Let’s Talk for a Moment About Edibles

I’ve just returned from a few days’ trip out to the West Coast for business, and my two visits to dispensaries were both enlightening and concerning. First of all, the concerning part, but mostly from a cost perspective, what they are made of. Well, there really isn’t any way to tell what’s in there- aside from the marketing descriptions and the catch phrases like Resin and Distillate and Tincture- all solvent-rich extraction method concentrates from OK quality flower/stems/roots/sugar leaf and trim. In other words, the not-so-hot herbs are made into high-quantity distillates for use in edibles, beverages, and concentrates. With that said, I prefer products made with Rosin. Hash Rosin is preferable for what is called Nanotechnology. When you visit dispensaries, there is no real education in place to differentiate between the two, resin/rosin.

Why is there a difference?

Accessibility of Nanotechnology is the reason why you should be enjoying the high-quality edibles produced by companies such as Zen Cannabis (available in many states). But first, what is Nanotechnology and why is it important?

Bioavailability- how quickly the edible hits you, how strongly, and how predictably is essential. I want to know that a ten mg edible is going to have a specific “feeling”, each time, every time. I don’t want to get destroyed, nor do I want to have to “double up” my dose. The following is from the Zen Cannabis website:

Nanotechnology involves the manipulation of materials at the nanoscale, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers. At this scale, materials display unique properties that differ from their larger-scale counterparts. These properties include increased surface area, enhanced reactivity, and the ability to penetrate biological membranes more efficiently. 

Nanotechnology is used across numerous industries, from electronics to medicine. In medicine, it has revolutionized drug delivery systems, enabling precise targeting of diseased cells while minimizing side effects. In the supplement industry, nanotechnology enhances the absorption and bioavailability of nutrients, ensuring that the body can utilize them more effectively.

One of the key benefits of nanotechnology is its ability to improve the bioavailability of active ingredients. Bioavailability refers to the proportion of a substance that enters the bloodstream and is available for use by the body. By breaking down substances into nanoparticles, nanotechnology ensures they are more easily absorbed by the body, leading to more effective results.

The reason why nano technology is so game changing is quality and enjoyment. No one wants an unpredictable experience. Nano technology makes each dose an experience for the betterment of your well-being. I recommend this technology and hope you will find Zen Cannabis products to be to your liking.

Typically, I don’t enjoy edibles because of their bio-availability problems. And my personal experiences baking brownies or cookies are problematic because of dosing. No one wants to get wrecked!

Fine products like the Zen Cannabis line make it easy for me to have a predictable experience and enjoyment of cannabis in more formats.

Their vegan chocolate bar, helpfully segmented into perfect little ten-milligram bricks, is delicious! Even diehard chocolate fans (like me) will be charmed. Ten milligrams is just enough to take the edge off, but never lose reality. Unless you want to eat the whole bar, then it’s up to you!

I never have trouble sleeping, but I took a couple of the NiteNite gummies the other night and don’t remember a thing. Who am I? Oh, it’s not that strong, but the overall experience was of fast, deep sleep. Isn’t that the reason why you enjoy gummies?

The flavors are true to form, and the textures are natural and fun. This is a very eclectic company that makes high-quality products that are simply made—with love. It’s obvious!

And the enlightening part?

Being able to sleep on a plane coming back from SFO without much trouble… with Zen Cannabis gummies of course!

420 Roundup!

Klaus Mezzrole
Many cannabis-infused beverages taste like they were concocted by someone who has never tasted a proper cocktail in their life. Thankfully Klaus tapped the skills of acclaimed mixologist Warren Bobrow, aka the Cocktail Whisperer, to infuse a piquant punch of ginger with zesty lime with rice vinegar, resulting in an adult-quality drink with 10mg THC and < 1mg CBD THC per can.

Infused Lemonade | Cannabis Cocktail Recipe

By Warren Bobrow @warrenbobrow

I love the basic cocktails. You know, the ones that are classics because they resonate with history, not just for getting swilled. Sure, they will take to the place of your dreams, but that’s just part of the equation. Back in the day of the early apothecary down in New Orleans, many punches were created to stave off diseases such as scurvy. Citrus was scarce in much of the south and places that saw plenty of shipping traffic, such as New Orleans would attract sailors who, to say the very least, were not drinking a glass of orange juice with their breakfast. The first thing that happens when you have scurvy is your hair falls out. Then all your teeth fall out. Then you take a flying leap off the yardarm. Because the mind is the next thing to go. Of course, scurvy can be prevented by taking citrus. That’s why British sailors were called Limeys for the fresh lime juice they squeezed into their rum cocktails. Only takes a little bit of citrus to make all the difference between sanity and insanity at sea. 

The Pharmacy Punch is a sum of several parts, so follow along with me… I think you’ll like the way this drink turns out.

Part 1: Infused Simple Syrup

First Step… Making the Simple Syrup… This is a 1:1 Spring Water to Demerara Sugar simple syrup… Boil water. Add a cup of Demerara Sugar and ½-1 ounce per cup of decarbed cannabis in a cheesecloth pouch. Simmer the cannabis and the sugar/water mixture at 160 degrees for 45 minutes adding a touch of fresh water as needed. Let cool. Place in fridge overnight. 

The next morning, remove the cannabis flower pouch from the simple syrup and set aside in the fridge until needed. Should last no more than a week. If the syrup starts jumping around in your fridge and speaking lost languages of the Brazilian rainforest, throw it out immediately… 

Part 2: Vietnamese Style Lemonade

I use only freshly squeezed lemons plus the cannabis infused simple syrup… That’s it! You’ll need 2-3 dozen lemons for this part of the recipe… sweetness to taste. Remember the simple syrup has weed in it, so if it gets on your hands, you’re going to get super stoned. 

Recipe: New Orleans Style-Fizzy Pharmacy Punch

Ingredients:

  • 1 Quart of Vietnamese Style Lemonade 
  • 1 Cup THC infused Simple Syrup (I do ½-1 oz. of cannabis per cup of simple)
  • Coconut Water Ice Cubes- Freeze a tray of coconut water overnight in an ice cube tray, inside two freezer bags- so they won’t smell like your garlic pasta, lurking in the back of the fridge for a month. it’s back there. I know. I can smell it from here in NJ…. 
  • Fresh Mint, well washed and picked over
  • Sparkling water
  • Pinch of Kosher Salt, and then another pinch. 
  • Creole Style Bitters, like Peychaud’s

Prep:

  1. Prepare the Vietnamese Lemonade with the THC infused Simple Syrup and a couple pinches of Kosher Salt
  2. Add Sparkling Water to taste 
  3. Add the mint and stir gently to combine
  4. Add the Coconut Water Ice Cubes
  5. Add about thirty splashes of the Creole/Peychaud’s Bitters
  6. Stir Again

I love to serve this punch in teacups, preferably with my pinkies out. Do not under any circumstances wash your fingers in this THC laden punch. It’s strictly a sipped punch, not a finger bowl. 

This punch can also be served in a punch bowl. Under those exceptional circumstances, may I please suggest freezing a large cube of the coconut water, like a gallon sized milk carton filled with above mentioned coconut water, then frozen overnight. Remove the wrapper and add to a punch bowl. Build the punch around that frozen block of coconut water ice. As it melts, the magic really takes place. Yum. 

I estimate this punch won’t let you down. You will get stoned. I promise you that. There is a serious amount of weed in that simple syrup. 

For an added kick, might I please suggest a healthy dosage of something medicinal… Craft… potent. I might suggest Foursquare Rum from Barbados. It’s not inexpensive, nor should it be with all the effort that you’ve put into this drink so far. It’s not always that you make lemonade from scratch. Nor do you prepare simple syrup with enough THC to knock down a small village. Ok, maybe not that much, but you get the gist. This is not a weak plonk punch made with uncertain ingredients. It’s a carefully woven story, best told amongst only a couple of like-minded friends who are accustomed to the best things in the world.

10 best weed drinks of 2022

Klaus infused cocktails

Klaus, a canned cannabis cocktail, is crafted for flavor chasers by mixologist Warren Bobrow. The intense flavor of their THC drink is absolutely cocktail-like and ideal to serve over ice, though you can enjoy it straight from the can as well. The tart, tangy, and ginger flavors would likely appeal to those who usually order margaritas or daiquiris. With 10 milligrams of THC in each can, it was fast-acting and provided me with a potent — but not overwhelming — high. Currently available in one flavor, the Mezzrole, with two more flavors coming soon, each $12 can is priced like a craft cocktail.

You can find Klaus cocktails at two Solful locations in Northern California: Santa Rosa and Sebastopol. So if you’re in Sonoma County, be sure to check them out.

High Life: Why You Should Skip the Booze and Drink Cannabis Instead

With alcohol consumption at an all-time high, these canna-beverages provide a bubbly, blazed respite from booze.

https://www.gearpatrol.com/food/a40050238/best-cannabis-beverages/

Nothing says “summer” like picnics, barbecues and beach trips, all fueled by ice-cold beers and spiked seltzers.

However, alcohol is downright terrible for your health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, long-term effects of alcohol include high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, digestive problems, multiple kinds of cancer and mental health problems. A two-year pandemic hasn’t helped, either — one study shows that binge drinking has increased 21 percent since the onset of COVID-19.

Cannabis use is on the rise as well, with 38 states with medical marijuana programs and 18 states legalizing it recreationally. According to a 2019 report by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 43.5 million people reported using cannabis.

Studies suggest that cannabis may carry less of a risk compared to alcohol. Some low-dose infused beverages even include magnesium, L-theanine and other functionals and terpenes for specific applications, like sleeping or working out.

“We’re learning that alcohol is toxic at lower doses than we realized, so even a drink a day is definitely worse than a 5-milligram edible for (the) liver and probably worse for brain shrinkage long-term,” says Mitch Earleywine, professor of psychology at the University at Albany, SUNY, and author of Understanding Marijuana.

Low-dose THC beverages are a crisp, cool, non-alcoholic alternative that help you avoid feeling like you’re the only one not drinking at the barbecue.

Go “low and slow,” says Austin Stevenson, chief innovation officer at Vertosa, a cannabis chemistry company which produces active ingredients for infused product makers like Artet, Cann and Wunder. “People will start between 2 and 5 milligrams, then they’ll want to graduate to 10 milligrams” — the single-serving limit of cannabis beverages.

These beverages come in multiple dosing levels — starting at 2 milligrams all the way to 10 milligrams — and resemble popular sippables like seltzers, beers and cocktails, minus the hangover.

The three varieties of cannabis-infused beverages, mixed by Warren Bobrow, are for classic cock- tail lovers with a penchant for cannabis. Each can packs 10 milligrams of THC and high-quality ingredients found in restaurants and hotels, like extra hot and spicy ginger syrup from Pickett Brothers.
