Some cannabis butter made with coconut butter. Been fine to eat periodically over the last 5 months but the dose we took two days ago, we assume, was responsible for 48 hours of vomit and nausea. Was stored in a glass jar at room temp. Foolish, I know.


Any smart teks for extracting THC/CBD from off coconut butter? And what would be the best thing to do then with the extract?

That is a pretty difficult task, afaik.

You're kind of lucky though - if you have plant matter in oil like that you can also get botulism from it!

You could try dissolving the butter in naphtha and dissolving out the cannabis phenolics with a lye solution. If that works out without turning into a soapy mess (be quick with it perhaps), you can then acidify the aqueous portion and extract again with light naphtha. Evaporate the NPS while keeping your fingers crossed.

I haven't tried this personally but it's the simplest non-chromatographic approach I can think of.

Thanks for the reply DFZ. Having just looked up botulism I'd ageee with you, we got lucky.

Such a waste, about 9 months supply gone bad. I will try what you suggest.
