Make a Medical Marijuana Oil

Medical marijuana oil can provide relief to people suffering from medical issues, such as epilepsy,
cancer, chronic joint pain, and PTSD. If you have medical marijuana but you would prefer oil, you
can create medical marijuana oil yourself, as long as marijuana is legal in your area.

1
Select a workspace. When making your own medical marijuana oil, you need to work
in a safe, open environment.
 The space should be well ventilated—open all available windows and or use fans to
promote air flow.
 The space should also be equipped with a fire extinguisher—the alcohol you will be
using as a solvent is extremely flammable, as is the oil itself.[1]
 If you intend to use a stovetop, the space needs a gas or electric range.
 If you intend to use a rice cooker, the space needs electricity.[2]

2
Retrieve the materials. To produce cannabis oil, you need medical marijuana and a
solvent.
 Procure 1 ounce of medical marijuana.[3] If needed, you may substitute 2 to 3 ounces of
medical marijuana trim.[4]

3
Gather your tools. Over the course of this process, you will need a variety of tools.
These include:
 1 medium sized glass or ceramic mixing bowl. Do not use a plastic mixing bowl.
 1 large wooden spoon
 A straining device. You may choose from the following: muslin bag, grain
steeping bag, clean pair of stockings, cheese cloth, chai tea filter, or coffee filter
paired with a mesh strainer.
 1 container to catch the liquid, such as a 2-quart mixing cup
 1 silicon spatula[6]
 1 double boiler (for range) or rice cooker and candle warmer[7]
 Plastic oral syringes[8]
 The high proof alcohol will burn off in the boiling process, leaving you with a very pure
and potent medical marijuana oil. Do not use alcohol that is not intended for human
consumption, such as rubbing alcohol.[5]
