Time to take HEMP / Marijuana off the schedule 1 drug list,

Can you believe Alabama's stupid laws?

Concentrates such as wax & oil are produced by big companies & are legal; but they'll confiscate your house if you try to grow this humble plant at home.

Many heads need removing from rectums!

Making sure that the rich get richer and that we get sicker!

Of all of the ingredients, stearic acid is the ONLY one that is not carcinogenic; in fact, to the contrary, it is used to firm up and/or thicken so many products IF we use natural products. You'll find it in conditioners, some soaps, body butters & lotions of all types, solid perfume bars, etc.

The main reason I don't use it is the high melting point. I use organic products for a reason - because they feed the skin - and heating them more than necessary to melt them reduces their nutritive properties.

Paraffin candles cause lung cancer...

So, better to put in a bunch MORE cancer-causing chemical scents so people will buy them by the dozen, right?

My candles are beeswax; IF I scent them, I use essential oils that complement the beeswax scent, like orange or lavender.

Beeswax candles can actually purify air in your room, to the point that they can keep a cold from going around the family, even.

Great information, not much on candles, but keep them for emergencies

I do keep some cheap paraffin candles for emergencies, and oil lamps as well (hurricane zone here).

But I take the time to make my beeswax candles properly so that they last.

I used beeswax this morning already - melted into a blend of mango butter, cocoa butter & shea butter, heated very low.

Then I added all my "rich" cosmetic oils in various amounts & blended it. I just added the Patchouli essential oil & blended that in & it's cooling now.

Then it goes into the freezer for awhile & later I'll whip the heck out of it until it forms the rich body butter or extra-thick lotion I need for my gardener's hands.

Right now, they're so rough I'm praying Miss Piggy doesn't need help farrowing... She's 2 days overdue & keeps escaping her pen so I have to put her back each time.

Time for me to go check on her again!
