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:
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.

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
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.

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!

Just a bit of info...
Okay, so I have been posting up recipes for you and then it came to me that some of you might not know the basics so here's the scoop on some basic information you will need to know if you want to get started baking and cooking along side me:
Cooking with Marijuana
Most weed-related recipes call for the making of a certain quantity of "Marijuana Butter" or "Bud Butter", which is then used as a replacement for standard butter in a cooking situation. To prepare pot for eating it has to be heated in some way. It won't work if the weed is eaten without preparation, because the digestive system is unable to digest THC directly. When cooking with weed, it is very important to use fat (oil, butter, milk) because THC (the stuff that gets you stoned) is fat soluble and not water soluble. It is therefore impossible to get high from pot tea, for example, without adding some milk. Learn how to make bud butter
How to make Bud Butter
Cooking with weed offers an alternative to inhaling marijuana smoke to get high. By using "Bud Butter" in your recipes you can consume the marijuana in a tasty way.
Here's one recipe for Bud Butter:
Ingredients
1 lb. of butter (not margarine!)
1/2 ounce of finely ground marijuana
Method
Melt the butter in a sauce pan until it's simmering.
Add the marijuana and let simmer for 30 minutes or so until the butter has turned green from the marijuana.
Pour butter through a strainer to remove all the pieces of marijuana.
Chill until solid.
Methods of THC extraction
- butter
- cooking oil (soak in for a week)
- milk
- cream
- flour - Another method that doesn't require cooking is cannaflour. Grind the cannabis up as fine as you can get it, and mix it with the following ratio: for every cup of flour, mix in a half cup of powdered cannabis. Your final product is cannaflour, and you can use it in just about every baking recipe.
- weed - If you're in a hurry you can also do the following: melt some (dairy) butter in a pan and throw in some weed; stir a bit, and then fry an egg (or a pancake or whatever) in it. Don't throw the weed away, it will still contain some THC. Eat the egg or whatever you made. Sweet stuff (honey, syrup, marmalade) tastes good with weed.
What are the effects?
It can take anywhere from 20 minutes to even up to 4-5 hours for the effects to set in. The biggest problem here is to find the right amount. When smoked, the effects set in almost immediately, so it is easy to judge how much you need. After eating some weed, some users are too impatient, and they think they need more. While it is not possible to overdose on weed, the effects of eating too much cannabis are not pleasant. You may feel sick, confused, unable to move or talk, and your coordination may be heavily affected. These effects may last a long time, much longer than when smoked. It is therefore important not to eat too much. Start with a low dose, and increase it the next time, if needed. Experiment to find the right amount. If you eat too much, a high dose of vitamin c (200mg or more) may help to make you feel better.
When eaten, pot takes longer to work, depending on: the amount and quality of the weed/hash, the rate of your digestion system, and the amount of food you've eaten beforehand. For best results, we recommend not eating anything at least 2-3 hours before eating your marijuana.
How much weed do I use?
Since weed is not an "officially regulated" product it's hard to recommend an amount to use as the strength of the weed will vary greatly. Many people prefer to use "cabbage," or the leafy, low quality type of weed, in their cooking. Buds are usually reserved for smoking, but of course you're free to cook buds, but any cooking disasters will be a lot more expensive!
Trial and error is your guide here. If you're making bud butter, you might go through a few saucepans full of cabbage before the butter is green and smelly enough to be useful for cooking. It's a good idea to note down how much you've used so you know for next time.

Add the marijuana and let simmer for 30 minutes or so until the butter has turned green from the marijuana.
Pour butter through a strainer to remove all the pieces of marijuana.
Chill until solid.
Methods of THC extraction
- butter
- cooking oil (soak in for a week)
- milk
- cream
- flour - Another method that doesn't require cooking is cannaflour. Grind the cannabis up as fine as you can get it, and mix it with the following ratio: for every cup of flour, mix in a half cup of powdered cannabis. Your final product is cannaflour, and you can use it in just about every baking recipe.
- weed - If you're in a hurry you can also do the following: melt some (dairy) butter in a pan and throw in some weed; stir a bit, and then fry an egg (or a pancake or whatever) in it. Don't throw the weed away, it will still contain some THC. Eat the egg or whatever you made. Sweet stuff (honey, syrup, marmalade) tastes good with weed.
What are the effects?
It can take anywhere from 20 minutes to even up to 4-5 hours for the effects to set in. The biggest problem here is to find the right amount. When smoked, the effects set in almost immediately, so it is easy to judge how much you need. After eating some weed, some users are too impatient, and they think they need more. While it is not possible to overdose on weed, the effects of eating too much cannabis are not pleasant. You may feel sick, confused, unable to move or talk, and your coordination may be heavily affected. These effects may last a long time, much longer than when smoked. It is therefore important not to eat too much. Start with a low dose, and increase it the next time, if needed. Experiment to find the right amount. If you eat too much, a high dose of vitamin c (200mg or more) may help to make you feel better.
When eaten, pot takes longer to work, depending on: the amount and quality of the weed/hash, the rate of your digestion system, and the amount of food you've eaten beforehand. For best results, we recommend not eating anything at least 2-3 hours before eating your marijuana.
How much weed do I use?
Since weed is not an "officially regulated" product it's hard to recommend an amount to use as the strength of the weed will vary greatly. Many people prefer to use "cabbage," or the leafy, low quality type of weed, in their cooking. Buds are usually reserved for smoking, but of course you're free to cook buds, but any cooking disasters will be a lot more expensive!
Trial and error is your guide here. If you're making bud butter, you might go through a few saucepans full of cabbage before the butter is green and smelly enough to be useful for cooking. It's a good idea to note down how much you've used so you know for next time.
Deep-Fried Delight
Okay Okay, I know it has been a bit since I posted anything new since life has been rather busy later, BUT, I was browsing a recipe website and found the recipe for a beautiful, calorie-packed sandwich that will satisfy anyone's munchies. This thing sounds sick, but I have thought of a way to make it even sicker. Once you have the sandwich assembled, whip together your batter mix, dip those suckers till they are good and covered in batter, and then deep fry them in your Canna-oil. Fatty, sweet and bound to send you to the moon. Here's the scoop:

Grassy Knoll Guacamole
Alrighty alrighty alrighty...Who doesn't love Mexican food right? Well, I've got a recipe for you that you are gonna love. Try a big whole heap of this grassy guacamole right on top of your favorite burrito or nachos. It's great to munch on with chips for a snack too. Mexican food is one of my favs so I'm really pumped to try this one out. So, I was thinking. Guacamole is usually just a side right? Well, damn...What meal could you put together that would be great with this little munchie to go on top? Enchiladas of course! With seasoned rice and limed whole beans all topped off with some special brownies for dessert. Don't worry, I will be posting all about each item's recipe, but for now, here's the scoop on the guac:
Ingredients:
1 fresh red chile
juices of 2 limes
1 tbsp extra virgin
olive oil
2 2/3 tsp finely
chopped or ground cannabis buds*
Directions:
1. Everything needs to
be mixed together apart from the avacados and onion and left to stand for about
an hour. The lime juice will react with the rest of the ingredients to draw out
the flavors and THC. (We learned from our study of Herbal Tea that oils and citruses draw out the THC much better to increase potency.)
2. The avacados and
onion can then be added and mashed up. A hand blender will give a really smooth
mix.
3. Usually serves with
tacos, heated pitas, or as a dip. Guacamole is best enjoyed fresh, but this can
be kept chilled, for up to three days, because the lime juice prevents the
avacados from turning brown.
SERVES 2 - 4

Sweet Dreams, Stoners
So, it's 2 am while I'm writing this post. Pretty buzzed from a couple hits on the pipe and a four loco (watermelon). Thought I might send you off for the night with a little recipe for hot tea that I found. Makes for a great way to end the night and start off a dream-filled herbal sleep. Sweet dreams and enjoy. Here's the scoop:
Ingredients:
Tea
Cup
1 Teaspoon of butter
Marijuana!
Directions:
Like other herbs,
marijuana may be made into a tea. Boil the water first and pour it over the
marijuana. Let it steep for longer than you would for common black tea;
approximately an hour and a half.
Add 1 tsp. of marijuana
or regular butter. The effects are similar to eating it. It is easy to make
marijuana tea and can be combined with mint or any other herbal tea flavors to
enhance it's taste.
THC is only very
slightly soluble in boiling water. Adding either some alcohol, oil, or butter
to the mix will help the THC dissolve. An ounce of whole milk or a half ounce
of hard liquor to a cup of boiling water increases the tea's potency quite a
bit. A chai-type drink, made with marijuana leaves, spices, butter and milk
would dissolve even more of the THC.
Making tea by just
boiling the leaves will not release as much psychoactive THC. Since marijuana's
pigments and terpenoids the components responsible for its flavor are water
soluble, this tea looks and smells more promising than its effect will be.
However, these non-cannabinoids may also have medicinal properties, as could
other water-solubles.
Some News On Cannabis
I promised you that I would keep you updated on cannabis news and thanks to my following CannabisNews on Twitter, I got this link:
http://www.cannabisnews.org/high-potency-marijuana-concerns-authorities/2012/05/23
Should this concern us? What are your thoughts on kids smoking pot? In my opinion, I know there should be an age limit maybe. It just depends on what you can handle and your maturity level. To blame pot, itself though, is not wise. It's the whole blame-the-spoon-for-Rosie-being-fat thing, or blaming video games for violence.
Sure, anything can be abused even our special herb. My solution is that parents need to get involved in their kids lives without being pushy. Maybe even cook some weed products together? Educate them. Don't punish them. That goes for anyone of all ages. I always say that you need to smoke or cook or bake with people you trust. Leads to a better time too!

Drink Up!
Damn! Alrighty guys, check out this wickedness that I found. I need me some of these. Can you image freezing this shizz into pops for Summer? Or maybe some mind-blowing margaritas!!! Mmmmmmhmmm baby.
Space Cake
Alrighty alrighty. This one doesn't have the most clever name, but heck, I bet it lives up to it. This recipe is the basic one, but you can use any mix or cake recipe that you like but add the "secret ingredient" to spice it up. This would be a great fund raiser recipe or birthday cake for a special friend :D This sucker is rated almost 4 leaves though, so it's gotta be great. Here's the scoop:
Ingredients:
200 gr. of baking flour
200 CL. of milk
2 eggs
180 grams of sugar
180 grams of butter
a hot oven (200 degrees
c)
a baking form
Directions:
Put the butter in the
microwave for about 20 seconds until it's a fat paste. Mix the hasjs with 4/5th
of the butter. (heat up the hasjs with a lighter and crumble it in the butter).
With the rest of the butter your fatten the baking form so you can get the cake
out easy when it's done.
Now mix the butter (and
hasjs), flour, eggs and milk and sugar (and the possible extra ingredient).
Keep on mixing it for a few minutes until it's nice and smooth. If it's to dry:
at a little milk. Is it to much of a liquid: ad a little flour.
Put the cake in the
oven for about 25 minutes.
Check how it looks
before opening the oven. If it's big and brown (I think you can imagine how a
cake looks like) open the oven and take the cake out.
Leave it outside the
oven for about 30 minutes to cool down before getting it out of it's form.
