You get to choose whether you use CBD or THCA flower. They’re interchangeable in these recipes, so you can pick what suits your vibe!
Let’s dive into these six hemp DIYs that will have you creating oils, salves, tinctures, and more in no time. Trust me, it’s easier than you think, and it’s a fun way to make your very own custom hemp products!
THCA vs. CBD Flower: It’s All Good for These Recipes
You might be wondering, “Do I need to use CBD flower for these DIYs, or can I use THCA?” And the answer is: it doesn’t matter! Whether you use CBD or THCA flower, all of these recipes will work the same way. That’s because both of these flowers come from the same hemp plant, and their benefits are just slightly different.
CBD (Cannabidiol) is great for its calming, anti-inflammatory effects, while THCA (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid) is the precursor to THC and can offer a more energizing or relaxing experience depending on how it’s decarbed. The key difference? Decarboxylating THCA turns it into THC, which is psychoactive, whereas CBD is non-psychoactive.
But here’s the fun part—these recipes work with either flower, as long as you decarb them properly. Decarboxylation activates the cannabinoids in both types of hemp, so you’ll get the full effect whether you’re working with CBD or THCA. For most DIYs, you can follow the same steps, whether you’re after the relaxing properties of CBD or the more energetic effects of THCA. It’s all about your personal preference!
1. Hemp Cannabutter
If you’re someone who loves a good edible, making your hemp cannabutter is a must-try. Think about it: instead of buying pre-made edibles, you can just make them yourself and control how potent they are. Plus, you can use the butter in a bunch of different ways including cookies, brownies, and even savory dishes.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup of butter (or ghee for dairy-free)
- 7-10 grams of hemp flower (which is about 1 cup of flower)
- 1 cup of water
- Slow cooker or double boiler
How to Make It: First, you’ll need to decarboxylate your hemp. Preheat your oven to 240°F and bake your hemp for about 40 minutes. This activates the cannabinoids, making your butter stronger. Once your flower is decarbed, melt your butter in a slow cooker or double boiler and add the water (the water helps keep the butter from burning). Once melted, stir in your decarbed flower and let it cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
After it’s done, strain out the flower and store the cannabutter in an airtight container. This recipe is a sample ratio, but if you want a stronger butter, you can always add more flower. For a milder effect, cut the flower amount in half.
Pro Tip: You can use this butter in any recipe that calls for butter or just spread it on toast for a quick dose of hemp.
2. Infused Coconut Oil
Next up is infused coconut oil, and honestly, this one’s a game-changer. Not only does it smell amazing, but it’s perfect for cooking, skincare, and even as a hair treatment. Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer, so when you infuse it with hemp, you’re getting an oil that’s as good for your body as it is for your soul.
What you’ll need:
- 1 cup of coconut oil (unrefined for the best smell)
- 7-10 grams of hemp flower
- Slow cooker or double boiler
How to Make It: Just like with the cannabutter, start by decarbing your hemp flower. Once it’s done, melt your coconut oil in your slow cooker or double boiler. Once it’s all liquid, add your decarbed hemp and let it simmer on low for 3-4 hours. Stir occasionally to make sure everything is well-mixed.
Once the oil has infused, strain out the flower and store the coconut oil in a jar. If you want a stronger infusion, feel free to add more flower, up to 14 grams for a more potent version. For a lighter infusion, use less flower.
What to Do With It: Use it in cooking, as a body moisturizer, or as a deep conditioning treatment for your hair!
3. Hemp Salve
If you’ve been dealing with sore muscles or dry skin, making a hemp salve is the perfect way to treat yourself. This one’s super easy to whip up, and it’s great for topical use. Whether you need to soothe achy muscles, smooth out rough patches of skin, or just relax, this salve does the trick.
You’ll need:
- 7-10 grams of hemp flower
- 1/2 cup of beeswax (or plant-based wax if you prefer vegan)
- 1/2 cup of coconut oil or olive oil
- Optional: 10-20 drops of essential oils (lavender, peppermint, or tea tree are great)
How to Make It: Start by decarbing your hemp flower. After that, melt your beeswax and coconut oil (or olive oil) together in a double boiler. Once everything is melted, add your decarbed hemp and let it infuse on low heat for about 2 hours. After it’s done, strain out the plant matter and pour the mixture into a small jar to cool.
If you want a stronger salve, increase the amount of flower to 14 grams. For a lighter salve, reduce the flower amount to 5 grams.
Pro Tip: This salve is great for sore muscles, dry skin, and cracked heels, just apply as needed!
4. Infused Sugar for Sweet Treats
If you love baking (or just love sweet treats), hemp-infused sugar is an awesome way to add a little extra something special to your recipes. This is a great way to make your very own hemp edibles, whether you want to sprinkle it in your coffee or bake it into cookies. The best part? You can control how much hemp you’re using, so it’s totally customizable.
What you’ll need:
- 1 cup of sugar (white, brown, or coconut sugar)
- 7 grams of hemp flower
- Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
How to Make It: Start by decarbing your hemp flower. Then, mix your sugar and hemp all together in an oven-safe dish, and bake it at 200°F for about 1 hour. Once done, let the mixture cool, then strain out the flower using the cheesecloth or strainer.
This recipe makes a moderate-strength sugar infusion, but you can easily adjust the potency. Use more flower (10-14 grams) for a stronger sugar, or cut back if you want a more subtle effect.
What to Do With It: Add it to your coffee, bake it into cookies, or sprinkle it on desserts for a sweet, hempy twist!
5. Hemp Tincture
Tinctures are one of the quickest and most effective ways to consume hemp. If you’re looking for a fast-acting, potent way to enjoy the benefits of your flower, this one’s for you. Plus, you can take it sublingually (under your tongue) for quick relief, or add it to your drinks for an extra dose of relaxation.
What you’ll need:
- 7-10 grams of hemp flower
- 1 cup of high-proof alcohol (Everclear or vodka)
- Mason jar
- Strainer
How to Make It: Start by decarbing the flower. Then, place the decarbed flower in a mason jar and cover it with alcohol. Seal the jar and shake it up, then let it sit in a cool, dark place for about 2 weeks. Shake the jar once a day to ensure the alcohol is pulling all the good stuff out of the hemp. After two weeks, strain out the flower and you’re left with a potent tincture!
For a stronger tincture, use 14 grams of flower. For a lighter dose, cut back to 5-7 grams.
Pro Tip: Take a few drops sublingually for fast relief, or add it to your smoothies or coffee for a more subtle effect.
6. Hemp-infused lotion or Body Butter
If you’re someone who loves soft, hydrated skin, making your own hemp-infused lotion or body butter is a game-changer. Not only will it keep your skin feeling smooth, but it’ll also give you all the benefits of hemp, like reducing inflammation and keeping your skin looking healthy.
You’ll need:
- 7-10 grams of hemp flower
- 1/2 cup of shea butter or cocoa butter
- 1/2 cup of coconut oil or olive oil
- Optional: 10-15 drops of essential oils (lavender, eucalyptus, or peppermint are lovely)
How to Make It: Start by decarbing your hemp, then melt your shea butter and coconut oil (or olive oil) together in a double boiler. Once everything is melted, add your decarbed hemp and let it infuse for 2-3 hours on low heat. After that, strain out the plant material and pour the mixture into a container to cool. You’ll have a rich, creamy body butter ready to hydrate your skin!
If you want a stronger infusion, increase the amount of flower to 14 grams. For a lighter lotion, you can reduce it to 5 grams.
What to Do With It: Apply to dry skin, rough patches, or anywhere that needs some extra TLC!
