  • Homemade CBD Tincture (From Isolate) – Easy ‘How To’ Guide!

    I love CBD tinctures, they help me get through my days. However, they can get a bit expensive, which is why I started buying isolates and making my own tinctures at home instead. Here’s how I do it!

    But first, let me do a little math. My favorite, most effective CBD tincture was This One from Mellow Moose. With 3000mg per bottle, and 100mg per dose, this tincture gave me 30 days of doses for $50, or $1.66 per day.

    Buying Organic CBD Isolate from Mellow Moose, I get 20 grams (20,000mg!) for $60 per jar. At my dose of 100mg per day, this isolate gives me 200 days of doses for just $10 more, or $0.30 per day. This can save a lot of money, almost $500 a year!

    So, let’s get into it.

    Note: This process is the same whether you’re using CBD, CBG, or CBN isolate. No changes necessary!

    The Only Ingredients I use are:

    And I’ll be using:

    • A Stove
    • A Mason Jar
    • A Pot of Water
    • A Digital Scale (0.00g)
    • A Digital Thermometer – Like This One (Optional, but strongly encouraged.)

    Step 1:

    Mix 3 grams of CBD isolate (3000mg)and 30ml of MCT Oil (about 2 tablespoons)in a mason jar, and shake it well for ~30 seconds.

    This ratio of 1000mg isolate : 10ml oil gives us 100mg per 1ml dose, but you can customize this to your preferred dose or amount.

    Chunks of isolate will still be visible, and that’s okay. They’ll melt into the oil in the next steps.

    Step 2:

    Fill a pot with enough water to cover the isolate and oil mix, but not enough to submerge the jar.

    Then, put the the pot on the stove over low heat. Make sure the jar is in the pot of water before heat is applied, as putting a colder jar into warmer water can cause the jar to shatter.

    Let the water reach 140-150°F, then let the jar sit in that temp for about 20 minutes. A digital thermometer is very helpful for this stage, but if you don’t have one, 140-150°F should be just under simmering.

    Step 3:

    After 20 minutes, remove the jar from the water and shake the jar for another 30 seconds. The isolate should be fully melted and combined into the MCT oil now.

    Let the tincture sit for around 20 minutes to cool down.

    Step 4: (optional)

    Once cooled, I use a funnel to transfer the tincture into an old Mellow Moose tincture bottle I had lying around. It’s perfectly built for it, with a dropper cap for dosing, and dark glass to stop sunlight from harming the product.

    If you don’t have these bottles laying around, you can just leave it in the jar you made it in, and dose directly from it. A 1ml dropper would still be ideal for dosing, but if you don’t have one, you can eyeball it using a teaspoon, knowing that 5ml = 1 teaspoon.

    I hope this helps someone save some money on this medicine! I love this stuff, and to be able to make it so much more affordable is a life-saver. Take care!

  • Mellow Moose Focus (CBG) Review – Amazing Focus & Motivation Booster

    I got this pure CBG Tincture from Mellow Moose, using code Dallas20 to save 20%. It’s like a cheat code for giving myself an energetic, motivational boost of creativity and focus.

    Recently, I quit using a certain herbal supplement, and my motivation suffered a lot, as a result. The supplement had become so tied to my energy during the day, that I was left unable to focus or get myself out of bed.

    As someone who really enjoys creating things, whether they’re just little house projects or artistic endeavors, this was a rough time for me. It was like I was severely depressed for a little bit, I’ve rarely felt anything quite like that.

    I was desparate to fix this, so I began looking into healthy, natural ways to get some motivation back. One thing I kept seeing over and over was CBG isolates or tinctures, but I’ve tried several of them before with absolutely no results, so I was a little bit hesitant.

    Luckily, right around this time, I had discovered Mellow Moose and was hoping to try out their CBD anyway, so I grabbed some CBG tincture from them as well, hoping their high quality, solventless practices would translate to a more effective product.

    My hopes came true, 100%! The first day I got this in, I was feeling exactly how I had been for the past couple of weeks. Down, couldn’t focus on anything longer than 5 minutes, couldn’t sit down and write, I couldn’t even watch a show without zoning out.

    I got the notification that this package was delivered, and immediately had 1 dropper of the CBG. An hour later, I found my brain buzzing with ideas, I felt like the dam blocking my creative flow had been destroyed, and now all these thoughts were flying into my head. Ideas for things I want to paint, videos I want to film, things I want to write about, after weeks of completely blanking on all of these things. I finally had a creative spark, again.

    And, the best part, I even had the motivation to actually follow through with the ideas again! I wasn’t just working for 5 minutes and then opening up reddit on my phone; I was able to fully immerse myself in my ideas, sit down and make them come to reality until they were completed. Whereas earlier I had no gas in my tank, I was suddenly topped up, and getting to work just sounded like a blast. It was fun to create, once again.

    Even after this productive day, I was still a little bit hesitant, thinking maybe it was placebo, or a fluke somehow. So I tried it again and again, and had the exact same result, every single time. No matter what, if I take a dropper of this CBN, I have levels of focus and motivation that I haven’t had in a long, long time.

    I can definitely say that this has been the most effective tool I’ve ever tried, in this regard! If you’re reading this because you’re in a similar position, even slightly, I strongly urge you to try this stuff out, you will not regret it!

    I used this discount code, ‘Dallas20’ for 20% off my order with Mellow Moose. Overall, it’s been a game changer for me, and I definitely recommend it.
