What the Hell is Going on in New York Cannabis?!

What the Hell is Going on in New York Cannabis?! – by Ri Tokes.

High all, and welcome to another edition of what the hell is going on in New York cannabis?!

This week is going to be about the arts and crafts side of weed. This is the world I love most.

Are you ready?

First and foremost, we stoners are also creatives. Think back to the late ‘90s and early ‘00s. Ever smoke out of a soda can, watermelon, or apple? Ever hollow out the dash of your car to turn it into a hookah? Nah? Just my crew, ok fine. But you’re catching my drift.

Was it ever too cold to smoke outside, so you opted for your parents’ wrath? But created a smoke tube out of a toilet paper tube and some of your parents’ dryer sheets? That’s the creative sh** I’m talking about, but let’s spin it.

But like, what can I turn my products into?!

So many things!

I have some injury-induced arthritis, and when it’s cold, dispensary topicals aren’t strong enough. But I have shea butter, coconut oil, and olive oil at home… Sounds like I need to pick up a few jars of resin or rosin and infuse those into oil. Add a few drops of warming and cooling essential oils like peppermint and camphor to really make it hit. There are a million ways you can make right in your own kitchen.

This goes for edibles as well. With the Holidaze here, have you considered the foods you can infused with flower, oil, or concentrates from your local dispensary? One of my favorite things to do is infuse my dinner and dessert sauces. Everyone gets to choose their own adventure this way.

I truly believe you can take any product and make it into something that works for you. I get sample products all the time. I can’t use them all, it’s simply not possible. This means I can make custom products for myself, or I can gift friends and family. Aged 21+, of course.

How do you know you’ve infused it properly? There are a few ways. You can buy a tester like the T-Check, or you can follow some infusion instructions online. There are also some really great calculators to help guide you based on the legal products you have on hand. For topicals, no testing needed. For edibles, please test and consume responsibly. I don’t want to hear about you greening out on the news.

So, now that you know there are new possibilities, what are you going to make?
