread you discussed being busted for doing it that way.
Truly, you know that when something looks suspicious, it's better to not do it that way.

So the fat being saturated, unsaturated, trans, or whatever, doesn't matter? It's all just fat, right?

Huh?

Did you happen to read my Post #7?
"Oil is Oil. There are slight variations in the THC absorption rate, but so what?"

It seems that you are not reading my answers.
