Cannabis Salve - Will it make you high?

[yktind]

Hi All,

My Aunt has MS and I just finished a harvest. So I have a bunch of trim and what not. She has been having issues with her legs. I offered to make her a salve since I have heard good things... well from the internet.

Can you guys share some experiences with me? The strain I will be using is Skywalker OG.

Main concern here is I do not want it to cause any mental high. We both have day jobs and can't really be all stoned at work.

I Found this recipe: The only thing I won't be doing is grinding the trim and will be changing the cooking time (Which will be on low probably overnight) ... Although this is thinking about chlorophyll and the steps I usually do to make edible coconut oil.

Should I even be worried about treating the trim like I would for edibles and/ or hash making? That is gently.

Here is the recipe:

I don't believe topicals w/ mary jane can make you high.... I guess there are absorption points in your neck and wrist, that, i guess, can get you high, but I tried it w/ alcohol tinctures and felt no different.

Personally, I love mary jane salves. I get a lot of pain in my right knee and I made a lip balm salve w/ peppermint that was just awesome. I use burts bees products as the bases of all my salves and lotions.

it says 2to4 days? I wouldn't cook it that long. I wouldn't cook it in anything that i couldn't control the temperature. low med and high is not controlling temperature. you don't want it over 200 degrees Fahrenheit ever. plant terpens are very important along with other cannabinoids and high temps can destroy them. if you put a drop of water in the oil and it bubbles or starts popping then its too hot. you can make this in one hour. I would not cook it over 2 hours.

Okay So I made the Cannabis Salve last night.

Here is the basic recipe in case any one wants to try.
32 Oz Coconut Oil
2 Oz Cannabis Trim
4 Oz Beeswax (could probably do it with 3 oz)
2 Tbs Vitamin E
2 Tbs Eucalyptus Oil
2 Tbs Tea Tree Oil (Could probably do 1 Tbs, It has a very potent smell)
1 Tbs Lavender Oil

Night before. Set Crock pot on low add in all coconut oil and cannabis. I also add a little water to get better coverage. Cook this for 2 hours while stirring every once in a while. Strain and pour oil into some kind of container (I used a glass pitcher) place in the fridge overnight to allow coconut oil to solidify and separate from the water.



Next Day. Pull out coconut oil from fridge and scrape bottom of Coconut Oil puck (usually has some crud on it). Put the puck into the crock pot again on low (once the oil is hot I take the temp down to warm). Now 1 ounce at a time start adding the bees wax. I used 4 oz, you can certainly use more or less depending on the consistency that you are looking for.



How do I check consistency... Well, pour some of the mixture into a small cup and cool it. I used the freezer and fridge for this. You want to try to get close to room temp because this is what it will stay at.



Final steps: Now we can put our Vitamin E (which is our preservative) and other essential oils. Once everything is mixed we can start filling up our little 4 oz. mason jars. I used a scale to keep things consistent. Place jars in the fridge overnight and you are ready to rock.



Side Note: Try not to drop your lid into the mix... It is difficult to clean.

Awesome first run!Keep us updated on how well it works.

I used some last night for my neck and shoulders and it seemed to work. Although, I am attributing that to being fairly intoxicated and partial placebo effect.

I gave my aunt a 4 oz. jar and told her to keep me posted on rather or not there is a difference on her legs.

The only thing I would probably change in the recipe is the Tea tree oil from 2 tbs to 1 tbs. This stuff is very potent. Smells up the entire office. Other than that is actually pleasant. You get a mild cannabis smell that dissipates pretty quickly. Like 5 mins.

I have a few testers out right now will report back in a week or so.

I took 3.5oz olive oil in a glass bottle and heated it up in a pan of hot water not real hot 200f I pulled it out and shook it every so often until the oil was all infused. My dog has some dry spots on his elbows. it looks bad and no hair would grow in that spot so i started using it on him. Now it looks good cant even tell he had a problem hair is growing great.

So quick update. I usually take a 1/2 to a whole norco in the mornings. Haven't needed to take one today as of yet.

 

[Dr.Pecker]

How many times a day are you using it?

 

[qwizoking]

If you make it properly you can get really high (unfortunately nobody ever does).. has to be decarbed also, if not decarbed you won't get high but absorption is still there

 

[Dr.Pecker]

Thats why its heated

 

[qwizoking]

What's why its heated?
He didn't want to get high..
Decarbed or not most people don't make it correctly in proper carriers etc

 

[yktind]

How many times a day are you using it?

Just when needed. I used it maybe three times a day for 5 days. I feel pretty good. Even rubbed some on our dogs knee (blown ACL). Not sure if it reduced pain or not but he was quite calm after could've been the massage though.

I decarbed but didn't experience any high. I have also given out a few testers to older people who do not smoke cannabis and they also did not experience any high. This was preferred for our needs. I would like to know, how to properly make this if you wouldn't mind sharing.
