It may be a long name, but it's still simple medicine...
Full Extract Cannabis Oil is made from Cannabis and High proofed Alcohol such as Everclear or Bacardi 151. Making your own FECO is quite easy. I use a machine called the Magical Butter Machine, but you can make your own with a few simple tools and ingredients. It's easiest to store FECO in syringes as it's thick and very sticky.
What You need:
- Decarbed Cannabis 1 oz.
- High proofed alcohol (1/5th or 750 ml)
- 1 Quart jar.
- Large Pyrex dish or bowl.
- Cheese Cloth or paper coffee filter/reusable coffee filter.
- Empty Syringes to collect and store the oil.
- Heat source. A small electric burner is what I use outdoors for Evaporation.
To make FECO you're going to need a 1 qt jar. You will need to follow these instructions...
- Grind your Cannabis.
- Put your cannabis in a Large bowl.
- Add your fifth of alcohol to the bowl.
- Mix for about 3 minutes.
- Strain your cannabis mixture through a strainer and catch in another bowl.
- Squeeze as much alcohol mixture out of cheese cloth.
- Pour liquid into top pot on double boiler. Your bottom pot should be full of water.
- Turn heat on high until the liquid begins to bubble. Ensure there are no sparks or evaporate outdoors.
- Once it begins to bubble turn the heat to very low. If the bubbles stop turn the heat back up a little for a short time.
- It will take 15-25 minutes to evaporate the alcohol from the oil.
- Once the liquid begins to thicken, and no longer bubbles it's time to collect your oil.
- Using empty syringes, tilt the pan so it runs to one side and begin to suck it up into syringes.
- Store in a cool dark place.
