Islamorada by Grow Healthy
I chose Islamorada strictly because of the name. My dad was stationed in the Keys in the Navy, my brother was born there, & I grew up going to Key Largo every weekend. The Keys are dear to my heart, so why wouldn't I want to try a heavy indica honoring this beloved place?? Choosing cannabis based on the name of the strain doesn't always go well, but this was a happy exception.
Infused Fall Spice Snickerdoodles (turned Whoopie Pies)
A childhood classic elevated with cannabutter to make Aunt Karen's complaining sound like a distant babbling brook this holiday season. Eat the cookies on their own, or make decedent buttercream Whoopie Pies, because....why not!? Treat yourself this holiday season, it's been a year.
Infused Garlic Mayo using Binske’s Oil
Can you think of anything better than a BLT smothered with infused garlic mayo?! I've been craving a BLT for a while now & I'm always looking for fun, easy ways to elevate & incorporate cannabis into my meals (I find edibles help my Crohn's the most).
How to Make Infused Jam with Kief
Kief is a very quick and easy way to cook with cannabis. Kief is the trichomes, or resign glands, that develop on the flower buds & sugar leaves of cannabis. You'll hear me refer to it on buds as the "frosty goodness". The trichomes are what contain all of the cannabinoids, terpenes & flavonoids that make each cannabis strain potent, unique & effective.
Cannabutter in the Crock Pot
I value my cannabutter so much that I wanted to curate the perfect video sharing how to make it, but perfection take time & why should you have to wait!? I find this method to be effective & easiest for me. Fancy video to come…
Decarboxylation
What is decarboxlation? It's only the first and most important step in any DIY cannabis concoction if you want that psychoactive, euphoric effect. It's so paramount, I wanted it to stand alone as it's own post. Decarboxylation is the process that activates the compounds in cannabis. Without this step, ingesting cannabis will NOT get you high.
Storz & Bickel Crafty+ Review – Dry Flower Vape
During this pandemic (& really always), doctors suggest we stop or limit combustion. We have to keep our lungs as healthy as possible! If you are a joint lover like me, this is easier said than done. Enter: the dry flower vaporizer. While a dry flower vape is still inhalation, it is much safer for your lungs because you can control the temperature to which the plant material is heated. Instead of 900 degrees, dry flower vapes use convection or conduction to heat your flower to lower temps. There are a lot of options out there, all with their own pros & cons (see my previous post for 8 of the most recommended). I went with the Crafty+ from Storz + Bickel. The video goes more into detail, but here are the highlights.
THC Tolerance and What are T-Breaks
In this video, I talk about tolerance breaks, suggestions for people with a high THC tolerance, and suggestions for those with a low THC tolerance.
CBD 101 – Everything You Need to Know
In this video, I cover: What is CBD, how does it interact with our bodies, how it might benefit you, the types of CBD on the market, and what to look for when choosing CBD products. I also talk about CBD and drug tests, important information for first responders.
