CBD Oil
A great option for those wanting hyper-accurate doses of CBD or the flexibility to create customized mixtures. To adjust the potency of the oil to suit your needs, simply increase or decrease the amount of CBD isolate or oil.This makes one 30 ml bottle containing 33.3 mg of CBD in each 1 ml. The mixture can be used by humans and pets.If using a different amount of CBD isolate or carrier oil, see the potency chart later in the post to figure out how much CBD in each 1 ml.
Servings: 30 ml bottle
Cost: $25+
Equipment
- 30 ml dark glass bottle with a dose measuring dropper
- Metal funnel small enough to fit into the top of the bottle
- Optional: blunt tip syringe or pipette for accuracy and ease of transferring oil
- Optional: jewellery scale for weighing isolate
Ingredients
- 1 gm (1000 mg) CBD isolate (isolate is typically sold in 1 gm quantities)
- 30 ml oil (popular flavours are MCT, olive, hemp, grapeseed, avocado, and flaxseed)
Instructions
- Add the gram of isolate to the bottle using the funnel. To help push it through, use a toothpick, skewer, end of a teaspoon, or lift the bottle & give a light tap on the table.
- Add the oil to the bottle using the funnel. Don’t overfill. Leave room so it doesn’t overflow when the dropper is put in. For a more precise amount of oil, use the syringe.
- Put the cap/dropper on, tighten, and shake. Let it sit for a few hours to give the powder and oil time to amalgamate. To speed up the process, place in a bowl of hot tap water.
