Beware of crystalline CBD ....that's all I'm going to say about it

Does anyone have a recipe for mixing CBD crystals, coconut oil, and soy lecithin?? I want to be sure that the CBD gets evenly distributed throughout the oil. The CBD crystals are from plants grown by Kentucky University, and CO2 extracted by the company selling it, Bluebird.

Prefer the sunflower lecithin over soy but my recipe would come out to the approx ratio:

6 gram CBD crystals:1 cup coconut oil: 1tbsp lecithin powder.

If I was doing this with flowers I'd still make sure to decarboxylate them but I don't bother to when I'm using extracts and concentrates cause it doesn't seem to make nearly as much of a difference.

It is pre decarbed at lab. Your recipe gives a perfect 25 mg per ml. I will have 5 grams, so 21 mg per ml.

The syringe I bought was 100 mg per ml, so might go with half cup.

What kind of coconut oil should be used??? I went to store and most was a solid, like ghee or lard. Found one bottle that was liquid. Want to make sure I am using the right stuff.

In my experience, cbd only medicine is good for anti inflammatory purposes. A mix of thc along with cbd will help elevate the dopamine levels to combat the pain.

Any brand of coconut oil can be solid or liquid, just depends on the temperature it's being stored at. It will be solid in the 75f and below range. Liquid in the 80f and up range. I usually prefer extra virgin coconut oil from one like uncle bronners, nutiva, aunt patty's,etc. Most of the organic brands are pretty similar in quality from my experience so I just shop based on price.

A little worried about what I bought. It is always liquid. From Carrington Farms, unflavored, odorless coconut cooking oil. Non-hydrogenated and free of trans fatty acids.

Wonder if the fatty acids are what is needed.

Hmmm I found an article of someone complaining about that brand of coconut oil and saying they think it might be low quality.

I know people definitely will cut their olive oils and such with cheaper oils so maybe they're doing the same with some coconut now too. I've never seen any coconut oil before that just stayed liquid 100% of the time but I usually only get the fancy more expensive brands from places like Whole Foods, so sounds like whatever you got might possibly be cut with some other oil that doesn't ever go solid. Or maybe it's just a particular batch that was old, rancid, improperly stored? Could possibly be some issue like that.

Thanks!!!

It says on label that it stays liquid. It only lists coconut oil as ingredient. It was half the cost of the other coconut oils. I will return and get the other type. Glad to hear that it is 75 degrees that turns it to liquid. Was hot here last week and it was liquid, but got cold so heat is on at 70F so that is why syringe coagulated again.

I am trying to think what the differences were between the other types. Know some was organic.
