Instructions to make oil
-
Fill your saucepan or similar vessel with 250 ml water and boil the water on medium heat
-
Once the water gets a little hot, place the heatproof bowl on the top of the pan. This process is nothing but double-boiling in simpler terms
-
Pour the base oil (olive or coconut) in the bowl. When the oil becomes lukewarm, add the right amount of finely trimmed cannabis in the oil. Thoroughly mix the trimmed cannabis with the oil
-
Cook the oil with cannabis leaves on medium heat for around 1 to 2 hours. Make sure you stir the oil occasionally after every 30 minutes
-
After 2 hours, turn off the gas and take the bowl out of the pan. Leave the oil for 20 minutes until it becomes completely cool.
-
Once the oil has cooled down, filter it through the strainer and cheesecloth into the small glass bottle
-
Squeeze the cheesecloth well to ensure that there is no oil left in the cloth
-
Now, add the prescribed drops of all the essential oils (lavender, bergamot, and rosemary) in the same bottle. Slowly shake the bottle to mix them all with the base oil
-
Seal the bottle tightly and keep it in a dry place for more than 24 hours. This will allow the aroma of all oils to blend in properly.
And look! Your cannabis massage oil is ready. If you are planning your own indoor cannabis cultivation, try to pick the best seeds only such as Super silver haze, white widow, big bang auto, white rhino, lemon shunk, and Chemdog, which contain calming properties.
