Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

As far as cannabis lotion, I took some bulk lotion and added cannabis oil decarbed with coconut oil, 1 gram per 4 ounces, blended with a whisk on a cordless drill. It helps with muscle and joint pain a little, but that's fine, I'll take what I can get, sometimes a little relief is enough. The lotion is unscented and the cannabis oil imparted a fairly strong aroma, which went away in 10-15 minutes. I tried a lotion with beeswax and found it to be too "waxy" as a moisturizer, but good as a heel balm.

I may disappear from this forum for a while, feeling kind of pissed about a mod deleting my posts. Appreciate guidance from posters and am puzzled about the mods, this seems like a good idea, having a forum to share ideas.

Well, that's a shame. I just found your thread on the Colorado Pain lotion. Looking forward to you perfecting that. Beeswax is quite hard when it's cooled down, a little goes a long way. I'll keep watching what you try. :thumb:

I am following his thread too.

I found Cocoa butter made a good consistency mixed with coconut oil. CoCoa butter I used had jojoba oil mixed with it. Can't recall exact measurements . 3 grams of CCO, Teaspoon each of Essential oils Camphor(smells like Vicks), peppermint and cinnamon. Thinking I used roughly 150ml of cocoa butter and 100ml of coconut oil(don't quote me on that). I know that it seems like a lot of essential oils but actually it was just right. The people that used it said it was just warm enough to be very soothing. I do not think I will use the cinnamon(made it borderline warm-hot) next time will replace it with Marjoram and maybe some lemongrass and Lavender. The DMSO sounds appealing also.

Has anyone heard from Cajuncelt or John in the last few days? There is a new member on the tacking oil thread pretty desperate for help with a dad who has been through the ringer with cancer and it continues.

If you hear from either one of them, can you ask them to pop over there to help if possible?

Thank you!

I did see your recipe but it had a lot of ingredients in it that I don't have. Maybe if I get to doing more of them I'll have to expand my options but for right now I just want to see if they work.
I Remember DMSO was a big thing in the late 80's or early 90's and had forgotten about it until I started searching topicals. It could be interesting.

For those of you not old enough to remember DMSO, it is a scolvent that pulls anything on the skin through the dermal layers and right to the affected area and It is an anti-inflammatory agent to boot.

One more CCO topical, but for the road (or anywhere really.)
I have been tossing around different ways to take CCO with me on vacation to an unfriendly state. This morning I thought of mixing CCO with BioFreeze in a roller bottle that I already have and it works great.
BioFreeze comes in a 3oz bottle. I removed the roller top (with a kitchen knife inserted between the ball and the side) and squeezed out the contents into a small metal container that I could put in a water bath. The flash point of BioFreeze is 95F so I didn't heat it much, but it didn't take much either. I added 30ml of DMSO and 1.35ml (1.5%) CCO. It mixed up nicely, not a liquid but yet everything was incorporated. While still warm I refilled the bottle and just popped the roller ball back in and smoothed the edges (from kitchen knife) and she's ready to roll.
Now I have a 3 oz bottle of Mentholated " SUPER MEDICATED" pain relief that shouldn't raise any eyebrows.
While cleaning up I did apply some excess on my back and shoulders and the initial impression is very good, I love the feeling of menthol on old joints, and if the DMSO pulls the cannabis into the sore, inflamed joints I'll be ready to go dancing.
I did just pick 1.5% CCO out of the blue.... don't know if it'll be too much or too little. I'm hoping it'll be like momma bear's porridge ....JUST RIGHT. I reduced the DMSO to 33% instead of 50% because yesterday I noticed the garlic smell/taste from it at 50%. It is still a work in progress but here is where I am at the moment.

BioFreeze 60ml
DMSO 30ml
GDP CCO 1.35ml

I don't think it will raise an eyebrow.

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

I have packets of Biofreeze here that were free samples. Wish they had given me the roller option.
Look forward to your overall impression with regular usage Beav. Thanks for the informational how-to!

Got an old roll on deodorant bottle? I really like BioFreeze even by itself so I am excited about this lil experiment:yahoo:
 
re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

Found Johnyoilseed!!! He just posted on the tacking tread. :) :peace:

Yep, I rerouted him from my grow thread. LOL Thanks for being "on the lookout" with us. :)

Hopefully the member in need will come back around. So sad to see them post and run, never to be heard from again. I hope that's not the case here.

Thank you Johnnyoilseedhowisthatoilmakinggoing?
 
re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

Bad cold (while tacking?) and bad lower back have had me depressed a little and laid up, but I'm still counting my blessings!!!

I ran that 151 Everclear through the still a second time and took it from 176 proof (first still run) to only 180 proof. I think it'll get harder to raise the proof any more. 180 proof is 90% alcohol and it pulls water from the air pretty fast, I think. It'll have to do.

:Namaste:

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge

Oh Dang John! I'm sorry about that cold.....you do have the option of shaving off the 'stache....

Hope you get better soon. That snuck in on that oil, wonder how it did that?
Tired, run down, not enough rest? GET SOME!

Thanks for the update on the still results. That's helpful to know.

I bet I have y'all beat on the facial hair. My beard is long enough now that I braid it to keep it outta the way for some things. I tie a .45 bullet at the bottom to keep it from flying around. My boss wants me to put colored beads in it. Lol.

I like the 45 idea but the beads sound kinda Mediterranean. I guess you can always change the radio station from Country Western to Reggae :ganjamon:
