Medicated coconut oil – why it works.

As you probably already know, the goodness we want from the marijuana is very fat soluble meaning than we need something fatty to put it in. Thankfully, coconut oil is generously packed with healthy saturated fats.

These fats regulate cholesterol by increasing good cholesterol (HDL – High density lipoprotein) and converting bad cholesterol (LDL – Low density lipoprotein) into HDL which is one of the top ingredients needed to maintain a healthy heart. They also make the perfect adhesive for our cannabinoids.

What you want your medicated coconut oil to do for you will decide which kind of strain you should use to make it. The different cannabinoids have different health benefits; THC should be used for pain, nausea, glaucoma, sleep disorders and lack of appetite among many others. CBD should be used if you’re suffering from pain, anxiety, tumors, psychosis or seizures, also among many others. CBC for anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and anti depressant effects. CBN has antibiotic and sedative effects. There are many, many more cannabinoids than it would be possible to list. Generally, you should choose a strain high in THC or CBD, and not a balanced strain. Unless, of course, you’re using hybrid plants, where it is possible to get more potent traits of both.

How to make medicated cannabis oil.

Before you actually start the process of making your medicated coconut oil, you will need to decarboxylate your marijuana. The process is simple and will ensure that you get what you want from the plant. Once you have your decarboxylated marijuana you can store it in a jar for use at any time.

To infuse the marijuana into the coconut oil is also a simple process. For this recipe we will be using 1 gram of decarbed marijuana for every 1 ounce of virgin coconut oil. If you decarbed more than you need, grab another jar and throw some of the weed into it, and then add the coconut oil.

Now, all you need to do is seal the lid of the jar, and place it in a pan full of room temperature water. Heat the water over a low heat for 60 minutes, and make sure not to let the water come to a boil or the oil will overheat, which isn’t good.

Next, after letting it cool a while, grab some cheesecloth and pour the mixture through it into another jar, making sure you get every drop of oil out of the solids.

That’s it! The process is finished and you can now use your medicated coconut oil for whatever you wish. You can eat it like it is, add it to other recipes you like. It’s even usable as a lotion. You can also cook with it, but make sure the temperature doesn’t exceed 315°F or you won’t be too happy with the results.
