How to make CBD Oil in 3 simple steps – Using carrier oil as a solvent

Posted by River Supply on December 17th, 2020

There is an overwhelming abundance of retailers offering CBD oil on the open market. Still, it can be not easy to decide the quality and purity of the item you're buying unless you're buying from a trusted brand like River Supply that provides good products like DIY-Ejuice Kit.

In case you select the route of making your DIY at home, keep in mind that THC is the cannabinoid capable of the psychoactive "high" of marijuana.

The method we'll discuss here extracts cannabinoids alluded to as CBD through a simple process that requires little expertise and relatively little time spent standing over a pot.

There is another, more complicated method of using alcohol as a solvent, but we feel that merits aren't for everybody. Here is a simple three-step guide, focus on a much more available method with fewer safety necessities: infusing CBD into the carrier oil.

1- Choosing your Ingredients

Using carrier oil as your solvent—use MCT or coconut oils for increased bioavailability, but you may much more easily use olive oil, hempseed oil—heck, you may even use butter. Eventually, it's up to you and how you want to use the finished product. You can extract CBD into the oil using heat and, after that, strain off the plant matter, clearing out CBD-enriched oil behind.

The resulting oil is much simpler to work with than what the alcohol method yields, and there are fewer safety measures you need to take all through the process.

2- Decarboxylation

Once you have ground your herb finely, the next step is to decarboxylase the flower, which changes the CBD into its active form. To do decarboxylation, you can even use a cookie sheet in an oven at 225 degrees for about one hour to maximum conversion. After that, remove the flower and wait until it cools down. 

3- Extraction

Mix your chosen carrier oil and decarb flower into the top of a double boiler and place it on simmering water. Two hours is sufficient for the CBD to dissolve into the oil. Not necessary to monitor the oil closely. You can check and stir every 20minutes. When it's deep brownish-green, you will know it's ready.

Summarize

You can skip the guesswork by making CBD yourself, within the comfort and privacy of your own home, with no extraordinary equipment or toxic chemicals, by purchasing the DIY CBD Kit from River Supply.

This way, you control each step of the process, from selecting the strain to choosing the dosage concentration to the real extraction itself. You know what you're getting within the finished item and can alter your materials or methods according to your particular needs.
