Summer’s here, and that means long weekends, cold drinks, and, for some, weather making it too hot to smoke. So we have one of Tracy Curley’s recipes for you to make (or start making) this Cannabis Day long weekend: cannabis infused alcohol, aka cannabis tincture. Whether from a dropper under the tongue, from a spray bottle-spritz in the mouth, or from a sip of a glass, tinctures are a great way to medicate without heat either in the kitchen or from a lighter. While that lack of heat means your tincture won’t be available for July — the mixture takes a month until it’s ready — if you start now you could be sipping canna-cocktails for the August long weekend!
The ruling in R v Smith made edibles legal for medical users but there are a lot of restrictions on selling them for dispensaries, so why shouldn’t patients (and their caregivers) bake their own? Twelve High Chicks thanks regular guest contributor, and baker of many goodies, Tracy Curley for this recipe for Canna-Chocolate Chip Cookies. It uses infused fats created from instructions that can be found in this post. Try ’em yourself, but remember that everyone reacts differently to edibles. Please be careful with dosage, give edibles time to work, and don’t treat your munchies with more pot-filled food!

My grandmother and my great-grandmother were fixtures in my house when I was growing up. Because of their experiences living through the Great Depression I learned an important lesson at an early age, “waste not want not.” Though spoken to me almost 30 years back these words could not be any more true today, and that’s why I love vaporizers.
While marijuana can be added to all sorts of foods for medicating without smoking, baked goods require more than just adding pot. Twelve High Chicks thanks regular guest contributor Tracy Curley for providing us, and you, with her recipes for cannabutter and canna-oil. Try ’em yourself, but remember that everyone reacts differently to edibles. Please be careful with dosage, give edibles time to work, and don’t treat your munchies with more pot-filled food!
