CG420za Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Good morning fam. As the title suggests, I'd like to know if this can be done? Basically this is what i wanna do. Then make the end product into CBD oil. Basically a pure extract. Any ideas? I spoke to @Toby, and he suggested using coconut oil. Any input would be greatly appreciated. @Green Leaf Organics@SkunkPharm What say you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Leaf Organics Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 What is your end goal? What are you wanting out of if? Why do you want pure cbd ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG420za Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) I wanna make a CBD oil for my mom. Everywhere I've read is that RSO contains toxins, so i'm looking at avoid all chem solvents on the whole. Not necessarily a pure cbd oil, but an oil without the baddies. A clean product.

highchome Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 @CG420za is cannabutter an option for you? It is very easy to make and requires no solvents at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Leaf Organics Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Honestly if I was you I would just use coconut oil , it's the easiest . Solvents would give you the cleaner stronger extract though but you need equipment to work with solvents properly . Coconut oil wont extract everything though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Leaf Organics Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Also dont heat your coconut oil over 40 degrees otherwise you will be destroying canabanoids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really looking to cook/bake with it. I've made cannabutter a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say it won't extract everything, could you elaborate? Isn't all the stuff we looking for in the trichomes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Leaf Organics Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 What I mean is you will only recover about 70% of the canabanoids as not everything will dissolves in the coconut oil as the coconut oil will only hold so much , you could add a lot of coconut oil to flower but then you will end up with a weak extract . Take the left over flowers from the coconut oil extraction and make cannabutter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 If you know where you Ethanol comes from you will know that you oils is clean. I have seen how my ethanol is made so I am happy with the fact that it has almost no impurities. I have watched the guy make gin with the rest of the ethanol and we drank it. What is the difference between drinking the ethanol and using it to make oil? Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Leaf Organics Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Agreed, dont be scared of solvents just use them properly and use the correct solvent 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG420za Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 The problem I have with using Ethanol is that i don't have the lab equipment or know how to extract it without killing myself in the process. And TBH, I don't wanna give my mom anything i wouldn't consume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG420za Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Like I've been doing alot of research on RSO and he uses ISO. ISO isn't fit for human consumption. We tried alchohol in the magic butter machine and that shit was vile. Took my breath away and made my stomach burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Agreed, dont be scared of solvents just use them properly and use the correct solvent Agreed if you do the process correctly you should have almost 0 solvent. Also if you make a pure extract it is easier to dose the patient. Just make sure you don't make to many capsules like I did.Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highchome Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 FWIW this is what I ended up doing with the cannabutter for dosing I used different size blister packs and filled with the butter and stored in the fridge. It is then easy to work out what dosage you want. Taken under the tongue to get effects faster, though we tend to use it like this with a low dosage for overall effect. I think you may be after something a bit different, but just maybe this helps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoukie Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Now that everyone commented with good ideas how about just going the decarb, grind, put in clear capsules route? I know this route you will end up with plant matter mixed with CBD / THC stuffed in a clear capsule, I understand the dosage will be low and no way of really knowing what mg of CBD you getting in... Any other reasons I missed why this is a bad idea? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other reasons I missed why this is a bad idea? Because people generally want the purer extract without the plant matter, some people use the oil sublingual as well.

As far as I understand, our bodies (liver) will process cannabinoids better if they are dissolved in fat (they are fat soluble luckily ). So using an fat/oil means you should in theory get more of the THC & CBD absorbed. I've got no idea how much difference it actually makes, but personally I'd rather go that route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
