Ways to Manufacture CBD Oil
Once you have chosen the flower with which you want to make your oil, you need to purchase other ingredients depending on the extraction method you prefer.
Make CBD oil with ethyl alcohol.
For this procedure, you will need:
- 30g of CBD Flowers.
- Food grade ethyl alcohol.
- The first thing you are going to do is eliminate all traces of carbon dioxide from the flower, this process is called Decarboxylation. You must crush the entire bud and place it spread out on an aluminum plate and bake in the oven at 110ºC for 1 hour.
- Then, you proceed to place the flowers in a cup, and you will add enough food grade ethyl alcohol until it completely covers all the flowers.
- With a paddle or wooden spoon, you are going to stir for 10 minutes. This helps speed up the process.
- Once the alcohol turns green, with a filter or fine strainer, you will separate the alcohol from the flowers. If necessary, you must strain several times so that no residue remains in the liquid.
- Perform all these steps again as many times as necessary, in order to fully extract all the CBD from the flowers. When the alcohol no longer turns green, you will know that you can no longer extract anything from those flowers.
- Now you are going to perform a “Marie Bath”, which consists of filling a pot with two or three fingers of water and placing another pot or an aluminum cup on top of it, in such a way that the heat and steam coming from the water, do the cooking work. You are going to pour the alcohol extract into the pot above and leave it on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes.
CAUTION: It is necessary to be especially careful with this last step, since alcohol is highly flammable, we recommend turning off the stove several times during the time the extract is cooking, this reduces the chances of causing a fire. You can also do this extraction process outdoors.
- Finally, the consistency that the extract should have is thick, store it while it is hot, and if possible, use containers or syringes according to the dosage you need.
Make CBD Oil with olive oil or coconut oil
To make this oil, you will need:
- 30g of CBD Flowers
- 500ml of olive oil. (It can also be coconut, almond or any other vegetable oil).
- First we are going to grind the hemp flowers, spread them on a baking sheet or aluminum tray, put them in the oven for 1 hour at 110ºC, in order to obtain decarboxylation. The flowers will turn slightly brown and have a crunchy consistency.
- In “Marie Bath” you are going to place a pot or cup with the hemp flowers and the oil on top of another with two or three fingers of water, put it on low heat for 2 to 3 hours and constantly check that it does not exceed 150ºC, If necessary, you can turn off the kitchen for a few moments to lower the temperature a little and prevent the evaporation of the terpenes.
- Once the mixture has a color between green and brown, with a filter or sieve, preferably metal, you will filter the oil in order to separate it from the flowers. Store in an airtight container.
Note
The alcohol extraction method will provide you with a more powerful CBD extract than that obtained through the use of vegetable oils. However, if you are concerned about the chemicals that may be left in the extract through the alcohol, it is more advisable to use the vegetable oil to make CBD-rich oil.
On the other hand, you can use this oil to prepare meals, which will facilitate the way of consumption, since the flavor is disguised with the flavors of the food.
Differences between home and professional extraction methods.
Homemade extraction methods, despite offering the ease of making the quantity you want, will never have the same quality as a CBD oil made by a specialized laboratory.
In laboratories they usually use methods that allow us to know and know the exact concentrations of each cannabis component that may be in an oil, thus avoiding higher levels of psychotropic compounds than the CBD itself.
Another factor in favor of laboratories is the fact that the terpenes are not going to evaporate, since they are controlled processes, while, with home extraction, you run the risk of losing them.
Although CBD oils manufactured by laboratories are more expensive compared to those you can make at home, they are safer, since when making your own CBD extract, you run risks such as inflammation, higher concentrations of THC, loss of terpenes and more.
As a conclusion and recommendation, we will tell you that the best option is to buy a certified CBD oil, however, if you want to live the experience of making your own oil rich in CBD, purchase any of the flowers available at HispaCBD and prepare to make each of the steps explained for the extraction of Cannabidiol oil.
