In my wanderings today I found myself at an old thread on pain creme that intrigued me. A pain creme, made with a mere 2 grams of bud capable of healing diabetic ulcers. I had to try. It may be useful for psoriasis. The thread can be found here:
He makes some serious claims about what he's seen this creme heal. Well worth chasing down and reading.
The recipe's as basic as it gets; make a coconut oil extraction and add it to a simple beeswax creme base. I can do this.
Oil extraction
2 grams of bud, chopped fine, not powdery.
Turn the oven on the lowest setting.
Remove all but one rack. Place that about 3/4 of the way down.
Combine the 2 grams of prepared buds and 8 tablespoons of coconut oil. As you can see, it's hot enough in my apartment that the oil's liquid. If the oil was solid I could use 4 heaping tablespoons instead of the 8. Liquid form's easier to get a measured dose IMHO. Use a glass jar that can be placed in the oven at your lowest setting.
Close it up and shake vigorously.
Place it on a glass baking dish in the middle of the oven rack. Every hour, initially, give it a shake. After a few times you can back off the every hour to whenever it crosses your mind and it's convienient. Leave it in there for 24-36 hours.
Every hour that I'm up I'll give it a shake. I'm going for the 36-hr mark, shooting for potent. Then I'll strain and make the creme.
