Making Cannabis Honey at Home

Honey lasts forever and adding cannabis to the tincture may make the shelf life shorter but if sealed and stored properly can last for years. Buying it from a trusted retailer is the easiest way but if you want to get creative in the kitchen and whip up a batch with your chosen strain and local honey then this recipe is for you.

You’ll need these supplies:

• Canning jar with lid
• Pot
• 3.5 grams of chosen cannabis strain
• 1/2 cup of coconut oil
• Cheesecloth
• Strainer
• Bowl
• Mixer
• 11 oz of honey

Instructions:

1. Use a grinder or scissors to break cannabis into small bits.
2. Put the ground cannabis into the canning jar and pour the coconut oil over top.
3. Close the jar and put it aside.
4. Fill the pot with water so that when the jar is placed in it, water doesn’t touch the lid.
5. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer before adding your jar of cannabis and coconut oil. Leave the jar in the water for 2 hours.
6. Remove the jar from the pot and wait for a couple of minutes while your coconut oil concoction cools a bit.
7. Line your strainer with the cheesecloth and pour the contents of the jar into the bowl through your lined colander.
8. Slowly and gently squeeze any excess liquid into the bowl through the cheesecloth.
9. Take your cannabis-infused coconut oil and place it in the blender with your chosen honey.
10. Blend until fully mixed and then store in an airtight container.
11. Store in a cool, dry place and enjoy!

I have Cannabis Honey, Now What?

1. Make herbal aftershave: Daily run-ins with a razor can leave skin irritated, red, and tight. If this sounds familiar try applying cannabis-infused honey to the affected areas. Wait a few minutes and rinse off with cool water. This will leave your face feeling refreshed, and moisturized.
2. Get more from your workout: Mix your canna-honey with your water to add that extra boost to your workout. It helps prevent your muscles from getting sore and cramped and can help you reach that next level in your fitness routine.
3. Cure that cough: As we’re heading into flu season it’s unlikely you’ll be able to avoid all of the illnesses travelling around. When you feel a ticklish throat coming on make this all-natural cough syrup. This recipe is easy and effective, getting you back to yourself in no time. Simply add 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup of fresh ginger, 1/4 cup of marshmallow root, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon into a pot. Bring to a boil and then simmer until at least half of the water is gone then strain. While it’s still warm mix in lemon juice and your canna-honey. Store in the fridge.
4. Treat bad hangovers: If you had a glass of wine too many the night before and woke up needing relief to get you through the day then make yourself a hot cup of tea and add the canna-honey. The antioxidants and fructose help neutralize toxins and break down remaining alcohol.
5. Use canna-honey as a topical antibiotic: Simply put the infused honey directly onto the affected area so it can absorb the cad and reap the antibiotic benefits of the honey.
6. Make a healing face mask: If you’re like me I am always making different face masks with random ingredients I find around my house. This is the absolute best recipe to hydrate dry skin and transform your complexion into that of a glowing god or goddess. Mix 1 tablespoon of coconut oil with 1 tablespoon of infused honey and apply to the face. Leave on and relax for 20 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
7. Provides relief for allergy symptoms: Honey is a time-tested remedy for treating allergies and an added kick of cannabis only helps further.
8. Keep gingivitis at bay: Dab cannabis honey to your gum line daily to help promote mouth health. The honey kills bacteria and the cannabis helps it absorb into the bloodstream.
9. Cool burning muscles: You might be feeling sore after a tough workout or you may be dehydrated but either way your sweet cannabis creation is the answer. Mix it with coconut water and some mint to stay hydrated and refreshed.
10. Treat Acid Reflux: If acid reflux is causing you discomfort, find relief with a teaspoon of CBD honey every day.
11. Say goodbye to menstrual cramps: Dissolve a teaspoon of your infused honey into a glass of warm water to help deal with the monthly cramps and pain. It’s effective because it stimulated fatty acid production which helps even out hectic hormones.
12. Heal Stomach Ulcers: Instead of relying on pharmaceutical medications try canna-honey first. Eat a tablespoon before ingesting anything else during the day and another before bed. The combination should relieve pain, prevent future ulcers, and heal the ones already there.
13. Treat Burns: Use cannabis-infused honey on first degree burns to keep them sterile, speed up the healing time, and reduce the accompanying pain. Don’t attempt to treat 2nd or third degree burns this way and see a doctor asap.
14. Transform acne-prone skin: This might not seem contradictory since I previously stated that this product would moisturize the skin. It does moisturize while targeting the pesky blemishes no one wants to see on their skin. Washing your face with canna-honey will cleanse the skin, normalize healthy skin production without drying out everything else.

This is just a small list of the many medicinal uses of cannabis-infused honey, I’ve only included the ones that would be the most beneficial for daily use. Do you use canna-honey to treat your ailments? Let us know in the comments!
