DIY Topical Cannabis Pain Cream
Before mixing all your ingredients, you will want to de-carb you cannabis flower or cannabis concentrate. For simplicity, AirMid uses concentrate such as shatter or butter to name a few. De-carbing is when you heat your cannabis to activate the THC; otherwise, you can skip the de-carb process as it naturally does once it gets heated to any extent but will make for a less potent product if not fully processed. Some concentrate infusions such as the “RSO” (Rick Simpson oil) or more commonly found and better described in Illinois is FECO (Full Extract Cannabis Oil) in which these products at the dispensary are already de-carbed and ready to use.
