A wide range of ailments can be treated with cannabinoids. Coconut oil aids in cannabinoid absorption while also providing some benefits of its own. Combine these together and you will have a long lasting treatment that is safe and effective.

To make these capsules first requires decarboxylation of the cannabis material. This can be done in a temperature calibrated oven at 170 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. Next place the cannabis in a heated dish of coconut oil overnight and then filter though cheesecloth.

For more effective dosage control, a CO2 or hydrocarbon extraction can be performed along with full decarboxylation by heating the cannabis oil at 170 degress F for 15-20 minutes or until the oil is no longer bubbling.

When dissolving in coconut oil keep track how much of each you add so that a ratio of cannabis oil to coconut oil can be calculated based on your preferred dosage. For example a ratio of 10:1 would be 100 ml coconut oil to 10 grams of cannabis oil which would equal a dosage of 0.1 gram per ml.

Next simply add the oil mixture into capsules while it is still warm and in liquid form. There are several inventions available to speed up this process, however dispensing the oil into capsules with a dropper will suffice if you have the time and patience.
