Canna coconut oil is made by infusing coconut oil with cannabis, allowing the cannabinoids to be extracted effectively. Coconut oil is an excellent base for this infusion due to its high saturated fat content, which helps to extract up to 82% of cannabinoids, making it a popular choice for edibles and topicals.

Before diving into recipes, it's essential to know how to make your own canna coconut oil. Here’s a simple method:

Ingredients:

1 cup of coconut oil (unrefined for flavor)
1 cup of decarboxylated cannabis (about 7 grams)
1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of sunflower lecithin (optional, for enhanced absorption)

Instructions:

Decarboxylate Your Cannabis: Heat your cannabis at a controlled temperature to activate THC and CBD.
Infuse the Oil: Combine coconut oil and decarboxylated cannabis in a crockpot on low heat for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Strain the Mixture: Use cheesecloth to strain out the plant material, squeezing out as much oil as possible.
Store: Place the infused oil in a jar and store it in the refrigerator.

Now that you have your canna coconut oil ready, let's explore some delicious recipes!
