Full Extract Cannabis Oil (FECO)

Step 1

Decarboxylate your cannabis by baking it in a 240° F oven for 40 minutes (for THC dominant flower). Click here for a full tutorial on cannabis decarboxylation, if needed.

Step 2

Place the decarboxylated cannabis flower at the bottom of a pint-sized mason jar.

Step 3

Pour the Everclear over the cannabis flower. You only need to add enough alcohol to completely cover the plant matter*. Screw the cap tightly and shake gently.

Step 4

Place the mason jar in a cool, dark location like a cupboard or closet and leave to sit for 24-hours.

Step 5

After 24-hours, strain the cannabis tincture through a coffee filter or cheesecloth into a clean mason jar, separating the plant-matter from the alcohol.

Step 6

Pour the strained cannabis tincture into a mini warming crockpot. Turn the warming crockpot on warm or low and allow the mixture to cook down without the lid.

Step 7

The alcohol will evaporate off during the cooking process, reducing the volume and leaving behind a thick, black, sticky substance. This black substance is your medicine. The timeframe will be largely dependent on the starting volume of the tincture. For example, 1 cup of tincture will take approximately 4-5 hours to evaporate down into FECO.

Step 8

Store your medicine in a glass syringe, capsule, or another airtight container. Store in a cool, dark place like a medicine cabinet.
