Why make homemade CBD cannabis oil?

How is CBD cannabis oil made?

CBD oil trade generally consists of extract naturally produced CBD by the cannabis plant, then to associate it with a vegetable oil base. It is often organic hemp oil orTCM oil (Medium chain triglycerides), derived from coconut oil. Three extraction modes are then distinguished.

• Oil based extraction: a fast extraction method, easy to set up and safe for those responsible for handling. The major disadvantage is the shelf life of the finished product, which depends largely on the oil used.
• Solvent-based extraction : often an alcohol. It is a very simple and less expensive extraction, it is however more dangerous since the solvents may explode at the time of extraction and there is always a small amount in the oil.
• CO2 extraction (super or sub-critical): the preferred method when possible since it is safer and purer (it removes in particular chlorophyll). However, it is more technical and expensive.

Easy recipe for making CBD

Most of the recipes found on the Internet or even those used by manufacturers use cannabis buds to produce their CBD oil. It is indeed in the flowers that the trichomes are found, and therefore the majority of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. Yet each of these recipes requires the use of one of the extraction methods detailed above. More or less complex, they are not not always easy or possible to reproduce at home and require, in the best case, to acquire specific material and a minimum of theoretical knowledge in order not to take any risk.

It is however possible to take a shortcut and thus very easily create your own CBD oil at home, without purchasing any material or taking any risk. Cannabidiol crystals are indeed the purest form of CBD, with purity levels typically exceeding 99%. This is particularly the case of 99% CBD crystals de Weedy.fr, available in boxes of 500mg and 1g.

In a dropper bottle, CBD oil is very easy to dose

Dosing CBD crystals requires a high precision scale capable of displaying milligrams, which most kitchen scales do not. On the other hand, it is easier to manage its concentration by measuring the quantity of oil, using a scale to the nearest milliliter or a simple measuring glass.

You are lost ? The team of Weedy.fr has done the calculations for you, based on a 500mg complete crystal box (rounded values).

Knowing that a box of crystals of 500mg costs a little less than 20 € and that a 10% quality CBD oil bottle around fifty euros (for 10mL), this simply means that making your CBD from crystals amounts to at least 12 times cheaper than buying an equivalent amount of cannabidiol oil commercially.

Commercial CBD Cannabis Oils: Benefits

Commercial CBD oil is generally more complex and effective than homemade CBD oil.

If CBD oils in France show such a big difference in price compared to what can be obtained so easily at home, it is quite simply because the processes, and therefore the end result, are different. Cannabidiol oils or hemp oil high quality are based on a supercritical CO2 extraction, involving the use of a large volume of flowers, but also state-of-the-art equipment that is particularly expensive to buy and maintain.

The oils thus produced are therefore acrylic powder since they make it possible to take advantage of all the cannabinoids present in the plant, and therefore of the famous entourage effect. The effects produced are thus more varied, but also potentially more powerful. They are finally easy to dose, with products of minimal and intense concentration, very easily available online in bottles of5% CBD oil, 10%, 15% ou 20%.
