The Marijuana Cooking FAQ
What is Cannabis?
Cannabis, also known as marijuana or ganja, is a flowering plant which has been used for thousands of years for its medicinal, recreational, spiritual, and industrial value. The flowers of the female cannabis plant can be smoked, prepared in food, or made into other extractions like hash, hash-oil, and tinctures. The stalks of the plant are made of strong fibers known as hemp. Hemp has hundreds if not thousands of industrial uses from making paper to health and beauty products.
Why Cook with Cannabis?
Besides the obvious health benefits of cooking marijuana as opposed to smoking it, marijuana is used in food for many reasons. The high of smoked cannabis generally only lasts up to two and a half hours, whereas marijuana prepared in food can last up to five hours or more. This is a great advantage if marijuana is being used medically for pain relief. The high from cooked cannabis can also be much more intense than when smoked.
Can cannabis be prepared in any food?
If cannabis is to be used efficiently in foods it must be extracted into a butter, ghee, oil, or other fatty substance. So cannabis could be used in any foods or recipes that call for butter, ghee, or oil. Not all food will pair well with cannabis though, but with a little experimentation you will decide for yourself what foods you like to eat with cannabis. Be it pot brownies or a delicious pot pizza made with tasty cannabis cooking oil.
What does cannabis taste like?
Depending on the type (strain) of marijuana and other factors such as how it was grown, marijuana can vary in flavor. It can be earthly like mushrooms, fruity, sour, sweet, nutty, and more. Experiment with different types of weed in different recipes to experience the wide range of flavors that are possible with marijuana.
What are hemp-seeds and what are they used for?
As one of the world's most balanced and richest known sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (EFAs), cannabis seeds are nutritional powerhouses. The EFAs found in hemp-seeds are known to reduce the risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, eczema and psoriasis, attention deficit disorder and depression. Cannabis seeds also contain a perfect balance of essential amino acids, B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, potassium, Vitamin E and carotene. Hemp seeds can be used as a type of flour, or pressed into the delicious and nutritious hempseed-oil.
What is hemp seed oil?
Hemp seed oil is an oil extracted from cannabis seeds. It is extremely nutrient-rich and there are many health benefits whenusing it.
What is cannabutter?
Cannabutter is an extraction of cannabinoids (the psychoactive oils found in cannabis) into butter. This butter may then be used in recipes that call for butter, or used like traditional butter on toast, pancakes, and more.
What is ghee and cannabis ghee?
Ghee is a type of (delicious!) clarified butter commonly used in Middle-Eastern countries like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and Egypt. Much like cannabutter, cannabis ghee is made by combining marijuana and unsalted butter over heat. Because it is clarified, Ghee can be stored for extended periods of time without refrigeration as long as it is sealed in an air-tight container to prevent oxidation.
