SMOKING

TEAS
TINCTURE
COMPRESS
MARINOL
| Smoking: The most
expedient method of using medical marijuana is to smoke it.
The effects are more controllable in this form and experienced within moments. Inhaling smoke is a concern. I recommend a water pipe, available in local stores. Smoke quality flowers as opposed to leaf material to reduce the risk of inhaling harmful particulate matter. Moderation appears to be a key concept involved in long term use. |
| Eating: Another method
of using medical marijuana is ingestion. It can be baked directly
or made into butter that is used to prepare foodstuffs. It take considerably longer to experience the effects. Occasionally a patient may feel of uneasy (refer to section on Uneasiness). Another feeling may be of weight or heaviness, or perhaps even grogginess. It is appropriate to allow time to rest in order to assess how you will respond. Remember that every batch of baked goods will vary with the potency of the marijuana leaf that is used. Butterleaf Flour Mother's Milk Johnny Cakes Flour Leaf Butter NOTE: If you use your crock pot know that it is likely to render it unusable for any other purpose |
| Teas: can be made
from water or milk, soy, seed, nut or rice milk.
The active ingredients are oil soluble. If you prefer to drink tea made from water then be certain to 'notice' the oil floating on the top of the tea. This method takes a few minutes if a flower top is being used, it may be saved and used on another occasion.Otherwise let the tea steep for 1-2 hours and add a tsp. of butter. The effects vary so begin by steeping for a short
time period, increasing as needed.
|
| Tinctures: To
make tincture: Fill jar 3/4 full of herb
Fill rest of jar with alcohol, leave
some room at top stir shake jar 1 or 2 times a day
|
| Compress: Make the
preparation as you would tea made with water, or the tincture
made with vodka. Thoroughly soak a compress in the mixture and apply directly to affected area. Allow the compress to remain for at least a half hour. Compresses are often used to alleviate the pain. |
| Marinol:
This synthetic petrochemical analog' is made up of only one of the
over 400 components found in the whole marijuana plant. Some patients say this costly synthetic form aids in the relief of nausea. I am told by patients that it can take up to hour to made available for use by the body. Marinol has potential for overdose and must only be used under the supervision of a physician. |
| Day one :
First, you will start the crockpot heating with 4 cups
of water, 1 1/2 cups of Corn Oil, and 1 pound of butter. Allow crockpot
to heat on high till the butter has melted, then turn it down to low.
While the butter is melting, you can process the leaf. I use a blender to grind the left, but I have been told that a coffee grinder works as well or better. What you must do is grind the leaf as fine as you can. I like to grind it up and put it all in a medium bowl. Then I spoon the fine powder into the sifter over the butter and oil mixture in the crockpot. Gently shake the sifter over the crockpot til most of the fine goes through. Put what wonít go through back in the blender. And continue this until you have sifted all of the fine marijuana powder one time. Be careful not to shake the sifter to hard as you will lose a lot of the powder to fine dust, that wil get lost in the air. Once you have sifted the powder once, regrind the coarse stuff with the blender and sift it again over the water and oil mixture, this time throw away the coarse leaf stems that wonít go through the sifter. Now gently stir the water, oil, butter, and marijuana mixture till all is smooth. Then cover the crockpot and cook overnight. Give the mixture a gentle stirring 2 or 3 times during the cooking time. Thatís all for day one. |
Day Two :
This is the actual baking day. This process takes about 3 hours time, Please be ready to spend this time without too many distractions. First, turn off the crockpot with the marijuana mixture in it. You can use the mixture still warm, but it is better if it is not hot when you mix it with the cake batter. Now, Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the 3 boxes of cakemix, 1 1/2 teaspoons of
baking powder and 1 cup of flour with a large spoon until well mixed. Add
the 12 eggs and 1 cup of milk or buttermilk and mix with electric mixer
until just combined. Now stir in the cooled marijuana mixture, making sure
to scrape the sides of the crockpot for as much of the mixture as you can
easily get out. Then, mix the entire mixture until it is smooth and well
mixed.
*Note : The addition of the extra pound of butter, the three extra
eggs, the baking powder, to the cake mix is compensated by the addition
of the marijuana, flour, and milk; and gives the muffins a better texture.
I usually use Devils food or another dark chocolate flavors of cake mix,
mostly for the coloring, but the cake mix flavor can be any kind. I would
say feel free to experiment, just remember your baking for others.

Now you are ready get the
muffin pans ready for filling. Be sure to start with clean dry muffin pans.
Place the paper or foil muffin cups in the muffin pans. Then fill the muffin
cups to 2/3 full. The ice cream scoop will measure this amount in each level
scoop of batter. With a little practice you can learn to fill the scoop just
right for even size and pretty to look at muffins. Fill only the muffin pans
that you are going to bake at one time. Bake only on one shelf in your oven
at one time. Place as many muffin pans as you can on one shelf leaving a little
space in between. Bake in 350 degree oven for twenty (20) minutes. Check for
doneness by sticking a tooth pick into the center of one one of the muffins
and making sure it comes out dry. No uncooked batter clinging to it. Remove
muffin pans from oven, remember pans are very hot. Use Hotpads for your hands
and be thoughtful of the surfaces you place the hot muffin pans on. Let muffins
cool for one to five minutes in pans. Then remove the muffins to wire cooling
racks. Slip the blade of a butter knife between muffin pan and paper or foil
muffin cup to coax muffins out of muffin pan. Let cool for twenty minutes while
you are baking the next batch (see below). Then move cooled muffins to sheet
pan to allow to cool completely, before bagging. Please remember to allow yourself
enough time to allow the muffins to completely cool before bagging, otherwise
the muffins will ìsweatî or condensate in bags. Bag the muffins
four (4) per bag with tops all facing the same direction. Then place in shopping
bags. Please limit the amount in each shopping bag to ten (10) fourpacks. Fresh
muffins crush very easily, please be careful.
Continue the process of filling the paper
or foil cups in the muffin pans as they become available. Clean muffin pans
of burnít crumbs and such as is neccessary between baking cycles. Please
remember to let muffins completely cool before bagging. Thank You
