Coconut oil is my favorite way of making edibles- I'm surprised how few people take advantage of it- it's much easier to work with than butter, it's vegan friendly, it tastes good, and it's healthy(er).

And, hell, while you're on the subject of grinding and baking the nug- is that beneficial for cooking as well? Aren't lipids necessary for the chemical change in pot when heat is applied?
the reason people bake their cannibus is to convert the THCA into THC. This occurs when smoking and vaping but without this step in tinctures, the end products is not potent. Lipids are not necessary for this step
