Want an easy Cannabis Infused chili oil? Ready to take your boring bland dish up a notch like a pro? Here at The California Weed Blogwe like it Spicy! Whether you’re into a more “Mexican Style” heat, an Asian Sichuan-style burn or some all purpose chili oil we’ve got you covered! Chili oil typically is dried (sometimes crushed) chiles preserved in oil. Since we are making a Cannabis and Chili infused oil we’re going to opt for a more fatty oil as fatty oils are much more effective in absorbing THC.Cannabinoids and fats are both considered hydrophobic, THC molecules are extremely lipid soluble when heated in a fatty solution. This starts working in the pan and continues its work in your body. After which THC is stored in your adiposetissue and remains there for 30 days or more. The storage of THC in fatty tissue is #1 reason why you can still fail a drug test long after you “quit” smoking (a shame, I just quit smoking yesterday). OKAY I HEAR YOU! ENOUGH SCIENCE LETS GET TO THE GOOD STUFF!

We used Habaneros but you can literally use any of your favorite chiles, try using Thai chiles for an Asian kick or even Arbol or Ancho for a smokey Chipotle-style heat, the world is your oyster, EXPERIMENT!
INSTRUCTIONS
Break up your bud. You can do it by hand, with a grinder or with a food processor
Combine olive oil and Cannabis stirring every 15-20 minutes. Simmer on medium-low for 4 hours (the longer the better) Be sure not to boil the mixture or it will reduce the potency of your end product!
Add chiles, crushed pepper and Wax (optional for the high tolerance enthusiast!) and simmer for another 20 mins
Strain contents and bottle for later use. I like to pull the Dried whole chiles out and stuff them in the bottle with the infused oil.
