A Stoner's Epiphany

So, the other day, I was extremely high on some luscious fruity pebbles. It is one of those weeds that gives me a pleasant, bubbly high and a serious case of the munchies. But something was different this time around. Let me give you some history leading up the event I'm about to tell you:

My man and I have a great relationship, but a few days ago, maybe a week or so past, we got into a huge fight. Screaming, tears, walking away and in the midst of all of that, we came found that we loved each other- more so on my part and I couldn't let him go. No way. Not ever. It was an experience of love that totally catapulted my view of the world. Never had I once felt something so real and later that night, when all was quiet, the house empty while he was at work, I reached a moment of womanhood. I gazed about my home, the things we had built and I simply thought- a time of thinking in the glorious haze induced by some powerful weed. My mind whirled with memories of life and yet I looked at them from a whole new perspective. It was overwhelming and I'm sure I cried tears of joys that only seemed to enhance my high.

Now, if anyone knows me, they know that my passion in life is literature. The written word consumes my life. It has bewitched my mind and soul. In this moment of self-discovery, I was hit with the most powerful inspiration I have ever experienced. I akin this feeling to what the disciples must have felt when led by God to write the Bible. A thought was placed in my mind and from it sprung a short passage of truth that I can't believe stemmed from my fingers. I was entranced and absorbed in its writing till in  the moment of its completion, I resurfaced with a gasp. The epiphany I had was spiritual, beyond what I had written before. Now, this could all have been because I was high enough to connect with the heavens or maybe just a bit lost in the crazy haze of love, but here it is anyways for you to ponder for yourself:

A Woman's Epiphany~

The world is against weed because Satan is against weed. Weed is an herb of enlightenment. It connects someone with themselves and opens eyes to the realities of life. It reveals and sharpens Satan's sins in this world and brings us to focus on the glorious little things that God puts here to bring us peace. Satan, a lover of all twisted and evil, despises weed for the state of Nirvana in which it places its smokers- a state where contemplation of the world is inevitable. God's beauty, love and peace consume, overwhelming us in a haze of truth.

A bit of a challenge...

Okay....So I thought we could start off with basics, but I think it's time to move onto something more complicated and I think a whole lot more fun. If you enjoy cooking, like I do, then you will like the challenge of this recipe. A mature couple could enjoy this meal at the end of the day or for a nice anniversary meal. The effects of the meal will send you into stoner bliss as well, so take advantage of the happy bellies and the high and make some sweet love to each other. Here's the scoop: 

Cannabis Pot Roast
The key to cooking this weed recipe is having all your ingredients ready to go. You fail to prepare, you prepare to fail!

Ingredients:

3-4 pound chuck roast-tied
8-16 oz of fresh baby carrots
2-3 pounds small white rose potatoes-washed and quartered
½ stalk of celery- chopped
3 medium sweet onions-chopped
1 8oz package of frozen peas
1\3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 ½ cups good red wine (try Zinfandel)
3-4 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1-teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons of Lea and Perrins
1-2 bay leaves (remove before serving)
1-2 cups seasoned flour (pinch of salt/pepper/ plus a teaspoon of
“essence”
3 tablespoons of kief butter or better bud butter

2Tbl cracked black pepper, 1Tbl paprika, 1Tbl salt,
1Tbl onion powder, 1Tbl cayenne pepper, 1Tbl granulated garlic, 2Tbl
bud butter.

Directions:

Heat the oil and sauté the onions until clear in a large and deep flame
proof pot. Roll the roast in seasoned flour shaking off the excess and
set aside. Deglaze the pot with some of the red wine and bring back to
high heat. Brown the roast on all sides (takes about 5-7 minutes) in
the cooked onions, wine, and flour.

Add the beef stock, wine, garlic, vegetables, Lea and Perrins, and
spices. Make sure the liquid just barely covers the roast. Bring up to
heat then reduce the heat down to about as low as it will go. Cook
covered for one to one and half hours or until the vegetables are fork
tender, turning the roast every 30-60 minutes. Remove vegetables and
set aside warm for later (if you leave them in you get veggie mush).

Add the bud butter, cover again and cook for an additional 2-21\2 hours or until the roast is fork tender. Remove roast and set aside for 15 minutes. If you carve the roast before it “sets” the juices will run out.

Serve the pot roast with vegetables of your choice and nice jug of gravy!
That’s a cracking cannabis pot roast weed recipes that I’m sure you’ll love making as much as we did! 


Don't forget to just simply enjoy the process and the meal!

Cheesy, Baby...

I'm feeling cheesy. My man calls me Dork for a reason, and the fact that I love all things cheesy is a big reason why. But this cheesy delight I stumbled upon just seems to hit all the spots for a munchie delight. Crunchy, chewy, cheesy, salty and all sorts of yummy. I think great side dish would be epic with a huge crunchy salad and plate of pasta. So here's the scoop on this madman:

Cheesy Garlic Bread


It’s hard to beat a good piece of cheesy garlic bread but we think this does with a little bit of help from marijuana. When cooking with cannabis, you run the risk of it ruining the flavour of what you’re cooking. Not with this cheesy garlic bread, you’ll only notice the marijuana an hour to an hour and a half later (metabolism depending).

Ingredients:


Serves: 8
4oz Cannabutter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/8 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon garlic granules
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 (400g) loaf French bread, halved lengthways


Directions: 

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 12 mins

Preheat oven to 150 C / Gas 2.
In a small bowl, mix butter, garlic salt, rosemary, basil, thyme, garlic granules and Parmesan cheese.
Spread each half of the French bread with equal portions of the butter mixture. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Place bread halves, crusts down, on a medium baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are very lightly browned.

Veggies Veggies Veggies

Okay all you vegans and vegetarians out there. If you are all about the green, then I assume you smoke right? Hell ya better your response. ;D Anyways...If you are looking to have a great herbal dinner, try out this great veggie recipe. Here's the scoop:

 
Grilled Canna Vegetables
These veggies make a cracking side dish or you can cook them a stoney snack, which ever you prefer. The key to cooking cannabis in this recipe is steam. It allows you to cook marijuana without burning it. Burning the weed is what we want to avoid. 

Ingredients :
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons snipped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed; or 2 tablespoons snipped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups mixed vegetables, such as eggplant chunks; halved small yellow squash, zucchini, or patty pan squash; green beans; red onion wedges; and/or sliced yellow, red, or green sweet pepper
1 1/2 cups of high quality cannabis 

Directions :
Preheat the oven to 200C
In a medium mixing bowl combine the cannabis flowers, olive oil, garlic, rosemary or basil, and the salt.
Add the vegetables to oil mixture, tossing to coat. Spoon vegetable mixture onto a 24x12-inch piece of heavy foil. Bring opposite edges of foil together; seal tightly with a double fold. Fold in remaining ends to completely enclose vegetables, leaving a little space for steam to build, cooking cannabis.
Place the foil parcel in the oven for about 20 minutes. This will allow you cook marijuana and soften the vegetables. Turn the packet half way through to allow the veg to cook through.
Season vegetables to taste with fresh ground pepper. Makes 4 side-dish servings.

Well, I have no eggs so I am munching on a bagel but then I found this epic recipe while browsing the web. Here's the scoop on this weed omelette:

Then add approx 50g of bud butter, we’re really cooking marijuana. Cream the Bud Butter in along with your grated cheese and add all to the milk.
Whisk again until you get a creamy paste.
(Note: Whilst your doing this, if you want anything else added to the Omelette like mushrooms, its best you begin to fry them now)
Add a drop of oil to your frying pan and turn heat on really low, allow the pan to heat up. Fry off the onion and pepper for 5mins.
Then simply add your paste and let it cook. You’re cooking marijuana guys! Flip the omelette or grill for a few minutes.

Bud Butter

Cannabis Butter Recipe


How to make weed butter is the first thing to learn if you’re keen to start cooking with pot. Depending what circles you float in cannabis butter can also be known as CannaButter, weed butter, pot butter, bud butter etc. Although there are a host of names, the recipe and the way we cook it is the same.

Below you’ll find the most comprehensive recipe for weed butter anywhere. Once you’ve cooked pot butter you’ll be cooking your favourite marijuana recipe in no time. So

Cooking/Storage Equipment Required:
- A grinder
- A stove to heat the marijuana butter.
- A medium sized heavy duty sauce pan/pot with lid.
- A measuring cup.
- A whisk or a large fork to mix the material with the water/butter solution in the pot.
- Cheese cloth to strain the material before cooling.
- A bowl large enough to hold and cool the Cannabis Butter material.
- A heavy duty plastic wrap to handle and compress the weed butter into a smaller, easier to handle shape.
- A freezable container to store the finished CannaButter.


Ingredients:
- 1lbs of unsalted butter.
- 2cups of water.
- 1 ounce of premium, middle or low grade Cannabis depending on strength preference

Preparation:
Firstly lets grind the Cannabis – Its needs to be nice and fine to make marijuana butter. I’d suggest using a coffee grinder for large amounts. Alternatively hand grinding the Cannabis will definitely help develop your technique!

Cooking:
Bring 2cups of water to a covered boil. Once the water is boiling, add your butter and melt it in the water. Reduce the heat and cover pan so the cannabis butter simmering.
Add the ground Cannabis material to the pan. Once you add the finely ground cannabis powder whisk and mix it into the pot thoroughly. Make sure the solution is nice and smooth, you don’t want any lumps in the pot butter crock pot.
Once added replace the lid and simmer on the lowest heat. It’s important when cooking pot butter that you don’t burn the bottom of the pan. This will really effect the taste of the CannaButter.

The CannaButter is now ready to simmer and cook for 22-24 hours. This amount of time is important. It is required to extract the THC from the Cannabis. Once finished take the cannabis butter off the heat.

You are now ready to extract the used Cannabis material from the CannaButter solution.
This is a really straightforward step, we’re just sieving all the little bits of cannabis from the solution, otherwise the cannabis butter will be full of bits.
Place the cheese cloth over an open bowl and ensure that when the liquid is poured through the cheese cloth will not go with it. Pour the cannabis butter solution into the large bowl.
In the cheese cloth you’ll have all the remaining bits of cannabis squeeze and extract as much of the solution from the cheese cloth and material as possible.

Cooling:
Place the bowl with the CannaButter solution into the fridge.
Leave it in the fridge until it has set, normally a few of hours. This will separate the fats from the water. The fat being our beautiful Cannabis Butter.

Removing Your Marijuana Butter and Storing:
Removing the CannaButter is tricky. You basically want to scrape out all of the pot butter that’s at the top of the bowl, leaving the water and other stuff at the bottom. Use a spoon or spatula.
Once you’ve collected all the cannabis butter discard the remaining liquid. Place the cannabis butter in air tight containers and place in the freezer (keeping the CannaButter fresh and the potency high).

Alternatively get cracking on those weed brownies, hash cakes and cannabis cookies you’ve been dying to cook! Oh and don’t forget to give the utensils a good licking, yummy!

The marijuana butter made in the recipe above can be used to make a whole host of things. Why not try some of our other recipes, maybe space cakes, weed brownies or even a hash cookie.
Or simply replace the butter in your favourite recipe with weed butter. Just make sure you tell your guests if you’re having a dinner party!!! Things could get a little out of hand!
 
Cannabis Oil

If weed butter isn’t your tipple why not give cannabis cooking oil a try. It does exactly the same thing as weed butter and many say is equally as potent. If anything cannabis oil is slightly easier to store than weed butter as you don’t need a fridge or a freezer. Once you make cannabis oil you can store it the same as any other oil, just pop it in the cupboard. Simple!

Storable cannabis cooking oil ingredients

1. 48 ounce bottle of Canola cooking oil
2. One large cooking pot
3. 1 ounce of nuggets or a quarter pound brick weed (or as much trim as you can fit in there.)
4. a metal wire strainer (to drain the oil)
5. a large funnel that fits in the cooking oil bottle

Instructions:

1. Empty the entire bottle of oil into the large pot.

2. HEAT on medium heat on stove until the oil it hot but NOT boiling...about 200 degrees, or just below boiling is great.

3. crumble up marijuana into shake, and pour seeds, stems, and all into pot.

4. keep stirring well about every 10 minutes or so for the next 2 hours. Do NOT allow the mixture to boil, but try to keep it hanging just below the boiling point. Make sure you don’t boil the cannabis oil, if it gets to hot the cannabis will burn and taste horrible.

5. After 2 hours, the oil may appear greenish, and possibly a little brown. This is normal as the resin has been properly extracted from the leaf products.

6. Let the oil cool for half an hour before this step. Carefully strain the cannabis oil through the strainer. Pour the cannabis oil into an equally large container - be sure to squeeze the weed well to get all the cannabis cooking oil out.

7. Funnel the oil back into the bottle and start cooking those lovely weed brownies!

Usage: Use sparingly, remember too much and you’ll be struggling to blink never mind walking or talking. A good rule of thumb is to do like for like with whatever you’re cooking. If it says 2 table spoons of oil, use two table spoons!
