Difficulty: Moderate

1. Use the oil for aromatherapy. You can place a few drops of cannabis essential oil in an aromatherapy dish or you can mix it with other scents such as lavender to get a relaxing and soothing scent. Relax in the bath or simply place the oil around your home to notice the healthy effects of the oil.
2. Mix the oil into natural perfumes. If you prefer natural scents to harsh smelling or alcohol-based perfume or cologne, then try using cannabis essential oil as a base of additive for a natural scent that is healthy for your skin and general system.
3. Use the oil for plant protection. Studies have found that cannabis essential oil has an anti-fungal effect in plants. Using the cannabis oil to protect plants will take a little bit of experimentation since the study of the oil's effects on plants is still in early stages. However, the oil is very unlikely to harm plants and will most likely produce either no effect or a positive one.
4. Try the oil as an insect repellent. If you don't like to use harsh chemical insect repellents such as DEET, cannabis essential oil is a well proven substitute for certain kinds of repellent. The alpha-pinene and limonene components of the oil are known to have repellent effects for a number of different kinds of insects. Rub a teaspoon of the oil onto your skin and enjoy the benefits of natural insect repellent.
