Introduction To Cannabis Oils
Cannabis oil extracts are a new way to enjoy cannabis. Common extraction processs use CO2, Ethanol, or pressure and heat to remove the essential oils from the plant matter, which results in an oily substance that's easy to ingest either orally or sublingually (under your tongue). This guide will help you understand what cannabis oil infusions are, how they work, and why you should consider trying them for yourself.
Cannabis oil is becoming increasingly more popular.
Infused cannabis oil is becoming increasingly more popular with the mainstream, as more information is released detailing its benefits. Cannabis oils offer a way to consume cannabis without smoking or vaping.
"Cannabis oil is a refined plant extraction that contains compounds called cannabinoids."
Cannabis oil is a refined plant extraction that contains compounds called cannabinoids. These cannabinoids are what give you the psychoactive effects of marijuana, but they also have many other properties such as anti-inflammatory properties, pain relief and even cancer fighting properties.
Cannabis oils can be used in a variety of ways: they can be taken orally or applied topically to treat various ailments and conditions such as arthritis, psoriasis and eczema to name just three. Cannabis oil comes in different forms like tinctures (liquid drops), capsules and sprays so there’s something for everyone depending on how much you want to spend on your treatment plan!
Cannabis oil infusions come in different forms.
They can be either in a liquid form or solid like butter, coconut oil (MCT) or infused olive oil. Different methods of infusions can be used for each type.
Cannabis oils are made using different processes and the quality may vary depending on the process used to create it. To create cannabis oil, you need to decarboxylate your cannabis first before infusing it into any carrier oil of your choice. The decarboxylation process removes CO2 from THC-A and turns the compound into THC that is more readily absorbed by our body when consumed orally.
One of the best ways to consume this form of medicine is through an oral ingestion method such as eating brownies containing cannabinoids instead of smoking because there's no risk involved with inhalation. For those who want a faster way then try vaping instead, infusions are also offered in easy to use sprays. :)
Minor Cannabinoids
Most people using cannabis oil prefer using strains high in THC, CBN and CBG to maximize effectiveness and minimize unwanted psychoactive effects.
THC is the main psychoactive component of cannabis. However, it has also been shown to demonstrate antispasmodic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties that are useful for treating pain caused by disorders like fibromyalgia or arthritis.
CBN is a sedative that has been shown to reduce anxiety while increasing appetite during times of stress or trauma.
CBG is a non-psychoactive component of cannabis that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties.
Consistent dosing
Consistent dosing is the most important aspect of using cannabis oil infusions. The size of the dose that you take will depend on how much THC and CBD are in your recipe and how strong you would like your infusion to be. Dosing can be done by eye, but if you want more consistent results, it's best to use a metered spray, or a milliliter (mL) syringe or a dropper bottle with labeled ml increments.
When it comes time to dosing yourself with infused products like tinctures or edibles during the day, try taking small amounts at first until you find what works best for you; then gradually increase as needed so long as there aren't any negative side effects associated with having too much in one sitting!
Intentional dosing
Determining the dosage of cannabis oil is a vital part of getting the most out of your experience. While there are various ways to go about this, it's important to remember that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to dosing. Some people find that they need a higher dose than others because their bodies process cannabinoids differently. If you are still unsure about what's right for you, ask yourself these questions:
What effect do I want? Do I want pain relief? Or am I looking for something with more psychoactive effects (i.e., feeling "high")?
How much time do I have? Is this going to be an afternoon or evening session where I'm not concerned about being functional later on in the day or week?
How often do I consume cannabis products (if at all)? If it's been awhile since your last experience, consider easing into things by starting off with a lower dose than usual and then slowly working up as needed.
Most people start by ingesting up to a few milligrams of their chosen cannabinoid and increase their dose as needed. Remember: Always start low and go slow!
Safe, predictable and discreet.
Cannabis oil infusions are a great choice for many people for a number of reasons. Because it's made from decarboxylated cannabis, you can be confident that the amount of THC in your product will be accurate and predictable. Additionally, you won’t have to worry about having too much or too little THC; with an infusion, you get exactly what the label says you will: from 1mg up to 67mg per dose!
Cannabis oil infusions are also very easy to dose since they come in measured doses. This means that even if someone is unfamiliar with cannabis products or new to using them recreationally, they can still find their ideal dose quickly and easily without having to guess how much they need based off past experiences or vague instructions online.
Finally, cannabis oil infusions are discreet—you don't need any tools like grinders or pipes because all the cannabinoids are already extracted into one small bottle!
Anytime anywhere oil infused products.
Cannabis oil infusions can be used in a variety of ways, and they're easy to carry with you. Whether you're looking to enjoy an infused beverage on the go or just need something quick and discreet to use at home, cannabis oil infusions are perfect for any situation.
Start with a small dose. There's no need to worry about getting too high if you've never tried cannabis before; as long as you're dosing small amounts of pure THC or CBD isolate extracted from hemp (or other strains), and not cut with any other chemicals or additives, there should be very little chance to experience negative psychoactive effects from consuming these products.
Using Cannabis Tinctures
Cannabis tinctures are a cannabis-infused liquid that you can use to make herbal teas, add to smoothies and other food dishes, or drink on its own. This is a very simple extraction method but it's also one of the most potent methods of consumption if used properly.
There are several ways to make a cannabis tincture: you can use alcohol or MCT oil as your cannabis solvent and then mix with vegetable glycerin (VG) or propylene glycol (PG). To get started quickly, pre-made infusions are available in some states as well as our online dispensary here.
Using Cannabis Tincture Sublingually
Sublingual tinctures are a liquid form of cannabis oil that are placed under the tongue. The oil is absorbed through the capillaries in your mouth and then into your bloodstream, providing instant relief. This method is ideal for fast acting relief such as pain, nausea, anxiety and more.
Using Microdose Oral Sprays
Microdosing is a method of consuming cannabis that requires only a fraction of the typical dose. It’s made possible by using oral sprays, which allow you to deliver precise doses with minimal negative psychoactive effects.
You can also choose to consume your microdose by adding it as an ingredient in other foods like smoothies or salad dressing for even better results! If you’re worried about how much you should be taking per day, don't worry: start with a few pumps a day and increase your dosage if needed from there.
Infused Edibles
Infused edibles are a very popular way to consume cannabis. This can be from baked goods to chocolate, gummies and more. Edibles are an easy and tasty way for beginners to get started with cannabis as they don't require any special equipment or knowledge of how to roll a joint or pack a bowl.
If you're looking for an alternative method of consuming cannabis that won't leave your house smelling like weed, then edibles are the perfect option for you! Pre-infused gummies are also available if you want to stay out of the kitchen.
Cannabis is not easily water soluble.
This means that you cannot just throw cannabis in any drink, or on your food and expect the THC to totally dissolve into the product.
Cannabis oil is made by infusing cannabis into oil or fat in a process called an infusion. Infusions can be done in a variety of ways, but they all involve heating up both the oil or fat and the plant materials until they're completely combined together. Once infused, you have two choices: either use it right away (like when making homemade edibles) or store it for later use (like tinctures or sprays).
Infused Drinks
There are quite a few ways to add cannabis oil to your drinks. One easy way is to use alcohol or glycerin as a helpful solvent for your oil. These two substances have the ability to dissolve cannabinoids and terpenes, allowing them to mix into the drink more readily. Water is not ideal because it does not dissolve cannabinoids well and would require lots of stirring to fully mix in.
Another option is using cream or milk as an ingredient (Like with bulletproof coffee) in your drink instead of water, which will help dissolve any oils you may already be using as well as provide some extra fat content that can improve absorption when consumed orally (this method works best if you want people who aren't used to edibles yet).
Oil infusions are a great way to benefit from the medical and therapeutic effects of cannabis.
When you create an oil infusion, you're combining the cannabinoids (active compounds) from cannabis with another fatty substance like coconut oil or butter.
Oil infusions are very versatile. They're also a great way to incorporate cannabis into your daily routine without having to smoke or vape it. Dont forget... you can use an oil infusion sublingually via tincture or spray, which allows the cannabinoids to be absorbed directly into your bloodstream through the tissues in your mouth and gums. This gives you fast-acting relief without having to wait for the digestive system to process edibles or drinkables.
