Whether you use it for skincare, cooking, or relaxation, the possibilities are almost limitless. In this guide, you will learn why coconut oil is the perfect carrier, how to make your own cannabis coconut oil, and how to use it correctly.
Why is Coconut Oil Ideal for Cannabis?
Cannabinoids like THC and CBD are fat-soluble – they need a good carrier oil to be optimally absorbed by the body. Coconut oil is particularly well-suited for this:
- Over 80% saturated fatty acids for maximum absorption
- Long shelf life – does not go rancid quickly
- Antibacterial – ideal for skincare
- Versatile – for kitchen, care, or massage

1. Decarboxylate: Heat cannabis in the oven at 110°C for 30–40 minutes to activate the active ingredients.
