Recipe for Health Conscious CannabutterRecipe for Health Conscious Cannabutter

What To Do

*First, you will need to

finely grind the cannabis

of your choice. If you

*There you have it, your

cannabutter is all ready for use.

You may keep it in the fridge if

you plan on using it very soon

(within the week), or you can

freeze it for prolonged

freshness. When you are ready

to use it, take it out of the

refrigerator and let it sit to

soften, do not put it in the

microwave as high amounts of

heat will kill the THC in the

butter. Now you can make

anything that takes butter and

replace the amount of regular

butter in the recipe for

cannabutter and you will have a

treat you will not forget! Or

will you…

Don’t forget to read up on the

next issues for more delicious

recipes of medicinal treats and

health conscious goodies!

You Will Need1 lb of Sweet Cream Unsalted Organic Butter

35-70 grams of Cannabis of your choice; if you use good quality

cannabis go with 20-35 grams for a high potency, if you are using

trimmings, go with 35-70 grams for high potency.

2 Cups of Water

A Crockpot or Large Pot

A Coffee Grinder

Scissors

Strainer or Cheesecloth

Container for the Butter

choose high quality buds, you may not need to remove the stems since they too are

covered in THC. However, if you choose to use plant trimmings, you have two

choices; you can leave the big stems in or remove them. If you wish to leave the stems

in, go ahead, just make sure you use the scissors to cut them into small pieces. You

will want to cut the leaves into smaller pieces too so you can speed up the grinding

process and fit more leaves in at one time.

*After you grind the cannabis, set it aside and put the 2 cups of water in the crockpot

or pot until it boils.

*When it is boiling, put the butter in there and wait until it melts.

*Now that the butter is melted, put the cannabis in there and set the heat to the lowest

possible. Mix it up well to make sure that there are no clumps or chunks unattended to.

*Leave the cannabutter to cook for 22 hours exactly. Do not overcook or undercook

the butter. This time is required for the separation of the THC molecules into the

butter.

Finished product, frozen in a Ziploc

bag for prolonged freshness.

*Check on it every few hours to make sure that it is not sticking to the bottom

of the crockpot. Just mix it up gently and cover it back up.

*After 22 hours, turn the heat off and leave it to sit for about 5 minutes.

*Please be really careful of the heat on this step! Use long sleeves and/or oven

mitts to protect your arms and hands. Now pour the cannabutter liquid through

a strainer and into a container.*note: specify the container size/ shape for easy

extraction of butter!! Make sure to squeeze through as much liquid as you can

possibly get out of the wet, soggy cannabis plant matter without breaking your

strainer.

*When you have done this, cover your container and set in the fridge for a

few hours to overnight, in order for the water to separate from the

cannabutter.*note: make sure that all the liquid and butter has seperated

*Now, this step may be a bit messy. Put saran wrap or any plastic wrap you

may have (even a cut plastic bag) over the cannabutter container and turn it

over to pour the dark water out of the container.

re you tired of using store bought, allopathic medicines to “cure” your cold or

flu? They are full of side effects, chemicals, preservatives, and will do

anything to your body but heal it. And when you go to the doctor with it, the

most common thing he’ll tell you to do is bed rest and lots of fluids. But

there’s got to be something else I can do!!

First of all, let‘s have a talk on how holistic healing works.

You’ve got to understand the process of holistic healing in

order to fully benefit from it. In holistic or natural care,

disease is a perfectly healthy part of health. It is almost

necessary; it strengthens the immune system and builds upon

it. The immune system is exposed daily to different germs,

bacteria, and viruses. This is a healthy part of life, as we need

to be exposed to those organisms in order for our bodies to

build immunities to them.

A

Ok, now that we know that disease is

a perfectly healthy part of being a

healthy human being, we can look at

it in a different light, perhaps not

This is where natural medicines come into play. They do not contain preservatives,

chemicals, additives, and most important of all; they work holistically, without negatively

affecting any other parts of your body.

There are many factors that may cause disease, the two main being exposure to infected

organisms, and stress (when we are stressed we produce a hormone called cortisol, this

hormone greatly weakens and decreases our immune system‘s ability to fight off disease).

2) Infection1) Exposure

3) Inflammation5) Healing

The Cycle of

Disease/Sickness

trying to completely eliminate it, but to prevent it and/or shorten its duration without

causing further side effects on other parts of our being. The key is to assist our bodies in

fighting the infection, and not to try to suppress the symptoms, as those are important

pointers, they are our body’s way of telling us what is wrong.

Now to “cure” a cold or flu, would be almost impossible since

both are caused by a virus, and we all know that viruses cannot

be killed. When you notice winter coming around, a weather

change, cold breeze, and if you are in a stressful situation or

environment, you should immediately start to take someEchinacea and vitamin C supplements, at least 1000 mg a

day. At your local natural food store, there should be a very

convenient supplement that has both Echinacea and vitamin C. A supplement like this works wonders, and you should

take it for approximately 2 weeks or for the duration of a cold.

Including more zinc in your diet should work wonders as well.

Goldenseal is also very useful for congestion.

Knowing how to prevent a cold can come in

very handy, but including herbs, spices, and

whole foods in your diet is crucial in

maintaining good immune health.

These are especially good for immune health (plus

other benefits):

•Oregano; a pungent spice that aids in immune system function. It

is antibacterial, has potent antioxidant activity, and is very

nutrient rich.

•Turmeric; a spice proven to prevent things such as diabetes and

cancer when included in daily diet. Has great antioxidant activity

and promotes whole body health.

•Ginger; fresh ginger works wonders, not to mention it is delicious!

It is great for nausea, digestive health and immune health. Also

reduces cholesterol, fever, and inflammation.�Garlic; a completely natural antibiotic, works well externally as well as internally. Will greatly

boost the immune system.

�Eucalyptus; a natural antiviral remedy. Great for the flu and cold.

�Honey; especially Manuka honey, it’s expensive, but probably the most medicinal honey you

can find, very antibacterial. Works wonders, it can be used externally on wounds and

internally for things such as heartburn and digestive issues.•Green Tea; full of antioxidants, proven to prevent cancer, better organic

•Acai; often called the tree of life, it offers protection against cancer, and many other

ailments. Aids in cardiovascular health as well as amazing antioxidant power and

phytonutrients. Also great for immune health.

•Chamomile; has amazing antiseptic action, helping the body to get rid of infection. Reduces

fevers and irritability.

•Echinacea and Vitamin C; we talked about this one. Take it through your cold to aid your

immune system in healing the body.

•Onions; garlic-like characteristics as well as cleanses the blood.

The best treatment for a cold or flu really is bed rest, a calm

environment, lots of fluids (soda does NOT count), whole foods, and an

increase in zinc and vitamin C intake.

If you are really congested, place a few drops of essential oil of cinnamon, eucalyptus, or

peppermint in a steaming bowl of water. Place your head over the bowl with a towel acting

as a tent for about 5-10 minutes. This will wonderfully ease your congestion. Another option

is to sit in a warm bath with a few drops of tea tree oil or lavender oil in it. This will help to

relax you as well as bring down a fever if you have one, it will also open up your airways.

Drinking chamomile tea will help ease you to sleep. Drinking

blackcurrant tea will help clear infection and catarrh. To ease

a high fever due to infection and/or inflammation, barley

water is a classic remedy. To soothe aching limbs, drink

arnica tea or fenugreek tea with honey and lemon. You can

also massage chamomile, tea tree, or geranium oil into your

head and chest to lessen your symptoms.

Another way to ease your lungs and help to fight the infection is

to brew a handful of eucalyptus leaves into some tea, add honey, also add the juice freshly

squeezed out of a lemon. This is a wonderful remedy, I used this when I was in the forest and

caught bronchitis, and didn’t have any other medicine available.

Also make sure to always (especially when you‘re sick) include the whole foods mentioned earlier

in your everyday foods, especially garlic and onions as they will help to fight the infection when

you have a cold or flu.

Never forget that we have a fully stocked pharmacy all around us

everywhere on this beautiful earth that was left full of resources. Nature

is our biggest and most effective and reliable pharmacy. Although we

have been destroying rainforests all over the world and along with them

many herbs and plants that could’ve been the cure to even cancer! But

that’s a whole different argument I don’t even want to get started on….

•Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth’s surface. Now they

cover only 6%.

•Since the 1900’s, over 90 Brazilian indigenous tribes have been

destroyed. All their knowledge of rainforest medicinal value

went with them. When a medicine man passes away without

passing on knowledge, it is like a library being destroyed.

•In 40 years, it is expected that most rainforests will be gone.

•More than 20% of the world’s oxygen is produced in the

Amazon. No wonder it is called the “lungs of the world”.

•One of the world’s most potent anticancer drugs, Vincristine, is

extracted from Periwinkle, which is a rainforest plant.

•70% of the 3000 active cancer fighting plants recognized by the

U.S. National Cancer Institute are found in the rainforest.

Be part of the solution not the cause.

So the entire cannabis culture revolves around the saying

“420”. But what does it actually mean? Many people use this

saying on a daily basis and have no idea where it actually

came from.

There are many myths about where and how the term 420

came about;

420 is a police dispatch code, or a penal code number for

the illegal use of marijuana.

FALSE

Nowhere is the number 420 a dispatch code or a penal code

number for marijuana use.

420 is Hitler’s birthday.

FALSE

This is a true fact, 4/20 is Hitler’s birthday, but this is not why

420 is what it is.

420 is the number of chemicals in marijuana.

FALSE

There are actually 315 chemicals in marijuana.

420 is tea time in Amsterdam.

FALSE

Tea time in Amsterdam is actually 5:30.

These are myths and actually very far from where the term

420 originated.

In 1971, in San Rafael High School in California, there was a group of stoner teenagers that was composed of

about twelve kids. They called themselves “The Waldos”. They would meet everyday at 4:20pm in front of the

Louis Pasteur campus statue to get stoned. They started using the term 420 to describe everything related to

pot as a code that the adults didn’t understand. So I bet you’re wondering, how did the term spread so far

beyond San Rafael, California? Well, the Waldos frequently smoked pot with The Grateful Dead, so the band

helped to spread that term beyond San Rafael. Steven Hager, the High Times magazine editor, reviewed all the

evidence submitted by the Waldos (which they did after they noticed that the term spread and became popular

everywhere). They showed him letters that were postmarked from the early 70s that show proof that they

invented the term 420.

So there ya have it! Now you know the meaning of 420! Nice to be an educated stoner, isn’t it?
