Dehydrated Cannabis

Dehydrated Cannabis The Bottom Line 

 

Results are in on dehydrated Cannabis. Well I have to stand behind the dehydration method. However I guess I'm old school, the first and best way is the natural way (hang dry) 10 to 14 days then into jars for curing. Now for anyone who smokes daily if you are in this position you probably tried everything to quickly dry some bud like the oven, light bulb, heater or even the dryer, me too. So when I saw the dehydrator I was not sure but I gave it a try and amazed myself it smells and tastes just as good as the buds I dried naturally most important the quality was just as good, lots of crystal and nice and sticky.

Helpful tips:

• You don't need to be picky when trimming, leave a little leaf. This helps keep a lot of crystal on the bud.
• Do not dry the bud till it's crisp
• Dry 90% so you can still put in jars for curing.

This still allows you to smoke some before you put in jars. Once in the jars you know it will start feeling moist again.

Overall the dehydrator will speed your harvest time (which can be nerve-wracking.) And if for any reason it doesn't work for you, you can still make some beef jerky, You can make all your fruit and herbal teas. I fell in love the dehydrator.

ALT, D.I.Y:

Air pulled through a container that is enclosed using a small fan that has a speed control - can dry in less than 1/2 the time - contain any smell. 

What is the craziest way you tried to dry buds?

The federal #Cannabis Act came into effect on October 17, 2018 and made #Canada the second country in the world, after Uruguay, to #legalize #recreational cannabis. #Decriminalization would simply remove laws restricting the use of cannabis products, as has been implemented in many countries, #legalization allows for the taxation (monopoly) of legally produced cannabis. Canada is the first G7 and G20 nation to do so.

Explores How The Cannabis Plant Procreates

Explores How The Cannabis Plant Procreates

Cannabis and sex go together like peanut butter and jelly...flavored lube. Surely you’ve mixed the two before, but while you were bumping uglies, stoned and sensationally sensitive, did you ever stop to think about how cannabis plants procreate?

 (Going half on some seeds is what it’s about for them, not getting a glorious nut off at least according to the weed we’ve spoken to.) Whether or not you’ve pondered cannabis coitus, MERRY JANE has the lowdown on how it goes down. Watch the latest episode of our original series “Journey Into Weed” to see the differences between male and female plants, how a single male can impregnate a whole field of females, how you can beat the seed out of males (ouch), and what causes marijuana to become hermaphroditic. And unlike the sex vids you usually watch at work, it’s (mostly) SFW.

Weed Magazine High Times Goes Public

Weed Magazine High Times Goes Public but ditches IPO

The 43-year-old marijuana media brand High Times has found a shortcut to going public: It sold itself to an already public shell company, of which High Times share holders then got an 83 percent stake.

After private equity firm Oreva Capital bought a controlling stake in the publisher last month, they went and sold High Times to an already public special-purpose acquisition company, Origo. Oreva had valued the company at $70 million, but the new transaction valued it at more than triple that, with the company expecting a market cap of $250 million. High Times shareholders will have an 83 percent stake, whereas the Origo SPAC will own 17 percent. It seems there are high hopes for High Times to become a massive media empire as marijuana becomes legal in more states.
High Times’ business includes its long-running print magazine, a popular online destination for cannabis news and its weed-growing competition event series, the Cannabis Cup. But as weed goes legal and dispensaries replace street dealers, High Times’ site could become a Yelp for where to buy pot. That could earn it fat referral fees or ad sales from dispensaries seeking new stoners.

There are already serious competitors in the dispensary directory business, like WeedMaps and Leafly. But High Times claims to receive massive inbound traffic from its position as the most well-known brand in weed.
Skipping the glitzy initial public offering is not the standard route to going public, but it’s been done before. Origo, the entity that bought High Times, was designed specifically for this purpose. After the transaction closes, likely in October, High Times will be a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq. This process allows them to avoid some of the SEC registration procedures and perhaps some extra scrutiny related to the nature of their business.

Soon, believers in the “green rush” of marijuana-related businesses will have a publicly traded company they can invest in. If High Times can evolve from a culture publication to an e-commerce portal, it could grow into a potent part of the budding cannabis industry.

Does Cannabis Cure Cancer?

Does Cannabis Cure Cancer? 

Man Who Discovered The Cause Of Cancer Wrote A Book On Curing It

 Dr. Otto Warburg was the man who discovered the cause of cancer

he was awarded the Nobel prize in 1931 for his work. Initially it was my understanding that he discovered cancer but he actually discovered the cause which in my opinion is even more valuable than discovering cancer. Many people have recognized a problem, a disease, a tumorous lump growing on someone and labeling it a disease. The cause of that disease is even more important and relevant than the disease itself if you want to do something about it. His work came to be known as the “Warburg Effect” or the “Warburg Hypothesis” which basically entailed that cancer cells live off sugar (glycolysis) and that they also thrive in an anaerobic environment. These causes lead me to believe the opposite would help to reverse the cancer growth. What do you think?

He’s one of the most relevant figures in our history when it comes to cancer, what causes it and how to really treat it. Most people have no idea who this man is though, why is that? is it because of what he has to say about cancer and about disease in general? There’s no question that he was a brilliant man during his time. The first man to discover the cause of cancer is somewhat like the first man landing on the moon! it’s just the micro and macro scale of things.

His discovery led him to certain conclusions. These conclusions that he was led to may be true or false to you but I'm going to leave that up to you to decide. I trust this man (the discoverer of it) more than the American Cancer Society or any other medical organization though because he’s worked to get to a place of excellence and understanding of cancer. Large organizations that take your money for a ‘cure’ or to walk around in a circle wearing pink shirts haven’t done a whole lot with the BILLIONS of dollars poured in for research.

Oddly enough Dr. Otto Warburg gave his two cents on what can be done to treat and heal cancer and what changes need to take place in the human body for the human body to no longer have cancer. Let me say that again! the man who discovered cancer shared practical information on how cancer can cease to exist based on his understanding of cancer in his research.

So what was his thoughts on cancer? First, he was quoted as saying:

"No disease, including cancer can exist in an alkaline environment"

His first belief was that cancer itself cannot exist in an alkaline environment. What conclusion could you draw from this? Foods and drinks that are alkaline are beneficial for helping to remove cancer from the human body. From his research his conclusion was that cancer can not live in an alkaline environment. If you have cancer then wouldn’t it be a natural conclusion to put alkaline foods and drinks such as water into your body as much as possible as opposed to acidic foods which may in fact feed the cancer growth? It’s just a thought.

Dr. Otto Warburg also said “Cancerous tissues are acidic, whereas healthy tissues are alkaline. Water splits into H+ and OH- ions, if there is an excess of H+, it is acidic; if there is an excess of OH- ions, then it is alkaline.”

“All normal cells have an absolute requirement for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen a rule without exception. “Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become cancerous.” Dr. Warburg has made it clear that the root cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency, which creates an acidic state in the human body. Dr Warburg also discovered that cancer cells are anaerobic (do not breathe oxygen) and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen, as found in an alkaline state.

Dr. Wargburg understood the importance of oxygen and an alkaline environment around the cancerous growth. He even went so far as to say that “No Disease, including cancer can live in an alkaline environment” too. So from Dr. Warburg some of the best cancer and disease prevention (and healing, according to him) advice would be to give your boxy more oxygen and an alkaline environment.

How do you do that? More deep breathing. More nature. If you live in the city you are being bombarded by chemicals and decreasing oxygen levels. The country and nature have higher levels of pure oxygen and this was one of the keys according to Dr. Warbug to help the body be in an alkaline environment. Not only that but eating alkaline foods such as vegetables and fruits can help to alkalize the body environment as well.

Believe it or not Dr. Otto Warburg also wrote a book entitled “Dr Otto Warbug cancer: it's cause and it's cure” which blows my mind.

Cannabis, Cancer and Alkalinity

Evidence has shown that high doses of the cannabinoid THC can destroy cancer cells. It’s not that THC causes cancer cells to ravenously and indiscriminately destroy themselves. Rather, by binding to certain cell-surface receptors, THC activates a cell signaling pathway that leads to cell death.

In 1976 President Gerald Ford put an end to all public cannabis research and granted exclusive research rights to major pharmaceutical companies, who set out to develop synthetic forms of THC that would deliver all the medical benefits without the “high.” These synthetic lab made derivatives of cannabis have been used since the 1980’s to relieve the side effects of cancer drugs.

Thanks to Rick Simpson publishing his findings after treating his own skin cancer, the use of cannabis oil for treating cancer finally began receiving the media attention it deserved.

The regimen that has been used to fight numerous types of cancer is to ingest pure cannabis oil made via a medical grade alcohol extraction at a rate of 1 gram per day and to ingest 60 grams in a 90 day period for the full effectiveness of the medicine. There are numerous blogs, YouTube videos and websites dedicated to teaching patients and their families how to make this life saving oil at home. Patients have used this cannabis oil in conjunction with an alkaline diet to reduce their tumor size in not only skin cancer but numerous other types of cancer as well.

Since the 1930’s we have been adjusting our pH balance as means of cancer treatment. The principles of pH therapy are very simple. The metabolism of cancer cells has a very narrow pH tolerance for cellular proliferation (mitosis), which is between 6.5 and 7.5. As such, if you can interfere with cancer cell metabolism by either lowering or raising the internal cancer cell pH, you can theoretically stop cancer progression. There is general agreement among us natural healers and medical professionals alike, that changing a cancer patient’s diet is extremely helpful when someone is confronted with a cancer diagnosis.

Making Cannabis Candy

Making Cannabis Candy Marijuana Edibles

There are a lot of people that think making cannabis candy is a difficult process, when quite simple. As it usually is when making edibles, getting it right is tough. The candy not only has to be potent enough to be considered medicine but taste good as well! The candy is worthless if it doesn’t have both of those qualities. But making the perfect batch of cannabis candy treats is in the following recipe!

Ingredients:

Candy molds
Cooking spray
Metal spoon
2/3 cups white corn syrup
1 tsp flavoring of your choice (adjust if you want but this is really the perfect amount!)
Food coloring (so they look nice, obviously!)
Candy thermometer
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
9.5 grams of dry powdered hash or Tincture

Directions:

First things first, spray the candy molds with cooking spray so that the mix doesn’t stick when you get to the step that requires it. Put the sugar and corn syrup together in a pot and put it on high heat until the mix begins to boil. Reduce the heat to low medium and keep an eye on the temperature. Once the temp hits 300, remove the heat and add in the hash and food coloring. Stir this mix vigorously. You need to make sure that the hash has been completely mixed in. About a minute should do it because the mix will start to harden soon after that. Add your candy mix in to the molds. You can either make them just candies or you can add in sticks to make them lollipops!

Let the mix harden in the mold and then remove and wrap them. This recipe will give you about 40 candies. You can always add in more hash but be sure that that’s the form of cannabis that you use. Kief could also be used in this recipe if you have enough of it. These candies last a good amount of time, about 2 to 3 hours on an empty stomach and an hour after a meal. No one should be afraid to make cannabis candy , especially when it’s such a benefit to those who are always on the go and enjoy eating their weed rather than smoking it.

Best Cannabis Gummies

Ingredients:

(1) package of Jello 6oz size or (2) 3oz packages any flavor
(4) envelops of Knox Gelatin or (1) box usually 4 to a box.
(1/2) cup cold water

(1) teaspoon of Canola oil or Canna Oil.

First you will need to Decarboxylize your Kief.
Preheat your Oven to 275 degrees and put your Kief in an Oven safe dish.
Heat your Kief for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
Mix Kief with oil to make it able to be mixed in jello mixture, put aside.

In small sauce pan mix Jello and Gelatin in pot. Add water to make sugar mixture.
Put sauce pan on stove Medium Heat allow mixture to heat but not boil.
Stir in Kief oil. Continue stirring while heating watching for mixture just to start to thicken.
Remove from stove and quickly spoon into molds. stirring while pouring to keep Kief even in Mixture.
Put molds in Freezer for 10 Minutes.
Pop them out and eat.
Place back in Refrigerator to keep fresh

I’m going to go ahead and say my first time Making Cannabis Candy was completely painless and made a delicious cannabis candy that helps me stay pain free.

Making Cannabis Tincture

Making Cannabis Tincture Chasing the Green Dragon

Great news! You can make full-spectrum cannabis tinctures in your own kitchen with almost no work. Formerly, this job was a messy, smelly, tedious, time-consuming, and dangerous chemistry experiment involving flammable liquids and a stovetop burner (not a great combination). In 2012 it became vastly simpler with the invention of an appliance called the Easy Butter 2 Stick Magic Butter Maker

 

The general idea behind preparing a cannabis tincture involves grinding and soaking high-quality buds in high-proof ethyl alcohol such as Everclear or Bacardi 151. The alcohol dissolves the THC and CBD (cannabidiol), leaving the plant matter behind. You then simply strain your alcohol/bud mixture to remove any debris from your final tincture.

For this alcohol extraction process, what could be easier than a self-contained, push-button device with digital programming that handles everything for you? Just put your herb and alcohol inside the countertop extractor, push a couple of buttons, and save yourself the intense labor that goes into making a tincture caveman-style. (Here’s a video of how easy it is.) It even comes with its own super tough, reusable nylon filter bag. So you can leave the cheesecloth, coffee filters, and pantyhose in the drawer.

Consuming fresh, raw cannabis or its cannabis tincture can’t get you high because the THC is locked in its “acid” form (cleverly named “THC acid”, or THCA). Fortunately, somewhere along the line, a cannabis enthusiast who happened to be a scientist discovered an incredibly simple step called decarboxylation. This process uses heat to create THC from the THCA within the herb. You can decarb your sample before adding it to your MagicalButter machine by baking it for half an hour at 250°F/120°C, generating some kushin’ for the pushin’!

Where does the green in green dragon come from? When soaking your herbal delights, you get a little more than you bargain for: Much of the plant’s chlorophyll seeps through, along with the desired cannabinoids and terpenoids. Chlorophyll has many healthful properties, from potent antioxidant and body deodorant effects to cellular cleansing and appetite suppression. And it gives your tincture its distinctive, deep, dark green color. Often, though not always, the darker the green, the danker the dragon.

This is the best part. You can do nearly anything with the cannabis tincture at this point, from mixing it into a milkshake to adding to any recipe you can think of and many more recipes that you never would have dreamed of. For maximum potency it can even be reduced by evaporating most of the alcohol, creating MagicalButterOil of Cannabis.

The sublingual method of tincture administration, say, a medicine dropper full held under the tongue, will provide the quickest onset of effects (about 15-30 minutes). You can also throw it straight down the hatch and in 30-90 minutes reap your reward. But where’s the fun in that?

From gummy creations of every shape and size, along with your choice of flavors, you can make your confectionery dreams come true. And it doesn’t stop there: You can create make soups, salad dressings, sauces, an oral mist, cocktails, even edible healing salve. The possibilities are without limits. So be creative, be experimental, and be responsible, because your “concoction” can be pretty potent!

How to Make Your Own Cannabis Creams

How to Make Your Own Cannabis Creams DIY

The incredible health benefits and endless uses for cannabis

Infused lotions, salves, or balms are a great item to keep on hand as they have been shown to provide immense relief from chronic or acute localized pain. Because tropical are applied directly to the skin, they won’t get you high, which means they’re a great pain reliever to use at work or during the day when you can’t responsibly consume cannabis to relieve painful symptoms.

Making your own cannabis-infused topical lotions and salves is not as difficult as you might think. If you’ve ever made cannabis-infused butter or oil, the recipe is similar and can be used in a variety of ways.

Ingredients:

    28 grams of ground, dried cannabis
    1 ½ cups of coconut oil
    1/3 cup olive oil (optional)
    1/3 cup beeswax
    1 baking sheet
    1 saucepan (or double boiler)
    1 jar
    1 cheesecloth
    A few drops of essential oil (your choice)

Preheat your oven to 240 degrees Fahrenheit and spread your dried ground cannabis on a baking sheet. When the oven is preheated, decarboxylate your cannabis in the oven for 15 minutes.

While your cannabis is in the oven, place your coconut and olive oil in the saucepan or double boiler over low heat and stir continuously.

Remove your decarboxylated cannabis from the oven and mix it into the coconut oil. Maintain a low heat and continue stirring the cannabis and oil mixture for 20 to 25 minutes.

Note: Keep the heat very low, especially when using a saucepan and not a double boiler–if the heat gets too high, you’ll scorch the cannabis and burn off the THC, decreasing the oil’s potency. This is especially pertinent if you’re using olive oil in your recipe, as olive oil has a lower smoke point than other oils.

After 25 minutes, remove from heat and pour the mixture through a cheesecloth into the jar. Set aside.

In the same saucepan or double boiler, add the beeswax and heat until it is melted. As the beeswax melts, slowly add the infused coconut oil.

You can also add essential oils to your mixtures like lavender, peppermint, or tea tree oils. Just a few drops will do.

Once the beeswax and coconut oils are thoroughly mixed, remove from heat and transfer into containers for your infused salve.

In order to make your salve into an infused lotion or cream, add:

    1 cup aloe vera gel
    1 teaspoon vitamin E oil
    2 tablespoons shea butter or cocoa butter

To increase the fluidity of your cream, increase the amount of olive oil (or any other kind of oil in your mixture.

Keep in mind that your lotion will still be fairly thick, so we don’t recommend trying to put it in a lotion pump.

If you’re not sure what containers to use, many containers used for cannabis flower can also be used for tropical and lotions. Our personal favorite is the classic 4 oz. glass canning jar easily bought in bulk and useful for a number of purposes

Your cannabis salves won’t last forever, but storing it in a cool, dark place will help preserve its longevity. Just rub salve on the affected area, and sit back and relax while the activated THC works magic on your aches and pains.
