This was a fun experiment, as it was the first time I’ve ever made my own edible.  The MMJ was in the butter.

Not sure where this recipe originated, but it’s VERY good and I didn’t taste any cannabis..What was really weird is that the cranberries taste like chocolate chips!  These are actually nutritious and I believe the combination of the oats, cranberries and nuts drowns out the flavor of the butter, which can be overwhelming sometimes.

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour

1 ½ cups of steel cut oats

1 ½ cups of light brown sugar

1 cup of granulated sugar

1 cup of Black Out Butter derived from approximately 50 grams of ground trim/flowers in 1 lb of Strauss Organic butter (86% butter fat) slow cooked and frequently stirred for 4 hours

2 eggs

2 cups chopped pecans

1 cup organic currants

1 cup organic dried cranberries

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of baking soda

2-3 tablespoons of Bourbon vanilla

1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon

Directions:

Sift together the dry ingredients (except the steel cut oats) and set aside. Cream the cannabutter and sugars then add the vanilla and mix in the eggs. Don’t overwork the butter and sugar or it will break down. Mix (we used an electric mixer) the set aside dry ingredients into the creamed butter. Mix in the oats with a heavy spoon and blend. Fold in the currants, cranberries, and pecans. Chill the batter (we made two portions and froze them). With the batter still cold roll the dough into balls about golf ball size.

Place the cookie balls on a greased baking pan and bake at 300 degrees for 15-17 minutes.

Hint: The cookies will flatten out and not rise as usual. They will be chewy and crispy at the same time. Keep the cookies in an airtight container (they should stay fresh a month that way).

Options: You may use raisins instead of currants. You may also want to add a teaspoon of lemon zest and/or some allspice or ground cloves.

A few things I learned:  Make SURE the butter is room temperature.  Baking is a chemical science, so if you have cold or melted butter, it will NOT turn out right.  This actually blends very well, and just make sure to mush the cookie down so it’s not a round ball, because it has a tendancy not to cook as much in the middle.  Also, let the cookies cool completely before putting them in a container so they won’t stick.

Honestly?  If you haven’t eaten or don’t have a full stomach, it WILL have an effect.  It was interesting, as I usually don’t feel the effects of edibles, but with these particular cookies, I did, after eating a few.  It’s not a really strong high or anything, really, for me, it makes me tired and sleep really good.  Not sure if it has the same effect on others.

This was right before they were suppose to testify. Is this a coincidence? or is this a warning from the DEA that they can do what ever they want? People it’s time to step up and make yourself heard. Call your congress and council men. Don’t be a sheep stand up for what you believe in!

Tonight is the first of many tv shows from www.medicinalmarijuana.tv  Please get on the internet tonight 7-8pm MST and check it out live. Mahooka is getting a spot so look for Ty.

A possibly + on this item.  I really liked it.  I’ve been poo-poohing Hindi Kush, but I now shut my mouth and stand corrected.  I believe X18 is another name for this Indica plant.

This is really nice, has a great flavor and look to it.  As typical with these strains, it is a dark green, tight buds and has a rather dull sweet/sour smell to it.

This is in the store now and I definitely give it an A, and would definitely purchase it. I wonder if it would be good as an edible?

Effect is immediate, need just 2-3 hits from a water pipe and you are good to go.  Not too crazy in the head or the body, just more of an overall effect.  Tasted a little greenish/pot flavor, not too strong….Lasting a good amount of time, it’s not stupifying or too dulling.  I was able to go for a brisk walk.

From what I’ve read, this Marijuanna is kind of a chameleon, so it fits whatever you are doing.  That’s awesome!

My buddy Tyrone, also owner of the fabulous Mahooka store (shameless plug) did some testing of edibles with cannibas butter and baked products.

First off, I strongly suggest you test making the product (such as brownies, cookies, etc) without the expensive cannibas product, to make sure you like it, and know how to make it.  Tyrone is now ruled out of baking or making edibles.  (shameless unplug).

First off, the cannibas butter tastes pretty strong.  I forget the strength that he had but it isn’t the most pleasant tasting by itself and you need a strong flavored product to masque the pot flavor.

So, Tyrone baked two different items: Cornbread, but it was with jalapinos, and turned out to be really nice and spicy without any flavor of the pot butter.  The color was greenish and actually fitting for it’s taste! I definitely approve of this product and hopefully you will be seeing this product in the Mahooka store soon (not baked by Ty)… 

The second was this truffle brownie with chocolate chips, walnuts and carmel.  I actually   think it would be a perfect combination with the butter. The butter used was a mixture of stronger butter- more cannibas (which I think I might love) and the caramel actually is a good combination with the stronger butter.

I never feel the effects of edibles, and I have to say, this first time, I did.  I believe it was the cookies or brownies.  Actually, these turned out more like bars.  I don’t think it was just the person making it (Ty), but I also think pot butter actually changes the consistancy of whatever you are making, it’s a little drier and heavier.  But then, you could read the instructions and it may turn out differentlly.  HAHA.

The effect on me, and i may have eaten too much (since you have no idea what would be the right amount), it knocked me out.  I went home and fell asleep.  I don’t think that is the effect that happens normally, but the butter is definitely good stuff.

I also think just selling cookie dough is good!

It is always good practice to take cutting from your best stock plants. Or, perhaps your best mothers. On this subject, You can keep mothershere are two ways of continously revoloving your crops with these cuttings. You can keep mothers that are perpetually in a vegetative state i.e. subjected to a lighting cycle of 20 hours a day. These mothers are kept in a seperate room from the main grow with their own lighting and enviromental controls. This is important as you don not want any light pollution interfering with the grow room. These mothers are kept trimmed back and pinched out. Pinching out is the removal of  the center growth tip from the middle of the plant. This is the grow tip that leads to the middle of the plant. Once a grow tip has been pinched out then more grow tips will follow, these should be pinched out also. The pinching out will result in a shorter, stockier and much bushier plant. This, in turn, will produce a plant with many sites that cuttings can be taken from. The more pinched out a mother plant is, the more cuttings she will produce and the more you can take. I advise to never take more than 30% of her cuttings, never strip her bare as this will cause extreme shock and she will not recover. Only take the cuttings needed, and she will happily regenerate in no time.-jt

Pure joy, is what most Hawaiian buds represent. Hawaiian Sativa, this strain comes from Hawaii: however, these buds are grown in Colorado, outdoor in the San Juans, and have made their way to Denver. This delicious Outdoor-grown herb that Mahooka has, holds a peculiar fruity taste and smell. This sativa hybrid holds a tangy and tropical delight with a definite Haze influence, I believe. The high is very giggly and thorough, yet still light. Although the legendary quality of Hawaiian marijuana is due more to the outstanding tropical growing conditions in the islands than the actual strain. Mahooka, has definitley captured the mellow aloha vibe.-jt

This is a shockingly strong indica, found here in Denver. Mahooka has a potent indica this time, so potent, some should not smoke it. After taking three hits, I fully understood the strains name, heroin-juana. The flavour is much appreciated, it is candied and hashy, though not overwelming. The high is what is noteworthy. I have a very high tolerance and it still made me stutter; I was unstable, bumping into things- at times, slightly paranoid. If you are a not a patient, or a lightweight for that matter, do not smoke this. I would estimate this bud at a 25% THC level, a beast of an indica. It is perhaps comparable to G-13, which if you have ever had a proven G-13 bud, this a model. In fact, this indica, I would say is 50% stronger than most of the hash circulating throughout Denver.. A nap is inevitable after smoking this, I’m talking about the kind of nap as to when you wake up, your eyes are still glued shut and you feel like you have a hangover. The lineage is Northern lights crossed with Hash Plant. Recommended for lovemaking, appetite stimulation,  inducing sleep or if you just like knockdown indicas. Don’t make plans if you intend on smoking this.-jt

Mahooka has found this mega-hybrid here in Denver, developed over a period of  fifteen years by taking particulary strong Skunk #1 plants and recrossing it with its Afghani ancestors. If you travel to Amsterdam, this Super Skunk can be found in every coffe shop. Now in Denver, Mahooka has this variety. This is a . This sativa/indica, is easy to grow, very hearty and produces very weighty buds.This plant is extremely sweet tasting, contrary to its name. The Skunk #1  used to make it must have been the typical Amsterdam sweet variety. It’s potency is above average, soaring, yet generic and unfocused. For some unknown reason I rarely see these buds in Denver, but Mahooka has found them. I can’t complain, although not one of my favourite strains, this is very worth trying, as these buds are rarely seen.-JT
