DIY is an investment of time and money, but it’s also an investment in your health.
Those who are most successful in achieving their desired results with cannabis DIY are those that want and work toward their goals and who do so with the support they need along the way.
-
Starting low and going slow with cannabis tinctures is the approach most doctors and healthcare professionals in the cannabis industry recommend.
This way, what works for you and what doesn’t is discovered in a simple and easy process where you can see yourself making progress.
-
Suppositories are another way to deliver medicine to the body when other routes, such as oral, cannot be used or are not ideal.
They are small and come in different shapes, like round or cones.
Suppositories combine the medicine with a substance such as cocoa butter.
They’re used rectally or vaginally to treat issues locally in the pelvis or the rest of the body via easy absorption into the bloodstream.
-
A tincture is a liquid herbal extraction in either oil (preferred) or alcohol that is ingested orally as a supplement or medicine.
Simply by placing a few drops in the mouth, holding them under the tongue, and swallowing, you can discreetly dose day and night.
This also makes it an easy medicine to make at home.
-
A topical is any medicine applied to the skin.
These are infused lotions, creams, balms, and salves, including infused lubricants for sex.
Many dispensaries sell these items infused with THC, while online hemp retailers often sell items infused with CBD.
-
A concentrate is any botanical that has been extracted and is now less dilute.
For example, we use vanilla extract, a concentrate made from vanilla beans.
Essential oils are concentrates of flowers and other plants. And fruit juice “made from concentrate” means it was extracted, then reconstituted again.
In terms of cannabis, a concentrate like “wax” or “RSO” is often sold by the gram to consumers to vaporize and inhale or use as medicine.
And the cannabis industry uses concentrates like distillate to infuse commercial products at scale.
-
DIY stands for Do It Yourself and means to make at home.
DIYing your own herbal remedies is the approach I teach in Homemade Health.
-
Because hemp is legal nationwide, yes, DIY for CBD from hemp-based medicines is typically legal to make and resources can be ordered online.
However, since cannabis is regulated on a state-by-state basis, some plants, for example, those containing THC, can be inaccessible.
I always recommend referring to your own local and state laws regarding cannabis.
-
It is possible to start making homemade remedies with basic kitchen supplies like culinary oils, high-proof alcohol such as Everclear, an oven, a stove, jars, and strainers.
But, like any endeavor, the best tools for the job make it the easiest.
Homemade Health students receive a resource guide and shopping list with discounts for all the materials and equipment needed.
My top recommendations are the Ardent FX decarboxylator and infuser, and The Source Turbo by ExtractCraft for making your own concentrates.
-
Your course contains a resource list with links to my most trusted online retailers.
These items are available nationwide and on Amazon.
-
If you are lost on how to get started, a course is a perfect solution to walk you through the basics and point you to everything you need.
Connecting with other DIYers who can answer your questions and help get you on the right path helps build your canna-confidence.
-
Cannabis can help with so many ailments because it supports the master control system that balances your body's systems.
Any condition that benefits from reduced inflammation tends to improve.
At the same time, those who suffer migraines, fibromyalgia, killer menstrual cycles, chronic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, other skin problems, and so much more find the ability to control and manage their ailment with cannabis a lifesaver.
All of this relief also applies to mental health.
We see so much improvement in mood, reduced anxiety, and relief from depression or better focus from implementing a sustainable cannabis regimen.

“All I can say is that if I didn’t have Michelle (who has all this knowledge), I would have never tried cannabis and most likely still taking pain pills to this day.”
