The basics of cooking with pot.

Cooking with pot is one alternative to smoking it. I think it's a rather creative thing, and this blog was created to share some recipes I've come up with/found.

Now a word of caution. As far as I am aware in most of the world; marijuana is illegal. I know in this country it is. I personally believe it shouldn't be, but just have the same laws that alchohol does. Of course just like alcohol there are people who abuse the substance, but I'm a firm believer on education about the risks and etc.

I may smoke and eat it occasionally, but I never do it in front of minors, never in the public and I don't sell it either. It doesn't affect my work or my relationships and it's extremely important to me that it doesn't.

If you are under 18 this site this blog is not intended for you. If you are an adult then you have the right to choose whether you want to explore cooking with weed at your own risk.

Now for the basics.

You can't just shove weed into cake mix and expect to get high. You need to release the THC. The best way to do this in my opinion is to make weed butter. Here is a simple recipe.

Weed Butter

A stick of butter (about 250g)

15 - 30g weed

Melt the butter in a pan. Remove from heat and stir in the weed. Cover and rest for a few minutes. Put the butter back onto the heat until the butter is boiling a little. Remove from heat the let it rest for a few minutes. Do this about 10 times so all the THC is released.

Pour the butter mixture through a siv and throw away the chunky bits of weed.

Now you can use the butter to create anything!
