Your Skin Produces Marijuana-Like Substance

I'm going to try that this weekend. I have some olive oil extraction in the fridge that has been sitting there with plant matter still in it too long to consider safe for consumption. Maybe I will tell my BF that I am preggers just to get his stress level up enough to get a flareup and be my guinea pig HAHAHHA (just kidding, that would be truly evil)

oh man.. that would be insta-stress for me. I think my hair would just all fall out and not all the propecia in the world could save me. lol

lol!
I agree 100% that the acetone in that recipe is no good. I've successfully used Absorbine to treat contact dermatitis (poison ivy specifically) but in that case you NEED a drying agent.
I'm thinking your recipe, with lanolin added, would be somewhere to start? Let me consult with another geek, one moment while I retrieve him!

ahh... are you planning on making a stick or something similar to like a chap stick in consistency?

If you go the lanolin route you may need to cut back on the olive oil or add more lanolin than you originally anticipate. This mostly stem from my concerns of the waxy/greasy/fatty properties of lanolin to be able to hold a liquid oil in it's pours.

However this may not even be an issue with the lecithin. Play with the amounts and let me know what you come up with. I've never used lanolin in any of my topicals.

Also let me know what our fellow geek in arms has to say. I'm curious what someone elses thoughts are on this as well.

That's a thought. A beeswax-lanolin base would be outstanding. The wheels are turning... smoke is coming out my ears... lol

Just be sure to melt them both and then add them to the rest of the stuff being concoted. You'll probably want to melt the beeswax and lanolin in water.. actually just a very hot water bath in a mason jar would work nicely. You don't risk changing the properties or breaking down the products by heating them up too quickly.

If your intention is to make a chapstick type product I would suggest using less water.. Maybe 1/4 cup instead of half.. maybe even a little less.

I've never made it this way but in my head it seems like it would work.

Good luck with the experiments to make a suitable canna-cream
