DIY THC/CBD Topicals

Just made a topical. 1/3cup beeswax, 1/3cup olive oil and 1/2 cup lecithin infused cannabutter coco with 1 cup coconut to make 1.5 cups coconut. Mix in double boiler, cool and use.

Any tips tricks I can learn from the community? Was asked if I could make some for some people and just like that here we are.

General discussion of topicals, how can they be made more effective, dosage, anything related.

I make topicals using coconut oil and decarbed trim in a crockpot. I am planning to experiment with adding shea butter so that it won’t turn liquid at room temperature in the summer.

I prefer to “rinse” the trim with water before infusing it in oil because this will remove some of the chlorophyll and other chemicals that can cause a nasty smell. So I either boil it in a pot of water for a few minutes or put it in the basket of an old-fashioned drip coffee maker and run hot water through it.

They just tried it, said its rock hard needs to melt a little before applying. Aside from that they felt tingling in that area. Terpene irritation? Is it working?

Using it for joint pain in ankles, knees. Does not want to get high whatsoever, maybe some time but right now theyre too busy.

I know how weed can destroy productivity even just one hit, affects you days later. Often times it can make one just keep indulging during that phase.

Some can take any drug and have that control not to keep doing it. Im not that guy lol. Its why I called myself medidedicated!

Anyway let me know if it sounds like its working, does it take practice? Cbd and edibles took lots of practice to feel. I never done topicals, about to try some myself.

Does liposomal encapulation apply in this scenario at all? Or will it make it less effective?

Try this,works well for sore muscles and joints :
16 0z. infused coconut oil - I use oz. of decarbed popcorn/trim with 1/4 oz. fresh from my last grow,whatever it is .Most would be high thc %,low in cbd.
3-4 0z beeswax pellets - add more for thick balms,less for creams
Menthol crystals - amount depends on what your using.Go light at first.
Arnica oil -10-15 drops
Essential oils - your choice.I like lemon-mint,gets rid of weed smell.
Olive oil ( optional ) helps with absorption but can make greasy when using essential oils in oil bases.
Infuse your weed in coconut oil 1-2 hrs and strain.Use double boiler set-up and combine,pour into tins.

Im in freakin business baby! My legs are high?!?!

I felt it immediately relief muscle soreness and it rubbed dry which is pleasant. Smells good, hints of cannabis.

This is crazy! First time treating anything with topicals and they freakin work!!!

Sore legs thys from working out making space for grow tent and rosin press station and was real sore. It hurt to sit down or apply pressure on my thys.

Needless to say it feels stimulated and relieved. So my rosin pucks can be used after all for more medicating.

Edibles sucked burned my stomach can only digest the finest gourmet cannabutter.

This can be given to people who dont get high nor want to!! Can you see the opportunities? lol.

I foegot about that ty for reminding me i will use all my pucks for that.
Dumb question but i never worked with coconut butter if i cook it in water will it solidifie on top like normal butter? When it cools overnight

Shoot I forgot how I even made it for a second lol. The first post brought back memories, I pretty much just did that on a double doiler which can be made from a pyrex bowl or the like, in a boiling pot of water.

Just dont let the water mix. I mixed it real well and the lecithin did its job and just cooled outside at like 60f. It chilled into one consitancy and was told it didnt rub well at first.

But when I tried it just now at 65F basement stored, it rubbed like a legit lotion so idk what that was about.

I wonder how much will 100g of pressed bud drink coconutbitter whats the lecitin for?

Im not sure what you mean, drink coconut bitter? You wouldnt drink it but the lecithin emulsifies everything.

What I dont know is if using existing lecithin in cannabutter that had 20% lecithin by volume, or mixing in the double boiler makes a difference.

I did about 2oz of trim/pucks per half cup cannabutter and used what says in first post, 1/2 cup coconut. I dont remember using that much but I had to of if I said so.

Edit I see now I indeed did 1cup coconut 1/2 cup lecithin 20% by volume of coconut oil to make 1.5 cups, says in first post. I missed that.

I read it from a how-to site suggested by google. Id say dry sifted trim is about the same as using rosin pucks, could use any or both.

I could of sworn it said beeswax is an emulsifier too or my family did but I read its for the topical application to make it lotion like, I forget. But I know the lecithin is important.

Theres also the other users suggested recipie I havent tried. This shit lasts a long time lol. By the way I just read the effects are immediate and last 6 hours or longer, thats sweet.

I did feel it immediately.

The mechanisms of how this work, work very slow like edibles but slower.

I use lecitin to bond oil and water.

I love what you are saying about the cream and effect you got me hooked

Reading if this can make muscles heal faster basically. 2 days of this and day 2 I used the topical and day 3 today its not sore enough to need more.

Says it can last 1-5 days or more so thats good, maybe it is healing faster. I recall feeling that for longer when I do get sore. Least a few days.

This shit would hit home for body builders people that go to gym often hell just basic weight loss like walking/running.

Any work out that can make you feel sore and shitty therefor every time you move. Hurts to flex muscles, very basic symptom to treat.

Probably going to be sore after setting up my 3x5x6. Will see how it does.

Do yall think the oil loaded with impurities to where it burns stomach every time you eat it.. Is that something bad for your skin?

I didnt notice the descrepencies of edibles for a while and hoping Im not getting falsely excited again.

Your skin is the biggest organ.. Can it irritate it or absorb heavy metals contaminants etc? I only used it once but it was fire. Fire as in very effectively medicating.

My quick lousy reseach says yes but not much more than eating dark chocolate or the like. As for anything else idk.

I wouldnt want to use pure hash for it. Its like realizing if I want edibles I have to compromise some of my cream of crop.

Not happening for topicals, at least not for free. The first ones always free though hehe.
