How To Make Rosin Chip Coconut Oil
If you’re like me and press your own wax, you probably have a lot of pressed rosin chips laying around. Did you know that they are still full of THC?
This guy, John Berfelo, actually lab tested rosin chips to see just how much THC is leftover.
But how to utilize that leftover THC in the rosin chips?
My personal favorite way is to infuse them with coconut oil. It’s effective, cheap, easy, and versatile.
You can use substitute coconut oil for butter in most recipes.
Coconut oil is also a superior fat for infusing marijuana because it is one of the highest concentration of saturated fats of any cooking oil. This fat is beneficial because it retains cannabinoids.
More fat = more cannabinoids = a stronger and better high!
What You Need To Make Rosin Chip Coconut Oil
Rosin Chips (I use about 20 grams, but I like mine really strong. You may want to use half that.)
Coconut Butter
French Press Coffee Pot (This is the easiest thing to use. If you don’t have one/don’t want to buy one you will need to make a double boiler, use a strainer and a cheesecloth. Trust me when I say you should just use a french press)
Medium Large Cooking Pot
Mason Jar or Other Container To Store Coconut Oil In
How To Make Rosin Chip Coconut Oil
Weigh out your rosin chips so you know exactly how much is going to go in your oil. I used 20.2 grams of some marijuana that has about 15% THC (before it was pressed). You may want to use as little as 10 grams, depending on how potent you want yours to be.
Place the rosin chips in a clean french press with half a cup of coconut oil.
Put the lid on the french press and place it in a pot of simmering water. (Simmering, not boiling. If the water is boiling you will be cooking off the precious THC.)
Simmer for 2-4 hours. Make sure to check the water line every 20-30 minutes. It should remain above the rosin chips and coconut oil. Add more as necessary.
After simmering for a few hours, the rosin chip coconut oil is ready to be jarred. I pour mine into these small mason jars, then seal them and place in the fridge for a few hours.
After it has solidified, your rosin chip coconut oil will look something like this. You are now ready to make some edibles and medicate!
Do the rosin chips need to be decarbed?
I don’t decarb them as they have already been at least partially decarbed when pressing.
Exactly, partially. I don’t feel like my 300 f, 6 second press would decarb them enough.
Yeah, I press mine for 60 seconds. I would decarb them if I were you.
Thanks. Nice post by the way, never would have known to use a french press.
Thank you for posting! What is a typical dose of the infused coconut oil for you? 1 tbsp? Any ballpark for how many milligrams of THC per tbsp? Thanks!
I just repeated this process except I used 60 grams or rosin chips. the chips from very good bud pressed with a hair straightener and 200lbs of pressure. i also let it sit for 6 hours instead of 2-4. 1 cup of oil instead of a half. anyway I go to try it out and put about 3 tablespoons in some yogurt and an hour went by, then 2, 3, finally after 4 hours I knew something was wrong. i felt absolutely nothing. i do have a high tolerance and may take 5 to 6 dabs a day but please… i put 60 grams of chips in there and there wasn’t even that much pressure on them when pressed. what could have gone wrong? after decarbing the bud was brown but I didn’t burnt it. any ideas?
