Raw Cannabis Juice

I am starting out with a few ounces of fresh “wet” cannabis. I have selected high CBD varieties along with “normal THC” plants. I used lower branches along with any buds with burn or discoloration or just anything that did not look ideal. All the fan leaves and anything not a stem is ok to use. The resulting juice should be around a 1:1 ratio of THC to CBD. I will destem all the branches and begin juicing.

The juicer did struggle with the stems quite a bit and I had to clear the cutting head twice. The sooner you can begin juicing from the time of harvest the better.If you are going to be more than a few hours put the stems in some water like fresh cut flowers. Anyone who has juiced before knows how little actual juice you get from a seemingly large amount of material. The good part is that I can make some butter out of all the leftover material.

Now I will put the juice into some ice cube trays to freeze and put in my favorite drinks. The taste is very “green” like wheat grass., I will use it in a cocktail or a smoothie to mask the heavy chlorophyll flavor. Do not expect to get high from this drink, it is non-psychoactive, the advantage is that you can take mega doses to achieve pain and anxiety relief.

This is my first time trying raw cannabis after using the dried buds for over twenty-five years both medically and recreationally. Getting older, I have noticed how much it helps for joint pain and relaxation, not to mention an alcohol substitute. I have been intrigued by the claims of the health benefits from the raw juice and am excited to try some for myself. I will make a post about the physical pain relief I am able to achieve if any and let you know how well it worked out.
