A post on Testing It Up served as a reminder that there was more than just one way to use marijuana besides smoking it. This information may have been taboo in the past, but now that the use of medical marijuana has been legalized in some states, it has become a way for people to exercise their creative juices to come up with alternative ways to take advantage of the medical benefits brought about by cannabis.
Ingesting marijuana by using it as an ingredient in meals or baking them into treats bypasses the entry of dangerous chemicals into the respiratory system. When preparing cannabis for eating, carcinogens and tars are left behind.
Those who use marijuana for recreational purposes will have a different experience when they ingest marijuana as opposed to smoking it. A longer, stronger high is achieved when cannabis is ingested. Recreational use of marijuana, however, is not legal in the United States.
In order to make its absorption effective, however, more marijuana should be used in cooking preparation. Thus, it becomes a more expensive way to use marijuana.
Cooking with marijuana bonds THC to butter, lard, oil, or any other fat. This is accomplished by heating the oil and marijuana in order to release the THC, and bind it to lipid molecules. This creates what was termed as “bud butter,” which can then be used as an ingredient in recipes that need butter, especially in baked goods such as pancakes, cookies and brownies.
