Introduction
Cannabis-infused pain creams are a popular natural remedy for a variety of pains and aches. But what exactly are they? And how do you make them?
Cannabis-infused pain creams are topicals that contain either CBD (cannabidiol) or THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), or both. These cannabinoids work together to provide relief from pain, inflammation, and other issues.
THC is the cannabinoid that gets you high, while CBD does not. CBD is thought to provide more health benefits than THC, but the jury is still out on this.
To make a cannabis-infused pain cream, you will need:
-A double boiler or crock pot
-An 8 oz. Mason jar with a lid
-¼ cup of beeswax pastilles
-½ cup of coconut oil
-1 cup of almond oil
-1 ounce (28 grams) of ground cannabis flower or trim
What You Will Need
-Cannabis oil
-Coconut oil

Making The Cannabis Pain Cream
The first thing you need to do is gather all of the supplies that you will need. This includes the following:
-1/2 cup of coconut oil

-1/4 cup of shea butter

Next, you need to decarboxylate your cannabis. This is a process of heating the cannabis so that the THC is activated. You can do this by preheating your oven to 245 degrees Fahrenheit and then spreading your cannabis on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.Once the cannabis is done decarbing, allow it to cool before moving on to the next step.
Now it’s time to make the cream! Add the coconut oil olive oil beeswax, shea butter, and essential oil (if using) into a double boiler or a glass bowl set over a pot of boiling water. Stir until everything is melted and combined. Then remove from heat and stir in the decarboxylated cannabis. Pour into a clean container and allow to cool completely before using.
