There\u2019s honey, and then there\u2019s cannabis infused honey. The first is sweet and packed with health-boosting properties. The second is the same\u2014only better. This article will delve deeper into the benefits of honey and share, not one, but two simple ways you can combine honey and cannabis for a delicious homemade treat.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Love the Bees<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bees were making honey millions of years before humans ever roamed the earth. For something to have survived the universe\u2019s evolutionary processes for that long, it has to be pretty extraordinary. And honey does not disappoint. This sweet nectar contains a complex<\/span> combination of nutrients<\/span><\/a> like amino acids and minerals. It was prized by Hippocrates for its healing benefits, and today, researchers have confirmed honey\u2019s<\/span> antioxidant, antibacterial and antimicrobial<\/span><\/a> properties. Honey deserves a place in your medicine cabinet as well as your kitchen cupboard!<\/span><\/p>\n

And if that isn\u2019t impressive enough, the way honey is made, the bees\u2019 amazing organization and their contribution to our survival are nothing short of miraculous. Let\u2019s not forget that we owe around 30% of our food to the work of busy<\/span> bees<\/span><\/a>, buzzing around from flower to flower and pollinating crops. They are precious insects and deserve our respect and support.<\/span><\/p>\n

For that reason, choose honey that is local, organic and raw. The heating process<\/span> many supermarket-bought honeys go through<\/span><\/a> destroys most of the beneficial nutrients, leaving it just a refined (though nice tasting) sugar. Turn away from the big store chains and support your local beekeeper (like Nicolas Trainerbees, a beekeeper who sustains bees making honey from cannabis<\/a>). Commercial beekeeping practices are<\/span> unsustainable<\/span><\/a> and do not give bees the respect they so deserve. Buying raw, unprocessed, local honey supports both your health and the wonderful bees.<\/span><\/p>\n

CBD or THC?<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The healing properties of honey combined with cannabis make for a powerful combination, especially if you are using it for health purposes (and you have a medical cannabis license). To get the best out of this recipe, go for a strain that\u2019s<\/span> high in CBD<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The fundamental difference between THC and CBD is that THC has psychoactive properties and will get you high while CBD has none and so won\u2019t give you that kind of buzz. So you can enjoy a spoonful (or two) of this honey without worrying that you will experience any psychoactive effects. This is why CBD is prized by many medical users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Make Your Own Cannabis Infused Honey<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Depending how much honey you want to make, you have a couple of options. The first recipe is perfect for bigger batches whereas the second is great if you want to make smaller amounts of herb- or fruit-infused CBD honey.<\/span><\/p>\n
