In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Also called "pre-baking," this step leads to stronger bang for you bud. Marijuana is filled with many compounds, some of which are medicinal/psychoactive, and some of which are not. You can get rid of the not so useful ones if you decarboxylate the weed first, which simply means baking it at a low temperature. This vaporizes compounds like THCA, which doesn't get you high, leading to a stronger butter. You can also use shake, leaves, or a mixture of buds and leaves if you'd like. You want a nice, low temperature. While a higher temp will remove the compounds faster, it will also cause wanted compounds, like terpenes (which give each strain it's unique aroma and flavor) to leak out too. 240°F is a good, safe temperature. You want smaller pieces of bud, roughly 1/2" or less in diameter, though exact measurements aren't needed. Use a baking sheet just big enough to contain all of the weed. Empty space will heat up the pan quickly, which causes uneven "cooking." When done, the weed will be a light brown color and will crumble easily in your hands. Don't grind it into a powder -- you just want it to be in small, manageable bits, like small pieces of gravel. You can use an herb grinder or simply pulse it quickly in a blender or food processor. This will remove some of the chlorophyll, dirt and fertilizers from the plant matter which can cause a "grassy" taste in your butter. THC and other cannabinoids are not water soluble, and will not be affected by the soak. When done, strain out the water with a colander and pat dry with paper towels.
Summary: Know that, while not necessary, decarboxylating is a simple process that makes the most of every bud. Pre-heat the oven to 240°F (115°C). Hand-crumble the weed into in a rimmed baking sheet, spreading so there are no holes or gaps. Bake the buds for 30 minutes or so, mixing it every 10 minutes to prevent burning. Grind the bud until it is a course mixture, with recognizable buds. Optionally, soak your cannabis in water for 20-60 minutes before cooking.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It’s much easier to have someone lay the stones on you than it is to lay the stones on yourself. Ask someone that you trust, such as a close friend or family member, if they would be willing to meditate with you and lay the stones on your body. Choose a time and place to meditate where there won’t be any distractions. Make sure to close the door and turn your phone off before starting. Try meditating in a guest bedroom or a room/space where you can feel the energy to be relaxing. You can also try going outside if the weather is nice. Once all of the stones are on your body, lay still for twenty minutes without moving or speaking. Keep your eyes closed and focus on taking deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. Let any thoughts that pop into your head come and go; try not to hang onto them.
Summary: Ask a friend to help you meditate. Find a private, quiet space. Lay quietly for twenty minutes.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most materials can be cleaned with a basic solution of vinegar and water. However, the application of this solution differs if you have suede shoes. Check to see if your shoes are suede before treating stains. If you find you have suede shoes, get a small scrub brush. A solution should be scrubbed on rather than dabbed on. Stuff the shoe immediately after you notice a salt stain. You want to begin the cleaning process as soon as possible. Stuffing your shoes with paper towel will help them retain their shape as you clean them. You can do this with any pairs of shoes, regardless of the material. An easy solution for cleaning salt stains can be made with white vinegar and water. Simply mix one part white vinegar to two parts water until you have an even mixture. You can also use a pre-made cleaning solution for shoes if you have one on hand. This can save you some time, but be sure to check the label. You want to be certain the solution is safe to use on the material of your shoes. Take a cloth and dip it in the solution. Wring it out until it's slightly damp. Remember, if you're cleaning suede shoes, use a brush. Get a brush slightly damp instead of a cloth. Begin gently scrubbing or brushing near the edge of the stain. As the stain begins to come out, move inward. You want to clean the edges first and then gradually move in. You want to work your way to the center and then scrub through to the other side of the stain. Do not use too much force. You do not want to damage the shoe by scraping off any material. Once you're done removing the stain, take a paper towel. Blot the area over the stain to remove any vinegar. Keep blotting until there is no longer vinegar visible on the stain. You may need to use more than one paper towel. Never attempt to dry shoes with a blow dryer or in the drying machine after washing them. Set them in a clean, dry space and let them air dry completely before wearing them again. Your shoes should air dry for at least 24 hours. If your boots are leather, buff on a leather cream after cleaning them. This is a cream you can buy online or at a department store. It's like lotion for dry skin. It keeps boots moisturized and prevents cracks and tears.
Summary:
Check the material. Stuff your shoes with paper towel. Prepare a solution. Moisten a cloth with your solution. Start at the corner of the stain and move inward. Blot out any excess vinegar. Let your shoes air dry. Follow up treatment with a leather cream.
