Cooking with Cannabis

Rather than tell you how to make a cake or cookies with cannabis (go look up the recipe!), this section is dedicated to the theory of how to use cannabis successfully in any recipe that requires butter, fats or oils.

Important points to remember when cooking with cannabis are that you need to ensure an even spread of cannabis throughout the chosen dish and that the meal or item produced should not be too heavy. If you have a full stomach then the cannabis constituents will take longer to enter the bloodstream - this is not to say that eating raw hash is better. By making for instance biscuits your stomach will produce bile when you eat, which will assist in the digestion of THC. Another point is to avoid using recipes with excessive sugar as this may slow down or dilute the effects.

The basic principal in cooking with cannabis is to first extract the THC into a fat, for example butter or an oil. You do this basically by adding the cannabis to hot oil and allowing it to dissolve, then you add the oil/cannabis mix to the food you're preparing.

If you live in or near an Asian community, you can do even better by using ghee (clarified butter) which is widely used in Asian cookery. Because ghee has been clarified, had all the impurities taken out, it tends to become very hot when liquefied, so be very careful when melting it!

Powder the cannabis, the pieces should be as small as possible. Next, weigh your prepared cannabis and note how much there is. A ratio of 1 ounce (28 g) to 1 lb (450-500 g) of ghee is recommended. Working with this ratio a recipe requiring 125 g would contain about 7 g (1/4 ounce) of cannabis. Measure out the correct amount of ghee for your supply of cannabis and begin to heat. Once the ghee has melted turn down the heat so that the oil is not burning or cooling off.. Sprinkle in your crumbled cannabis and stir gently. It is up to you how long you heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, to ensure the THC fully dissolves, but around an hour is a good guide. When your ghee is cooked, place a clean cloth in a sieve and drain the (very hot!) mixture into a pan or bowl and leave to cool.

If you're using herbal cannabis you may find that a lot of cannabis enriched ghee remains on the leaf matter. Most of this can be recouped by placing the plant matter and cloth in a pan. Cover them with clean water and bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 minutes. Carefully retrieve the (hot) cloth and use it to reline the sieve. Put the sieve over a second bowl and strain the leaf/ghee/water mixture through it. The THC rich ghee will form a suspension in the water and will flow through the sieve into the bowl. Finish by rinsing the sieve with some boiling water. Put the bowl aside and allow to cool for a few hours, as it does so the oil comes out of suspension gathers at the surface and solidifies near the edge., allowing you to pour off the water. This operation can recover up to a 1/3 of your ghee so it is well worth going to the trouble.

The ghee, or sacred ghee as the Hindus call it, can now be used in any recipe calling for marg or butter - biscuits and cakes are a favourite.

Getting the strength right is the difficult part, since this depends on the strength of the cannabis you're using as well as simply the amount, thanks to prohibition there's no way of knowing how strong it is without "sucking and seeing". UKCIA advises that you make a large number of cakes or biscuits - say make 10 from 2grms (1/16th ounce) for starters and see how you go from there. You can always eat more than one if you think you need it.

Hash Coffee

2 methods for this, either do the trick. Method 1) Boil a kettle, while the
kettle is boiling, heat and crumble 1 or 2 average spliffs worth into a mug,
add coffee powder. Pour in the boling water, then add milk and sugar to
taste. Enjoy Method 2) Measure a mug full of milk into a suacepan. Heat and
crumble 1 or 2 average spliffs into the milk and slowly bring the milk up to
the boil. Once the milk has boiled, add the milk to a teaspoon of coffee
granules or powder, then add sugar to taste. Enjoy

Milk Shake Trip

1. Pour your usual amount of milk in a glass and the nestle powder.
2. Then all you need to do is get a grater or cannabis crusher. Make the cannabis in to powder form.
3. 1 teaspoon will do the job, add it in to the milkshake then you will definitely be flying.

My favourite one is chocolate, its been tested by myself. Trust me its nice you
just can’t resist just making one after another
