Have fun with your weed

    As a child we were taught to not play with our food and to avoid 'drugs.' But what if I told you playing with your weed is totally acceptable?

    There are so many different things you can do with a nug of your favorite bud. You can make edibles, rosin press your weed or make moon rocks, just to name a few.

    Making edibles may be the most well known way to get creative with your cannabis. You just need to get a box of brownie or cookie mix, make some cannabutter or canna oil and get baked....I mean bake the brownies. There are many recipes for cannabutter but this is the simplest way in my opinion.

    First you need to break apart 7-10 grams of weed, do not grind it. Shakey weed is harder to completely remove from the butter, so larger chunks work best. Next you must decarb the bud by placing it on a parchment paper covered cookie sheet and baking at 245' F for 30-40 minutes. This step is important to make potent edibles. Then melt the 1 cup of butter into 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Once the butter is melted add the cannabis. Simmer on low for 2 to 3 hours, or until all the water has evaporated. Do not boil!!! Strain the butter and bud and pour it into a jar. Now you can refrigerate the butter or use it right away for your edibles. Just use cannabutter in place of normal butter or oil in your baked goods recipe!

    Another interesting thing you can do with your bud is make rosin. Rosin is basically shatter or wax without the use of solvents. To make rosin you use heat and pressure to squeeze the honey from the bud. This is actually a simple method. If you have a hair straightener, then you can make rosin! There are expensive devices made specifically for rosin but it's not necessary. You just put a nug of bud in between parchment paper and squeeze the hair straightener on the nug. You can even use hash or kief to make melted hash oil. This should leave you with a dry nug and some sweet, sticky goodness.

    Probably the coolest way to play with your weed is to make moon rocks! Moon rocks are nugs of weed soaked in THC oil or shatter then rolled in kief. Key the drool. At dispensaries a gram of moon rocks is usually over $35, but you can make them at home for way cheaper. All you need is a few pretty nugs, thc oil, distillate, wax or shatter and some good ol kief. First you need to soak the nug in oil. If you are using wax you can slightly melt it and roll the nug in it. If you are using shatter, you can just wrap the nug in the shatter then melt the shatter all over the nug. Lastly, you roll your twaxed nug in kief and bam you have a super potent, magically delicious moon rock!

    Next time you're bored, play with your weed! Or play with your food. You're an adult so do what you want!
