How To Use Cannabis Tincture To Make Potpourri
You may have already known how to use cannabis tincture, but if not, this short guide will help you understand the basics. Some people, while under the influence of cannabis, have visions of a heavenly garden where plants and grass are lovingly tended by angels. Others see a dark substance bubbling forth from the bottom of the glass into the atmosphere. And then, there are those who see only a sprightly bud at the top of the jar. Regardless of your vision, using cannabis tincture can create a positive transformation in your life.
To make your own cannabis-based drinks: simply buy one of many Mason jars with a tight-fitting lid that seals air tightly. Then, gather up a bunch of fresh, crumbled marijuana buds (about three inches long), a few lemon slices, and about two liters of alcohol. Mix the alcohol with the buds and place them in a Mason jar. You should be able to pour the alcohol directly into the jar without any bubbles forming, which is how it gets its clear color. If mason jars aren't available to you, any large container of water can serve as a substitute.
Next, choose one of several different recipes: that combine the oils from cannabis with a variety of other ingredients. The resulting concoction can be used as an appetizer, an initial soothing soak, as a body scrub, or as an intimate lubricant for your partner. These recipes include things like the classic "bud" - created by combining rolled bud with a bit of sweet rum and a few drops of brandy or your favorite spirit. Other tinctures have strong scents to them, like Rosemary or lavender, or even fruity varieties like grapefruit or melon. Some people prefer the smell of vinegar or lemons mixed with the alcohol, so that they have a powerful aroma to inhale.
There are other ways of creating your own tinctures: One way is to combine equal parts olive oil and grapefruit seed extract to create a lightly sweetened slipper. Another is to make a solution of pure cannabis and olive oil, using the slippers as a base. Some other easy and inexpensive ways to make your own potpourri include infusing essential oils like Rosemary, mint, or lavender with the alcohol in your potpourri, or soaking fresh stems in alcohol for a few days. If you're creative, you can come up with dozens more interesting ways to use flowers, herbs, and plants to enhance the experience for yourself and others.
When making your own potpourri: however, it's important to remember that there are both advantages and disadvantages to using dried flower, leaves, or stems. Dried flowers, leaves, and stems are very delicate and can easily break when stored in damp conditions. In addition, the solvents used to freeze and harden the dried flower can change its chemical composition, so that it may have unpleasant side effects once it comes into contact with someone's skin. Many people prefer using fresh flower and plant material for their own personal consumption, but if you're interested in trying out different types of potpourri for your home or office, then consider using premixed potpourri products that are made from ready-made mixes that are appropriate for all kinds of use, both indoors and out.
Many people who enjoy using cannabis: do so because it gives them an experience that is unlike anything else. The act of smoking a joint, inhaling steam from a hot pot, or rubbing fresh buds on your skin all have distinct pleasant affects. Because cannabis has a unique, intense effect, it can be very relaxing, so it's no wonder that many people choose to make their own potpourri, using dried flower, leaves, and stems like cannabis tinctures.
Whether you use them for decoration purposes in your home or put them in a glass decanter to serve guests with, they're sure to enhance any type of experience you have with flowers.
