I've reworked these instructions and wanted to drop them here for you all to look over. If you see any shortcomings in my narrative, please speak up. We're close to nailing this one down to a finished piece. I've posted it in my blog as it is here, but that's easily edited.

pain creme

In my recent wanderings 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.

He makes some serious claims about what he's seen this creme heal. Here's the link to the original thread:

Pain creme. Using only2 grams. Used many times

The recipe's as basic as it gets; make a coconut oil extraction and add it to a simple beeswax creme base and whip it up. I made this recipe twice as strong. You control the strength of this topical by the amount of cannabis you add as well as the THC value of that plant material.

PAIN CREAM

Slow cook oil

- 4 grams of high THC buds
- 1/2 cup coconut oil

Cream

- 50 grams beeswax
- 100 ml grape seed oil
- 100 ml Cannabis/coconut oil

Equipment and supplies

- glass jar with lid for slow cooking in oven
- glass baking dish to set the jar on
- coffee filters
- funnel
- Pyrex dish
- pot for hot water bath to melt wax and cold water bath to cool bowl and cream
- wisk or electric mixer (I use a wisk)
- spatula
- storage jar (use the one I sent or one that size. It'll fit.)

Oil extraction

4 grams of the highest THC bud you can get, 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 4 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 would set it into a hot water bath and wait for it to liquefy. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Use a glass jar that can be placed in the oven at your lowest setting. Make sure the lid will be secure. You don't want it leaking when you shake it up.

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. I always go for 36. The lid gets very hot.

Every hour that I'm up I'll try to remember to give it a shake. I'm going for the 36-hr mark, shooting for potent. Then I'll strain and make the creme. I usually shake it about 20 times or so over the 36 hours.


Pain Cream: Finishing the job.

It cooked on low for a full 36 hours. The last day I think I shook it maybe six times through the course of the day. I strained it through an unbleached coffee filter. (I now use a piece of silkscreen silk to strain through, considering making a small bag of the silk.

Very gently but firmly, squeeze as much of the oil out as you can. This remaining amount can be run a second, or even a third time in fresh oil, but it won't be as potent. Alternatively, you can use the left-over plant material in edibles.

Be real careful as you do this not to tear the filter. This was why I went to the square of silk.

Making the cream

Gather up the ingredients for the cream base. One bar of beeswax is 28-30 grams. You'll need 50 grams for this recipe. That's 1 2/3 bars. This is a topical cream you're making for your own use. The carefully metered dose isn't really a concern.

50 grams of beeswax and 100 ml of grape seed oil melted together over a double boiler set-up. This would have gone faster if I'd shaved or grated the beeswax, but it took almost no time at all once the water was up to a boil.

DO NOT DO THIS IN THE JAR LIKE I DID HERE. Use a Pyrex bowl or something similar and pour the cream into the jar when you're done. You'll be whipping it up and I didn't whip up the batch I illustrated here.

On the left, the grape seed oil and beeswax mix. On the right, the deliciously fragrant coconut oil extraction. I'm thinking this is a great way to get terpenes and flavinoids into an oil. A long, slow cook. I always lick up any oil left in jars or on spoons or spatulas.... You get the drift. Lol!

Add 100 ml of the infused coconut oil and mix well. It set up beautifully in no time at all if you set the heated bowl into a cold water bath for a couple minutes. As soon as you have a skin forming on the bowl begin to whip it. Take it out of the cold water first for less sloppiness. Lol! Don't ask. Lol!

It should look like this when it sets. It'll be more liquid when you're done whipping air into it. I worked at it about ten minutes, I figure.

Pretty amazing stuff, considering how little bud material's called for. It's become a staple in my home pharmacy. I've every expectation that it'll work for you.

It makes a fabulous muscle relaxer. Rub it into the palms of your hands or the soles of your feet and feel the tense muscles throughout your body relax almost instantly. Members have used this in various potencies on everything you can think of, from burns to rashes to serious strains, always to surprisingly effective relief.

May this bring healing to your own home.
