Coconut oil by far is one of the best products on the market today. It is has become one of the most popular superfoods and is recommended to be used as an oil when consuming raw or cooked food. Coconut oil is a saturated oil made mainly of medium-chain fatty acids. It gets its extra punch from lauric acid (C12) which comprises about 50% of the total fatty acids.
Coconut oil has been linked to many different medical benefits including accelerating healing time for wounds, delivering antioxidant properties, and preventing bone loss. This wonder oil is so commonly used that people are adding it nowadays to virtually everything – and one of those things is coconut oil with cannabis.
Cannabis Coconut Oil Benefits
As coconut oil is rich in fatty acids, it has the capability of creating a strong binding agent for cannabinoids. This is compared to other oils, such as olive oil, which contains less than 20% of saturated fat content. Cannabis and coconut oil are literally like a match made in heaven and thanks to recent research it is now understood that the cannabis coconut oil benefits are incomparable to any other cannabis-based oil.

Step 2
Fill the bottom pan of a double boiler with a few inches of water. Place the second and on top and heat to a gentle boil.

Step 5
Cook for about 1.5 hours. Once the mixture has turned green, remove the packet and set aside to cool
