Cooking With Pot (cannibutter / hash_)

Why would you want to cook with weed? Well, there are a couple of reasons that come to mind:

1) Different high. Eating weed produces a different high than smoking weed does. Some describe it as “deeper” or as having more of a body sensation.

2) Sore throat. When you throat is feeling a little scratchy or flat out raw, you may not feel like smoking weed to get high.

3) Smell. If you are afraid that someone will smell pot on your breath or on your clothes, eating pot offers a valuable alternative.

4) Taste. This may be a shock to you, but some people don’t enjoy the taste of weed when smoked. If you are one of these people, you can see how eating the weed in a sweet food will help to mask the taste and still get you high.

Don’t expect to get high right away when eating pot in food. The high usually takes 40-60 minutes to fully “creep” up on you. Also, if you consume a lot, don’t expect to do much the rest of the day. Eating pot can really burn you out.
