| Cannabis candle |
Some years ago we use to know that the only use of cannabis is for smoking but in this advance world technology has prove to us that cannabis can play important role in everybody's life aside smoking.
There are several different ways to consume cannabis, and some of them don’t even involve actual consumption. Cannabis candles are beginning to take over the candle game, allowing cannabis enthusiasts to enjoy the smell they’re used to having to cover up and hide: the danky goodness of weed.
As cannabis becomes less stigmatized in modern culture, people are beginning to come out and admit to their cannabis use. While smoking weed used to be something people felt they had to keep on the down low, the culture is becoming increasingly mainstream and the scent is now sought after rather than condemned.
What is a Cannabis Candle?
Cannabis candles are exactly as they sound: candles that are infused with elements of the cannabis plant. Using cannabis essential oil and distilled oil with terpenes found in the plant, these candles are made to emulate the overall experience and aura of smoking weed.
Although cannabis candles may smell like they’ll get you high, this is just an illusion--lighting a scented cannabis candle won’t have any serious psychoactive effects.
However, the candle could emit some of cannabis’s healing properties, specifically from the terpenes involved. Additionally, if you light a candle in tandem with a smoke session, the combined effects of the candle’s terpene oils and the THC you’re smoking on may enhance your overall experience.
Cannabis Candles for Aromatherapy
While cannabis candles won’t have any sort of major psychoactive effect on you, they do have powerful aromatherapeutic properties that bring a host of benefits to the user.
Aromatherapy is a practice that uses the inhalation of essential oils to boost moods, increase energy, encourage relaxation, relieve pain, and more. Cannabis essential oil is recognized for its balancing properties: mind and body.

Some of the most common terpenes that are used in cannabis candles are myrcene, limonene, and linalool.
Myrcene is easily the most commonly-found terpene among cannabis plants today. Also found in thyme, mangoes, and lemongrass, the terpene promotes calming and relaxing effects. It’s present in strains like Grandaddy Purple, OG Kush, and Blue Dream. Myrcene is used to promote sleep, relieve pain, and soothe anxiety.
Limonene is another incredibly popular terpene, also found in citrus fruits like lemons or oranges. It’s easily recognizable for its orange-ish hue and citrusy, fruity aroma. Limonene is also used in a lot of natural cleaning products and cosmetics, because of its antibacterial properties. It is great for stress relief, mood elevation, and relaxation, and is found in strains like Wedding Cake, MAC, and Berry White.
Linalool is one of the most beautifully aromatic terpenes found in the cannabis plant, and therefore perfect for candle infusion. Also found in lavender and some spices, the terpene is known for its floral, clean scent. It’s found in strains like Amnesia Haze or Lavender Kush and promotes relaxation and depression and anxiety relief.
Between these terpenes and the many others found in cannabis, there is plenty of variety to experience when choosing your cannabis candle. Whether you prefer floral or woodsy scents, relaxation or an energetic boost, there’s definitely a cannabis candle out there for you.
CBD Candles
Interested in the idea of cannabis candle benefits, but not crazy about the smell of weed? If so, CBD candles might be a better choice for you.
Rather than infusing the candle with cannabis essential oil, CBD candles use CBD oil. CBD is great for pain reduction, controlling muscle spasms, and soothing depression and anxiety.
Candles made with cannabis essential oil are much more likely to smell like the plant, but CBD candles take a backseat to the terpene distilled oil and other essential oils that may be infused into your candle. Overall, this makes for a milder scent and experience.
CBD candles are great for enhancing the aromatherapeutic effects that already exist in the candle, and when lit may help to reduce any stress or anxiety you may be experiencing.
Although using CBD candles obviously doesn’t involve consumption, you may still experience the positive effects of the cannabinoid when you spark that wick. A 2017 study revealed that when people breathed in CBD-infused essential oils, there was a noticeable lowering of blood pressure. The participants also felt calmer and more energetic after inhaling.
As with most things cannabis, more research still needs to be done on the overall effects of CBD candles, but so far the anecdotal evidence suggests that the benefits seem to transfer when inhaled.
The cannabis candle last longer than the normal candles we use to know in market place.
