It means a more potent product that’s much healthier. Many companies on the market today cut their dabs with MCT’s (from coconut oil), PG, VG, or other unnatural chemical carriers and additives to maximize profits and create a free flowing product. 

• We offer the exact opposite.
• We keep our syringes fully uncut, thick, and extremely potent blended only with natural terpene profiles. 
• This is the most organic and cleanest CBD syringe available on the market.

How to make Edibles with Concentrates:

Consider the dish you’ll infuse

The first step in cooking with concentrates is to consider the final product—are you making a salad dressing or a batch of brownies? Some concentrate consistencies are better suited for certain mediums, and some may leave a bitter aftertaste.

Concentrates with strong flavors, such as RSO, might be better in sweet edibles, where the flavor can be more effectively masked. Other less processed concentrates, such as live resin and waxes, have more flavor that will carry through into the infusion.

Select an infusing oil for edibles

Oils with high saturated fat contents are a great base oil for infusing with cannabis concentrates, such as coconut or avocado oil. Oils for infusion include:

• Canola
• Vegetable
• Coconut
• Olive
• Avocado
• Sesame
• Peanut

Canola or vegetable oil will have more of a neutral flavor, while sesame and peanut oil have a specific flavor. 

Additionally, oils have different consistencies at room temperature, so consider how you’ll be storing the oil. 

Choose your Concentrate

Concentrates have different textures and consistencies, and some are easier to work with than others. Some are thick and gooey, like taffy or budder; some are hard and brittle, like shatter and isolates; and some are powdery, like kief. Thats why we prefer RESTART CBD Dab Uncut Wax Syringes. Extremely easy to use, easy to measure and never messy!  

Distillate has an oil-like consistency and is flavorless and scentless. It’s also appealing because it doesn’t need to be decarboxylated. RSO also doesn’t need decarboxylation, but it is slightly thicker and a little harder to work with. 

Make sure you only use concentrates that have been purchased through a licensed, legal market. You don’t want any contaminants in your edibles or body.

Dosing and measuring cannabis oils for edibles

Dosing homemade edibles is notoriously tricky. Here’s how to calculate an approximate dose with concentrates.

Determine these factors:

• The weight of your concentrate (in grams)
• The potency of the concentrate (THC% or CBD%)
• The number of servings the cooked dish will yield (e.g., “makes a dozen cookies”)

To calculate, use this equation:

(weight of concentrate x CBD% x 1,000) / number of servings

• Multiply the weight of your concentrate (in grams) by the percentage of CBD (as a decimal)
• Multiply that number by 1,000 to convert grams to milligrams
• Divide that number by the number of servings your recipe yields to determine milligrams of THC per portion

For example, 1 gram of a concentrate with 18% potency, should yield about 180mg of CBD: (1 x 18%) x 1,000 = 180.

Then, 180mg of CBD distributed throughout 12 cookies gives each cookie about 15mg of CBD. Mix well for an even distribution.

Make sure you know your preferred edible dose—most CBD edibles sold in shops come in 10-25 mg per serving.

When in doubt, start with a low dose, wait 45-60 minutes, and take more if you want stronger effects.

Cooking, baking, and infusing with concentrates

Cooking

Powdery concentrates and other concentrates that become soft during decarbing can be added directly to dishes. 

When cooking, keep the heated pan under 300°F to maintain cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds. Add the concentrate toward the end of the cooking process, and stop cooking once it has dissolved.

Baking

Soft or powdery concentrates can also be added directly to a batch of brownies, cookies, or other baked goods. Be sure to mix thoroughly to spread the concentrate around evenly throughout the batch.

Infusing

If a concentrate is very thick, or putting a concentrate directly into your dish doesn’t sounds appealing, infuse it in oil or butter.

To infuse:

Add oil or butter and decarbed concentrate to a double-boiler, slow cooker, or saucepan, and simmer on low for 2-3 hours, keeping the temperature of the oil between 160-200ºF. The concentrate will melt into the infusion.

Let the infusion cool, and add it to any recipe. Use oil to make a salad dressing or to oil a pan before cooking, or use infused butter in place of regular butter for baking.
