Legalization of cannbis plant (Prop 19) in California
Comments (20)Hemp produces cloth that is finer and stronger than cotton and makes paper finer, stronger and longer lasting than wood pulp paper. The Declaration of Independence is written on hemp paper. Not to mention it grows faster than trees so trees can be saved for lumber production. Help seeds are high in protein and Omega 3s and can be pressed for biofuel. In fact the first diesel engine was designed to run on vegetable oil including hemp oil. The stalk can be used for cellulose. The tomato analogy is apt. Marijuana was criminalized in order to eliminate an excellent natural product so that synthetics like rayon for ropes and diesel synthetics could make their producers rich. When it was discovered that rayon ropes stretched in seawater, the cultivation of hemp was hastily re-introduced and even forced during WWII, then re-criminalized afterwards. This prohibition was overturned as unconstitutional in 1970 then re-criminalized by Nixon to get all those Vietnam war protesters off his lawn. It continues to be effective in identifying and destroying the lives of young persons who are less than obedient. Although some do get away with it. We've all seen the photo of Arnold smoking. As far as cannabis now being stronger, it is a plant, so it can be bred to be weaker, too, or more anesthetizing for pain relief, or more cerebral for artists and musicians. Even law enforcement is against prohibition. Funnily enough, a side use of the initial 1937 law was to drive out Mexicans competing for American jobs. Now it is not only illegal to enforce federal or state immigration laws against Mexicans, but they are actually getting rich and murdering with impunity all along the border towns, BECAUSE marijuana is not legal. So they turned prohibition to their benefit....See MoreTalk about cooking-related gift ideas?
Comments (25)Some of the best cooking gifts I've gotten have been coffee table cookbooks. The kind with art book quality paper and photography, but really good recipes for out of the ordinary things as well. One was Plenty by Ottolenghi and whatshisname. Another is Aromas of Aleppo by Poopa Dweck, a lovely lady with a name that doesn't transliterate well in American. :) I also received a Breville Multicooker as a gift. It took me half a year to even figure out where to start with it because I so didn't need it, but I'm very fond of it now. It's like an Instant Pot. A thought that counts gift was the meat slicer that was meant for meats at a sandwich counter, was not up to slicing cheese (per instructions), was huge, too heavy for me who thinks nothing of lifting the KA mixer, and dangerous to clean without protective gear. Really thoughtful, but it went back to the store. Some TV chef had pooh-poohed home models, so the giver just went light industrial rather than choosing something else. ;)...See MoreWhat is Cooking in Your Kitchen in July?
Comments (45)Cold dinner tonight. I made a large salad and diced a previously cooked pork chop and an egg for the top. That doesn't mean I didn't cook today. I heated up the kitchen by decarboxylating 8 cups of cannabis, then simmering it for several hours in coconut oil to make a large batch of balm for my hubby. It really does help with the back pain....See MoreBrownies: then and now (cannabis, of course)
Comments (15)Hi Louise - If I am making cannabutter in the crock pot I do grind it finely in a coffee grinder first, put 1 oz. into a mason jar and decarboxylate in the oven for ~1 hour at 220F. Melt 2 lbs. unsalted butter in a crock pot on low, add cannabis and cook for 3-4 hours stirring every 30 minutes. Then I put a layer of cheese cloth into a fine metal mesh strainer and pour the butter through that. You will probably end up with a little over 1.5 lbs if you get every drop you can. Then I spoon it into ice cube trays and put it in fridge until solidified....See Morefawnridge (Ricky)
