CBD Strips: Everything You Need To Know About The Newest Medical Marvel

As doctors, scientists, and lawmakers continue to see the ever-growing list of benefits that medical marijuana provides, the likelihood of legalization on the federal level increases. And that’s a very good thing because medical marijuana—the cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) in particular—can be used to treat a great many medical problems that were once thought to be well-nigh untreatable. From diabetes to nicotine addiction to fibromyalgia to anxiety and schizophrenia, CBD seems to be the wonder drug of the 21st century. Learn more about CBD strips here.

But it’s only been in recent years that CBD has become readily available for mass consumption. Now growers are producing high-CBD strains that can be used in a variety of different ways: smoking, dabbing, edibles, pills, tinctures, concentrates, and recently, dissolvable strips. This article will focus on that last method of consumption—CBD strips.

Along the way, we’ll answer questions such as:

What are CBD strips?
Why should you use them?
How do you use CBD strips?
Is it possible to make your own batch of CBD strips?

We’ll even talk a bit about CBD strips versus other delivery methods, and the science that makes the dissolvable strip possible (microencapsulation). So where do we start? At the beginning. [Read more…]

How To Make Cannabis Butter: The Ultimate Guide

Marijuana edibles have been around for a very long time. In fact, ingesting the plant (rather than smoking it) is probably how it was discovered in the first place. The glorious “discovery” of cannabis’ textile, health, and psychoactive benefits occurred some 5,000 years ago by Chinese sage emperor Shennong. It is rumored that both a servant, and Emperor Shennong himself, failed to notice a leaf fall into the emperor’s boiling tea water. The emperor drank the tea, became obsessed with the cannabis plant, and began studying its uses. He eventually recorded his findings—which included cures for gout, rheumatism, malaria, and absentmindedness—in the Pen Ts’ao Ching pharmacopeia. From there, the use of cannabis spread to India, the Caribbean, and around the world to a grow operation near you.

But just because Emperor Shennong felt the effects just by steeping a leaf in boiling water, doesn’t mean you can do the same thing with all your edibles. You don’t just dump Sour Diesel nugs into the cookie dough. That won’t work. It takes a bit of work first. Trust us, though, it’s worth it. One of the best ways to cook with cannabis is by mixing up your own batch of cannabis butter (cannabutter or weed butter for short).

Shatter vs. Wax: What’s The Difference?

“Hey HMJ, shatter vs. wax—what’s the deal?” We get asked that question, in one form or another, at least twenty times a day via face-to-face conversations, email, fax (yes, fax), text message, IM, and every other form of conventional and electronic communication you can think of. At this point, we’re waiting for the question to arrive via psychic waves. After that, our life will be complete.

The question has become so ubiquitous it recently topped the list of most-common questions (right above the long-time king, “Who are the Grateful Dead and why are they following me?”). To answer that question—shatter vs. wax, not the omnipresence of Jerry Garcia and his cohorts—we’ve put together this article that outlines the difference between cannabis concentrates and talks about why they are so great.
