Step-by-Step Guide to Making Cannabis Infused Olive Oil

Decarboxylation Process First, let's start with the decarboxylation process, which is crucial for activating the cannabinoids in your cannabis. Here's how to do it:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 240-250 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it reaches at least 240 degrees for optimal activation.
2. Prepare Your Cannabis: Break down the cannabis by hand or using a grinder and place it into one of the Mason Pot jars.
3. Set Up the Mason Pot: Place the lid with the silicone ring on the jar, secure it with the band, and insert the thermometer probe until it touches the bottom.
4. Bake: Place the jar on the center rack of the oven (you can use a baking sheet if you have one). Close the oven door and make sure the thermometer wire is positioned correctly.
5. Monitor and Adjust: Set a timer for 40 minutes and monitor the temperature. It should reach 240 degrees Fahrenheit. If it goes beyond, adjust the oven setting as needed.
6. Residual Heat Decarboxylation: Once the timer goes off, turn off the oven and let the jar sit inside to utilize the residual heat. This helps in further activation without overheating the cannabis.

Infusion Process

After decarboxylation, it's time to infuse the olive oil:

1. Add Olive Oil: Pour one-third cup of olive oil into the jar with the decarboxylated cannabis. Give it a gentle swirl to ensure all the cannabis is submerged and there are no dry spots.
2. Prepare Water Bath: Set up a water bath on your stovetop. You can adjust the water level as needed, but it should be enough to allow the jar to sit comfortably without tipping over.
3. Double Boiler Setup: Place the Mason Pot jar in the water bath. This setup acts like a double boiler, allowing for gentle and even heating.
4. Temperature Control: Set the thermometer to 220 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure the temperature does not exceed this point. Ideally, maintain the infusion temperature between 190 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Start the Timer: Begin a 60-minute timer once the temperature reaches 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Adjust the stove setting to maintain the temperature within the desired range.
6. Monitor and Adjust: Check the temperature periodically. If it drops, you may need to increase the heat slightly. After about 15 minutes, the temperature should stabilize around 190 degrees Fahrenheit.
7. Add More Water If Needed: If the water level decreases, add more to ensure the jar remains properly submerged. This helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the infusion process.
8. Final Hour: After the initial hour, give the mixture a gentle swirl to mix and then let it continue to infuse for another hour.
9. Cool Down: Once the total infusion time of two hours is up, turn off the heat and let the jar sit in the water until the temperature naturally decreases.

Extraction Process

To finalize your cannabis-infused olive oil, follow these steps to extract the oil:

1. Remove the Jar: Carefully take the jar out of the water bath and unscrew the lid.
2. Press the Cannabis: Place the cannabis inside the Mason Pot press. Use the press to squeeze out the infused oil, ensuring you extract as much as possible.
3. Second Press: Sometimes, flipping the press and giving it another squeeze can help extract more oil.
4. Strain the Oil: Pour the oil through the Mason Pot fine strainer to remove any small particles. This step ensures your infused oil is smooth and clean.
5. Store the Oil: Transfer the strained oil into a clean jar or bottle for storage. Make sure it's sealed tightly and stored in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency.
