Cannabis is a vegetable and an essential nutritional component of our diet. We are nutritionally deficient in cannabis and have the symptoms of Cannabis Nutritional Deficiency Disease. We should be juicing pot, eating it raw ( it is NOT psychoactive when eaten raw and many times more medicinal ) and cooked, enjoying the seeds ( great protein source ) and roots and having a good smoke afterwards.

Mint and dark chocolate makes a great combination with cannabis. I simply mix canna butter (1 tablespoon per 1/2 cup chips) with equal parts dark chocolate chips and Andes mint chips then melt and stir them all together, poor them into a muffin tin and throw them in the frezzer. Half hour later u have awesome little candy bars!
I agree that weed tastes like shit. Anytime I make edibles, I do my best to use kief instead of the actual buds or plant matter. It takes a lot longer to save up the kief and some argue I should just smoke it or just make hash instead, but I can't stand the taste of weed in food. Chocolate just brings out the taste of weed even further, so whenever I make budder, I try my best to experiment with new recipes that actually contrasts with the pot flavor rather than complimenting it instead of simply making pot brownies each time.
I've made fettucini alfredo using cannabutter and cheese seems to be a really decent contrast, as do most fruit flavors like a THC-infused cherry lollipop. I've even used a couple tabs of budder to make some green eggs and ham(scrambled eggs using budder, adding a slice of cheese and using a bit of garlic powder, + bacon lol) and it comes out with hardly any pot taste at all.
I know it's probably a waste to use kief for making edibles, but it cuts the pot taste by a lot and makes the food much easier to consume. I've had cookies and brownies before that tasted purely like weed and they were almost impossible to eat without throwing up due to the nasty flavor.
Curing your product FIRST even if it's trim helps breakdown chlorophyl and get rid of that green taste. Choosing phenotypes of strains that have the right flavor is almost the MOST important aspect.
with all due respect to the esteemed experts mentioned in the above article, i find that it is not necessary to taste the cannabis in the "medibles" i create. i make beautiful ice creams, some that mask the cannabis and some that play on the flavor. i find that the woody flavors of cinnamon and vanilla (even rose) can play well on the palate with a small flavor of clean, high quality cannabis. i never cook with bud, only with trim leaf. i enjoy eating a full range of food from the simple, clean, fat carriers i make for myself. from coffee creamer, to medicated cheese slices and caramels like your great grandma used to make, i find eating cannabis to be healthful, and pleasant.
I recently had a pesto and pasta dish that was wonderful, and plenty enough medicine to keep me pain free until bedtime. Can't wait to try the spaghetti and meat balls. The pesto sauce is also great on homemade pesto pizza!
Well,it definitely tastes good smoked!Why else would there be more than a thousand strains?There arent a thousand different hihgs after all
Cannabis has an exotic taste and smell. It's just amazing that way. Is it delicious? Not sure. It sure adds a sort of panache. The prohibitionists are getting desparate. Laura Duffy will soon have a new communique as to why cannabis should continue to be banned: "normal people just don't like the taste and find it scary and disruptive of their duties." But, de gustibus non disputandum est. (Bonus points to whomever can name the PKD novel that invokes that wise maxim). . .
Steve, I am with you. It CAN be done deliciously. A little Cannabis infused Olive Oil hardly leaves any taste in any foods by my experience. My husband is an award winning chef whose passion is unique medibles... he has made medicated Ice Cream that tastes like cool whip and a hummus that was hands down the tastiest hummus I have EVER tried.If you're ever in Portland, you have a friend & a meal.
Cannabis powder gives a nice earthy taste when mixed in mashed potatoes. It can be put into pancake mix and not tasted, tomato sauces without detection and brownies too that taste just like the uncannbisized (coin that!!!) ones. Hell cannabis goes with anything and every thing in moderation.
The Ancient Aryans (the real ones, not the neo ones) used cannabis in their culture and they are the Fathers of our Indo-European languages and many cultural ideals in the arts and sciences. Not like our uncivilized, divided, hysteria stricken culture today.
