Making Cannabis and CBD Infused Butter AKA Cannabutter!

Marijuana connoisseurs and foodies may have heard of the term “cannabutter,” which, as you may have guessed, is cannabis-infused butter! Created by incorporating cannabis flower buds or directly utilizing CBD oils, cannabutter is often used for making cannabis edibles and baked goods, but can also be incorporated into savoury dishes as an herb-butter garnish. Making your own cannabutter can be a complex and time-consuming process, but it is well worth the work as it opens up a whole new world of experiences with food in a fun and creative way with cannabis!

First off, what is CBD?

CBD is short for cannabidiol, which is one of the most commonly found active ingredients or “cannabinoids” in hemp cannabis plants. The other most common compound is THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol. THC is perhaps more well-known to the general populace as this is the ingredient that gives users the stoned, cerebral head-high that is often associated with marijuana usage. CBD, on the other hand, is not psychoactive, so it does not give this cerebral experience, but is yet highly effective in other areas. As the research stands today, CBD actually has a wide range of medical and health benefits, and is now becoming more popular for consumption with new food trends like cannabutter!

Why should I make cannabutter?

Health Benefits of CBD

Numerous studies have shown that CBD can be effective in treating mental health disorders such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. While there are medications available for these disorders, it can often lead to substance abuse or encourage addictive behaviours, while CBD is a natural alternative that is neither addictive or habit-forming.

CBD also helps treat chronic pains by interacting with neurotransmitters and impacting the human body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) which regulates a range of bodily functions, including its immune response system. It has been found highly effective in treating pains associated with arthritis and multiple sclerosis. CBD’s stress-reducing properties and richness in antioxidants are also believed to be linked to lowering high blood pressure, which can benefit heart health and prevent damage.

Practicing Routines

In most households, butter is one of those essential ingredients that is used daily in the kitchen. For bakers in particular, it is an absolute must! Those who already use CBD for medical usage will find that having CBD infused in butter can be a good way of remembering to take regular dosages by incorporating it into their favourite recipes and meals.

Make It Your Own!

All in all, cannabutter is just a great way of making food exciting as you can customize it to your liking. So, if you have a favourite strain with a particular high or flavour profile that you enjoy, or a CBD oil that benefits you more than others, why not incorporate it into your favorite cooking or baking recipes by coming up with your own cannabutter and subbing it in place of the regular?

Making Your Own CBD or Cannabis-Infused Butter

Remember to keep an eye on temperatures when cooking or baking with CBD, as butter burns easily and CBD itself can be cooked out with too high of heat, and this can vary between methods. Keep in mind that when choosing your butter, unsalted or salted can be a better option depending on what you’ll be using your cannabutter for; salted is great for cooking, while unsalted can be better for baking as you can control the amount of salt for your baked goods.

We will go over two ways of making cannabutter:

By infusing concentrated CBD oil with butter
By decarbing cannabis flowers and then infusing them with butter

Both methods will be reviewed below!

Infusing CBD Oil and Butter

This is a fool proof recipe for beginners, and is recommended for those seeking non-psychoactive experiences while reaping the health benefits of their cannabutter. It only requires 3 ingredients, including a pre-existing concentrated CBD oil of your choice (psst, we recommend the Faded Cannabis Co. CBD Tincture!) and a few short and simple steps!

What you’ll need:

2 cups butter
1 cup water
20 ml CBD oil

What to do:

Cut butter into smaller pieces to aid the melting process.
Add butter, water, and CBD oil into a small pot.
Cook over low heat for 2 hours, occasionally stirring. Remember not to go over low heat as higher temperatures can cook off the CBD or burn your butter.
Allow butter to cool, then cover the container and refrigerate overnight.
Once butter solidifies, drain out any excess water and pat with paper towels to remove further moisture.
Refrigerate your finished CBD-infused butter for freshness!

It’s as easy as that! Now you’ve got your CBD infused cannabutter to use at your disposal! Those seeking a balanced CBD/THC experience can try an extract that balances both active ingredients, like the Faded Cannabis Co. Halley’s Comet Tincture; alternatively, you can try the decarbing method!

Decarbing Cannabis to Infuse with Butter

Another way of creating your own cannabutter is via decarboxylating, or “decarbing” cannabis flowers. This process helps extract THC as it converts the non-active cannabinoid, THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid), into the active THC during cooking; this is also what happens when you smoke or vaporize cannabis. This decarbing method allows for further customization as it lets you choose your favourite indica, sativa or hybrid strain to infuse; starting with about 15% THC is ideal as consuming cannabis can be more potent compared to when it is smoked. So, particularly if you are looking for THC highs and psychoactive experiences with food rather than infusing it with a pre-extracted, non-psychoactive CBD oil, decarbing is the way to go!

What you’ll need

1 cup butter
1 cup water
1 cup or 7-10 grams of your choice of cannabis flowers

What you need to do:

First, Decarbing

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees fahrenheit.
With your strain of choice, lightly grind the cannabis flowers/buds with a hand grinder, scissors or with your fingers. The end result should still be leafy, do not grind into a powder.
Place leafy remains on a baking sheet for 1 hour.

Cooking and Infusing

Mix 1 cup of water and 1 cup of butter into a sauce pot on low heat, and allow to melt. (As in the first recipe, feel free to chop butter into small pieces to aid the melting process.)
Add decarbed cannabis, and allow to simmer for 2-3 hours. Stir frequently and keep an eye on the mixture to ensure it doesn’t boil or burn, keeping temperature low. Add more water if needed throughout to maintain a cooler temperature and to avoid the butter from scorching.
Once thickened, strain with a metal sieve or a cheesecloth into a container. Allow for it to strain freely for 5-10 minutes; do not push it through the sieve or cloth as this can result in adding bitter plant bits into the butter.
Allow butter to cool, then cover the container and refrigerate overnight.
Once butter solidifies, drain out any excess water and pat with paper towels to remove further moisture.
Refrigerate your finished cannabis-infused butter for freshness!

Voila! You have your own cannabutter!

With whichever method you decide to opt for, be sure to microdose to test the potency of your new and freshly made cannabutter just to be safe. Allow 45 minutes to an hour for the effects to kick in. Everyone experiences cannabis and CBD differently, so before going all out with trying out new recipes, start simple (buttered toast, for example) and listen to your body to gauge whether you’ll need more or less. Like with everything else, practice makes perfect. Experiment with different cannabutter dosages, or even try different types of strains to see what works–and tastes–best for you! Once you’ve perfected your own unique cannabutter, you can incorporate it into your favourite recipes!

Using CBD Oil in Your Beauty and Skin Care Routine

Cannabis Beauty 101 Cbd Products Worth Hype

CBD has been making waves lately with CBD oil-infused products hitting the top beauty blog lists like on the platform dedicated to all things beauty, Allure, and frequently trending at beauty industry giant, Sephora, season after season! Some of today’s biggest names in beauty and skin care like Peter Thomas Roth, Milk, Josie Maran, Herbivore and NYX are even dedicating new product lines to this marijuana plant-based ingredient. But what exactly is CBD, and how can it be used for your own beauty and skin care regimen?

What is CBD?

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of the many naturally occurring compounds (cannabinoids) found in marijuana or hemp plants. Unlike THC (tetrahydracannabinol), which is the active ingredient in cannabis that allows users to experience cerebral head highs, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not give users that head high that is so often associated with marijuana. Rather, CBD is non-intoxicating, and while it does not have any mind-altering effects, it does offer a range of other effects that can be useful for medical usage, such as treating chronic pains and mood disorders. More recently, it has found a new domain of popularity that many are excited about: beauty and skin care!

What is CBD oil?

CBD oil is produced when the cannabinoid is stripped and extracted from the flowers or leaves of cannabis indica and sativa plants, and then stored as the concentrated form of oil. Different strains or breeds can yield different CBD profiles. CBD can be commonly confused with hemp seed oil; while hemp seed oil is also a derivative of cannabis plants, it is only extracted from cannabis sativa plants in particular and actually does not contain CBD. A further difference is that hemp seed oil contains little to no THC content. While hemp seed oil is great for skin hydration, CBD has a range of other skin care benefits and is often more effective. That being said, CBD concentrates can be mixed with hemp seed oil, as well as olive oil or coconut oil as an infused base and to target different skin concerns or types.

What are the benefits of CBD for skin care?

Acne, Redness and Irritation

CBD has anti-inflammatory properties with many studies showing it is highly effective on acne-prone skin. It helps reduce breakouts, redness, and provides soothing and calmness to the skin. It also aids in regulating the skin’s oil as it decreases sebum production, so would be helpful for those prone to excessively oily skin.

Dryness, Eczema, Psoriasis

The same anti-inflammatory properties in CBD alleviate dry skin, eczema and psoriasis along with its associated pains. Because hemp seed oil is rich in omega-6 acids, it is a good match when mixed with CBD oil to treat and nourish irritated skin while maintaining moisture.

Anti-Aging and Brightening

CBD is also a powerful anti-aging compound as it is rich with antioxidants, aiding in diminishing wrinkles and dullness. Antioxidants help stabilize molecules prone to damage, and CBD further helps counteract such damage from free radicals, which are unstable molecules that build up and damage the skin over time. This anti-aging backed by its skin nourishment and moisturization all comes together to promote the youthfulness and appearance of healthy skin.

How can it be used?

CBD oils can be taken topically and directly on the skin with a dropper. While there is a wide variety of popular CBD-infused products already available on the market, you can create your own CBD-infused product and make it part of your daily routine by mixing CBD oil with any of your other favourite beauty and skin care products that you already have at home!

Products already containing retinol and vitamin C are ideal as they are proven anti-aging agents, so if you already have a go-to serum, sunscreen, or moisturizer that are rich with these ingredients, you can further supplement and enhance the effects by infusing with your choice of CBD oil!

For fans of face masks or natural cleansers, products like Mary’s Medibles CBD Honey Tears, which contains only pure CBD and Manuka honey, would be the perfect CBD product to infuse with a night time mask or morning face cleanse as honey is rich in antioxidants, is a natural skin protectant, and it opens up and cleanses pores!

How do I know which CBD oil to use?

CBD oils are available in three different forms:

CBD isolates: These are the purest form of CBD concentrates, as they contain no other cannabinoids or active cannabis compounds such as flavonoids (primarily responsible for plant colouration, though also posses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties) or terpenes (aromatic oils of the cannabis plant).
Full spectrum CBD: Full spectrum oils like Miss Envy’s CBD Rick Simpson Oil contain all naturally occurring ingredients or phytochemicals in the cannabis plant from extraction, like terpenes and other cannabinoids, so they often include traces of THC.
Broad spectrum CBD: Like the above, broad spectrum oils still contain the full spectrum of cannabinoids but do not contain any traces of THC.

For a daily skincare regimen, a pure CBD isolate to infuse with your other natural, fragrance-free beauty products is always a safe choice! If you are looking for a bit of an aromatic kick, the broad spectrum CBD which contain terpenes and essential oils will add some flavour to beauty products that need a little extra oomph! If there are other uses for cannabinoids that you are interested in trying out beyond skin care, perhaps the full spectrum concentrates are more up your alley. To determine which CBD oil type works best for you, it all really depends on your unique skin type and the skin care concerns you have!

Is CBD safe to use?

Absolutely. The legalization marijauna throughout North America has allowed for more studies on the compound, and as more research is being done on CBD, more benefits to the cannabinoid are being found and its safety is being attested to by health care professionals and scientific researchers at a growing rate. That being said, those with liver disease ought to consult with their doctor due to CBD affecting enzyme levels. Those pregnant and breastfeeding should also avoid usage due to potential effects on baby development. Side effects for general usage may include dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, though severity can vary between each person. Of course, products readily available on the market would have undergone tests for safety and usage, though it is still always best to be safe and do your research in order to see which types of CBD oils would work best for you and your skin’s needs!

How To Make CBD Oil At Home

Even though it’s easy to buy marijuana online nowadays, some users prefer to use CBD products. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that can be found in many strains of cannabis to different extents. Although some people simply smoke weed to get the effects of CBD, many people prefer to use pure CBD products such as CBD Oil. You can even make CBD Oil at home.

Hemp is often used to make CBD products, especially as it contains high levels of CBD and only trace levels of THC. As such, CBD is often extracted from Hemp Flower for use in products such as CBD Oil. While CBD can also be extracted from Cannabis Flower, you’ll also get much higher levels of THC which may ruin the purpose of making CBD Oil.

CBD Oil is now commonly found in many stores and can also be bought online. However, if you need a fun D.I.Y. project or even want to control the flavor and potency of your CBD Oil, you can make it right at home. You’ll need to grab a few things first but, once you have what you need, making CBD Oil is surprisingly straightforward. Here’s a guide on how to make CBD Oil at home.

What Exactly Is CBD Oil?

Cannabis plants contain various chemicals that can interact with your body in various ways when consumed. Most people associate cannabis with THC, the psychoactive chemical known for producing a strong euphoric high as well as having various therapeutic effects on the body. However, another one of the most prominent cannabinoids is CBD.

CBD is non-psychoactive and, as such, it won’t make you high when consumed. However, CBD products are still highly useful, especially for users who want to avoid the psychoactive effects of CBD while still benefiting from consuming cannabinoids. Studies show that CBD is commonly used for various reasons and consumers regularly find it helpful.

You might have noticed that CBD products have become extremely popular over the past few years. Many people use these as an alternative to medical cannabis when they want to avoid the effects of THC- especially as CBD is very safe to use. You can take regular high doses of CBD without worrying about addiction, overdose, or severe side effects. Many users even use it as a natural daily supplement.

It’s now easier than ever to buy CBD Oil and it can be used in various ways. The quickest and easiest way to use it is to apply it under your tongue, but it can also be added to foods, mixed into drinks, or even infused into other products such as CBD Topicals and Vape Juices. While buying CBD Oil is always an option, you might even want to try making CBD Oil yourself.

Why Make CBD Oil Yourself?

If you enjoy using CBD Oil and you want a fun D.I.Y. project you can try at home, you might want to try making CBD Oil. Although you’ll need to buy certain things, including Hemp Flower, you’ll be surprised at just how easy it is to make effective CBD Oil in the comfort of your home. You’ll also have the opportunity to customize your CBD Oil as you wish.

Making CBD Oil at home helps you understand the product better and you’ll end up with some pretty nice results. While your homemade CBD Oil might not be quite as pure and high-quality as professionally-made CBD Oil, it’s a cost-effective option and it’s not too hard to end up with satisfying CBD Oil.

You can customize your homemade CBD Oil with the flavorings you want and make it as potent as you like. As such, you can make your ideal CBD product without too much difficulty. Plus, once you have your homemade CBD Oil, you can also use it to create other homemade CBD products such as CBD Edibles and CBD Topicals.

There’s a fair amount of time and effort involved and you will have to buy certain things before you can make CBD Oil. However, there are multiple methods to make CBD Oil at home and both are straightforward enough for anyone to carry out. You can make as much as you want and you’ll have a nice stash of CBD Oil for whenever you need it.

What You’ll Need To Make CBD Oil At Home

Before you can start making your CBD Oil, you’ll need to make sure you have a few things first. Making CBD Oil generally only requires a few things- Hemp or Cannabis Flower, a carrier oil (such as MCT Oil), and some equipment for extracting and storing your CBD Oil. You might also want to add flavorings to your CBD Oil.

There are two main options for what to extract your CBD from. If you don’t mind getting the effects of both THC and CBD, you can extract CBD Oil from a high-CBD strain of weed. CBD René is one example- this strain contains a 1:1 ratio of THC to CBD, meaning you’ll get plenty of CBD along with a kick of psychoactive effects.

If you purely want the effects of CBD without any psychoactive effects, then you’ll need to use Hemp Flower. Fortunately, hemp is widely available and you can find Hemp Flower in certain stores or online. You can also grow hemp yourself, but buying it saves you a lot of time and hassle.

As for carrier oils, Coconut Oil or MCT Oil are generally the best options. Cannabinoids such as CBD need to bind to fats before they can be consumed. Since Coconut Oil is high in healthy fatty acids, this makes it perfect for binding with CBD. You can also use MCT Oil- this is a byproduct of Coconut Oil that’s high in Medium Chain Triglycerides, making it perfect for using as a carrier oil for CBD.

The equipment you’ll need depends on the method you’re using to make CBD Oil. The best method for beginners is the oil method. For this, you’ll simply need a double boiler and some containers for your CBD Oil, as well as your Hemp Flower and carrier oil. You can also make CBD Oil with alcohol, which will require you also pick up some high-proof alcohol (99.5% ethanol works well).

How To Decarboxylate Hemp Flower

There’s another small step you’ll need to handle before you make CBD Oil- decarboxylating your Hemp Flower. Without decarboxylation, your Hemp Flower will be full of CBDA. It needs to be heated at low heat for a long time to activate the CBD. Once the CBD is active, it can then be bound to the fats in oil and easily absorbed into the body.

Decarboxylating your Hemp Flower is easy. Preheat your oven to around 220°F and spread some buds across a baking tray covered in parchment paper. Try to keep the buds spread apart from each other. Place the tray in the oven for around 90-120 minutes and shake it occasionally to ensure the buds are heated evenly. After this, the CBD in your Hemp Flower will be active.

The same applies to decarboxylating Cannabis Flower, although you may want to increase the temperature. Cannabis Flower is usually decarboxylated at around 245°F for 30-40 minutes to activate the THC. However, you may still want to use a lower temperature and more time to activate more CBD and less THC.

How To Make CBD Oil At Home (Oil Method)

After getting everything you need and decarboxylating your hemp, you can make CBD Oil pretty easily. While there are multiple ways to make CBD Oil at home, the oil method is usually the best option. This method involves binding your CBD with a carrier oil using a double boiler. Here’s a guide on how to do it.

What You’ll Need:

Decarboxylated Hemp Flower (or High-CBD Cannabis Flower)
Coconut Oil (or MCT Oil)
A double boiler
A baking tray and parchment paper
A cheesecloth or strainer
A glass container for storing your CBD Oil

Step 1: The first step is to heat some water in your double boiler until it’s simmering without boiling. If you don’t have a regular boiler, you can create one by simply using a pot and fitting a glass bowl inside. If you haven’t already, make sure you’ve decarboxylated and ground your Hemp Flower.

Step 2: Once your water is simmering, add your ground hemp to the top part of your double boiler and cover it with a carrier oil. Coconut Oil works especially well as a carrier oil, but MCT Oil and other types of oils also work. It’s best to use 16oz of oil for each ounce of hemp you’re using.

Step 3: Mix your ground hemp and oil and allow it to simmer for around 2-3 hours at low heat. You’ll want to avoid raising the heat too high as this can degrade the CBD. During this process, the CBD from the hemp will bind to the fats in your carrier oil, giving you potent CBD Oil. You might also want to add a few drops of flavor using flavor concentrates or essential oils.

Step 4: When your hemp starts to turn brownish-green, your CBD Oil is ready. Take a clean glass container (such as a Mason jar) and apply a cheesecloth or strainer over the top before straining your CBD Oil into the container. Once you’ve separated the oil from the hemp, seal your container and store it in a cool, dry place.

How To Make CBD Oil At Home (Alcohol Method)

You can also make CBD Oil at home by mixing your Hemp Flower with high-proof alcohol then evaporating the alcohol. This method is also fairly quick and easy but you must make sure you have food-quality ethanol as some have harmful contaminants that can make your CBD Oil unsafe. Here’s how to make CBD Oil using the alcohol method.

What You’ll Need:

Decarboxylated Hemp Flower (or High-CBD Cannabis Flower)
High-proof alcohol (99.5% ethanol works well)
A double boiler
A straining bag or sieve
A glass container for storing your CBD Oil

Step 1: Before you start, make sure you’ve decarboxylated your Hemp Flower if you haven’t already. You should also grind your Hemp Flower into small pieces. Add your ground hemp to a ceramic or glass bowl and cover it with alcohol. Stir together for at least 6 minutes- this process will extract the CBD Oil from your hemp. You can also use a spoon to collect the resin from your bowl.

Step 2: Use your straining bag or sieve to strain as much CBD extract from the bowl as possible. The goal is to filter out the solvents while extracting your CBD Oil. Repeat this process as many times as you want to extract as much as possible.

Step 3: Place a double boiler on low heat. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can make one by putting a bowl inside a pot of water. Once the water begins to simmer, add your extracted oil to the top part of your double boiler. This will help purge the alcohol to leave you with CBD Oil.

Step 4: After evaporating the alcohol from your oil, your CBD Oil is ready. Strain it into a glass container such as a Mason jar. Seal your container and keep it in a cool, dry place until you’re ready to use it.

Conclusion

Using CBD Oil is one of the best ways to consume cannabidiol. You can use it either by applying it under your tongue for 30-90 seconds, adding it to foods, or mixing it with other liquid products. You can make CBD Oil at home either by mixing it with a carrier oil or extracting it using alcohol. Either way, you’ll end up with a nice stash of homemade CBD Oil.

Once you’ve made your CBD Oil you can use it however you want. Some people take a daily dose of CBD oil under their tongue while others prefer to add it to tea, coffee, or smoothies. You can even use CBD Oil to make other CBD products such as CBD Topicals or Vape Juices. However, if you want to skip the process of making CBD Oil altogether, you can buy high-quality CBD products online at GreenSociety.

CBD Tincture for Beginners

If you’re looking for a way to get the effects and benefits of cannabinoids, then marijuana isn’t your only option. While some users enjoy the powerful psychoactive effects of the THC in marijuana, others prefer to avoid getting high while still getting calming and soothing benefits. For these users, CBD Tincture is a fantastic option.

CBD is short for cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that can be found in many strains of cannabis. Although you can find CBD in various strains of weed, it’s usually extracted from hemp for use in pure CBD products. Some of these products include CBD Edibles, Topicals, and Capsules, but CBD Tincture is arguably the best choice for first-time users. Here’s a guide on CBD Tincture for beginners.

What Is CBD Tincture?

CBD Tincture is one of the many pure cannabidiol products available today. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis that’s often used as an alternative to medical cannabis for users who wish to avoid the psychoactive effects and unpleasant side effects of THC.

Studies on cannabidiol users show that it can be used for various purposes and users generally only experience minor side effects. Although there are various choices of products, CBD Tincture is usually the most commonly used. CBD Tincture is a liquid CBD product that comes in a bottle with a dropper. It can be used by applying the oil under your tongue, adding it to your food, or mixing it into drinks.

It’s particularly popular as it’s effective, easy-to-use, and can be consumed and absorbed into your system within minutes. While you can take a single dose if you want, most people take a regular daily dose of CBD Tincture to get the benefits of cannabidiol safely and efficiently.

Why Use CBD Tincture?

CBD doesn’t get you high or give you the powerful mentally euphoric and physically sedating effects that marijuana gives you. However, while users looking to get high will want to avoid CBD, it’s the best option for those who want to consume cannabinoids without the potentially uncomfortable effects of THC.

Those who want a daily source of cannabidiol will find CBD Tincture especially useful. It only takes a few minutes to consume and it’s also absorbed into your body swiftly and effectively. Those who don’t enjoy taking CBD Tincture under their tongue can even add it to foods or drinks for an enjoyable kick of cannabidiol.

The fact that CBD Tincture comes in a bottle with a dropper also makes it great for those who want a quick and discreet way to get a dose of CBD. You can keep a bottle in your medicine cabinet, your bag, your car, or pretty much anywhere else. While the effects are subtle, many people find that CBD provides soothing and comforting effects over time that make it great for many purposes.

How To Use CBD Tincture

Taking CBD Tincture is easy and won’t take long at all. It comes in a bottle with a dropper that makes it easy to measure your desired dose. While you can simply put the oil in your mouth and swallow it, the most effective method of consumption is to apply CBD Tincture under your tongue so you can absorb it sublingually.

To take CBD Tincture under your tongue, apply the oil under your tongue and hold it there for at least a minute or two. The cannabidiol will be absorbed into your system swiftly where it can then interact with cannabinoid receptors in your body. Cannabidiol usually only takes around 20-30 minutes to be absorbed into your system this way.

Alternatively, you can add CBD Tincture to your food in many ways. It mixes well with liquid foods such as soups, sauces, and salad dressings, but you can also simply apply some on top of any snack or meal. Mixing CBD Tincture into drinks is even easier- it mixes well with tea, coffee, smoothies, and even cocktails.

Where To Buy CBD Tincture

CBD Tincture is now widely available in cannabis stores, hemp stores, and even some health stores and grocery stores. However, the best way to get high-quality CBD Tincture is to buy it online. You can buy it in many brands and quantities and have it delivered directly to your doorstep.

You can buy CBD Tinctures online from GreenSociety in many forms. Popular choices include Daily CBD Calm Tinctures, Faded Cannabis Co. Halley’s Comet Tinctures, and Miss Envy CBD Oil Tinctures. All of these can work effectively for your needs whether you prefer to take them under the tongue or add them to foods and drinks.

Alternatives To CBD Tincture

While CBD Tincture is a great option for anyone looking to use CBD regularly, you might also want to consider some of the alternatives. CBD is now available to use in many forms, and all of these products can work effectively. Here are some of the best alternatives to CBD Tinctures.

CBD Capsules – If you need an even more convenient way to take CBD daily, CBD Capsules are perfect for you. Each capsule gives you a fixed dose of cannabidiol, making it easy to take your dose simply by swallowing a capsule or two and washing it down with some water.

CBD Edibles – CBD Edibles offer another extremely enjoyable way to use cannabidiol. These are food products infused with CBD and they’re available in many forms. Whether you prefer gummies or baked goods, you can find CBD Edibles that are ideal for you, and using them is as easy as eating a serving.

CBD Vapes – If you enjoy the experience of vaping, you can also use CBD Vapes. CBD Vape Oils and CBD Vape Cartridges can be used with compatible vape devices for a calming and flavorful CBD vaping experience.

Conclusion

CBD Tinctures are one of the best types of products for users who want to consume cannabidiol. Taking them is as simple as applying the oil under your tongue and waiting a couple of minutes for the cannabidiol to absorb into your system. You can buy CBD Tinctures online along with various other CBD and cannabis products at GreenSociety.

THC Infused Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

There are many ways to get more out of your weed, such as using a Bong or extracting potent cannabis concentrates. However, one of the most enjoyable ways to use weed is by cooking it into tasty marijuana edibles. And if you’re looking for a delicious marijuana recipe for quarantine, you’ll love this THC infused Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.

Making marijuana cookies is fun, rewarding, and surprisingly easy. If you’re used to making regular chocolate chip cookies, this isn’t much difference- except you’ll be using cannabis butter along with regular butter. You have a few steps to take but you can end up with an impressive batch of cookies that give you a sensational high both for medical and recreational purposes. Here’s a guide on how to make THC infused Chocolate Chip Cookies.

How To Decarboxylate Your Weed

The first step to making any kind of marijuana edibles is to decarboxylate your weed. Decarboxylation happens when you heat weed at low heat for around 40 minutes. This process activates the THC in your weed so that you can infuse it into fat-based ingredients, such as cannabis butter. The process is simple and you’ll only need a baking tray, some parchment paper, and a stash of weed.

You can use any kind of weed you want and the food you make will be infused with the effects of your chosen strain. Indica strains are ideal for users who want a relaxing and soothing high whereas sativa strains are better known for their mentally stimulating properties. Hybrid strains give you a mix of both indica and sativa effects.

Once you have your weed preheat your oven to 245°F cover a baking tray with parchment paper and spread some buds out across it. It’s best to use around 7-10 grams, but you can use more if you want. Heat the buds for 30-40 minutes and shake the tray occasionally. Once the time is up, you can remove the tray and grind your buds they’ve cooled down.

How To Make Cannabis Butter

Making cannabis butter is the best way to make cannabis cookies, along with various other types of marijuana edibles. The THC in weed binds to the fats in butter, resulting in a highly potent condiment that can be used in various ways. You’ll need some regular butter along with your decarboxylated weed, as well as a saucepan, cheesecloth, and a clean glass container.

Start by filling your saucepan with one cup of butter and one cup of water for every 7-10 grams of weed you plan to use. Leave the saucepan on medium heat and wait for the butter to melt into the water.

After the butter has melted, stir it into the water and reduce the heat to a low temperature (around 160-180ºF). You can now add your ground and decarboxylated cannabis buds. Stir them into the mixture and leave it to simmer for around 2-3 hours. It’s important to ensure your mixture doesn’t boil as this can ruin the cannabis.

Your cannabis butter should be ready after around 2-3 hours of simmering. At this point, you can strain it into a sealed glass jar or container. Cover your container using a cheesecloth and strain the liquid through slowly to separate it from any leftover weed. Seal the container and put it in the fridge to harden.

Once your cannabis butter hardens, simply stick a knife through the middle to separate it and pour out any excess water. Your cannabis butter is now ready to use in all kinds of delicious marijuana recipes.

Now it’s time to make THC infused Chocolate Chip Cookies. This recipe is straightforward enough for anyone to follow- you don’t have to know all about cannabis or be a master cook. You can also customize it with different flavors and toppings if you like. Here’s how to make them.

Ingredients:

1 cup of cannabis butter
2 eggs
3 cups of flour
1 cup of brown sugar
1 cup of white sugar
1 teaspoon of baking soda
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
½ teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of hot water
3 cups of chocolate chips

Before you start making your marijuana cookies, preheat your oven to 350ºF and cover a baking tray with parchment paper. Next, take a large bowl and combine your cannabis butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat your eggs into the mixture slowly and blend all ingredients thoroughly.

Put your baking soda in a cup of hot water to dissolve it and add it to the mixture along with your vanilla extract. Stir everything together. Now, take a smaller bowl to combine your flour and salt. Add them to the larger mixture and continue to whisk until everything is thoroughly blended. Your cookie mix is more or less ready- just add your chocolate chips and fold them in. You can also add other fillings if you like.

Take your baking tray and start adding large spoonfuls of your mixture. Spread them out so that they have enough space to flatten. This recipe should give you around 24 spoonfuls, although you may want more or less depending on how big and potent you want your cookies to be.

Now, simply place your tray in the oven and allow your cookies to bake for around 10 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the edges of your cookies start turning brown. Take the baking tray out of the oven and allow your cookies to cool before storing them in a container. You now have a tasty stash of THC cookies to eat whenever you want.

Conclusion

Infusing chocolate chip cookies with THC is one of the best ways to enjoy cannabis. However, remember to use them sensibly. Marijuana edibles take anywhere from 30-90 minutes to kick in but the effects can last for as long as 4-12 hours. If you’ve never tried edibles before, you might want to start with half a cookie to get used to the effects.

Making these cookies is a rewarding D.I.Y. project. However, you don’t have to go to the hassle of baking every time you want to try some marijuana edibles- you can simply buy marijuana edibles online. You can also find various marijuana strains, concentrates, tinctures, and more, all available for delivery from Green Society.

Marijuana Tea Benefits, Effects, Recipe & Dosages

Want an exciting new way to enjoy marijuana? Try Marijuana Tea. Much like Edibles, Marijuana Tea is a THC-infused beverage that can make you high for hours on end. Although it’ll take a while for the effects to kick in, they’ll be much stronger and longer-lasting than smoking or vaping weed.

There are many types of Marijuana Tea. You can buy THC and CBD tea mixes online in a variety of options. You can also simply make Marijuana Tea yourself by using weed, cannabis butter or THC Tincture. So how should you make it and what should you expect from Marijuana Tea? Here’s a guide to Marijuana Tea benefits, effects, recipes, and dosages.

How Does Marijuana Tea Work?

You can use all kinds of marijuana-infused foods and beverages nowadays. For instance, many users use Marijuana Edibles, which come in all kinds of forms from gummies to chocolate bars to baked goods. Marijuana Tea is another great option for those who want to consume THC orally.

When you consume marijuana orally, it works a little differently than it would if you inhaled it. The cannabinoids must first be digested into your system before you feel any effects. When THC is digested, it’s also converted by your liver into a stronger form of the chemical known as 11-hydroxy-THC. As such, Marijuana Tea gives you a particularly powerful high.

When you drink Marijuana Tea, you’ll usually have to wait a while before you feel the effects. The time you have to wait can depend on various factors, such as the speed of your metabolism and your tolerance. Generally, it takes 30-90 minutes for the effects of orally-consumed THC to kick in. However, once it does, you’ll experience a strong high that lasts anywhere from 4-12 hours.

Marijuana Tea Effects

Although you may have to wait a while to feel high after drinking Marijuana Tea, the effects are worth it. Marijuana Tea gives you a hard-hitting high that lasts for many hours- sometimes as long as 12 hours. The effects can vary, although you can rely on Marijuana Tea to give you a sensational high.

The effects you’ll get depends on the kind of marijuana strain you use. You’ll get more or less the same effects you’d get from smoking the same strain, only these effects will be much stronger. That means you can brew Marijuana Tea with an indica strain for relaxing effects, a sativa strain for uplifting effects or a hybrid strain for a mix of both.

Generally, you can expect Marijuana Tea to boost your mood, making you feel happy and euphoric. It’s also likely to stimulate your mind- heightening your senses to make every kind of activity seem more fun and interesting. Meanwhile, it’ll soothe your entire body, making it ideal for evening relaxation and great for helping you sleep.

Marijuana Tea Benefits

Marijuana Tea isn’t just good for recreational users- it can also be great for medical use. While the effects may be a bit overwhelming for some users, those looking for something to give them stronger relief than smoking weed can benefit greatly from the effects of Marijuana Tea.

Users dealing with physical ailments such as chronic pain and inflammation will find the effects of Marijuana Tea especially helpful. Even a small dose of Marijuana Tea can soothe pain, aches, and strains for many hours. What’s more, the sedating effects can help counteract insomnia and other sleeping problems.

The mental effects are also helpful. Marijuana Tea can improve your mood and help counteract symptoms of chronic stress, depression, and anxiety. THC is also said to help protect the brain and ward off various physical and mental conditions, although it may also leave you feeling hungry.

Marijuana Tea Recipe

Making Marijuana Tea at home is fairly simple. Although there are many ways to make it, one of the easiest methods is to use ground weed. You can use any strain you want depending on the kind of effects you’re looking for. Here’s a Marijuana Tea recipe to help.

Ingredients:

1 gram of weed
1 teabag
1 tablespoon of coconut oil

Step 1: Start by grinding your weed using a weed grinder. This will make it easier to infuse into the tea. Pour 4 cups of water and a tablespoon of coconut oil into a pot and leave it to boil.

Step 2: Once your pot is boiling and your coconut oil has dissolved, reduce it to low heat before adding your weed. This will ensure you activate the THC in your weed without burning it. Once the pot has cooled down, add your gram of ground weed.

Step 3: After leaving the pot to simmer for around 15 minutes, you can remove it from the heat and strain it into a mug. Now, it’s time to infuse it with tea. You can use any kind of teabag you want or use loose leaf tea with a tea infuser. Stir it well and add flavorings such as honey, ginger, and cinnamon if you want. Your Marijuana Tea is now ready to drink.

Dosages For Marijuana Tea

Since Marijuana Tea gives you much stronger effects than smoking or vaping weed, it’s important to be careful when it comes to dosages. If you’re making Marijuana Tea by boiling ground weed into tea, then a gram of weed should be enough to give you a good high without being too overwhelming. If it’s too strong, then try using half a gram or less next time.

You can also make Marijuana Tea by infusing tea with THC Tincture. This method is extra simple and makes it easy to determine your exact dosage. Usually, a dose of around 10-20mg of THC is plenty. You may want to increase or reduce the dosage depending on whether the effects are too strong or weak for you.

Alternatively, you can buy Marijuana Tea online. These readymade tea mixes make it easy to brew up a delicious and refreshing cup of Marijuana Tea. You can check the packaging for dosage recommendations, but again, 10-20mg of THC is usually enough for most users.

Conclusion

Drinking Marijuana Tea is a powerful and refreshing way to get the effects of THC. Although it can take a couple of hours to kick in, the effects are particularly strong and can last for hours on end.

There are many ways to make and customize Marijuana Tea and whether you’re looking for an enjoyable recreational high or potent medical benefits, Marijuana Tea can help. You can buy everything you need for Marijuana Tea online at GreenSociety.io.

Hash vs Weed: What’s the Difference?

It’s amazing just how many ways you can get the effects of marijuana these days. But while some users may prefer handy cannabis-infused products such as Tinctures and Edibles, two of the most traditional and popular cannabis products are Hash and Weed. So Hash vs Weed: what’s the difference?

In short, weed refers to the dried and cured flowers harvested from marijuana plants. You might also know it as a bud, kush or simply marijuana. Hash is a cannabis concentrate made by extracting the resin from weed and compressing it into a solid, high-THC block. Both of these products can be beneficial and both can be used in various ways. Here’s a guide to Hash vs Weed.

Hash vs Weed: What’s the Difference?

Hash and Weed are both marijuana products that have been around for a very long time. Most users are more than familiar with weed- the dried and cured buds of marijuana that you can easily smoke or vape. However, Hash or Hashish is even more popular in some cultures and dates back to 12th century Egypt.

Weed is made by harvesting the flowers of cannabis plants, drying them, and curing them. This results in a dry herbal product that’s easy to smoke or vaporize. Weed contains trichomes full of THC and other cannabinoids and terpenes which are released when it’s subjected to high heat. This is why smoking or vaping weed gets you high.

Users looking for something stronger than weed will enjoy Hash. Hash is made by extracting the trichomes of weed and compressing them into a solid, dark block of resin. There are many methods of making Hash from simply rubbing resin together with your hands to using dry ice to freeze and separate the trichomes from marijuana buds. Whichever way, you end up with a powerful cannabis concentrate.

These products differ significantly in their texture. Hash is brown and solid and needs to be heated before being crumbled into a joint, bowl or vaporizer. Weed is simply a dry herbal product that’s easy to grind for smoking or vaping purposes. However, the main difference is how potent they are. While strains of weed usually contain around 15-25% THC, Hash can contain as high as 60-80% THC.

How To Use Hash

If you want potent THC effects, then Hash is a great option. Even a small amount of Hash contains a great deal of THC, meaning you only need to use a pinch of Hash for a strong high. The effects you’ll get depend on the strain and type of Hash. Generally, you’ll experience the same kind of effects you would from the strain of weed it’s extracted from- only stronger.

One of the most common ways to use Hash is to mix it into a joint. When you heat Hash, it becomes soft and pliable, allowing you to crumble it into small pieces. You may want to mix Hash with weed or tobacco in a joint to ensure it burns more easily.

Alternatively, you can also smoke Hash in a Pipe or Bong. Again, you should crumble it up first and you may want to mix it with weed or tobacco for easier burning. Smoking with a Pipe or Bong usually gives you much stronger hits, so be careful.

Vaporizing Hash is another great option, although you’ll need a Vape Pen that’s compatible with Hash. This usually involves placing a small dab of Hash in the chamber of your vaporizer, turning it on, and taking a long, smooth hit when it’s ready. You might want to add some hemp fiber to the bottom of your chamber to avoid the Hash sticking.

How To Use Weed

Although Hash is stronger, many users still prefer to use weed. Weed costs much less per-gram and, although Hash may contain higher levels of concentrated THC, you can still find potent strains of weed and have more control over how high you get. Plus, there are plenty of easy ways to use weed.

Rolling weed into a joint is simple. You’ll need to grind your weed first to ensure that it burns smoothly. You can then place your ground weed in the middle of a rolling paper with a crutch at the edge and roll it into a satisfying cone. Weed burns well in a joint and you may even want to mix a couple of strains for unique effects.

Smoking weed in a Pipe or Bong is even simpler. Just place a small amount in your bowl, light, and inhale. While you don’t necessarily need to grind your weed before smoking it in a Pipe or Bong, ground weed usually burns easier and gives you smoother hits.

Vaporizing weed is arguably the best option- one study even found that vaping cannabis produces stronger effects than smoking it. You’ll need a Dry Herb Vape Pen but once you have one, it’s as simple as adding some weed to the chamber and turning it on.

Where To Buy Hash And Weed

Whether you prefer the smooth effects of weed or the potency of Hash, you can buy them both online. GreenSociety.io provides a massive selection of marijuana products, including plenty of different strains of weed and many types of Hash.

When it comes to buying weed, indica strains are generally considered the best choice for relaxing effects whereas sativa strains are more energizing and stimulating. If you want a mix of indica and sativa effects, hybrid strains are ideal for you.

Hash can also be found in many different strains. There are also various types of Hash, such as Afghani Hash, Camel Hash, and Elephant Hash. These often differ slightly in terms of texture and potency, but all of them can give you a phenomenal high.

Conclusion

So Hash vs Weed: what’s the difference? While weed comes from the dried and cured flowers of marijuana plants, Hash is a concentrated product made by extracting and compressing the THC-rich trichomes of weed.

Hash is usually better if you want potent THC effects, but many users find using weed more convenient. Whichever way, you have plenty of options to choose from and you can find weed, Hash, and various other cannabis products online at GreenSociety.io.

8 Steps to Grow Awesome Indica Marijuana

Stunning Indica Marijuana If you’re a marijuana user and want a fun D.I.Y. project, then try growing marijuana at home. Not only is buying marijuana now legal in Canada, but you can also grow up to four marijuana plants at a time either indoors or outdoors. There are some restrictions in certain provinces and you’ll need to keep your plants out of public view, but most adult users will be able to grow plenty of weed.

There are tons of choices when it comes to growing marijuana. You can find seeds for pretty much any kind of strain. But while sativa strains are popular choices for many users, it’s best to grow indica marijuana if you’re a beginner. Indica strains are quicker and easier to grow than sativa strains and are also better-suited to indoor growing, especially during winter.

Although many people now successfully grow weed at home, it’s quite an intensive task. You’ll need to invest in some growing equipment and you’ll also need to invest a few months into growing your plants. However, once you get the hang of growing, you’ll find it easy to create top-quality indica marijuana right at home. Here are eight steps to grow awesome indica marijuana.

Step 1: Choose Your Strain

The first step for growing awesome indica marijuana is to pick a strain. While sativa strains are known for giving you a stimulating head high, indica strains are more known for their deeply relaxing physical effects. However, each indica strain differs slightly when it comes to aroma, taste, and effects.

You might want to pick based on strains you enjoy smoking or strains you enjoy the flavor of. However, strains also differ in their growing attributes. Some indica strains are easier to grow than others and some mature faster. You might want to do your research before you pick a strain.

Fortunately, there are plenty of great indica and indica-dominant strains to choose from. Some popular options include Death Bubba, King Louis XIII, and Violator Kush.

Step 2: Pick Your Seeds

Along with picking which strain you want to grow, you’ll also need to pick which type of seeds you plan to use. There are a few different types of cannabis seeds such as regular seeds, feminized seeds, and autoflowering seeds. It helps to know the difference between these seeds so you can pick the best ones for your growing needs.

Regular seeds are best to be avoided if you’re planning to grow marijuana. Although regular seeds are easy to find as well as being the cheapest option, there’s a reason why most growers avoid these. Regular seeds have a 50/50 chance of being male or female. Only female plants produce marijuana, and growing male plants next to them can ruin their yields.

Feminized seeds are a much better option for marijuana growers. These are seeds that have been genetically enhanced to consistently grow female plants. As such, you’re guaranteed to grow female cannabis plants full of THC-rich marijuana. Although you’ll have to pay more for these than regular seeds, they’re worth it.

Autoflowering seeds are another option. These are cannabis indica or sativa seeds that have been crossbred with cannabis ruderalis seeds. Cannabis ruderalis is a type of cannabis with the ability to grow much faster than other types. As such, when these are crossed with feminized cannabis seeds, you’ll end up with marijuana plants that grow much faster than usual.

You can find different types of seeds for pretty much any strain- just look in seed banks or online. If you’re looking to grow marijuana successfully, make sure you either opt for feminized seeds or autoflowering feminized seeds. Both of these work well for beginners, although autoflowering seeds will grow faster at a higher cost.

Step 3: Choose Between Indoor or Outdoor Growing

There are two options when it comes to growing marijuana at home- indoors or outdoors. Both of these methods have pros and cons and the decision will often depend on the conditions and the kind of space you have available to you.

Outdoor growing is much more hands-off and requires less effort. With that said, you’ll have less control over your plants and may have to wait longer for them to grow. Your yields might not be impressive as they would be with indoor growing, but some users prefer outdoor growing as they find it easier.

However, outdoor growing requires good weather meaning you’ll have to wait until summer to grow indica strains outdoors. Fortunately, indoor growing is always an option. Indoor growing gives you control over the light, heat, and temperature your plants get. This makes it easy to simulate the perfect growing conditions for your plants, resulting in impressive yields of quality indica marijuana.

The drawback of indoor growing is that it requires a lot of investment both in terms of time and money. You’ll need to buy artificial lighting and air conditioning for your grow space along with nutrients and containers for your plants. You’ll also have to make sure your plants get the right growing conditions each day. It can be tedious, but it’s worth it in the end.

Step 4: Set Up Your Growing Space

To grow marijuana at home, you’ll need to set up a dedicated growing space. Not only will you need to set up your space with everything your plants need to grow, but you’ll also have to keep certain legal requirements in mind.

If you plan to grow indoors, you’ll need to buy some growing equipment. Artificial lighting such as HID lighting is best for growing plants indoors. You’ll also need some kind of air conditioning so you can control the temperature your plants get. You should also buy some plant containers and nutrients for your plants or nutrient-enriched super soil.

You’ll need to set up an enclosed space for your plants so that you can control the amount of light and heat they get. Indoor growers often use a tent, closet or even a box for growing. You can also buy all-in-one indoor growing kits. Although they’re expensive, they give you everything you need in one handy kit and save you a lot of hassle.

You don’t need as much equipment for outdoor growing, but you’ll still need a few things. Raised plant containers help avoid potential flooding and pests. You’ll also need nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and calcium. You can use nutrient-enriched water or soil to ensure your plants get these.

The law requires that you keep your plants out of public sight and out of reach of children. You might want to use a locked room if you grow indoors. You might also need to build a fence or enclosure around your plants if you grow outdoors. New Brunswick laws state you need an enclosure at least 1.52m high around your plants.

Step 5: Start Growing Your Indica Marijuana

Once you have your seeds and you’ve set up your growing space, it’s time to start the process of growing your marijuana. The process can vary slightly depending on how you choose to grow your plants, but there are a few important rules that apply.

First of all, it helps to germinate your seeds before you start growing them. You can do this by placing your seeds between a few damp paper towels on a dish and leaving them until the seeds begin to sprout. Once they sprout, carefully transfer them to pots full of soil using tweezers until the seedlings start to grow.

When your seedlings start to grow, you can transfer the pots to your growing space. During the beginning stages of growth, your plants will need a temperature of around 70-75°F and around 18 hours of light a day. They also need nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and calcium. If you aren’t using super soil, then add a nutrient mix to water and use it to water your plants.

Within around four to six weeks, your indica plants should begin to flower. They’ll need less light and heat at this point. It’s best to keep them at a temperature of around 65-70°F and give them around 12 hours of light a day. Within another couple of months or so, your plants should be ready to harvest.

Step 6: Check If Your Plants Are Ready To Harvest

Once your plants reach the final stage of growth, you should check them regularly to check whether they’re ready for harvest. You can check on the progress of your plants by assessing the trichomes- the crystal-like formations that grow on the hairs of the buds.

Initially, the trichomes of your buds will look transparent. You’ll know they’ve begun to develop THC when the trichomes become cloudy white or opaque and most of the hairs on your buds have darkened. This is a good time to start harvesting your plants.

You might want to wait longer to harvest your plants. Once the trichomes begin to turn amber, this means that THC is starting to break down and convert into CBN. If you’re looking to produce high-THC buds, then it’s best not to leave it any longer to harvest your weed.

Step 7: Dry And Cure Your Plants

The growing process doesn’t end when your plants are ready to harvest. Before you start using your marijuana, you’ll need to dry and cure them to maximize their quality as much as possible. Drying is important as you won’t be able to smoke your buds until they’re dry. It also prevents mold from growing on your weed. Curing brings out more of the potency and flavor of your buds.

Start by trimming away at the stems of your plants until you’re left with the buds. Place them on a drying rack in a room with a dehumidifier and keep it at a relative humidity of around 50-60%. Alternatively, you can keep them on the stems and hang them on a line.

Check on your buds regularly until they’re fully dry- this usually takes around four to ten days. It’s important to ensure your buds don’t have any moisture as this leaves them prone to degrading and growing mold or mildew.

Once your buds are dry, you can store them in clean glass containers such as Mason jars for curing. Curing is an optional process that involves storing your weed for a longer time to improve its quality. Keep your containers in a cool, dry place and open the containers each day for around 30 minutes to let any excess air out. Your buds should be good to smoke after 2 weeks, although you may want to leave them to cure for longer.

Step 8: Enjoy The Results

After enduring the growing, drying, and curing process, there’s nothing left to do but enjoy the fruits of your labor. Although the time it takes to grow and harvest your plants can vary, you can generally expect to end up with quality indica marijuana within a few months.

You can test out your new homegrown marijuana in various ways. You might want to grind your buds and roll them into a joint for smoking purposes. You can also test out your weed in a dry herb vaporizer to bring out more of the flavor. You can even cook it into cannabis butter to make tasty edibles.

Now you’ve gotten the hang of growing awesome indica marijuana, you can try it time and time again and end up with a nice stash of homegrown weed. Just make sure you obey your local laws and only grow up to four plants at a time.
