Cannabis Cookery

Cannabis brownies represent much more than a simple cannabis-infused dessert — they are a symbol of resistance and compassion born on the streets of San Francisco during one of the most devastating health crises of the twentieth century. Mary Jane Rathbun, known as "Brownie Mary", revolutionised the perception of medicinal cannabis in the 1980s. Working as a volunteer on Ward 86 of San Francisco General Hospital, the country's first clinic dedicated to AIDS, this grandmother-like woman handed out hundreds of cannabis brownies to patients suffering the devastating effects of the disease and its treatments.

For a variety of reasons, cannabis users may prefer not to smoke (or even vaporise) their herb. The most obvious reason for this might be a respiratory illness, such as asthma, but others may simply not enjoy the taste or smell of cannabis smoke or may wish to avoid smoking out of discretion or consideration for a roommate, family member or pet. Although edibles are a great alternative for those who prefer not to display their cannabis consumption while still enjoying all the benefits of weed, these products have a limited shelf life. Even chocolates will only keep their fresh flavour for a few weeks (although they may still be edible). By using alcohol to extract the THC and CBD from your cannabis, you can create a tincture that can be stored for a relatively long time: a full year is not an unreasonable shelf-life expectancy if stored properly. The tincture can be consumed directly by diluting it in water or other beverages, such as fruit juice.

Are you bored of cannabis oil and cannabis butter? If so, we’d like to suggest a new culinary option that will certainly captivate you if you appreciate the creamier side of life! Maybe cannabis milk is not a new thing, but it’s versatile, tasty, and incredibly easy to prepare. It can be used to make a wide variety of food, ranging from ice cream to wow your guests with in the summer; a bechamel sauce to make top-notch Spanish croquettes; or some cannabis cream to combine with your morning coffee. A warm cup of cannabis milk before bedtime can even work a treat against insomnia and help you sink into your mattress while you dream of cows grazing in greener pastures. Why consider cannabis milk? Smoking or vaping marijuana are simple consumption methods that don’t involve cooking, simmering, or decarboxylating your cannabis. With these methods, the effects are triggered almost instantaneously, and then disappear in a short time. Edibles, on the other hand, are so much fun, because they produce a sensation that you can feel all over your body for hours. Assuming that you’re not lactose intolerant, edibles made with cannabis milk will provide you with a safe, pleasurable, and long-lasting cannabis experience.

Cannabutter is a basic ingredient in the world of cannabis cooking. Spread on toast by itself and with jam, or as a base for the preparation of sweets and desserts, it’s a great way to consume cannabis. Suitable both for therapeutic purposes and for recreational purposes, cannabutter offers non-smokers the possibility of consuming cannabis. The consumption of cannabis butter Without a doubt, the most widespread form of cannabis use is smoking (combustion). Lately there has been a plethora of electronic cigarettes and other devices designed to vaporise cannabis, offering a combustion-free alternative to traditional ways of smoking weed (joint, pipes, bongs, etc.). Another form of cannabis use is via ingestion as food, it is perhaps a less widespread form of consumption but just as creative, fun and effective as any other form of cannabis use. Ingesting cannabis in food avoids any of the respiratory side-effects provoked by smoking or vaporisation. To consume cannabis as food, all that’s necessary is to take the corresponding dose, which will obviously vary according to the physical constitution of each person and the tolerance of each individual to the consumption of cannabis.
