Try baking your bacon to get baked

There are so many edibles out there these days. It wasn’t that long ago that ganja brownies had actual chunks of weed in them.

They were always awful and rarely had any psychoactive effects.

The best way to make any marijuana infused edible is to remember two things: The first is use your own infused butter or oil; more on that in a moment. The second is to use a recipe that you are comfortable with using.

I personally prefer anything Martha Stewart does, and I can vouch for those recipes’ effectiveness with ganja oil. On the other hand, if you have a recipe that’s been passed down from one generation to another, you might appreciate your treat a little more.

Once you have a recipe, you can start thinking about the butter or oil you are going to use. Since THC is fat-soluble I like to use coconut oil. I’ve also used Tillamook unsalted butter, vegetable oil and canola oil. Each have their strengths and weaknesses.

Now the fun begins. Infusing weed into the fat isn’t difficult at all. The better the quality bud, the better the quality of the baked good. First, I grind up about an ounce of kind bud (that would be “great” bud), then put it into equal parts 16 ounces of oil and 16 ounces of water. That mix goes on the stove for two to three hours on low. Now strain out the ground up buds, and put the oil and water mix into the refrigerator to separate.

Soon you’ll have your own stash of ganja oil or butter to use in any recipe that you want to kick up a notch.

Here are three recipes to try for any degree of pot-smoker, arranged in difficulty.

Easy:

What You’ll Need:

Graham crackers

Peanut butter (Nutella works too, try to get natural peanut butter since it works better, but the artificial kind works also)

Weed- just good old bud, no oils or tinctures needed, you’ll need about 1 gram to get properly baked.

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. Grind up your weed, the finer it is ground the better it will work. Mix it in with your peanut butter, spread it on the crackers and stick into the oven for twenty minutes. You might want to set these on some tin foil, because the peanut butter tends to ooze out while it’s cooking.

Medium: Bacon

What You’ll Need:

1 tbsp cannabis flour

12 strips thick-sliced Canadian bacon

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F and place the bacon well spaced on a cookie sheet. Take your flour and shake it over the bacon. You can be as stingy or as generous as you want but for stronger effects, add a good amount of flour to each strip. Place the strips in the oven on the sheet and cook them until the bacon starts to crisp on top. Take the sheet out halfway through and flip the strips over and finish cooking.

If you’re planning on storing the bacon, just stick it in the fridge for a short while. Then, you’re ready to enjoy your medicated canna-bacon!

Hard: Lollipops

What You’ll Need:

1/4 cup canna butter

1/2 cup light corn syrup

3/4 cup sugar

And a few drops of food coloring

Lollipop sticks

Lightly greased cookie sheet

1 quart pan and candy thermometer

Add butter, syrup and sugar together in 1 quart sauce pan. Boil ingredients to 270 degrees F. Check temp with candy thermometer.

At 270, add food coloring and turn down heat. Lay out lollipop sticks on greased cookie sheet, leaving room to pour suckers onto them. Make the suckers as big or small as you want. Be careful about the mix that is boiling – it hardens fast.
