## Abstract

A cannabis infused oil is formed by collecting and drying raw cannabis material having a desired cannabinoid profile. Next, the raw dried cannabis material is blended with oil to obtain a cannabis infused oil mixture. Blending is performed without causing the cannabis material to become decarboxylated. Next, the cannabis material is filtered from the cannabis infused oil mixture thereby obtaining a cannabis infused oil. The cannabis infused oil has at least two cannabinoids present in the oil in accordance with the desired cannabinoid profile. Next, the cannabis infused oil is packaged for storage and shipment. The cannabis infused oil is formed without any alcohol, does not have any decarboxylated cannabinoids and is non-psychoactive. In one example, the cannabis infused oil has between 100 milligrams and 2,000 milligrams of cannabinoids per fluid ounce of cannabis infused oil. In another example, before blending with oil, the cannabis material is combined with alcohol.
