We\u2019re not talking golf or making flower arrangements, but making their very own weed-oil.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Organised by Wernard Bruining, owner of Amsterdam\u2019s very first coffeeshop back in the 70s and now medicinal cannabis pioneer and advisor, the participants have each brought 5 grams of the green plant. Some even bought it a few minutes before the class started at the coffeeshop around the corner. Today&#8217;s goal? Learn how to make your own CBD- or THC-oil, which are two of the main active substances in cannabis. \u2018Turning care-consumers, into care-producers,\u2019 as Bruining likes to call it.<\/p>\n<p>One of the ladies giggles while using a big grinder to break the cannabis up into small bits, because she \u2018feels like a junkie\u2019, doing this. I can tell this is very new to her. \u201cI wanted to try it, because it\u2019s good to expand your horizons,\u201d she explains. She looks very excited to be here, taking in all the information that is given during the presentation, while at the same time ambitiously taking notes. With her cat-eye glasses and lace collar, she doesn\u2019t look like the typical kind of person you\u2019d expect at a workshop like this. Still I couldn\u2019t tell you what kind of person I did expect.<\/p>\n<p>Each participant has their own reason for joining today. From stage four cancer patients, to rheumatism, fibromyalgia and arthritis. It seems like there is no ache the plant can\u2019t cure, or at least lessen. Bruining gives personalised advice to everyone in the room. Trouble sleeping? Stressed? Painful joints? Nauseous? Knot in your neck? I\u2019m sure you can guess the answer by now.<\/p>\n<p>To explain in detail exactly how the oil is made, would be too complicated, but in short 96% pure alcohol is added to the cannabis which removes the oil from the leaves. After that it\u2019s a matter of evaporating the alcohol and thinning out the thick residue with olive oil. And voil\u00e0: your own medication. Bruining\u2019s advice? Get high off your own supply at least once, just to know how it feels and to know what your limits are. On top of that it\u2019s actually a lot of fun, he tells the audience with a wink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[aesop_gallery  id=&#8221;682&#8243; revealfx=&#8221;off&#8221; overlay_revealfx=&#8221;off&#8221;]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a small city in the middle of the Netherlands, eight seniors join each other on a Friday afternoon for a group activity.
