I posted the following in the Lounge, and someone recommended I cross-post it here.
------------------
I just got my medical marijuana card and prefer to ingest it instead of smoking it.

Can anyone recommend a good book or provide some of your favorite recipes? I can't eat brownies all the time.

Also for cannabutter and oil, what ratios should marijuana or hash per cup of butter or oil.

3. I once did loaded spaghetti sauce for a dinner party

and an excellent time was had by all. The sauce had quite a bit of olive oil in it. I wouldn't do it with a fat free sauce.

I'd suggest you put it in high fat baked goods. You can freeze those and eat as needed. Pot brownies are especially good this way since you won't be eating a large quantity at a sitting unless you want to sleep your life away. Depending on how much you load them, half a brownie a day can do you.

Another thing you might not have considered is getting a vaporizing unit. Instead of inhaling smoke, you're inhaling vaporized cannabinols and steam. It's better than sucking smoke into your lungs.

Ingested pot has a longer period to onset and a much prolonged period of activity in your system. Be careful with it while you figure out what a good dose for you is.

13. I did a great lasagne one time when my folks seemed

Stressed.

My folks loved it and everyone had a relaxed evening. I was happy as well. The substance had an effect, a rather pleasant effect, but not too much. (My folks were quite "straight," the way most older people were in the mid seventies.)

Although my mom kept insisting I give her the recipe. I finally gave her the standard lasagne recipe minus the key ingredient, but she let me know she couldn't make it taste the way mine had.

Since I make lasagne with quite a lot of both ricotta and mozzarella, it definitely had some fat to it.

Drugging your parents without their knowledge. Pretty sure that's illegal.

4. I'm sure you could throw some in oatmeal cookies.

You can add just about anything to oatmeal cookies. I added bacon once. Reminded people of scones. I added prunes instead of raisins another time. My favorite additive so far is dried cherries and pecans, with cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.

5. I've never tried it, but I'm gonna suggest sprinkle it on pasta with Parmesan and butter and

some garlic powder. Use it like it's oregano

6. OK, here's how we did it in Detroit.

One tsp powdered pot. put in a dry skillet and heat it until you see a whiff of smoke. Pour it out and used a pastry brush to get all of it.

I poured it over a heaping TBS peanut butter and honey mixed and ate it like that. Start off with less than a tsp at first to get the right dosage. You should feel it in about an hour.

Detroit. The land of pot and honey.

7. oil and butter

For oil I use a bit more than 1/4 ounce to a bottle of oil that's 35 ? or so ounces. I start with and unopened bottle and then pour all of it in a crock pot. Put it on medium or high for about 20-30 minutes to get the oil warm and then turn it down to low and cook it for about 3-4 hours. After it cools I just put it back in the oil bottle including the cannabis chunks using a funnel. You can strain the oil through a cheesecloth if you don't like the cannabis floating in the oil. It will be good for at least 1-1/2 months and maybe longer.

I haven't done butter, but it seems 2-4 tablespoons or so of cannabis would be plenty for a cup of butter. If small particles or finely ground like the stuff at the bottom of the bag then 2 tablespoons or so would be good. If you use larger pieces like loose leaves or if using buds break up the buds first and use 3-4 tablespoons in the butter.

12. I've been wondering if I shouldn't try and go thus route

instead of being zoned out with painkillers. Let me know if you find some good recipes? ♥

14. I made cannacanola oil. 1 oz shake, 2 c water, 2 c oil, in crockpot on warm for

several hours. I then poured the glop through a strainer and put it in a big plastic container in the freezer. When the water was frozen but the oil was still liquid I poured the oil off. It stays in the freezer until I need it, then it thaws in the fridge.

Works fine, but next time I will only use 1 1/2 c oil - I want it with a little more heft.

Wow, they use pot for everything    If only they would put that iniative to getting a good paying job....

You know what's so horrible about that thread? a couple of people in that thread actually served food with marijuana in it to people, even senior citizens, without even telling them what was in it. How would they know those people wouldn't of had some type of reaction to it? I smoked pot 3 times when I was a teen, the 3rd time I smoked it I got light headed and my heart was pounding, I never smoked it after that. I don't find that funny at all what they did.

Gee I hope none of their hapless friends/family have to take a pee test at work.  These a$$holes are dangerous.

Then they could gloat how their repuke relative got busted (lost job) for doing drugs.

Watch for an October speech from O where he does an immigration on pot.

I hope "grandma" got a big laugh out of it.  These idiots shouldn't be allowed outside an institution.
