Pick Your Oil. Choose a base oil with a flavor that makes sense for your plans. If you plan to use your cannabis oil in baked goods, for example, you’ll probably want to opt for a more neutral-tasting oil like canola or vegetable. Certain dishes might benefit from alternatives, like olive or peanut oil, with a stronger taste.
Measure and Add Ingredients. Grind down enough cannabis to fill one cup using either a grinder or your hands. Then, add one cup of oil and your cup of ground cannabis to a saucepan or pot. Mix together.
Let it Simmer. Over a low heat, let your oil and bud simmer for around two to three hours. Make sure the oil’s temperature stays between 160-200ºF.
Strain and Store. Place a mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a jar. Next, take your finished oil and pour it through. Discard any leftover plant material.
