Anti-inflammatory properties are especially important for people who have acne. Also, cosmetics that contain cannabis hydrate the skin very well, so if you have dry skin, make your own cream.
4. Beer
Combine your favorite beverage, beer and cannabis. Although there are also commercial beers with cannabis, it is not yet as popular as cosmetics, so make your own. It is up to you to put in as much cannabis as you want to be tall. If you don’t like beer, you can make cannabis cocktails and it will be the best party you have ever organized.

Chocolates are another type of edibles with gummies that you can infuse with cannabis. The calming effects of chocolate on humans are known, and if you add cannabis, the effect will be even better. It is very easy to make cannabis chocolate. Melt the chocolate you like, milk or black, and then add cannabis in coconut oil for example.
