D.I.Y. Edibles Essentials

Christina Wong is a culinary cannabis educator, recipe creator, and self-described “baked baker” whose expertise making her own edibles has garnered widespread attention throughout the industry. From beautifully decorated shortbread desserts, elaborate cakes, and a wide variety of other delicious creations, Wong frequently celebrates the intersection between culinary art and cannabis.

Through her creative media company Fruit + Flower Co., Wong teaches others how to properly understand the process of making their own edibles by demystifying the terminology, reviewing the methods of infusion, discussing correct dosing, and providing numerous recipes to put all the learning into practice. High Times took a moment to chat with Wong about tips for beginners, which infusion methods are best, and what’s trending in the edibles scene.

The Art of the Home Edible

To Wong, food and cannabis are a perfect combination.

“If you like cannabis, you love food, because the best thing in the whole world is to get high and eat,” she says.

Despite this, many people miss out on the enjoyment of homemade edibles because cooking with cannabis can be intimidating.

“When I first started looking [for information], there was this mystique and mystery to making edibles,” Wong says. “For me, there was definitely a fear of messing up or making it too potent, getting too high, or giving something to somebody that gets them too high. I want to challenge people to rethink that we can make cannabutter and edibles at very low doses, it doesn’t have to be all super high dose.”

Buying edibles at the dispensary is convenient, but it can be cost prohibitive, she says. 

“I think that cannabis is such an important plant medicine that the more people know how to cook and bake at home so that they can give themselves and their loved ones medicine, the better.”

Understanding Infusion

Wong shares that one of the most primary essentials to creating edibles is understanding proper dosing. Instead of decarbing flower and infusing a fat like cannabutter she recommends beginners try adding an oil-based tincture in which the THC dosing is already measured. Once confidence is established, home cooks can start to learn how to decarboxylate their flowers or trim. All of the recipes Wong posts online use whole flower infused with either cannabis-infused butter or oil, and include directions to dose at 5 mg per serving or less.

For first timers, Wong recommends going for an easy decarboxylation method: Mason jars in an oven.

“Everyone has a Mason jar, everyone has an oven, and it’s foolproof,” she explains. “It’s smell proof. There’s less smell. And even if it’s not the most efficient way of getting all of the cannabinoids to convert and to infuse, at least that’s the place to start. And then they can get their confidence, and then try something new.”

Wong explains in more detail on Fruit + Flower Co. that her usual process to decarb cannabis includes placing cannabis flower in a pint-sized Mason jar and sealing the jar with a lid. After setting the oven to 240 degrees Fahrenheit, she heats the cannabis an hour, shaking the jar every 20 minutes. After it is left to cool, the decarbed cannabis can be infused to a fat such as butter or oil.

Expanding Expertise

While Wong has made it her goal to educate and inspire others to learn how to make their own edibles, it is but one facet of her expertise. In the past, Wong worked with brands and organizations to create unique desserts, such as Source Cannabis and Stündenglass. Most recently, she helped host the AAPI (Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders) 3rd Annual Mogu Magu party (Mogu meaning mushroom in Chinese, and Magu is the name of a Chinese hemp goddess) held in September to celebrate the mid-autumn festival.

Although she recommends using whole flower for beginners, Wong sometimes branches out to use a variety of other types of cannabis ingredients in her more elaborate creations.

“I’ve been experimenting more cooking with concentrates just because I love the pure flavor of that,” she says. “You can get so much flavor and terpene profile and high potency using concentrates.”

Making edibles at home offers unlimited potential, but edibles sold in dispensaries are usually more limited. But recently Wong has noticed an increase in edibles infused with solventless concentrates as well as savory edible offerings.

“I’m seeing more solventless edibles coming out onto the market because I think people are caring more about the quality of not just the ingredients of what goes into their edibles, but also the quality of the cannabis that goes in,” Wong says. “But I think if you are a plant enthusiast, and you want to appreciate all flavors, and everything the plant has to offer, solventless is absolutely the way to go.”

Recipe: Brown Butter Vanilla Bean Shortbread Bars

by Christina Wong

Soft and crumbly, these luscious browned butter and vanilla shortbread bars are glazed with a creamy vanilla bean icing. Infused with 10 mg of cannabis each, strains such as Wedding Cake and Biscotti with doughy, creamy aromas, would pair well with the nutty, vanilla notes of this edible. 

The showstopper decor is my signature “botanical bandit” style, made with pressed cannabis leaves and organic edible flowers. Inspired by my friend The Velvet Bandit, who spreads positive art through wheatpasting.

Time to Prepare: 55-60 minutes

Makes 20 approximately 3” x 1.5” bars dosed at ~10 mg each

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups all-purpose flour

⅓ cup cornstarch

1 ½ cups cannabutter (200 mg THC total), softened*

1 ¼ cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon choice of milk (whole, oat, hemp, almond)

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or 1 vanilla bean pod, scraped

½ teaspoon salt

Vanilla Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

¼ teaspoon vanilla bean paste or 1 vanilla bean pod, scraped

¼ cup choice of milk 

Other:

Small cannabis fan leaves and edible flowers for decoration, rinsed and pat dry (Optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the cannabutter over medium high heat until the butter starts bubbling and turns golden brown. Butter browns at 250 degrees F, a low enough temp to prevent cannabinoid and terpene burnoff. Remove from heat to cool to room temp, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour to chill until the butter has solidified from liquid to softened state. Stir occasionally. Can be made ahead and stored until ready to use.  

2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl, stir together flour and cornstarch. Set aside. 

3. In a large bowl, beat together softened cannabutter, powdered sugar until creamed and fluffy. Beat in 1 tablespoon milk, vanilla bean, and salt on medium speed until combined. 

4. Slowly stir in the flour and cornstarch mixture a little at a time until combined. Continue beating until a crumbly dough comes together. It should feel like crumbly soft sand that holds together. Press together and make sure any crumbly flour bits are mixed thoroughly into the dough. If the dough is too dry and crumbly and not holding together, drizzle and mix in a little more milk until the dough can press and hold together. 

5. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Place into the oven and bake on the center rack for 40 minutes. Turn the pan halfway through baking to bake evenly until slightly golden brown on the edges. Remove pan from oven and place onto a rack to cool. 

6. Make the Vanilla Glaze: In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with milk and vanilla bean until you get a smooth, thin, runny glaze that just coats the back of a spoon with a thin film. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar a little at a time until you reach desired consistency. Set aside. 

7. Glaze + Decorate: Place the small cannabis leaves and edible flowers (optional) each scattered across the top of the cookie. Pour glaze evenly on top of the entire cookie pan and over the cannabis leaves and flowers. Using a small spatula or pastry brush, gently spread to evenly distribute the glaze and coat the decoration. The leaves should look like they’re covered with a sheet of ice.   

8. Let the cookie and icing cool completely in the pan until the glaze hardens, three or more hours. Using the sides of the parchment paper, lift the uncut cookie out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut into 20 rectangles. Store covered in a cool, dry place.

Pot in the Pantry

Long gone are the days when cannabis edibles were limited simply to sweets like brownies or gummies. Brands like Potli are bringing cannabis into daily meal routines with infused kitchen pantry staples, making cannabis consumption more welcoming and accessible to consumers of all ages and experience levels.

Potli was co-founded by CEO Felicity Chen, along with her college roommate Christine Yi, with a goal to bring cannabis-infused ingredients into the kitchen. The company began with selling infused raw honey (the “Dream Honey” won first place in the CBD category at the 2021 Emerald Cup), followed by other unique cooking ingredients such as a cannabis-infused extra virgin olive oil, as well as a cannabis-infused sriracha (which also won first place at last year’s Emerald Cup in the Edibles/Savory category). More recently, the brand has begun an expansion of ready-to-eat products with its cannabis-infused shrimp chips as well (made with Potli’s infused olive oil), which won first place in the Edibles/Savory category at the Emerald Cup in 2022.

Potli products offer a fresh new way to use cannabis as a condiment.

From Pot to Potli

Chen, a Bay Area-native, met her Potli co-founder Christine Yi when they were randomly paired as roommates during their freshman year of college on the East Coast at Boston University. During that time, Chen recalls experimenting with cannabis in their dorm room, causing the hallways to smell strongly of herb. But ultimately, she discovered how cannabis helped her on a more personal level.

“I have always been someone that has been you know, a more anxious teen and going into my college years to someone that just had a lot of energy and didn’t really know how to calm my brain,” Chen says. “It just was something that was interesting to me and calmed me.”

After graduation, Chen returned to the Bay Area and Yi remained on the East Coast, and their transition from consumers to entrepreneurs began as they worked together to develop Potli.

Although Potli became a way to keep Chen and Yi connected remotely, it was also founded as a method to help treat Chen’s mother’s asthma and allergies. When Chen returned home, she discovered that her father had learned how to keep bees in order to harvest honey for her mom. 

Chen explains that her mom’s daily routine usually starts with honey and lemon. Raw honey can be added to a variety of different dishes, such as tea, oats, or smoothies, and contains beneficial antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Add cannabis into the mix, and it becomes even more useful as part of a healthy regimen.

While Chen’s mother was not interested in smoking cannabis, adding it to her honey allowed her to partake in a format that she found more familiar and comfortable.

“I’m a second generation Chinese American, meaning that like, there’s no way my mom would ever smoke weed with me. That was just a given, right?” Chen says. “But she understood the benefits of cannabis. And all of its anti-inflammatory effects through the lens of ‘This is medicine.’ And so, medicine typically is consumed with edibles. And it’s also truly the healthiest way to consume cannabis, through an edible.”

One of Potli’s main goals is to create and promote food as medicine, a philosophy that has led the company to create its best-selling infused honey products. The company’s honey harvest operation includes anywhere between 30 to 50 hives, depending on the season (honeybees are more active in spring and summer). Currently, Potli sells different infused variations of infused raw honey, such as one that contains THC, CBD, and CBN, while another contains just CBD.

Cannabis as a Condiment

The company has continued to expand its line of pantry essentials to include other useful ingredients as well.

Potli’s Cannabis Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil is sourced from the same region that the company gets its cannabis—Lake County, California. Their olive oil comes from Campodonico Olive Farm, among a few other local olive farms, while their cannabis comes from Aster Farms, which is well-known in the region for its dedication to transparency and organic growing practices that produce high-quality sungrown cannabis flower.

Chen believes it’s crucial to promote and work with local producers in order to spotlight some of California’s agricultural products.

“That’s the reason why we create what we create, because our products are pretty much products that you can only find in California. And it is grown with such intention, and created with such care, and it tells a story about all of these different farmers that make it and are behind it,” Chen says.

Following the success of Potli’s cannabis-infused extra virgin olive oil, its cannabis-infused sriracha took the stage, offering a spicy kick to a variety of meals.

Between offering infused honey, olive oil, and sriracha, Potli already covers a wide base for experimentation.

Courtesy Potli

“But these are the types of things that [you] really can make any recipe with it, right? And that’s what I love, is that you can make a salad dressing to like, fried chicken, and you can use every single ingredient and make wildly different products. You can make a soup that’s really Chinese style, so like [with] tofu. So all of these things are just really, really different,” Chen says.

Chen explains that she personally enjoys experimenting with different cannabis-infused dishes in the evenings.

“I love making food. That’s also one of my ways that I de-stress,” Chen explains. “And part of that journey is also making food with Potli goods that get me high, and then I have the best sleep ever.”

In the past, Potli carried infused chili oil and apple cider vinegar products as well. Chen shared that there are plans to re-release these products soon. Chen also hinted at a new, exciting product coming in the near future. While she couldn’t divulge the details just yet, she explains that it’s something she’s confident that the Potli community is going to love.

In the meantime, Potli’s dedication to creating versatile food items will continue to lead the way in infused home cooking and healthy eating.

“We really think that through edibles and through things that you eat, health is just something that is based on what you eat. And, you know, that’s the age-old adage,” Chen says. “And that’s really what the company’s main values are, is that we’re correcting people’s health and helping people feel better through the foods that they eat.”

100-Year-Old Candy Factory Becomes Largest THC Edible Manufacturer in the Country

Today’s candy comes infused with THC under the brand name XITE Edibles. This company has ignited business across the United States, found in more than 5,000 retail locations nationwide. Consumers 21 years and older can order their infused edibles of choice online and have them shipped directly to their homes without the requirement of a medical card. 

From rich chocolates and the nostalgic taste of candied popcorn to lip-puckering hard candies and mouth-watering chews, XITE Edibles has expanded the palates of THC edibles across the country.

The Classic Candy Story Continues with THC Edibles

The story of Patsy’s Candy, before XITE Edibles launched, began in the late 1800s with Patsy Mehaney. He created the best candied popcorn and salt water taffy, which loyal customers would say remains the best to this day. Patsy Mehaney developed what would become his legendary candy making process and sold his candied popcorn and salt water taffy at local fairs and events around Terra Haute, Indiana. 

As legend has it, a company called Cracker Jack got word of Patsy’s famous candied popcorn. A deal was ultimately made for this classic recipe. Afterwards, Patsy moved out west to Colorado in 1903 to the artsy town of Manitou Springs and Patsy’s Candies was brought to life. 

Courtesy XITE Edibles

The story of Patsy’s Candy moves forward now in Colorado Springs with the innovations and research of THC infused candies, produced and sold from the factory by XITE Edibles. The family’s mission of using the finest ingredients remains the same, only now used in XITE’s products made with Full Spectrum Hemp Extract containing Delta 9 THC which is legal to consume and sell in over 40 states.

XITE Edibles Infused with Colorado-Sourced THC, Full Spectrum CBD

XITE Edibles are, in essence, a prominent concoction of 100-year-old classic candy recipes and today’s innovation of THC oils for consumption. The Full Spectrum THC extract used in XITE Edibles is sourced from locally grown hemp plants in Colorado, then infused into a variety of the iconic Patsy’s Candies recipes. 

Full Spectrum Hemp Extract is full of terpenes, which contain a variety of cannabinoids that work simultaneously together to produce what researchers call the “entourage effect.” These cannabinoids may provide more relief than any average CBD product. Not only do customers all over the United States get a delicious, mouth-watering treat but a natural source of calmness and relief from XITE Edibles. 

The entourage effect is the process of the numerous cannabinoids included in Full Spectrum Hemp Extract that work together as a natural powerhouse in our bodies. Cannabinoids affect the body’s master regulatory system, called the endocannabinoid system. This bodily system plays a role in functions of our immune, digestive, and central nervous systems. 

XITE Edibles and Patsy’s Candies have joined forces to make their own chocolate with the highest quality ingredients available and an all natural Delta 9 oil that is identical to marijuana extracts. Delta 9 is legal throughout the United States for those 21 years of age and older. Customers of legal age can order directly from xiteedibles.com and have their edibles shipped in temperature-regulated packaging for a guaranteed satisfaction delivery.

As various Patsy’s Candies are infused with the Full Spectrum Hemp Extract to craft XITE Edibles, customers 21 years and older enjoy a rich, great-tasting edible with the calming physical and mental effects.

The most popular reason why people consume THC edibles is that they tend to offer a more relaxed and mellow experience compared with smoking or vaping cannabis products. When digesting an edible, the THC is absorbed through the stomach rather than lungs, which means it takes longer for the THC to enter the bloodstream.

As a result, the psychoactive effects of THC will be felt gradually and last for a more extended period when consuming THC edibles. This may be preferred by those who want to use cannabis for medicinal purposes, as it may offer relief from unwanted symptoms without feeling too intoxicated or undertaking the risks of smoking and vaping.

Choose Your Favorite XITE Edibles Recipe

The THC edible industry no doubt continues to grow across the United States. First timers may be wondering which edibles to try first and how many milligrams is best to take. XITE Edibles is dedicated to sharing education and benefits of THC and CBD infused candies and snacks, from chocolates to candied popcorn. XITE takes the love of tried and true chocolate, popcorn, and taffy recipes of Patsy’s Candies and turns them into an elevated experience of not just making great-tasting edibles but creating a wonderful feeling from every bite.

XITE Edibles best sellers include the classic chocolate bars and square minis, infused with the combination of Delta 9 THC and Full Spectrum CBD. Customers have shared their creativity of making familiar favorites with XITE Edibles, like adult s’mores and using them as chocolate chips on ice cream. Another candy that goes neck-and-neck as a customer favorite are the Delta 9 Peanut Butter Nuggets. These bite-sized edibles are handcrafted with infused chocolate filled with smooth, creamy peanut butter.

Other XITE Edibles, which can be found in retail stores throughout the United States and bought online by consumers 21 years and older, include recipes like candied popcorn in which the caramel and chocolate are infused with THC oil; making them the perfect movie night adult munchies. For the sour-loving eaters, XITE Edibles crafts fruit gummies and hard candies infused with Delta 9 THC.

Courtesy XITE Edibles

Made fresh by hand from Patsy’s Candy factory in Colorado Springs, Colorado, all XITE Edibles can be shipped to customers 21 years and older in every state. Products are packaged and stored in premium materials, including insulation to guarantee products will not melt upon delivery. 

From wholesale shipments to small orders, XITE Edibles promises a fresh product every time. The packaging is also child-resistant. One of the core missions of both Patsy’s Candies and XITE Edibles is honesty. Each edible is tested for accurate dosing and labeled accordingly. These edibles deliver a consistent taste and feeling among each bite.

If you’re looking for a delicious and satisfying way to enjoy the benefits of THC products, look no further than XITE Edibles. Gone are the days of off-tasting infused chocolates and candies, as XITE Edibles are crafted with the legendary Patsy’s Candy recipes.

Muscimol Gummies: A New Way to Microdose Amanita Muscaria

The world of psychedelic science is constantly evolving, offering new avenues to explore the potential of natural substances. Among the latest developments are the practices of microdosing Amanita mushrooms and the introduction of Muscimol gummies, which provide a convenient way to engage in microdosing. These innovative gummies have captured the interest of individuals seeking to experience the distinctive benefits of Amanita Muscaria mushrooms. If you’re interested to learn how to microdose Amanita Muscaria, or want to try the new Muscimol gummies, read on to satisfy your curiosity.

Microdosing, the practice of consuming small, sub-perceptual amounts of psychedelic substances, has surged in popularity over the past decade. It has proven to be rewarding for individuals in stressful jobs as well as those seeking spiritual growth and overall well-being. By offering benefits without disrupting the daily routine, microdosing has grown in popularity. The concept revolves around taking a minuscule dose, significantly smaller than a typical recreational dose, with the intention of enhancing cognition, creativity, and emotional well-being, all while avoiding the overwhelming effects associated with a full psychedelic trip.

While substances such as LSD and psilocybin (found in “magic mushrooms”) have traditionally been the primary focus of microdosing, there is a growing interest in Amanita muscaria mushrooms due to their spiritual and historical significance. Now, with the availability of Muscimol gummies, you have the opportunity to explore microdosing Amanita muscaria for yourself!

Take advantage of our exclusive ‘Deal of the Day‘ and get 10 gummies with 2.5 mg of Muscimol each, for only $8 using the cannadelics coupon code. Stock up on these comfortable and convenient products today!

Microdose Amanita Mushrooms: The Game-changing Role of Muscimol Gummies

Muscimol, Ibotenic Acid and Amanita Mushroom

Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric, is a mushroom native to many areas in the Northern Hemisphere. It is recognizable by its distinctive bright red cap with white spots. Unlike psilocybin mushrooms, which is a controlled substance, Amanita muscaria contains ibotenic acid and muscimol, which are legal psychoactive compounds.

Muscimol is the primary psychoactive compound found in Amanita muscaria mushrooms. It is responsible for the unique effects experienced when consuming these mushrooms. As a GABA receptor agonist, muscimol interacts with the brain’s neurotransmitters, leading to potential relaxation, calming effects, and altered states of consciousness. However, it’s important to note that the effects of psychoactive compounds can vary among individuals.

Muscimol, the primary psychoactive compound in Amanita Muscaria mushrooms

Ibotenic acid is a powerful neurotoxin that can cause a range of effects, from mild agitation to seizures or even death in high doses. However, when dried or heated, ibotenic acid is converted into muscimol, and that’s why the process of preparing Amanita edibles usually involves drying, heating and only then consuming.

Microdose Amanita Muscaria

While the Amanita muscaria does not contain psilocybin, the compound typically associated with the benefits of microdosing, it contain muscimol which makes it very attractive. It’s important to note that there is far less research on microdosing Amanita muscaria when compared to psilocybin or LSD. However, as this product have been used for hundreds of years, and perhaps even more, it is safe to believe that microdose Amanita Muscaria will soon become a common practice, among the followers of the many ways for self-discovery and enlightment.

Potential Benefits & Risks

While research is only in its early stages, historical usages and anecdotal reports from individuals who have tried to microdose Amanita muscaria often mention improved mood, increased energy, and heightened creative thinking. Some users have reported a reduction in their symptoms of depression and anxiety, while others have noticed improved focus and cognitive function.

Amamita Muscaria and Amanita Pantherina mushrooms

Due to the sedative effects of muscimol, some users find Amanita muscaria helpful in managing insomnia or other sleep disorders. The muscimol may also interact with GABA receptors in the brain, which can lead to feelings of relaxation and calmness.

The consumption of Amanita muscaria is not without risks. The mushroom’s psychoactive compounds, particularly ibotenic acid, can cause adverse effects ranging from mild symptoms like nausea, dizziness, and incoordination, to more severe ones such as hallucinations, agitation, and seizures. However, it’s worth noting that when ibotenic acid is dried or heated, it converts into Muscimol, which is considered to have milder effects on the body.

Moreover, as with any product we use, whether it’s sugar, tobacco, coffee, smartphones, TV, or drugs, there is a potential risk of developing tolerance or dependency when its use is abused. It is important to approach the consumption of any substance with moderation and mindfulness.

Learn how easy it is to properly prepare Amanita Muscaria

Preparation and Consumption Methods

As we have discussed, proper preparation of Amanita muscaria is crucial due to the presence of ibotenic acid. The mushrooms should be dried, heated, or both to safely convert ibotenic acid into muscimol. Traditionally, the mushrooms are dried in the sun or over a fire, but nowadays, you can also use methods like drying in an oven at a minimal temperature with an open door or placing them near a heat source. However, it is important to avoid excessive heat, as even when making tea, the water should not exceed 170 degrees Fahrenheit (77 degrees Celsius). Once dried, the mushrooms can be consumed as they are, brewed into a tea, or used to prepare a tincture.

Microdosing typically entails ingesting a minute quantity of the mushroom, commonly in the form of a powdered substance enclosed in capsules. As is the case with any consumption, it is vital to commence with a low dose to gauge individual tolerance, gradually augmenting it if needed. Following the fundamental principle of ‘Start Low and Grow Slow‘ is advised for all substances, including when you microdose with Muscimol gummies.

Make your life easier with dry Amanita Muscaria powder

Exploring Amanita Products

As interest in Amanita muscaria grows, so too does the range of products available. Here’s a brief overview of some of the most common Amanita products:

  • Amanita Mushroom Caps: Dried mushroom caps are one of the most traditional forms of Amanita muscaria available. They can be consumed as is or used to make tea.
  • Amanita Powder: This product offers a finely ground version of the mushroom, which can be encapsulated for easy consumption or added to food and drink.
  • Amanita Tincture: A tincture is a liquid extract of the mushroom, often made with alcohol. Tinctures can be a convenient way to consume Amanita muscaria, as they can be easily measured and administered.
  • High-Potency Amanita Gummies: Usually with 500mg per gummy or more. Use it if yu are looking for a strong product and already have some experience with Muscimol.
  • Amanita Chocolate: An edible made from mixing Amanita extract with Chocolate, blending the flavors of cocoa with the potential benefits of Amanita muscaria.
  • Muscimol Isolate: This is a purified form of the muscimol. It provides a way to consume the active compound without the other components of the mushroom, or serve as the raw material for many products.

Each product provides a unique way to engage with Amanita muscaria, and the best choice depends on individual preferences and needs.

Now two years later, things have changed for the better. The World Health Organization officially announced that COVID-19 is no longer a global health emergency. The cannabis industry has continued to thrive, and Oregon is a hotbed for cannabis growth and innovation (not to mention a home to psilocybin too!) This time around, our High Times Cannabis Cup Oregon: People’s Choice Edition 2023 has been expanded to include categories such as infused pre-rolls, solvent and non-solvent concentrates, and sublinguals, capsules, tinctures and topicals as well:

Finally, we invite everyone to tune into our digital awards show to be held later this year on October 9.

If you’re an interested competitor, we’ve got plenty of options to help get your products into the hands of the people! Pricing depends on the number of products being submitted, with one entry set at $250 (non-refundable), two entries at $100 each (non-refundable), and three entries or more at $100 each (deposit per entry held, refunded when all entries are successfully submitted).

Doctors Warn Seniors About Consuming Too Much THC

Due to an uptick of incidents involving seniors consuming too much cannabis, doctors are warning older citizens about how to consume the plant correctly. Eating edibles in particular, without the proper guidance, is notorious for causing panic, though the risks are rarely physical.

KOMO News in Seattle reports that doctors want to inform seniors about ways to avoid panic and an unnecessary emergency room visit. This can be solved with simple education about the differences between edibles, topicals, and smokable products and how they affect us differently.

It’s the responsibility of any consumer to properly research before eating an edible, or consuming a high-THC product.

“There are a number of different situations where you could end up in the emergency department, because of a combination of cannabis and a medication or cannabis and another product,” Dr. Lianne Hirano of the Geriatrics department at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, told KOMO News. 

“If you are a first time user, or if you are somebody who is used to using products from the 60s and 70s, today’s products are way more potent. Your body and your metabolism might not be used to that level of potency,” she said, “That can be quite scary.”

Wall Street Journal reports that seniors are often susceptible to consuming too much cannabis if they’re used to lighter doses.

There are a number of reasons seniors are trying out cannabis for medical purposes. Some seniors turn to cannabis to help with sleeping. Researchers found that overall, cannabis helped seniors get, on average, an extra 30 minutes of sleep. Study participants used smartphones and actigraphy watches to log their sleep patterns

Some seniors believe cannabis can help when battling aging itself. Seniors are turning to cannabis to treat common symptoms of aging, with nearly 80% of those who reported using cannabis saying they did so for medicinal reasons, according to a study from researchers at the University of California San Diego. Results of the study, “Cannabis: An emerging treatment for common symptoms in older adults,” were published on Oct. 7, 2020 in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society.

Today’s Weed is ‘A Different Animal’

Hashtag Cannabis Marketing Director Christine Bryant described today’s more potent weed as “a different animal.”

“The difference is when using a topical, you’re not going to feel the intoxicating effects of THC. But you will feel some of the anti-inflammatory effects that THC can provide for the skin barrier. That’s the difference with an oral (product), like a gummy or a chocolate, something like that. Is this going to affect your whole system? You’re going to process it through your liver, you’re going to feel whole body effects,” she said.

In the event that you consume too much THC, sniffing black peppercorns is an old hack that can reduce some, but not all, of the effect.

Studies show both improvements and setbacks due to senior cannabis use. Last January, researchers from the University of California San Diego published a study in the Journal of American Geriatrics Society, suggesting that emergency room visits involving people 65 and older who use cannabis have increased 1,804% in the past 15 years.

Another study published in the Journal of American Geriatrics Society also reported an uptick in seniors who are consuming cannabis. In a survey of nearly 600 adults in the age range found that 15% reported using marijuana products in the last three years.

Anyone getting into cannabis should be aware of the proper titration in order to prevent panicked calls to the emergency room.

Grandma Who Supplied Cannabutter in Australia Sentenced

One grandma in Australia found healing benefits through cannabis-infused butter, but it backfired when her teen great-grandson used it to bake cupcakes and shared them at school.

Pam Annette Bickerton, 74, was sentenced May 4 after her teen great-grandson used her cannabis-infused butter to bake cupcakes and share them to classmates at school in South Australia.

The Adelaide Advertiser reports that Bickerton made the cannabis-infused butter to control her sleeping disorder, and it worked, the jury heard at an April 19 court hearing.

Bickerton says she was halfway asleep when her unnamed teen grandson asked if he could use some of the cannabutter. “Still in a state of tiredness and unfortunately … she said ‘go for it—just make sure that you clean up afterwards’,” her lawyer said in court.

When police responded to the incident and arrived at Bickerton’s home in the weeks after, she admitted that she still had three bags of cannabutter in her freezer and two bongs, which were immediately seized.

Magistrate Justin Wickens, however, was not impressed with the defense, saying that Bickerton should’ve known better.

“Police became aware of an allegation that a student was selling cupcakes laced with cannabis at [the school after the students] presented at the sick bay displaying symptoms consistent with cannabis consumption,” Magistrate Justin Wickens said. “Police spoke to two students who disclosed that [another student] was providing the cannabis-laced cakes.”

The judge asked her to consider the weight of her alleged crime. “This is very serious offending and supplying drugs to minors is a very serious offense,” he said.

Bickerton pleaded guilty to one count of supplying or administering a controlled drug to a child before appearing in the Adelaide Magistrates Court.

The great-grandmother was sentenced on Thursday. Bickerton faced a jail sentence of 3.5 years behind bars, but dropped in favor of pleading guilty and getting a good-behavior bond.

No charges were given to her great grandson for distributing the cupcakes.

Cannabis Reform in Australia

Medical cannabis is legal Australia-wide with a prescription and under certain restrictions. Cannabis is a scheduled substance in the county, regulated by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration).

Cannabis reform for adult use in Australia continues to push forward. A recent report has revealed Australia’s plans to approach cannabis legalization within the next few years.

The Australian Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) recently released a proposal exploring two options on how to approach cannabis legalization. It was commissioned to explore what legalization could look like through the request of Sen. David Shoebridge and the Australian Greens Party, also referred to as the Greens.

According to the PBO’s report, the first option would establish the creation of the Cannabis National Agency (CANA), which would act as the sole wholesaler between producers and retailers, set wholesale prices on cannabis, and issue licenses to potential cannabis business owners. The second option contains all provisions from the first option, except for the final recommendation, which would change the excise tax to 15% instead of 25%.

Grandmas and Infused Edibles

Another grandma made headlines for helping the sick with her cannabis-infused edibles. Mary Jane Rathbun, aka “Brownie Mary,” helped people suffering from HIV and chemotherapy with cannabis-infused edibles. At her peak, Rathbun was baking 600 infused brownies a week at $20 per dozen.

She helped to decriminalize cannabis as well. In 1992, Mary testified to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors about the benefits of cannabis, leading to a resolution to make medical cannabis possession the “lowest priority” in arrests and prosecution.
