Twirling Hippy Confections owner Jessica LeRoux says a Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division inspector with the state has been telling shops that her packaging doesn’t meet state regulations, writing up at least one for a violation.

The word “migraine” is one of the most frequently searched terms here at EdibleMJ — and if you suffer from migraines then you already know why. Debilitating and demoralizing, migraines can instantly turn an awesome day into an awful day. There is hope, however: with a proper cannadiet and a little science, you can help prevent migraines before they have a chance to develop.
Steve Elliott (from Toke of the Town fame) posted his Top 5 Marijuana Medibles list in his Seattle Weekly blog. It’s a little generic but still worth a look for a few fresh ideas. He writes: “There’s been an incredible flowering of creativity on the cannabis medibles scene. Almost every time I visit a dispensary or a farmers market, I find at least one medicated edible I’ve never seen before. From sweets like brownies, cookies, and cake pops to salty snacks like Chex mix to healthy options like granola bars to cannabis drinkables and sodas, it’s an exciting scene to witness. Here are five of the tastiest, most unique, and lest we forget, the most potent edibles available in the THC-attle area.”

This is a very complicated question. The strength of an edible depends on a great many variables: the recipe and what you are making, the strength/quality of the cannabis used, which part of the plant you are using, the amount of plant material used, method(s) of extraction, the recipes and its portion size, etc. Obviously this leaves room for lots of variation among these elements, so as you can probably guess there is no easy scale for potency when it comes to cannacooking. So how do you figure out how to dose your medical marijuana edibles? We decided to do some science and find out.
“I have had severe migraines for three decades along with daily headaches that would be a migraine to most people,” writes Shauna Osborn of Chico. ”When I was young I had melanoma in my eye, optic nerve and brain tissue, which they removed all three. Since that time I have been on a doctor rollercoaster. I have been to headache clinics, therapy, trials, you name it. I’ve tried recommended diets, natural alternatives and every medication they could think of including migraine [medication], antidepressants, high blood pressure, anti nausea, etc.”

Apple cider is not only useful for cooking but cold cider is also delicious by itself on a hot summer day. This recipe calls for hard apple cider but don’t worry — alcohol-free cider works just as well! Make sure you are using the highest quality (best filtered/most powdery) keif or hash you can get your hands on and prepare for blast-off!
Edible marijuana survived a challenge in Colorado on Tuesday when a state lawmaker withdrew her proposal to ban pot-infused products in favor of optional child-proof packaging standards.
The House Judiciary approved the bill 7-3 after it was changed to allow, but not require, state regulators to call for tamper-proof packaging. No edible products were banned.
Someone should teach these guys how to cook!
For those who missed the memo last week, July 29 was apparently Eat Marijuana While Getting Arrested Day.
Two men - one in North Carolina and one in Arizona - were arrested on Thursday for pot possession and both tried to eat the evidence.
The only difference? The guy in Arizona happened to be former NBA player Samaki Walker, who was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the No. 9 pick in the 1996 NBA Draft (before Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash).

If you are reading this then you are obviously already curious about marijuana edibles — definitely a great start! But where from here? Chances are you’ve been smoking or vaporizing for a while. Maybe you haven’t gotten around to making delicious edible marijuana treats because of how complicated and time consuming people make cooking with cannabis out to be. Maybe you’ve tried looking up marijuana recipes in the past only to became confused or by all the conflicting information. We’re here to arm you with the latest and greatest of proven methods for making cannabis and, more importantly, teach you how to be an awesome cannachef. When everything is said and done, a great chef is part artist and part chemist — and a great cannachef is no different.
If you’ve never consumed cannabis before, you might be curious as to how the high is different when compared to smoking or vaporizing. Most people describe it as a “heavier” or “deeper” high — slow to kick in, slow to wear off, and affecting the body way more than the head. Honestly, though, everyone is different and there is only one way to really understand the difference between smoking and eating: try both yourself (just read this article first).
If you’ve grown up in the United States you may be pretty surprised to find out that the use of marijuana has quite a long and illustrious history when it comes to edibles. Many anti-marijuana “activists” in the US might have you believe that cannabis-use — especially when it comes to things like “pot brownies” and “weed cookies” — is a vice limited to hippies, deadbeats or liberal-arts college kids; yet some of the world’s oldest — and some would argue most successful — cultures have a rich history filled with smoking and cooking cannabis for both medicinal and recreational use. Cannacooking is certainly nothing new.
