Elevate Your Cannabis Experience with These Handy DIY Tips
As a cannabis enthusiast, you’re always looking for ways to enhance your experience. At Altius Dispensary, we believe in helping our customers reach new heights. That’s why we’ve put together these five essential DIY tips for cannabis aficionados. Whether you’re a seasoned user or new to the world of recreational weed, these tips will help you make the most of your cannabis journey.
1. Create Your Own Infused Oils and Butters
One of the most versatile ways to enjoy cannabis is by infusing it into oils or butters. This process allows you to incorporate your favorite strains into a wide variety of recipes. Here’s a simple method:
- Decarboxylate your cannabis in the oven at 240°F for 40 minutes
- Melt butter or heat oil in a saucepan
- Add the decarboxylated cannabis and simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours
- Strain the mixture and store in an airtight container
2. Build a DIY Smoking Device
Get creative and craft your own smoking device using household items. A simple apple pipe is a classic choice:
- Remove the stem from an apple
- Create a bowl on top by carving out a small depression
- Make a tunnel from the bowl to the center of the apple
- Create another tunnel from the side to meet the first tunnel
- Use the side tunnel as your mouthpiece
3. Make Your Own Cannabis Topicals
Cannabis-infused topicals can be a great way to enjoy the benefits of marijuana without the psychoactive effects. Create your own by following these steps:
- Infuse coconut oil with cannabis using the method from tip #1
- Melt beeswax and mix with the infused oil
- Add essential oils for fragrance (optional)
- Pour into containers and let cool
4. Craft a Smell-Proof Storage Solution
Keep your cannabis fresh and discreet with this DIY smell-proof container:
- Clean and dry a mason jar thoroughly
- Line the inside of the lid with a coffee filter
- Fill the jar with activated charcoal
- Add your cannabis products
- Seal tightly
5. Create a Homemade Tincture
Tinctures offer a smoke-free way to enjoy cannabis. Here’s how to make your own:
- Decarboxylate your cannabis
- Place the cannabis in a jar and cover with high-proof alcohol
- Seal and store in a cool, dark place for 2-3 weeks, shaking daily
- Strain the mixture and store in a dropper bottle
