Which is the best type of oil for cooking with weed?

First I'll give you the best options, and if you'd like, you can go on to read a few excerpts explaining why they are your best choices.
 
 
 
 
 You'll want to consider coconut oil or clarified butter for your oil, both for the best bioavailability (ie. the most efficient absorption and delivery), as well as for the best storage where these are very shelf-stable and solid at the average room temperatures.
 
 
These tutorials will help guide you through the process of making medical grade oil.. don't worry, it is EASY!
 
 
 It takes less than 15 minutes of effort on your part, over the course of just two or three simple steps, and the rest of the processing time is spent waiting while your cannabinoids become active and bioavailable.

From a recent post on producing medical grade, highly bioavailable oil:
 
"
Coconut oil (and for most people, lecithin) will provide the most rapid and reliable absorption medium for cannabis glandular material. 
 
 
This is due to the high MCT and saturated fat contents of the coconut oil (and due to the highly bioavailable phosphlipids within the lecithin which, in conjunction with the same caprylic 8-carbon acids found in coconut oil, are now being utilized in the most modern and efficient pharmaceutical/prescription grade medications to aid in and enhance the bioavailability of both water soluble and insoluble chemicals when taken orally, and to enhance even the transdermal absorption of both oil and alcohol based solutions)!
 
 It's also worth mentioning that palm kernel oil is virtually equal in MCT and saturated fat content, not palm oil from the fruit/flesh, but specifically the kernel oil. I don't often bring palm kernel oil up though, because palm kernel oil, especially of the food grade variety, is not only a bit less common and more difficult to find than coconut oil, but many people mistakenly purchase palm flesh oil, which is more readily available and no better than most kitchen oils, and while it's often a red-orange color it can be clarified or bleached, making it appear very similar to the kernel oil they are actually after!
 
 
 Clarified butter is your next best bet, it only contains 1/3 - 1/4 of the MCT content of coconut oil and less saturated fat, but it's MUCH better than other shelf-stable, common, grocery store oils which contain few to no MCTs or sat fats at all. "
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here's some more information on the process that you'll probably find VERY useful!

(From a recent thread titled Glioblastoma Malignant Brain Tumor)
 
 
 
 I was invited to speak at the Cannabis World Summit with Rick Simpson, during the main day of the event, two segments of my presentation focus on decarboxylation and producing the highest quality bioavailable medical grade oil, and my final Summit segment specifically covers producing the highest efficiency transdermal or topical cannabis treatment, for pain, circulation, cancers, and other necessary spot-treatments. A properly made topical can penetrate up to several inches below the surface of the skin
 
 
 Depending on the level of processing, you CAN become stoned or medicated from a topical, especially if high quantities are required! It won't be nearly as profound as if you'd eaten that same amount, but like any other topical or transdermal treatment, you will gradually deliver those chemicals to your bloodstream. To avoid, or control the level of 'recreational side effects' you receive from each application, you'll want to process your oil accordingly.
 Oils that, to recreational users, are considering 'inactive' may be what you're looking for, at least to begin with if avoiding unnecessary sensation and if comfortably building up tolerance levels are both serious concerns. You'll find more details on using the length of your process, to control the outcome, in the tutorials below.
 
 
When making a good edible oil or topical, we're replicating the same liposomal encapsulation process utilized by the pharmaceutical industry, to facilitate the passage and delivery of specific chemicals through our cell walls.
 
 
 We use the specific bioavailable solvents we do, not just to strip the glandular material from the plant matter, but so that they may bond at a molecular level with the individual components of that material, to facilitate their absorption!
 
 

 
 
 Without this process, rather than absorbing this material it remains on the surface of the skin to be wiped away, or when eaten it's passed through the digestive tract largely unabsorbed!
 
 
 
If video tutorials are useful for you, here is the World Summit edition of the CannaPharm information....
 
 
 

( You'll be wanting Vol. 1 - & - Vol. 4. but I'll also include the previews, and the cuttings segment and hash demo..... the extra time-lapsed footage of little seedlings germinating and growing over the course of a day, obscuring the little GrassCity hello sign in a matter of seconds is pretty neat to watch, too. )
 
 
 
 
 
Cannabis World Summit  : BadKittySmiles Headlines!
 
 
 
 
 Both Rick Simpson and I were the headlining 'star speakers' of the Cannabis World Summit, the Summit is an annual, 10-day, free and informative event, available to all members of our community who are interested in cannabis, in its medical applications, and in what the major players in the community are up to.
 
 
  Nine of the ten days featured three or more speakers for each day, Rick and I were asked to share the Big 4/20 day of the Summit alone due to the volume of content we provided the community, and to our track records with treating and even curing cancer, as well as other illnesses, with our medical oils! My medical oil video tutorials, Rick's interview, and his documentaries can be found on Day 5 / 4-20-2013, along with some bonus footage from Rick.

"An edible a day, keeps the doctor away!"


They beat apples!


Or they can include apples...









 
 
I made sixteen of these ChiCanna Cordon Bleu rolls for brunch, with and without shrimp (lol ), New Year's Day!





 
 

 
 







 

 








 
 

 
 

 
 
This entire Thanksgiving Dinner, including the turkey, was fully medicated!
 

 
 
And just when you thought that the liquor flavored "Kopper's Cordials" couldn't possibly get any better...

We turned around, and made them with Golden Dragon.

 As far as dosing goes, that is entirely 100% up to you and your tolerance... determining your flower dose is fairly easy, however much you'd generally vape or smoke in a day, would be roughly your dose, while still keeping in mind that a properly made oil will be more powerful and will produce stronger, and longer lasting effects, than smoking or vaping the same material. So don't over-do it!  
 

 
 Eat half a dose, wait 40 - 60 minutes, and see if you're one of the lucky ones with a particularly good metabolism for rapidly absorbing canna oil, without producing much degradation during the process! People who don't eat edibles regularly can be easily overwhelmed during the onset their first few times, even with only half their daily dose... so take care!
 
 

 
 Hope this helps, good luck, and have fun!!!
