Honey Oil

How to Make Cannabis Oil (a.k.a. Honey Oil) — Safely!

⚠️ Just so you know: This guide is meant to help people understand how hash/ Honey Oil is made — not to encourage its use. Cannabis is illegal or age-restricted in many places, and it's not recommended for anyone under 18.

🧪 What You'll Need (a.k.a. Your Oil-Making Gear)

  • Glass jar with a tight lid

  • Metal pot (don't use plastic!)

  • Bottle of high-proof grain alcohol (190 proof — think Everclear, NOT rubbing alcohol)

  • Ground-up cannabis (more = better)

  • Cheesecloth or coffee filters

  • Funnel

  • Small jar for storage

  • Electric stove ONLY (🔥 gas stoves + alcohol = boom)

  • Stove fan or open window

🔥 SAFETY FIRST

Never — and we mean never — do this near an open flame. Alcohol vapors can explode. Use only an electric stove and make sure the room is ventilated.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Step 1: Make the Green Mix

  1. Break up your weed like you're making confetti — no seeds or stems.

  2. Toss it in your jar, then pour in just enough alcohol to cover it. You want it to swirl around like a snow globe.

  3. Seal it up and shake like you're making a magic potion.

  4. Let it sit for a few hours (some people leave it for a full day). Give it a shake every now and then.

  5. When the liquid turns dark green and gets bubbly on top, you're ready to move on.

Step 2: Strain & Squeeze

  1. Put your cheesecloth or coffee filter in the funnel.

  2. Pour the green mix through the filter and into your metal pot.

  3. Once it drains, gather up the cloth/filter and squeeze out all the juicy goodness. Every drop counts.

  4. Optional: Toss the squeezed weed back in the jar, add more alcohol, and repeat Step 1. It's like a second round of loot in a video game.

Step 3: Cook It Down (THE SAFE WAY)

🔥 Electric stove only! LOW HEAT. Vent on.

  1. Put your pot of green liquid on the stove, burner on LOW.

  2. Turn on your stove fan or crack a window — alcohol fumes gotta go.

  3. Watch it like a hawk. You want it to simmer, not boil like soup.

  4. As the alcohol cooks off, the liquid will get thicker and darker. Once it looks like syrup, take it off the heat.

  5. Let it cool. If it's too thick, you can loosen it by adding a splash of alcohol and giving it a swirl.

🧪 Boom — you've made honey oil. Store it in a small jar and keep it somewhere cool.

🌀 What if I Have a Gas Stove?

DO. NOT. USE. IT.

Instead:

  • Pour the green liquid into a metal or glass container.

  • Leave it somewhere warm and ventilated, like a shelf near sunlight or by a fan.

  • Let it evaporate naturally. This could take a few days — patience is part of the process.

🎯 Final Tips

  • Use responsibly. Honey oil is super potent — a little goes a long way.

  • Store it safely. Cool, dark places = longer shelf life.

  • Don't rush the process. Especially the cooking or evaporation part. Rushing = risky.
