5 Ways to Make the Most Out of Cannabis Trim

Intro:

Cannabis trim is an often underutilized portion of the plant.

When you separate your bud and smoke the usual parts of the cannabis, you leave behind a little pile of stems and other bits.

While these parts are not the best for rolling up or smoking in a pipe, you can use them for various other things.

In this post, you’ll learn 5 ways to make the most of this extra cannabis trim.

After all, you paid for it, so there’s no reason you shouldn’t utilize it for something useful, right?

Now, let’s get into it and discuss how you can start making the most of your extra trim.

By using these parts, you’re saving money, reducing waste, and maximizing the use of your favorite green plant.

1. Use It For Cooking

One thing about cannabis trim is that, just like the rest of the plant, it contains a lot of notable cannabinoids, including THC.

Therefore, you can combine this with various types of food to make edibles.

Some of these include pot butter, brownies, cookies, cakes, and more.

However, it is not as straightforward as it sounds.

Whenever you want to use the trim, you need to heat the trimmed parts so you can extract the THC content from them.

Whether you are trying to cook or bake, extracting THC from the trim can be tricky.

So, it’s always a good idea to do your research and make sure that you’re doing it correctly.

2. Add It To Your Drinks

Did you know that cannabis-infused vodka is a drink you can create at home?

You can even put cannabis trim in your milk to make cannabis milk!

There are different techniques for doing this.

However, they all revolve around the same principle.

To do this, you use a specific technique to heat the trim, mix the trim with the liquid, then strain the little stems and extra bits out of the liquid so that you’re left with a cannabis-infused drink for your enjoyment.

3. Use It To Make An Extract

If you enjoy making tinctures and extracts, you can use extra cannabis trim to create your own versions of these things.

In fact, one of the best things about trim is that you can make your extract without using the best parts of your cannabis (the smokable parts).

With that being said, making the extract is a delicate process—and there are two main methods for making the extraction.

You can either use solvent-based or solventless extraction for the THC.

Each method has its benefits and drawbacks.

So, once again, make sure to do your research—to decide which method you prefer (and which one will work better for you) before you proceed.

4. Use It To Make Topical Salve Or Cream

You can use your extra cannabis trim to make topical salves or creams that can soothe irritated or sore joints and skin.

There are various methods you can use to make salves and creams.

However, one of the best ways to do this is with coconut oil, which works surprisingly well.

You can also make a pretty awesome cannabis salve out of beeswax—and you get some pretty awesome results with olive oil as well (if you know what you’re doing).

5. Use It As An Herbal Cooking Spice

Did you know you can grind up your trim and use it for cooking like any other spice?

You can sprinkle it on your pizza, use it on your garlic bread, put it in a sauce, etc.

Cannabis trim has a distinct and interesting flavor, so it gets mixed reactions.

Some people aren’t fans of it, while others love it.

However, you should at least try it for yourself.

Who knows?

You may end up falling in love with the flavor.
