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.
