Eating FAQ
How To Eat Marijuana And Hash
How do I prepare marijuana or hash to be eaten so the maximum amount of THC is absorbed by my gastrointestinal system? Well, this is the very Beta version of the FAQ for eating marijuana (version 0.005b). Any additions are welcome, send them to mtymp15@staff.tc.umn.edu. My initial request for information yielded a few decent replies, and I thank you guys for putting up with my badgering for more details.
Most recipes call for the manufacture of a certain
quantity of Bud Butter, which is then used as butter would normally be used
in a cooking situation. THC is not a water
soluble compound, so butter would naturally be a good carrier substance for
ingestion. One version of a recipe for this
kind of butter is included, the recipes are not. OK...
enough of my blabber... here is the (small) collection. My comments are in [brackets].
Making Bud Butter
Melt a pound of butter in a pan. Mix 60-70 or more grams (3 or
more ounces) of thoroughly sifted pot in to the butter. Let it boil
carefully a couple of minutes until the butter has gotten a green
color from the grass.
Then squeeze the butter through a fine strainer. While you use the
strainer, keep the leaves away in a corner of the pan by using a
spoon. Squeeze hard to get out as much of the butter as possible.
[The cooking time has varied from a couple of minutes, as above,
to 10-15 minutes. 10 minutes works fine for my friends.]
If you don't want any remaining leaves in the butter, you can
strain it through some muslin. A problem concerning this is that
you will loose some butter in the muslin.
Don't throw the leaves, they still may contain viable THC. The
leaves can be cooked in milk or vodka and become a tasty and
effective drink.
Hot milk or vodka might also be poured through the muslin,
thereby saving some of the hashish butter. You can fry more
leaves in the same butter in you want to increase its strength.
[General word on the street is that the bud left over after the
extraction is worthless and should be thrown away... I left the
comment in the recipe because boiling the used pot in milk really*
does taste good.]
A simpler and stronger version of the cannabis butter (or ghee)...
by mixing melted butter with hashish or hashish oil instead of pot.
It is not necessary to fry this as long as in the case with the pot.
Just warm it up and mix it until the hashish or hashish oil is
dissolved in the butter. You can put as much hashish (or hashish
oil) into it as you want. Another plus is that there are no remaining
leaves with THC to worry about.
Blue Collar Butter
You will need approximately one ounce of material (flowers not
leaves), a crock pot, a one stick of butter and a piece of
cheesecloth.
Let the material completely air dry until easily crumbled. Turn on
crock pot (low setting if adjustable) and melt the stick of butter
inside. Crush the material into the melted butter and stir to
saturate thoroughly.
Cover crock pot with lid, and leave on low for 24 hours, stirring
the material/butter mixture a few times. After 24 hours, strain the
butter through cheesecloth, collecting in a jar, squeezing the last
of the butter from the material by hand.
The collected butter can now be used in any recipe which calls
for a stick of butter... or even spread by itself on bread or toast.
Making Tea
From The Art and Science of Cooking With Cannabis.
Hot Buttered Bhang
In a saucepan, melt half a cube (1/8 pound) of butter or ghee.
Crumble a good handful of marijuana tops or leaves (1/3 - 1/2
ounce). Stir the grass into the molten butter. Continue stirring
over medium heat for one minute.
While it is hot or sizzling, add 8 ounces of vodka. Be cautious
that the hot butter does not make the mixture spatter. It is best to
pour in the vodka swiftly. Continue to boil for 30 seconds or
more, stirring all the while. A pinch or two of powdered
cardamom seed may be added during the boiling. . . .
After boiling as much as desired, strain the liquids. Press the mash
in a strainer with the back of a spoon to remove all the juices.
Discard mash or boil it again in fresh vodka to salvage more
materials. Sweeten to taste with honey if wanted. Pour the liquid
into 4-ounce wine glasses. Two people will get wiped on this.
This recipe is not only an efficient method of extracting the active
principles from marijuana, and an excellent medium for
assimilation (alcohol, butter and honey), but it also has a delicious
and satisfying flavor.
It is reminiscent of hot chocolate, but is much more pleasant to
drink. It is one of the most swiftly absorbed cannabis
concoctions. The effects of the grass may be felt in less than
fifteen minutes. Cheers!
Chocolate Buds
Start with Hershey's Premium Baking Bar Unsweetened
Chocolate. On the back is a recipe for brownies which includes 1
cup butter, 4 squares of chocolate, 2 cups sugar, 4 eggs, 1 cup of
flour, and vanilla extract.
Start with dry hemp leaves and grind them in a coffee grinder to a
fine powder. Put in a measuring cup until ~75 ml of green flour is
made. Fill to the 1 cup mark (250 ml) with regular flour. Proceed
with recipe on box: Heat oven to 350 F, Grease 13x9x2 (inch)
pan.
Heat butter and chocolate and stir with wooden spoon until
smooth. Stir in sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Add vanilla extract
and stir in flour mixture. Add nuts if desired (a very nice touch I
think) and bake for 40 minutes.
It seemed to take 10 minutes longer than the box suggested (30
minutes) to be completely baked through. Makes 3 dozen
brownies. Take 2 and wait an hour. Take 4 and cruise for 12
hours. Enjoy!
Stir Fry Bud
1 Red Pepper
1 Green Pepper
1 Yellow Pepper
1/2 small onion
butter
herbal seasoning of your choice
Slice the peppers lengthwise into strips about 1/2-3/4 inch wide.
Chop the onion.
Throw everything together in a skillet with the butter and saute.
Serve over rice.
Wait an hour.
ENJOY!
tip: It's best to use real butter because herbal seasonings are fat
soluble. You want the butter to carry the goodies. Use of a
vegetable-oil-based margarine won't work as well. If you're
cooking this with friends, take turns standing over the skillet
stirring the veggies and seasonings. You don't want one person to
have all the fun, as the vapors can be quite intense.
Gaspo's Zauber Cuchlis (magic brownies).
Ok, I normally use hash (thats the most available), but you could
just substitute grass by grinding it up really fine (use a pepper
grinder, and you can get rid of those stems too, but they have a
harder taste).
Rules: warn your guests too wait one hour after the first brownie
until they have a second one. The buzz from eating is different
than smoking it, and even the heaviest smokers may have a hard
time recognizing the effects at first.
I would appreciate hearing what other mutations this recipe takes.
Since this was originally distributed on Usenet, just email me what
you mucked with.
Ingredients:
200g butter (margarine wont work)
200g unsweetened shokolade
250g sugar
4 eggs
200g flour
splash vanilla extract
100g dark shokolade (regular candy type)
Directions:
1) over low heat, melt butter in saucepan.
2) once butter is just slightly bubbling, mix in ground up hash and
stir for 5-10 minutes, taking the pan off the heat every now and
then to keep the butter from steaming too much (the magic
actually steams out too i think.
3) melt unsweetened shokolade (reform type) into butter, stirring
constantly.
4) when all shokolade is melted totally, splash a few drops of
vanilla in. If you can hear the vanilla sink to the bottom and sizzle,
the mix is hot enough. so, remove from heat. if it doesn't sizzle,
then your low setting is low enough. I usually just turn off the heat,
but leave the pan on the burner (ceramic stove).
5) stir in the sugar little by little (so it doesn't clump)
6) once all the sugar is mixed in, beat the eggs and mix them in.
7) add the flour (stir in first so it doesn't blow all around), and use
an electric mixer on LOW (its a waste to splash magic all over
the kitchen.) untill the whole bit is smooth and no lumps or
pockets of flour.
8) break dark shokolade into nickel size chunks, and stir in.
9) pour mix into shallow pan (2-3cm), and pop in medium heat
oven for about 30-40min. NOTE: I never time the puppies, I just
look at 'em and know. A toothpick will come out with just a little
brown color when they are done.
NOTES:
The longer you cook the hash and butter together, the sooner the
effects seem to come on. Don't let the butter bubble too much, or
you can taste the hash in the end-product.
Vary the sugar according to the bitterness off the hash. I can't
really explain that, but if you eat raw hash too, you'll know what I
mean.
Vary the flour to get chewy/fluffy brownies. about 1dl of
buttermilk is pretty good too added just before the sugar, add
extra five minutes before adding the eggs.
When you put the dark shokolade in, this is the time to add other
things like chopped walnuts, M&M's, pecans, and so on. I like
this white shokolade with prailenes added (also looks cool with
white swirls in the end product). I'm going to try caramel one of
these days too.
Hash oil will work too, although it if you can smell any alcohol in
the oil, you should heat the alcohol out before mixing into the
butter.
Thanks to Captain Cohen for being my test subject for all the
variations and mutations. Like you really hated it......
Banana Cake
Hi ! I finally got my shit together and found the recipe for you ...
It's basically a normal banana cake, except we prepared the
dope in the following way. We took the butter and slowly melted
it in a BIG wok. Then, when it had all melted we threw in the
dope ,and stirred it all around, making sure the dope was
covered in butter.
Then we just followed the recipe as normal, throwing in the
dope/butter mix when it asked for it. Oh, let the dope/butter
simmer slowly for a while, to get all the THC. We left the dope in
the butter when we made ours, and it gave us a HUGE spin out
...
Banana Loaf
125 g butter
1 cup sugar - we actually put in 2 cups, and it tasted just perfect
2 eggs
2 bananas (ripe ones)
1/3 cup of milk - well enough to give it the right texture, wet, but
not runny
1 teaspoon vinegar
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
Oven Temperature : 180 C (350 F)
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs. Beat it all well. Mash up the
bananas. Stir them into the bowl. Mix milk and vinegar in a cup.
Sift the flour and baking soda in a separate bowl. Add flour and
milk to the butter bowl. Mix it all well.
Spread evenly in a greased 22 cm x 12 cm loaf tin. Bake it for 1
hour. (we actually cooked ours longer - basically cook it until you
can stick a clean dry skewer in the middle, and come out with a
clean dry skewer)
Leave til next day to slice and butter.
We cooked ours at about 5.30 pm, and went to a party as soon
as it was ready. They were devoured in about 5 seconds ...
Re : how much dope to use ...
We made the equivalent of 3 of these, and used an ounce of leaf,
and everyone was blown out. Obviously, the more you use, the
more blown out you'll get.
Well ... enjoy !!
Hash Ice Cream
Crumple up about 1.5 - 2 grams of hash.
Add the hash to a bowl of vanilla ice cream.
Use a spoon to stir the ice cream hash mix.
You will have a soft ice cream Heavenly Hash mix.
Eat it.
Wait for about an hour.
The stone is a deep body stone.
