This is a pretty simple way to make two types of topicals. As I mentioned in the video, I prefer lotions because I use them more and they are hydrating to the skin. However, the shelf-stability and often the permeability through the skin is better with salves, and you can really concentrate the active ingredients because they are all oil soluble. I am not using gloves in this recipe or any other safety equipment because I am making these for myself, and this is an experimental recipe. If you are making topicals for commercial purposes, please use personal protective equipment.…

The goal of the nonprofit is to provide a more nuanced and holistic view of cannabis as medicine and emphazie community data and engagement. On this #NAPTIME Riley and Miyabe head to Nova Scotia, Canada for two speaking events: one geared towards industry professionals and another towards consumers.

This is not a tutorial on making Cannabis edibles, rather it is a video describing why we do what we do while making edibles. There are two main steps: the first is activating the Cannabis. Activation involves heating the Cannabis flower to remove a specific functional group from the cannabinoids. Removal of the this group makes the cannabinoids much more active in the human body. Once the compounds are activated we then select a good extraction solvent like butter or oil. This video discusses why we choose fatty things to extract cannabinoids in. Thanks for watching! source

Comment questions below, and keep it positive! source
