Hello miss Mello How have you been girl? I have made lip balms as well and they are a big hit! And apparently they have a good effect to them, at least that is what my patients tell me. My one girl who celebrates Ramadan (sp?), loves them. She can't eat or smoke during Ramadan, but swears by the lip balm! I have been thinking about expanding on it to make an icy hot type rub.

hello miz fumbz how the heck are ya??
i haven't made any balm or salves in a while but people are starting to hint about almost being out of lip balm so i need to get back into that. mr kitty took my personal jar of salve over to the production site so i need some of that too. it's just.... i feel like my kitchen needs to be damn-near lab-grade spotless for topicals and it's just not there right now and it's hot and i'm low energy these days.... much as i like to complain about the length of winter / lack of outdoor growing season here, i could never live somewhere where it's actually HOT.
icy hot rub would be cool, what would you use, oil of wintergreen maybe? the last salve i made i maxed out on medicinal EO's and it came out smelling kinda like tiger balm lol... i added ginger and cayenne too so there was plenty of hot but not really any 'icy' (even though there was rosemary and tea tree in it). the marjoram oil seems to really help with the muscle pain but it's neither hot nor icy.

So good to hear from you Pretty cool to see what we have both ventured into right?! I started making the lip balms, because my last landlord had the stuff and made up a batch for me. All I did was add my coconut hash oil to it and mix it up. I would really like to play around with it though to make more salve type rubs. I like the idea of using the ginger and cayenne for heat. Wintergreen oil sounds perfect!

My girl that uses it for Ramadan, told me that the lip balm works great for headaches too. Just rub into your temples and it eases the headache pain. Others swear it works for muscle spasms in their legs. I think we are onto something miss Mello

Vol. 5 Of my Cannabis World Summit presentation was on producing medical grade transdermal (topical) treatments utilizing a
synergistic blend of essential oils, along with canna. You guys may find it useful!

Peppermint has the highest menthol content, so that's the one you're looking for unless you just prefer the scent profile of
wintergreen (you will need much more WG to produce the same effect in an icy-hot blend). We use different combinations of
ginger and cinnamon essential oils for 'hot', with rosemary for an 'icy-hot' sensation blend, and peppermint for icy!
Camphor and frankincense, we use for the powerful pain relief and circulatory benefits they provide. Lemongrass (and others!)
for its pain, and even cancer fighting properties, such as the limonene and myrcene it contains, both of which also allow
cannabinoids to pass through cellular membranes including both the skin and the blood brain barrier, more easily.


Combined they feel almost overwhelming, but they don't burn at all, even in *sensitive areas, and in minutes your symptoms are
subsiding and pain is melting away.


(*Test small spots first of course! But this very blend HAS been used for instance by one patient to successfully overcome
problematic recurring cervical cysts, while providing pain relief without irritation!

.... And personally, I have used these bars myself for a 'naughty warming lotion'

MUCH healthier than store-bought personal lotions!)


Our blend has been used for everything from stress migraines (temple, and pre-shower/overnight scalp treatments) and restless
leg syndrome, to different and sometimes even deep cancers/tumors (it can effectively penetrate up to several inches below the
surface of the treated area).

It's also completely edible, if you pick your ingredients wisely! Patients are recommended to keep bars/tubs next to their beds
for early morning use and circulation, but if a pain or a symptom arises that an edible dose can manage, and they are out of
bedside capsules, it may be eaten... it's much more palatable than 'SenSen'. But even better, with its touch of glycerin, it's
even subtly sweet!

From BadKat's CannaPharm, Summit Edition, Vol. 5 : "Bone Bars" - Medical Grade Topical Cancer/Pain Treatment




Freshly heat polished (usually I pop them under the broiler for a flash or in the sun for a few moments after they first harden,
but when filming I can just hold them under the 'stage lights' for a sec )






And for fun, some solar hits with the fish

awesome stuff again. I was telling my bro about your capsules and he was like i get muscular and joint pain all day everyday ( he does a very physical manual job ) and happens to have about a quarter of hash we made together ages back. it's already been decarbed once. I'm guessing there's no reason we can't use heated and pressed hash instead of just plain kief, right?

ordering my lecithin today! thanks again BKS and co.

solar rips are a thing i doubt i'll ever get to try in the uk

This is just awesome BKS! Thank you so much for posting. I love your recipes and methods. I have been following your thread for quite some time now and can't tell you how much it has helped me help others, not to mention myself. Once I followed your hash capsule recipe, I started getting some sleep. I now use that oil is all kinds of things! Thank you so much

I will definitely be following this advice too on the salve. I have a patient who has very visible muscle spasms in his legs. He already loves the edibles, but I think this would work wonders for him. I am hoping it will even work on my leg pain. Then I will really sleep!

thank you so much for the valuable input, BKS
now i just have to find me those molds (so cool!!)

don when i visited the uk years ago it was the month of may and HOT (we were in southern england though.....) ! maybe you could pull off solar hits in the summertime.... ?

Oh my, I must try those candies! Im going to use 7g of hash though, maybe more. These will be more for my father and his arthritis, I enjoy smoking.

Thanks for the recipes BadKat, they look great and are very well laid out and easy to follow. I have a question though. I want to make the cannabis infused coconut oil for medibles but your recipe for the capsules only uses a small amount of oil. I'd like to make at least 2 cups of oil at a time.

My question is how much plant material (hash/bud) do I need for that amount of oil and will I be able to use the exact same method or would a double boiler work in place of putting it in the oven?

If anyone has any input please let me know. I just finished making a batch of oil and the potency is seriously lacking. I messed it up pretty bad, didn't decarb plant material and I used the oil and water crockpot method. Any help would be appreciated.

Never mind, I found what I was looking for on page 7.

purple...............

Love the thread and all the great info. That said I seem to be having a hard time making lollypops. My problem is that when I add the oil to the cooling sugar mix the oil refuses to mix. it just sits on the top. I have seen some videos of people adding it at the beginning before they boil but I really don't want to boil my hash oil. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong will be REALLY appreciated. I've tried 5 times now and each time had a issue.

On another note, the oil I made using your directions rocks. Thanks for all the great info.

I have a question about the hash oil. As it is impossible to buy hash (as shown in the first post) in this area. Would I be able to make the oil out of just buds? I can get my hands on some of the best smoke around, so its still quite potent (maybe not as potent as what I've seen here, but potent). I was thinking perhaps I could use small quantities of bud at a time and just recycle the oil the get the potency similar to hash oil. So my plan is to grind the buds into a fine dust and remove any stems, decarb, then freeze (as to get the thc crystallized best). Afterwards use the bud with the same directions posted to make the hash oil only filtering with maybe a cheese cloth (or something finer if anyone knows what would work best) then repeat using the fresh bud and processed oil. Just wanted to see what others might think about it before I begin any testing. Also I've heard a lot about people having problems with the oils (Hash oil, CannaButter, BHO, Etc...) separating and I've been wondering if it may be due to the water not being boiled off completely while making the hard candies. Just a theory though.

Johnnycat, here's a video from the OP. This might be of help:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v6wKwQO6Ko

Best video I've seen in a while. Thank you for sharing that with me I'm sure I'll watch it ten more times tonight lol. If I wanted to take the finished oil and run this process again with fresh bud would that work? I'd like the get a oil that is very potent. The whole reason is I hope to use less oil when making candies, but still get the candies potent. Stronger the oil, less I have to use, and the less likely I'll have any separation problems. Also I didn't see anything in regards to decarbing in this video. Is it not needed here or did she not do it intentionaly? Seems like you would decarb for a psyco high and not decarb for a relaxing body high. Does that sound right or am I over thinking this? In addition to decarbing would freezing the bud prior to using it make the thc more crystallized? And would that help with them releasing into the oil? I wanna do everything I can to insure that psyco active head high I get from smoking. Thank you all in advance for your advice and help.

Nvm I see there are multiple volumes. Still curious about recycling the oils with new buds and if freezing to crystallize the thc would help with the absorption in the oils.

Hopefully BKS will chime in here. She's far more educated than myself on the subject. That being said, the only problem I see with reusing the same oil multiple times is that it may already be saturated. Oil, or any solvent, can only absorb so many cannabinoids before it becomes too saturated and can't hold any more. The extra cannabinoids, unable to be absorbed into the oil, would just be lost. There's a term for this, but I'm too high and can't think of it at the moment lol. From my experience with ethanol, various oils and butter there's a point when you'll have to add more solvent to extract more cannabinoids. The hash coconut oil described in this thread is very potent, far more so than smoking, but I've never made the coconut oil with buds. Edible cannabis when prepared and dosed correctly should cause a much stronger and longer lasting buzz than inhaled smoke. As for the freezing, I freeze my coconut oil between the heatings and freeze it for long term storage. I think BKS mentions this in this thread or one of her videos. If your looking for extreme potency, you may want to look into a concentrated cannabis oil extracted with ethanol, isopropyl, butane or the like. Anyway, I hope this was of some help to you and good luck in your adventure!

Oh and here's her decarboxylation video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEa9a1riXl8

It sure has. I just got done watching volumes 1-5 and have a good idea on how the process is done. I see what you mean about the oils reaching their limits and you raise a great point. I've been wondering as well about if you can use the processed buds that have been filtered. Is there anything worth while to use it for? Or does it just go in the trash? I'm going to try and find out with a little more research about the whole freezing before processing the buds. I've only seen it mentioned here and there but I'll let everyone know if I find anything worth while to share.

So I researched this freezing idea all night and morning with no hard evidence it would in fact make a difference with making the hash oils. It seems that the trichomes become more crystallized and there for brittle so they fall off easier. Looks to be effective when making dry sifted hash, but that all I could confirm. I think I'll be skipping this process and wait for more definite information. Still wondering if anyone has found a use for the processed buds. I'd have to imagine there's some good left in the bud and would hate to trow it away.

You could try and make another batch of coconut oil with the used bud. Then cook up some cookies or whatever and see if it's got any potency left. Worst case you've got a batch of non medicated cookies lol. I've see people blast used bud with butane to try and extract every possible cannabinoid. I'm not sure how effective that is either. Just a couple ideas anyway. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

So I've been doing a lot of research on using coconut oil and remembered reading a couple years back about using water, butter, and weed to make cannabutter. I found this same process with coconut oil and water to get a better concentration of THC in the oil without having to recycle the processed oil with fresh buds. Not sure if there are any downsides to this process sense the professionals don't seem to do it this way. Would love to hear what everyone has to say about it. Now the big question everyone wants to know is how much THC can be absorbed before the oil is fully saturated. Nobody seems to have any clue as to what there talking about as far as a scientific formula to figure this out. People say 1:3, 1:4, etc ratios of bud to oil. I've thought long and hard about this and was thinking that if you know the THC and CBD percentage of the bud your using you could have a general idea of the weight or volume of THC and CBD's in the bud. Example: 1 oz of bud with a 15% THC content and a 5% CBD content would mean that you have 4.2g THC and 1.4g CBD's. With this theory we have a total of 5.6g of goodness to absorb into our coconut oil and as the oil has around 13g of saturated fat per serving you could use a half serving (maybe a little more give or take sense I know there's more then just the THC and CBDs in weed) and be able to get the most potent oil possible no mater the weed your using. I'd love to here from you BKS and see what your take is on this potential formula. Also if someone could confirm that 1g of saturated fat can absorb 1g of THC as that's only the jist of what I could tell per my research. I hope this theory I've had can lead us all to knowing how to make the best cannaoil possible. Can't wait to hear everyone's thoughts.
