How to Make Cannabis Coconut Oil
Cannabis coconut oil is abundantly used for edibles, topical salves, body care products, and much more. What makes coconut oil so special? When using cannabis for cooking or in oils, the road to success lies in the high amounts of saturated fats in your extraction medium. The most common medium, butter, contains a fat content of around 60 percent. Olive oil contains only 20 percent. The fatty acid content of coconut oil, on the other hand, is 80-90 percent. This exceptionally high concentration of fatty acids give cannabinoids a potent binding agent to latch onto during the extraction process. Consequently, cannabis products infused with coconut oil are much more effective than cannabis products made with other commonly used mediums. And that’s not all. The benefits of cannabis coconut oil are extensive… and impressive!

Indoor Marijuana Growing Advice
Do not use any soil whatsoever. Instead, use a prepackaged soil-less mix. Three good brands commonly available are Premier Pro-Mix BX BioFungicide, Sun Gro Metro Mix, and Roots Organics, along with many other good brands sold in different parts of the country. The package should say "soil-less mix," "peat-lite mix," or "cornell-mix." The package should not say "potting soil," "top soil," "humus," etcetera.

How to Travel With Weed
Traveling with weed is actually easier today then it was in the late 20th century. Technology has certainly played a part, but attitudes at security checks have eased as regards to weed. The combination of the legalization movement's successes in conjunction with a security force more concerned with weapons than weed, has made for a more accommodating environment for weekend travelers. There are a number great alternatives for traveling life stylists to stash their stash. They are at the mercy of state law when driving with weed and at the mercy of federal law when flying with weed. This is true even if the local jurisdiction you've arrived to or departed from allows cannabis consumption.

Today's questions come from all over the country, and i try to pick ones that have the broadest appeal.
