my oldest daughters mother in law mixes a 1/8 ounce in a quart of menthol type of rubbing alcohol. she gets bad patches on her elbows and swears by the stuff. last time i gave her some i tried talking her into saving some of it for the pipe. lol she is old school mexican, she has all kinds of cures that seem like voodoo to me at times.

hey john, she just mixes it together and lets it steep for a few days. after that she uses it like a splash, you know, a little in the hands and she rubs it in.

The Mexicans have been steeping it in alcohol for years. Just use the leaf. Let it steep for a week and strain it out.

Sweet thanks for the info guys. Im gonna try make some once I get a significant amount of leaf. Never hurts to try things right.

Im gonna assume that that hemp lotion sold at walmart is crap, i amwilling to bet that there is tons of crap in it, like SLS's and probably less than 1% hemp.

Sorry to hear that bro, mrsa infections can be very tuff to deal with.

I have severe psoriasis on my scalp, nothing over the counter works, just makes it worse.

It's made from the leaf and it's used for muscle pain. The Walmart crap is made from hemp seed. Not a bad lotion. Nothing special except that you can buy hemp at Walmart. That might be worth supporting.

Your totally right i wont use any body products that are sold at walmart, i actually refuse to shop there.

Id like to find a recipe to make it into a cream though, rather than a splash. I think a cream would work better cause it could sit on the area for a much longer period allowing more cannabiods to enter the body.

Malibu HEMP Moisturizer
This lotion says it contains "CoQ10 to moisturise, firm and reduce wrinkles while subtly enhancing skin with a healthy glow".. It also contains Coconut oil, Hempseed oil, Sesame oil, Jojoba oil and several others. I give it a thumbs up!!!
Not tested on animals.

coconut oil is SLS sodium lorel sulfate which is very very very bad for you. its also used in engine degreaser.

i have super sensitive skin and can only use certain products.

generally the rule of thumb is if walmart sells it, its very bad for you.
