Sounds interesting, no clue what the outcome would be but interesting for sure.
Consider growing a CBD heavy strain for this? Iād think that would be the best path for soaps, lotions, etc but Iām really just speculating.
Following along here for sure.

@CygnusX1 thanks for the reply!!
Yea I plan on doing some CBD in the future but I have all these fan leaves I was going to compost and there are trace amounts of amazing properties still in there! I just wanna try it in a soap, and am super interested if other people would be too!
Iāve made hemp soap and CBD soap and lotions and all thatā¦. BUT itās not very cost efficientā¦ and to be honest soap isnāt on your skin long enough to be like OH MAN PAIN RELIEF (like a strong CBD salve would)
I just really wanna use as much of my grows as I can! 
and since its free ingredients, thank you Jill, I figured why not!

Lots of goodness in there for sure. I made fan leaf pesto and some other stuff and plan to do it again in the current grow. Similar thought, super greens and no waste.
Iād be interest to check out what you have if you sell / ship anything. My IG is CygnusX101.

Storz & Bickel all the way for dry herb and yes, plenty can be done with the AVB. Next favorite are the Dynavap vaporizers. Whole different concept but amazing. Last in line for me is the PAX 3. Havenāt used that much since getting the Dynavap and S&B Crafty +.
I think I have some pics of peanut butter cups we made with the AVB that did their job quite well. Also some cashew Alfredo with fan leaves. All should be in my first grow journal (gelato auto).

OOOOH PEANUT BUTTER CUPS! I donāt do many edibles cuz I canāt store em long enough and Iām a micro doser (and the only one who partakes in my household at the moment) so I hate to make a batch of anything and waste it.
I was looking at the vivant alternate? Someone said itās a pretty good go to also: but now Iām going to research those (storz and dyna)
Looking for a decent priced one but nothing im going to have to replace soon since I plan to use it A LOT during throughout the day. Quality but not like desktop one 
a little steep for this gal

Both are high quality and will last a long time. The Dynavap requires a torch for heating, I was skeptical at first but itās amazing and virtually indestructible. I grabbed an Ispire Wand induction heater and that combo is amazing.
If you donāt mind a slight learning curve and heating with a torch lighter the Dynavaps are absolutely the best value going for the $.
Sorry for bringing us so far off topic. Soap!!

Haha no thatās fine! Youāve seen my other postā¦. Tangents are welcome!!
Iāve never used a dry herb vape so a learning curve might be tricky lol but if itās a good choice than itās worth a shot!
A pesto sounds amazing tho. I love the super green aspect of it too! I usually make like kale spinach garlic ice cubes to toss in my sauces or what notā¦ I could just blend those puppies up too snd freeze em with the other blend!
All my trim is submerged in oil at the moment so next grow Iāll be trying that!!

@BigMommaC for whatever itās worth I have absolutely used CBD heavy flower and some THC heavy flower that wasnāt exactly smokeable to make infused coconut oil. I then used the coconut oil for bath bombs - my MIL suffers from severe neuropathy, so bathing is super painful for her (canāt take showers at all, and limits a bath to exactly as long as it needs to be to get clean). A 20 minute soak in an infused bath bomb is the best time sheās had bathing since before the neuropathy got bad bad.
Iād bet a nice infused lotion or similar topical would be stellar - I may not bother with soap since it would very likely not sit on the surface of skin long enough to absorb fully. I could be wrong.

Yea you are correct: contact with CBD or thc in a soap wouldnāt be worth the green. plus the scraps of my harvested plant would have such a small amount of those anyway it would be mostly for the (claimed) calming, anti inflammatory, gentle goodness of a natural bar of old school soap and not deeper absorption benefits.
Primarily it would be more for the idea of an infused soap and to use the leftover product without having to worry too closely about strict fda guidelines pertaining to the cosmetic use of the item. Wet wash rinse repeat. 
Yes bath bombs are amazing too. I may have to look into making them again. I just love doing soap so thatās why I choose the soap route.
I canāt imagine Iād be getting enough of any pain relieving aspect of the plant, from just āwasteā and leftovers to make a noticeable difference (itās literally just the trimmed off fan leaves and main stem Iād be using)
lol I want to stick more towards the nourishing properties of the hemp oil and any herbal/green type benefits youād find in most super plants! like the last ditch effort in extracting as much as I can from herā¦ and making a natural ācool conceptā type product without people expecting some incredible result besides a luxurious stoner friendly soap that cleans without any nasty ingredients!!
My unscented hemp soap was originally made for a friend of mine during chemo treatments. Her skin was blistered and beyond sensitive to any productsā¦ and she loves it!
So I more wanna just add some silly but still good for ya appeal to my passion! I mean, why not combine my love of natural products with my love of cannabis!?

Iām sure you haveā¦. But you should try adding some magnesium flakes to the bath too. Start with a smaller amount than recommended until you see how it makes her feel. I make a magnesium oil for my aches, pains, sciatica and restless legs. Great for people who work out or get cramps or sore muscles too. I spray my legs down before bed to prevent the twitching that seems to come with the nerve pain (never find a comfortable spot)
Just be aware it āstinglesā (stings and tingles) for a bit when applied. It can (and usually is) rinsed off after 10-15 min or after the bath.
I personally will just spray and leave it to sting a while as a change of pace from my usual discomfort 
I use the spray a little on the bottom of my toddlers feet at night too, helps her with the āsquirmiesā and assists with sleep too.
No sting, but still absorbed.

Sheās made! Blueberry canna soap! 
Using leftover Cactus Jill (blueberry auto) bits and pieces infused into hemp oil to add in! 
Iāll cut her in a few days and then the waiting beginsā¦ 
6 weeks until curedā¦

(my lovely little Blueberry Auto) 
to the end of the recipe I think I could still harness and save some of the cannabinoids and beneficial properties of the CBD and terpenes from the plant even during the saponification processā¦ donāt wanna cook all the good stuff away when it heats up to do its thing! 
considering itās part of the plant with > any amount of thc. Plus it wouldnāt be decarbed (Iāve been slow infusing with organic hemp oil) so any thc that may be possibly present wouldnt have any psychoactive effectsā¦. Just the glorious topical treats youād find in other essential oils or poulticesā¦ 
wash off product per fda cosmetic guidelines) work so well for moisturizing and soothing (
LET ME KNOW! I donāt wanna use my oils for soap if itās going to be wastedā¦ I need to know if my fellow growers, smokers and cannafam would find this intriguing and worth the chance taken!
