Need help..Cannaoil problem

    I have made cannabis coconut oil a few times but haven’t been able to try it out due to my job. I have had the amazing opportunity to try it finally! Problem is, I feel like it’s not working. I don’t smoke daily. My fiancé claims that he feels the high whenever I make edibles from the oil, but he also smokes constantly. Here’s how I did it...

    26 grams of (really good) weed
    Maybe 1- 1.5 cups of oil

    I decarbed broken down weed on 200 (I have a gas oven that heats from the bottom and it tends to burn things on the bottom so I set it lower) for about 35-40 minutes.

    I used the mason jar method.. put the oil in with the decarbed cannabis.. sat in a pot half full of water on a low setting.. not sure if exact temp of the water but it never boiled. I left it for 2ish hours.. seemed to look like the other times I’d done it. Then I let it run through coffee filter, and squeezed it like crazy to get the rest of the oil. I tested a teaspoon...50 mins later nothing not even a buzz..and it let it sit under my tongue.

    Is there any way to save my poor cannaoil I don’t want to waste that much weed.

    First we need to figure out whether your decarb was accurate.
    At 200 F about 3.5 hours is needed for decarb in air, which is highly temperature sensitive.
    Your air decarb is about 20%.

    Your water bath probably was around 200 F.
    Decarb in oil takes about 2.5 hours @ 240 F, but at 200 F it takes much longer, maybe as long as 10 hours.
    The 2 hr infusion at 200 F also partially decarbed about 20%.

    If these estimates are correct, then your oil is only 40% decarbed righ now.
    To do the remaining 60% decarb in oil would need about 60% of 2.5 hours, which is about 90 min.

    As a test you should bake about 3 doses at 240 F for 90 min, and see how you like it. The truth might be somewhere between 1 and 2 hours, so trial and error might be needed.

    It's also possible that you are under-dosing.
    If 26 g of great 20% herb was used, then
    THC = 0.2*(26,000 mg) = 5200 mg
    Volume = 1 cup = 237 mL
    Potency = (5200 mg thc)/(237 mL) = 22 mg/mL

    1 tsp = 5 mL*(22 mg thc/mL) = 110 mg thc

    This would knock most people out.
    But if decarb was only 40% then you might've only gotten around 40 mg.
    If the herb is only excellent 15% thc, then you got closer to 30 mg.
    Different people have different inate tolerances, and yours might be high.

    Are you saying it worked, you just didn't give it enough time?

    My metabolism seems to be crazy and it can take a full three hours before I feel an edible. Glad to hear it worked.
