Oil infusion uses low, controlled heat to transfer compounds from plant material into a fat-based carrier, such as oil or butter.
The process depends on two key factors:
Balancing both is essential. Too much heat or time can degrade quality, while too little leads to weak results.
Small changes in your settings can significantly impact your outcome.
An oil infusion calculator helps you find the ideal balance based on your inputs.
Different oils absorb compounds at different rates:
Larger batches may need adjustments to ensure even extraction.

After consuming an edible, it's possible for some individuals to experience its effects as early as 30 minutes. For newcomers to edibles, it is crucial to exercise patience and wait a complete two hours before considering additional consumption. This waiting period allows ample time to fully gauge the effects before deciding to introduce more into your system. Learn more in our blog post here.
Typically, the effects of edibles last between four and six hours for most individuals. However, it's worth noting that some users have reported feeling the effects persistently for up to 12 hours. Learn more in our blog post here.
To expedite the onset of your edibles effects, there are a few things to consider. Firstly, consuming your edible on an empty stomach may promote faster digestion and absorption, leading to a faster onset of effects.
Additionally, pairing your edible with foods high in healthy fats or oils can enhance the absorption of the edible’s compounds. Remember to wait a sufficient amount of time before considering additional consumption, as the onset may differ for each person.
It is generally recommended to consume your edible on a full or partially full stomach. Having some food in your system can help slow down the digestion process, potentially leading to a more gradual release of the edible's effects. However, it's important to strike a balance. Eating a heavy or large meal just before consuming an edible may delay the onset of effects or weaken their potency. Additionally, avoid consuming your edible on an empty stomach, as this can intensify the effects and potentially lead to discomfort. Ultimately, finding the right balance between having some food in your system without overindulging is key for a pleasant and controlled edible experience.
The duration of edibles in your system can vary depending on several factors. Generally, the effects of edibles can last anywhere from four to six hours. However, it's important to note that the compounds from the flower can remain in your system for longer periods. Some compounds, for example, can be detectable in urine for up to 30 days, especially with frequent or high-dose use. The exact timeframe can be influenced by individual metabolism, dosage, frequency of use, and other variables.
When striving to create stronger edibles, several factors come into play. Ensuring the potency of your infusion involves considering the quality of your ingredients, the freshness of your herbs, the proper storage of your flower before infusion, and the preparation of your flower prior to the infusion process.
To enhance the potency of your edibles, one effective approach is to incorporate multiple infusions using various fats, such as infused honey, butter, and more. For detailed instructions on how to make stronger edibles, we invite you to visit our dedicated blog post, where we delve further into this topic.
Creating micro-dosed oils allows for precise and controlled dosing, providing a unique cannabis experience. Microdosing involves taking small amounts of cannabis-infused oils to achieve subtle and manageable effects. Unlike normal dosing of edibles, which can result in more pronounced and potentially overwhelming effects, micro-dosing offers a gentle introduction to the benefits of cannabis. We invite you to visit our informative blog that discusses micro-dosing, its benefits, and walks you through the process of creating your own micro-dosed oils at home.
When infusing flower into a base that does not have a high fat content, you should add lecethin in order to help the flower bind to the base. When infusing flower into things like honey, maple syrup, agave, plant milks etc. you should add lecethin to your base prior to infusion. We recommend adding 1 teaspoon per 2 cups of the base you’re infusing.
Stop guessing your infusion settings.
