alt.drugs FAQ : "How do I prepare marijuana or hash to be consumed with my
|
|
THC absorbing gastrointestinal system?"
|
|
|
|
Well, this is the very Beta version of the FAQ for eating marijuana (I mean
|
|
way* beta, i.e. version 0.005b). Any additions are welcome: send them to
|
|
mtymp15@staff.tc.umn.edu. My initial request for information yielded a few
|
|
decent replys, 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 injestion. One version of a recipe for this kind of
|
|
butter is included, the recipes are not. Use your imagination and you will
|
|
find better food to make than the recipes I got. I have* included a couple
|
|
interesting recipes that sound very* good regardless, and any information you
|
|
have about experiencing a trip on these recipes would also be fun to throw into
|
|
the FAQ.
|
|
|
|
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 of thoroughly sifted
|
|
pot in it. 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 strain, 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 from other baked epicurian masters. 10 minutes works fine for my
|
|
"friends."]
|
|
|
|
To warm up the pan a little will make the butter flow easier. Also strain the
|
|
butter that is gathered in the deeper parts of the pan. 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. I have not experienced
|
|
consuming the beverage at what might be called a "baseline," so I do not know
|
|
if it has psychoactive qualities. Film at 11.]
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
[Ahh... to have pounds and pounds of hash lying around just waiting to be used
|
|
to cook a nice breakfast. Not.]

Making Tea ****
|
|
|
|
A FOAF is a cook whose closer friends (certainly not me) enjoy such
|
|
intoxicating pleasantries. From what I've heard, the cannabinoids
|
|
won't dissolve in water at any temperature. Browsing through my FOAF's
|
|
cookbook, Adam Gottlieb's _The Art & Science of Cooking With Cannabis_
|
|
(20th Century Alchemist, 1974), one might come across
|
|
|
|
"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 [!$WoW$!]).
|
|
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. . . . Serves two. [!!]
|
|
|
|
"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 ****
|
|
|
|
Last week I celebrated my promotion (like getting tenure at U of
|
|
Chicago). After giving every one a "Hemp Saftey Course" including the
|
|
video of "Hemp for Victory" I brought out a batch of brownies. The "pro's"
|
|
in the group said they tasted like "liquid hash". Most people said they
|
|
felt good till 4pm the next day. So I thought I'd share the recipe with
|
|
the net:
|
|
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 sautee.
|
|
% Serve over rice.
|
|
% Wait an hour.
|
|
% ENJOY!
|
|
|
|
tips: 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
|
|
substitue grass by grinding it up reall 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 (margerine 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 the mix is hot enough. so, remove from heat.
|
|
if it doesn't sizzle, then your low setting is low enough.
|
|
I usally just turn off the heat, but leave the pan on
|
|
the burner (ceramic stove).
|
|
5) stir in the sugar little by little (so it dont 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 dont 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.

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, wett, 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 !!
|
|
|
|
send me a piece ;)

BreakFAST (!) ****
|
|
|
|
try adding 2 heaping tablespoons of manicured, cleaned, finely choped buds
|
|
to your breakfast cereal (3 works better), add milk and sugar like normal
|
|
and wala. works, stays with you and is different!
|
|
|

["AND is DIFFERENT!" Yes... have we had our head checked? Last time I ate
|
|
2 "heaping" tablespoons of buds was when I was in the back seat of a police
