In this guide we will explain everything you need to know in a simple and straightforward way. Our goal is to enable you to make your own cannabis oil at home, taking advantage of all its benefits without unnecessary complications.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Properties and Benefits of Cannabis Oil<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You may be wondering: what properties does cannabis oil have? Well, various possible benefits are attributed to this oil because of its active components, such as CBD and THC, although many are still being researched and they are no substitute for medical advice. Here we list <a href=\"https:\/\/terpybcn.com\/en\/cannabis-for-hair-find-out-how-it-helps\/\">some of the most frequently cited<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\" class=\"translation-block\"><b>Analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Its possible role in reducing pain and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis and chronic pain is being researched.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\" class=\"translation-block\"><b>Reduced anxiety and stress<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Some preliminary studies suggest that CBD could help reduce anxiety and stress, although THC can increase anxiety in some people.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\" class=\"translation-block\"><b>Better sleep<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Some people say they sleep better with it, although the evidence is limited and it is no substitute for insomnia treatment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\" class=\"translation-block\"><b>Multiple sclerosis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: there is a cannabinoid-based medicine authorised to treat spasticity in some patients, always on prescription and under medical supervision; a homemade oil is no substitute for it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\" class=\"translation-block\"><b>Skin benefits<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Its topical use for problems such as acne or psoriasis is being researched; consult a dermatologist before using it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Materials Needed<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get started, make sure you have the following materials on hand:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\" class=\"translation-block\"><b>Cannabis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: This can be cannabis flower or CBD concentrate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\" class=\"translation-block\"><b>Carrier oil<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Choose between coconut oil, olive oil or another high-quality vegetable oil.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\" class=\"translation-block\"><b>Utensils<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: You will need a pot, a thermometer, a strainer and a glass jar to store the oil.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Cannabis preparation<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before you start, it\u2019s crucial to prepare the cannabis properly through a process called decarboxylation. This process activates the chemical substances in the cannabis plant, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/terpybcn.com\/en\/thc-and-cbd-know-the-differences\/\">tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD)<\/a>, transforming the inactive acidic compounds into their active forms. Decarboxylation is essential to ensure that the cannabis oil has the desired therapeutic effects and can deliver all its medicinal benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Decarboxylation: What it is and how to do it<\/b><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preheat your oven to 115\u00b0C.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chop the cannabis into small pieces and place on a baking sheet.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even decarboxylation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><b>Extraction Methods<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several ways to extract cannabis oil. Here are two popular methods:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pot method<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add the decarboxylated cannabis and the carrier oil to a pot.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cook over low heat, keeping the temperature between 60-85\u00b0C, for 2-3 hours. Use a thermometer to check the temperature.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stir occasionally to prevent burning.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Bain Marie Method<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fill a large pot with water and heat it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place a smaller container with the cannabis and oil inside the large pot, making sure that the water does not enter the smaller container.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simmer for 2-3 hours, maintaining a constant temperature.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><b>Filtering and Storage<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the oil has absorbed the medicinal properties of cannabis, it is time to filter and store it. This step is crucial to obtain a clean and pure product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a strainer or gauze to strain the oil into a glass jar. Be sure to squeeze all the oil out of the cannabis, making the most of every drop. If necessary, repeat the filtering process to remove any plant residue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Store the oil in a dark, cool place to maintain its freshness and potency. A kitchen cupboard or pantry is usually ideal, as exposure to light and heat can degrade the quality of the oil over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Dosage and Use<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cannabis oil can be used in various ways and its effect varies from person to person: always start small and consult a professional.

Here are some warnings and considerations:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\" class=\"translation-block\"><b>Side effects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: These may include drowsiness, dry mouth and changes in appetite.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\" class=\"translation-block\"><b>Legality<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Check the local laws on cannabis use.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\" class=\"translation-block\"><b>Safety<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Keep the oil out of the reach of children and pets.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And there you have it!
