1. Create Your Own Cannabis-Infused Oils
One of the most versatile DIY projects for cannabis lovers is making infused oils. These can be used in cooking, topical applications, or as a base for other products. Here’s a simple method:
- Decarboxylate your cannabis in the oven at 240°F for 40 minutes
- Combine the decarboxylated cannabis with your chosen oil (coconut, olive, etc.) in a slow cooker
- Cook on low for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally
- Strain through cheesecloth and store in an airtight container
2. Craft Your Own CBD Topicals
CBD-infused topicals are great for localized relief. Create your own by mixing CBD oil with:
- Shea butter
- Beeswax
- Essential oils for fragrance
Melt the ingredients together, pour into containers, and let cool for a personalized CBD balm.
3. Build a DIY Humidity-Controlled Storage Box
Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the quality of your cannabis. Create a humidity-controlled box using:
- A wooden cigar box or small container
- A hygrometer to monitor humidity
- Boveda packs for humidity control
This will help preserve your cannabis’s potency and flavor.
4. Make Your Own Cannabis Tinctures
Tinctures offer a discreet and precise way to consume cannabis. To make your own:
- Decarboxylate your cannabis
- Place in a mason jar with high-proof alcohol
- Store in a cool, dark place for 2-6 weeks, shaking daily
- Strain and store in dropper bottles
5. Create a DIY Bubble Hash
Bubble hash is a solventless concentrate that’s easy to make at home. You’ll need:
- Ice water
- Bubble bags
- Cannabis trim or flower
- A large bucket
Layer the bags in the bucket, add ice, water, and cannabis, then agitate to separate the trichomes.
6. Grow Your Own Herbs for Blending
Enhance your cannabis experience by growing complementary herbs like lavender, peppermint, or chamomile. These can be blended with your cannabis for unique flavors and effects.
7. Design a Custom Rolling Tray
Personalize your cannabis routine with a custom rolling tray. Use a wooden tray and:
- Paint or stain it
- Add decoupage elements
- Apply a protective sealant
This creates a functional and artistic piece for your cannabis setup.
8. Craft Reusable Cannabis Tea Bags
For a soothing cannabis-infused tea, create reusable tea bags:

- Tie securely and steep in hot water
