I’ve been writing fewer articles lately, and one of the reasons is that some time ago I started to judge myself more (yeah, I know…I probably need more cannabis!), so now I tend to write longer and more heavily edited articles. So this is my attempt to break that habit. Last year (wow, is it […]

Product Review: LEVO Oil Infuser
The LEVO oil infuser is a new product that’s elegant, quiet, and lets you infuse cannabis or other herbs into any vegetable oil or melted butter (and even alcohol if you set the temperature appropriately) for culinary purposes. Even though it lets you take complete control of all the time and temperature settings for your […]
In The Freezer, And What Felicity Found There
So Felicity was rummaging through our freezer, and among some ancient burger buns and frozen cilantro, she uncovered a forgotten container with 3/4 pound of cannabutter, dated January 2014. That makes it just about 3 1/2 years old. We’ve been performing metabolic testing on the contents for over a week now, and it seems to […]
Product Review: tCheck Cannabis Oil Potency Tester
We have been making our own infused butter and oils – and teaching other people how to make, use, and dose themselves – for well over six years now. We’ve even come up with a formula to calculate how much THC is theoretically in your homemade oil, but there’s never been a reasonably affordable way […]
How To Make and Use Cannabis-Infused Butter and Oil
You can buy cannabutter (cannabis cooked into butter) or oils infused with cannabis at a dispensary. Or you can make your own. These edibles can have a “greenish” or slightly bitter taste due to the chlorophyll and terpenes present in the plant matter (this can be almost completely removed by water curing). How To Decarb […]

Here’s what I used to make my first pound of cannabutter with the Magical Butter Machine: 14 grams of mixed marijuana buds 4 sticks of butter 2 tablespoons of soy lecithin […]
Magical Butter Machine MB2 Product Review
What would you say to a microprocessor-controlled, high quality appliance that claimed it could make top quality cannabis-infused butter, edible oil, and tincture in a fraction of the time of normal methods? After you got finished rolling your eyes, you’d probably roll a joint, smoke it, and think about how great it would actually be if such […]
Eat Like a Hippie with Pot Peace Pasta (Easy Edibles Recipe)
This article actually started a few months ago. Felicity and I were doing some food shopping, and as per usual on shopping trips, I was a little high (makes it a lot more interesting). If I remember correctly, we were bouncing around Whole Foods, where we go occasionally for special treats, when I suddenly saw […]
Best Cooking Implement For Medical Marijuana
It’s the Little Dipper by Crock-Pot! Let me tell you what’s so great about these things: They are small and hold only a limited quantity. That may not be great for cooking a big meal, but it’s perfect for processing a small amount of cannabis. It also subtly encourages you to make a reasonable amount […]
The Reluctant Cannabis Patient
So, how did I get started with medical cannabis? I have asthma, PTSD, anxiety, and panic attacks. When Old Hippie and I went to a medical cannabis gathering awhile back, someone there said that smoking cannabis was good for asthma. I almost said bullshit to his face. Smoke, particulates, perfume all hurt my lungs. My […]
