Making Cannabis Candy

Making Cannabis Candy Marijuana Edibles

There are a lot of people that think making cannabis candy is a difficult process, when quite simple. As it usually is when making edibles, getting it right is tough. The candy not only has to be potent enough to be considered medicine but taste good as well! The candy is worthless if it doesn’t have both of those qualities. But making the perfect batch of cannabis candy treats is in the following recipe!

Ingredients:

Candy molds
Cooking spray
Metal spoon
2/3 cups white corn syrup
1 tsp flavoring of your choice (adjust if you want but this is really the perfect amount!)
Food coloring (so they look nice, obviously!)
Candy thermometer
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
9.5 grams of dry powdered hash or Tincture

Directions:

First things first, spray the candy molds with cooking spray so that the mix doesn’t stick when you get to the step that requires it. Put the sugar and corn syrup together in a pot and put it on high heat until the mix begins to boil. Reduce the heat to low medium and keep an eye on the temperature. Once the temp hits 300, remove the heat and add in the hash and food coloring. Stir this mix vigorously. You need to make sure that the hash has been completely mixed in. About a minute should do it because the mix will start to harden soon after that. Add your candy mix in to the molds. You can either make them just candies or you can add in sticks to make them lollipops!

Let the mix harden in the mold and then remove and wrap them. This recipe will give you about 40 candies. You can always add in more hash but be sure that that’s the form of cannabis that you use. Kief could also be used in this recipe if you have enough of it. These candies last a good amount of time, about 2 to 3 hours on an empty stomach and an hour after a meal. No one should be afraid to make cannabis candy , especially when it’s such a benefit to those who are always on the go and enjoy eating their weed rather than smoking it.

Making Cannabis Tincture

Making Cannabis Tincture Chasing the Green Dragon

Great news! You can make full-spectrum cannabis tinctures in your own kitchen with almost no work. Formerly, this job was a messy, smelly, tedious, time-consuming, and dangerous chemistry experiment involving flammable liquids and a stovetop burner (not a great combination). In 2012 it became vastly simpler with the invention of an appliance called the Easy Butter 2 Stick Magic Butter Maker

 

The general idea behind preparing a cannabis tincture involves grinding and soaking high-quality buds in high-proof ethyl alcohol such as Everclear or Bacardi 151. The alcohol dissolves the THC and CBD (cannabidiol), leaving the plant matter behind. You then simply strain your alcohol/bud mixture to remove any debris from your final tincture.

For this alcohol extraction process, what could be easier than a self-contained, push-button device with digital programming that handles everything for you? Just put your herb and alcohol inside the countertop extractor, push a couple of buttons, and save yourself the intense labor that goes into making a tincture caveman-style. (Here’s a video of how easy it is.) It even comes with its own super tough, reusable nylon filter bag. So you can leave the cheesecloth, coffee filters, and pantyhose in the drawer.

Consuming fresh, raw cannabis or its cannabis tincture can’t get you high because the THC is locked in its “acid” form (cleverly named “THC acid”, or THCA). Fortunately, somewhere along the line, a cannabis enthusiast who happened to be a scientist discovered an incredibly simple step called decarboxylation. This process uses heat to create THC from the THCA within the herb. You can decarb your sample before adding it to your MagicalButter machine by baking it for half an hour at 250°F/120°C, generating some kushin’ for the pushin’!

Where does the green in green dragon come from? When soaking your herbal delights, you get a little more than you bargain for: Much of the plant’s chlorophyll seeps through, along with the desired cannabinoids and terpenoids. Chlorophyll has many healthful properties, from potent antioxidant and body deodorant effects to cellular cleansing and appetite suppression. And it gives your tincture its distinctive, deep, dark green color. Often, though not always, the darker the green, the danker the dragon.

This is the best part. You can do nearly anything with the cannabis tincture at this point, from mixing it into a milkshake to adding to any recipe you can think of and many more recipes that you never would have dreamed of. For maximum potency it can even be reduced by evaporating most of the alcohol, creating MagicalButterOil of Cannabis.

The sublingual method of tincture administration, say, a medicine dropper full held under the tongue, will provide the quickest onset of effects (about 15-30 minutes). You can also throw it straight down the hatch and in 30-90 minutes reap your reward. But where’s the fun in that?

From gummy creations of every shape and size, along with your choice of flavors, you can make your confectionery dreams come true. And it doesn’t stop there: You can create make soups, salad dressings, sauces, an oral mist, cocktails, even edible healing salve. The possibilities are without limits. So be creative, be experimental, and be responsible, because your “concoction” can be pretty potent!

Mellow Marijuana Edibles Help Newbies From Overdoing

Mellow Marijuana Edibles High Enough But Not Too High

At Spot, Moxey is crafting marijuana edibles that will get people high enough but not too high and testing them to ensure the dosage is correct. Just 17 percent of edibles are accurately labeled with the proper THC level, according to a June 2015 research letter published by the Journal of the American Medical Association. As a result, many cannabis consumers have no idea how much they’re ingesting and are subject to a multitude of unpleasant effects.

Spot’s cookies and brownie bites are dosed with exactly five milligrams of THC, an amount that leads to a considerably more mellow high than what Dowd experienced. “It’s not going to make you lose control,” Moxey said of the amount. “It’s my belief that five milligrams is the right level to be at.”

It’s not all about being at the “right level.” Spot launched the line of micro-dosed edibles in part to adhere to state laws. Washington is effectively a microdose state, because the legal limit is 10 milligrams of THC per serving, with a limit of 100 milligrams in an entire package. Each serving must be individually wrapped, which prevents producers of marijuana edibles from selling a mega-brownie and saying it has 10 servings within.

Not all states that have legalized some form of marijuana use are so strict. In Colorado, the limit is 100 milligrams per unit. In California, which has no limit at all, a vaguely terrifying 700-milligram brownie is available for purchase. Such a brownie contains more than 35 times the amount of THC necessary to feel high, but it’s unlikely that the brownie’s purveyor will eat only one 35th of it.

Even though the move to micro-dosing came out of legal necessity, Spot found these products were perfect for first-time cannabis customers a gateway to a gateway, if you will. “No one is going to get weirded out at five milligrams,” Moxey explained. “That’s why these products are selling so quickly.”

A five-milligram peppermint produced by Moxey was the top selling marijuana edibles in Washington State last quarter, according to data reviewed by the cannabis analytics firm Headset. “For routine customers, eating a five-milligram mint isn’t always to get high, but more about overall wellness and mood enhancement,” explained Jess Henson, Headset’s lead market analyst. “More low-dosage edibles will emerge as cannabis attracts a larger mainstream audience.”

Spot is planning to expand to Oregon and, pending recreational legalization, to California, where the company could theoretically sell higher-dosed marijuana edibles. But given the success of micro-dosed products in Washington, the company plans to continue hawking these little bites in every new market it enters.

“There are vastly more people that don’t consume cannabis and now do,” said Moxey. “You have to make it an enjoyable enough experience that someone will say, ‘Oh, I’ll have another.”

Cannabis Inhaler The World’s First

We Joke About It In The 80s The World’s First Cannabis Inhaler 

We Joke About It In The 80s and now behold the Cannabis Inhaler Cannabis consumption methods are evolving. Not only are the numbers of cannabis supporters going up, but creative innovators around the globe are developing new ideas left and right. From vaporizers to wax, there are now many ways to get high. If you thought you’ve seen it all, though, think again. Now the world has the first-ever cannabis inhaler that goes by the name of Vapen Clear, and there’s nothing else like it. The Vapen Clear looks exactly like your typical inhaler. It acts the same too, but without the albuterol. The Vapen Clear releases the good stuff, aka THC. It packs a powerful 10mg expenditure per puff, which equals to 100 total puffs per cartridge. Unlike your standard vaporizer pen, the Vapen Clear doesn’t heat the THC. Rather, it uses a propellant to blast the medicine directly inside your lungs. Not only is the Vapen Clear the first of its kind, but it also comes in three different designs based on your favorite strain. For example, the “Daytime” inhaler comes with THC from a Sativa strain, because a Sativa produces energy. In like manner, there is the “Nighttime” inhaler that comes with an indica strain to provide a more mellow and chill effect. Then there’s the “Afternoon” inhaler, which provides a steady buzz from a hybrid of the two. The Vapen Clear inhaler comes with its own unique benefits. One of them is its discreetness. When people see an inhaler, they think asthma, not cannabis. Therefore, the chances of someone accusing you of medicating are slim. While many cannabis consumption methods leave a strong odor behind, the Vapen Clear has virtually no smell. Again, the product doesn’t heat the oil, unlike other vaporizers. Speaking of handy, the size of the Vapen Clear inhaler is another plus. In fact, it’s so small that you can carry it with you wherever you go. Whether you slide it into your pocket or drop it into your purse, it’s easy to take. Not to mention, you don’t have to worry about lugging batteries and lighters along with it. So if you are a cannabis connoisseur who stays on-the-go, this product is perfect for you. At present, the Vapen Clear inhaler is only available in Arizona at select centers. If you happen to be an Arizona resident or plan on making the trip, you can find a store using their website’s map. However, if you want one but cannot get it just yet, not to worry. Soon, However, if you want one but cannot get it just yet, not to worry. Soon, Vapen products will be available in California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.

Marijuana-Infused Gum

Marijuana-Infused Gum Company Started By An Ex-Facebook Employee 

"What I love about this industry is that it is brand-new and growing. It's so exciting and changing every day," Heimark says. "I was part of tech, and I've seen what that felt like. I can tell you this feels the same, if not even faster growing."

Two years ago, Heimark, a Bay Area native, was working as a project manager at payments startup Gumroad, which has nothing to do with actual gum. But he wanted to run a company. A friend sent him a link to a "60 Minutes" episode about how the marijuana industry was growing up and attracting big dollars in Colorado, where recreational marijuana has been legal since 2012. Heimark considered his experience maximizing profits and minimizing payment fraud at Facebook (and his role at Gumroad) and packed his bags for Denver. He rented an Airbnb and joined a marijuana startup accelerator called Green Labs for $450 a month. One day, some projections about the edibles market crossed his desk. He crunched more numbers. He sent the data to his dad, the former chief information officer at Swiss bank UBS. Edibles and other infused products are taking a bigger bite out of the $5.4 billion legal marijuana industry with every passing year. It's often the consumption method of choice for people using marijuana for medicinal purposes and those who just don't want to smoke. Weed-laced treats offer a discreet way to get high in public, and a single dose can power users through the worst bouts of illness-induced nausea or a marathon Netflix binge. But they offer a completely different experience than a joint or a bong hit. When eaten, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient in weed, undergoes a transformation in the liver that turns it into a different substance that's twice as strong and lasts twice as long as when it's inhaled. A user high might not peak until one to three hours after eating. Because it takes so long to process, people often overdo it. While there are no recorded cases of people fatally overdosing on marijuana, it can make patients incredibly uncomfortable. But gum isn't digested. You chew it.  Heimark hypothesized that a marijuana-infused gum would be absorbed through the cheeks and gums faster than the digestive tract. It's the same reason why doctors administer medicine under the tongue. If medical marijuana patients got high more quickly, they might find relief from their ailments and say no to second helpings too soon after their first dose. Heimark and his cofounders, Roy McFarland and Justin "Crunchy" Crunchington, poured over recipe books from the Denver library and spent every night trying new recipes in the kitchen. Turns out, making gum is hard to do. Harder still, the guys had to find a way to make the chemical compounds in marijuana stick to the gum and not rub off on user's teeth. Ideally, the finished product wouldn't taste like an ashtray. It was a tall order. Today, Plus Gum delivers psychoactive effects within 15 minutes of chewing, Heimark says. He credits a "secret sauce" contained in their pending patent for improving taste.  Each Chicklet-like piece of gum provides 25 milligrams of THC, though Heimark claims its potency doesn't feel like a dose that large because the drug never gets digested. He compares the high to drinking two beers. Plus Gum is available in 65 dispensaries across California. Recently, Plus launched its second product, a tin of marijuana-infused gummies. They co-opt some science developed for the gum to make the gummies fast-acting, though not as swift. As the company gears up for the possible legalization of recreational marijuana in California this November (and an expansion to Colorado in 2017), Heimark expects an infusion of new customers. He says these times remind him of working at Facebook.

Things to know before you eat marijuana edibles

Things to know before you eat marijuana edibles 

User-friendly is not a word that's often used when describing marijuana edibles.

Whether you're biting into a cannabis brownie cooked up in a college dorm or nibbling on a fruit chew purchased from your local dispensary, you never really know how much marijuana you're ingesting. It can take hours to get high, and the effects can be intense and long-lasting.

That said, marijuana edibles offer a discreet way to get high in public or among the disapproving company, and a single dose can power users through the worst bouts of illness-induced nausea or a marathon. It's often the consumption method of choice for people using marijuana for medicinal purposes (and those who just don't want to smoke). Remember, it doesn't matter who you are or what size you are. Edibles will affect everyone differently. Enjoy with caution.

Here are four things to know before you try your first marijuana edible.

1. Do your homework no what best suits your needs you looking for Thc or cbD
take responsibility for your edibles keep out of reach for the unsuspected

2. Marijuana-infused foods are more potent than regular pot.
The body works in mysterious ways, as like marijuana.

Edibles offer a completely different experience than, say, a joint or a bong hit. When eaten, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient in weed, undergoes a transformation in the liver that turns it into a different substance that's twice as strong and lasts twice as long as when inhaled.

It takes our bodies much longer to process cannabis when we ingest rather than inhale.

"With smoking, the peak blood levels happen within 3-10 minutes, and with eating, it's 1-3 hours," Kari Franson, a clinical pharmacologist and an associate dean of the Department of Clinical Pharmacy at the University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy, told Forbes.

Because it takes so long to process, people often overdo it. If you don't feel high after ingesting an edible, wait at least two hours before consuming another dose.

3. You should always read the label.
Not everyone has the great fortune of being able to pick out an individually packaged edible from a bona fide retailer, especially in states where the prohibition on pot persists (though that's starting to change). But if you do, paying attention to the label on the packaging can be the difference between a Grade A night in and a paranoia-wracked nightmare of an evening.

Any reputable edible maker will lab test their products for potency and will include on the label two important ingredients: THC, the psychoactive chemical compound in marijuana, and CBD, or cannabidiol, the chemical compound that has pain relief benefits. The total THC or "maximum THC" is the most clear-cut indicator of how high the product will make you.

Research shows these labels can be inaccurate, but it beats total ignorance.

Five milligrams of THC is a good place to start for novice users, according to the Oregon Responsible Edibles Council. It's a conservative dose for adults who don't know their tolerance or are consuming for recreational, rather than medical, purposes.

4. It will be okay if you get too high.
If your heart starts to race, your hands tremble, and anxiety strikes, it's helpful to remember there are no recorded cases of people fatally overdosing on marijuana. Zero.

"The good thing about [consuming too much] weed is it can't kill you," Kim Geraghty, co-founder of Madame Munchie, whose gourmet cannabis macarons recently took the award for best dessert at Hempcon, told Business Insider. "But it can make you very uncomfortable."

There are things you can do to mitigate an "Oh, no, what I have done?" high. First, relax.

"Remind yourself that you're in no danger and the state you're in is temporary," writes David Schmader in his excellent book, "Weed: The User's Guide." "Surround yourself with stuff that makes you feel safe. (If this means pajamas in bed, so be it.)"

Drink some water to stay hydrated and eat a snack preferably one that is ready-to-eat and does not require operating a stove to boost your blood sugar. Call up a trusted friend to feel less alone.
