In addition to that ‘yummsicle’ organic portion, infusing cannabis with a coconut oil is a fantastic base that can be used for several smoothie recipes. For medicinal purposes, marijuana paired with coconut oil allows for a method with extra combat power.
Scoop out 1 cup of coconut oil into a crock pot and set the time for 6 hours. While the coconut oil is melting in the crock pot, bake 20 grams of full buds on a cookie sheet in the oven for 15 minutes at 200 degrees. Take the herb out of the oven then place in a blender. Using a cheese cloth, place the ground herb and fold the sides making sure the package is tightly wrapped. Tie the cheesecloth and place inside the coconut oil mixture. After the oil has cooked for 4 hours, turn the crockpot off and let it rest for up to 1 hour.
Strain by squeezing all the liquid out of the cheesecloth. Pour the liquid into a mason jar and use a few scoops with all your fabulous cannabis smoothie recipes.
