Canna Oil - Potency differences from extraction methods

 
 
Of course, simmering in a pan can destroy a good portion of potency in a matter of minutes when compared to a lower, slower cook with a more gentle heat source. A better heat source gives you much more control over the outcome, especially where different processing lengths play such a huge role in the sensations your finished oil will provide, for instance too little processing won't even produce a bioavailable solution or may produce effects too subtle and cerebral, while processing for a little too long can give you an oil that puts you to sleep before you can even enjoy the effects, due to the amounts of CBN produced during degradation.
 
 Even different oil sources and edible solvents can produce very different effects, and will provide either more or less efficient absorption, which is why the medical cannabis industry prefers using coconut oil and clarified butter, specifically for their MCT (and for extraction purposes, their saturated fat) contents.
 
 
 The best canna oil, is made by following the very same principles used by the pharmaceutical industry, to facilitate the absorption of other difficult to absorb chemicals, or medications.
 
 
 Specific components that comprise the array of fatty acids found in coconut oil (and to a lesser extent, in butter) have been studied extensively, along with the phospholipids in lecithin, and as a result they are now used by the modern pharmaceutical industry in order to enhance the bioavailability of many available medications. The same components are now even being used to enhance intravenous delivery and circulation of chemicals. A side note, the same techniques and ingredients are also used to promote the absorption of even simple vitamin supplements.
 
 
 
\tBest extraction method for low grade material?  
\tMost potent edible?  
\tWhat's the best way to use this Kief? Only have 1 teaspoon... 
 
And this should help, too.....

If the heat is kept low, around 200F, then generally the longer the better. If it's too high, it'll burn the cannabinoids, thus ruining the potency.
 
As far as crockpot vs double boiler vs oven etc, they do essentially the same job, so long as the heat is the same across the methods. The primary difference is ease of heat control. Using a pan on very low heat, for example, can be harder to control than an oven.
 
Also, I don't know about freezing being able to remove flavor (mine tastes the same before and after). It particularly helps disrupt the cellular walls of cannabinoids, which further extends extraction. So, freezing helps improve potency as well.
