You might have heard that essential oils can be used in a humidifier but can weed oil be used in a humidifier? Both weed oil and essential oils are extracted from plants, but they differ in how they function and interact with the body.
That said, a typical humidifier doesn’t heat to steam that would be required for someone to intake the compound.
Weed oil can be put in a humidifier to provide an aromatic atmosphere in a room. And some weed oils even contain other essential oils to provide more benefits when used as aromatherapy. However, when weed oil is used in a humidifier or diffuser, this won’t lead to significant health benefits one would get from consuming the weed oil or using it on the skin.
And as a matter of fact, while you may put weed oil in their humidifier, the cannabinoids in weed oil are not soluble in water and could shorten the humidifier’s lifespan.
It is also essential to note that weed oil is not the same as the essential oils that are typically used in a humidifier. Below is a table to help you remember the difference between the two.
Differences between weed oil and essential oil
| Weed oil | Essential oil |
| – weed oils can be consumed | – Essential oils can’t be consumed |
| – Is beneficial when consumed | – Provide the benefit by inhaling the scent |
| – Weed oil works within the body | – Essential oils work through the smell |
However, if you want to get the most out of weed oil, this works great if it can:
1. Be applied to the skin
2. In cannabis products such as serum, lotions, and body oils
