There are many ways to enjoy marijuana if you are not into smoking it. Many weed users prefer the high they get from cooking their pot. There are a variety of trusted cooking methods that will help you get the most out of your marijuana.
The most common method of cooking weed involves making kana butter. This is made by combing weed and butter and heating for an extended period of time. To properly cook weed you need heat and fat. The heat releases the thc and the butter keeps it in place. For this recipe you will want to use 1 stick of butter for every half ounce of weed. The herb should be finely broken up and all stems should be removed. Melt the butter in a pan or crock pot and mix with the herb on low heat. This should simmer for several hours and if using a crock pot many people leave it over night. After the kana butter is sufficiently heated you should cool and remove from the pot. Many people like to strain out the weed with a strainer or cheese cloth at this point. The THC has been transferred to the butter but some people enjoy the texture and taste of leaving the weed in the butter. This butter can be stored in the fridge and used in any recipe that requires butter. When you cook with your weed butter you should avoid heat higher than 350 degrees to ensure the THC level. Brownies is the classic dish to make but you can make whatever you feel like eating with this potent butter.
Another great way to enjoy weed is in an alcoholic drink known as Green Dragon. This ganja recipe uses alcohol to break down the weed. There are two methods for this recipe and both provide great results. You will need at least a half ounce of finely broken up weed and a pint of high proof alcohol. The easy method for this recipe is simple but takes some time. You combine the weed and alcohol in a glass container with a tight lid. The mixture should be left in a cool dark space and needs to sit for at least 3 weeks to be effective. When it is done you just strain out the weed and enjoy the powerful drink straight or in your favorite cocktail. If you are too impatient for a three week recipe you can speed things up with heat. This is more risky since you are heating high proof alcohol, but if your safe you can be finished in under an hour. All you have to do is prepare the weed alcohol mixture in a glass jar like before, and place it in a pan halfway filled with water. Heat the water on medium heat on the stovetop, and the THC from the weed will be transferred to the alcohol. This should take about 20 to 30 minutes depending on the alcohol you used. Either way you prepare it, this recipe provides an effective and covert way to use marijuana.
There are a lot of way to use marijuana and cooking is by far the most fun. The intense body high you get from eating or drinking weed is not possible with any other method. You can use any of these trusted weed recipes to make potent and delicious weed concoctions that will keep you high for hours.
