DIY canna-lube is easy to make, cost-effective and gives your orgasm the intensity it deserves. You control the ingredients, controlling the concentration of cannabis going into the lube! But please, don’t overdo it, as over-sensitization could occur (like a hard-on for way too long!)

Making Canna-lube

Now on to the best part. The lube! Gather your ingredients and let’s get started.

Canna-lube Recipe - What you will need:

• 10 grams of high-quality bud

• Large mason jar with metal lid (heatproof)

• 200 milliliters of fractionated coconut oil (MCT oil) or sunflower seed or Olive Oil

• Food scale

• A grinder

• A large pot and a stainless steel bowl ( or smaller pot) to create a Double boiler

• An extra bowl to strain oil into

• Cheesecloth or fine strainer

Start by decarbing (decarboxylate) your cannabis. Why? Because you want to release all that goodness inside. Both THC and CBD lubes moisturize the area, are anti-inflammatory agents and relax muscles by increasing pleasure and sensation. THC is a known powerhouse vasodilator, meaning it allows oxygenated blood to flow to whichever area it’s applied. Make sure to use a strain rich in cannabinoids especially high in THC, this will increase the effectiveness of the lube. It is best to use strains with THC content at around 15% - 20%.

Decarb – Instructions

• Grind your cannabis

• Place ground cannabis in a mason jar with a metal lid on it

• Heat the cannabis for 30 minutes at 130ºC. (THC evaporates at 155 ºC, so make sure temperature does not exceed 150 ºC)

• When done, let cool

Canna-lube Instructions

1. Create a double boiler by placing a dry and empty pot or metal bowl into a larger pot filled with water on medium heat

2. Place Fractionated Coconut oil (aka MCT oil) into the small pot to heat. Olive oil or sunflower seed oil works great but has fewer antimicrobial properties

3. Once the oil is hot, turn the heat to the lowest heat

4. Add in the decarbed cannabis flower

5. Blend in the cannabis stirring continuously for 5 minutes

6. Allow the hot oil to infuse for another 3 hours, stirring occasionally on the lowest heat

7. Take off the stove and let it cool

8. Using a filter/sieve/ cheesecloth or even old stocking, strain the oil, catching all the bud material in a separate bowl.

9. Place in clean pump bottles (A pump bottle is ideal as you can avoid contaminants and bacteria as well as air oxidization)

10. Refrigerate after each use

Remember you must always refrigerate your lube to stop any bacterial growth and to preserve the cannabinoids and oil from oxidization. Place the bottle in hot water for a few minutes to warm up. Applying canna-lube cold is a sure way to kill the sexy vibe. You can use cannabis oils if you have them instead of buds. Never use mineral oils or vaseline/petroleum bases for canna-lubes or internal applications. Don’t be shy to try it on all your sensitive parts. Go ahead, get your freak on!

Cautions

All latex-based contraceptives can degrade with oil-based products, especially oil-based lubes. Condoms, dental dams, contraceptive diaphragms and gloves that are made from latex should not be used with any oil-based lubes as they can break. They can, however, be used with silicone-based and water-based lubes. When using an oil-based lube with condoms or other contraceptive barriers, choose polyurethane or nitrile barriers.
