Cannabis salve

Step 1

Place 1.5 cups of coconut oil in the top section of a double boiler and place water in the bottom.

Step 2

Stir the decarboxylated cannabis into the top section and heat on low — 130-150°F (55-65°C) — for about one hour. If using a slow cooker, combine the cannabis and oil and cook at the same low temperature for about an hour. In a saucepan, simply heat the oil and cannabis together at the same low temperature for about an hour.

Step 3

Remove the oil from heat and strain through a cheesecloth, making sure to give the cheesecloth a good squeeze at the end to get out the rest of the oil.

Step 4

Melt ⅓ cup of beeswax in a pot or double boiler.

Step 5

Keeping it on low heat, stir in the infused coconut oil and the ⅓ cup of olive oil, as well as the optional drops of essential oil. Stir well until combined.

Step 6

Remove from heat and pour into the jar or storage container of your choosing.
