  3. Cook over low heat for at least 12 hours. Caution: Turn off the slow cooker if you are away.

DIY Aromatic Canna Candle

Valentine's Cannabis Gifts

Aromatherapy has a long history being used in sacred grounds, such as temples as part of healing rituals. Up to this day, the scented candle industry continues to thrive because there is still a large demand in spas, households and healing centers.

An aromatic candle can alter a surly mood with the right aromas added in. Cannabis is an aroma that may help reach a deeper meditative state. Since cannabis is a natural relaxant, it can ease your stressed mind and body.

Many religious cultures all over the world used cannabis as incense before it was found as a psychoactive inhalant. We thought of the Aromatic Canna Candle as a perfect gift for those, who are always seeking for ways to relax. Here’s how to do it:

Materials:

  • 1 lb. Candle Wax
  • Hemp Wick
  • 14 oz. Mason Jar or Teacup
  • Glue Gun
  • 1 Piece Card Stock
  • A Double Boiler or Glass bowl and Saucepan
  • Food Thermometer
  • 1 oz. Hemp Seed Oil or Cannabis tincture
  • Gift bag and ribbons  

Directions:

  1. Melt the wax on medium-low heat by using a double boiler or a glass bowl on top of a saucepan with boiling water.
  1. While melting the wax, take the glue gun and glue the wick to the very center of the bottom of the glass jar or teacup. Remember to measure an excess of hemp wick to be trimmed later.
  2. While still keeping an eye on the melting wax, cut the cardstock larger than the jar but with about ⅕ of the card removed to reveal a pouring area. Cut a hole in the middle of the card stock to suspend the hemp wick towards the bottom of the jar.
  3. Once the wax is all melted,  let it cool for 30 seconds before adding 1 oz. of hemp seed oil or cannabis tincture. If you’d like a specific color to be added, this is the best time to add coloring.
  4. Pour the wax into the mason jar or teacup, leaving about 1 cm of space from the top of the container to the wax. Allow to cool completely and trim the wick to about a half inch.
  1. Put your DIY Aromatic Canna Candle inside a custom or ready made gift bag and decorate with ribbons.
