The Best Part of Waking Up is THC in my Cup

My morning routine always includes a cup of coffee. And it’s even better with a little THC in it! Want to join me in a Cannabis Infused Coffee? Well here’s step by step how to make your own:

Cannabis Infused Coffee (oh and cereal too)

The simplest way to infuse your coffee

And when I say coffee I mean cafe con leche. Which is espresso made in a percolator:

Followed by adding heated, on the stove not the microwave, milk and sugar too it. Anything else is not coffee by my standards. And if you’ve never tried it, you’re welcome in advance.

Back to the Infusion

The simplest way to infuse your coffee is to add cannabis milk to it. Which you can also add to your cereal or whatever else you add milk to like milkshakes! Best part? It it so simple to make too!

Making cannabis infused milk is very similar to making cannabutter. You’re going to need:

1 cup of milk. (You can use which every milk you like but keep in mind that THC binds to fat, so whole milk will create the strongest infused milk. )
2 -3 grams of your favorite ganja
saucepan
container to pour your milk into and later refrigerate

Instructions

Decarboxylate the bud by grinding it, putting it on a parchment paper and then in the oven at 220 degrees for 30 minutes to pull out the terpenes and activate the THC.
On the stove top heat your milk in the saucepan at on a low flame. Do not allow it to boil.
Add the ground decarboxylated cannabis to the heating milk.
Let the two cook together, uncovered on the stove for at least 30 minutes. Stirring every now and then to prevent from boiling, burning on the bottom and stopping the milk from forming a skin on top. If a skin does form stirring will remove it.
Remove from heat and let it cool with the cannabis still in the milk. While it cools it will still infuse, so it doesn’t hurt.
Once cool strain through a strainer or cheesecloth into the container you’re planning to store the milk in.
Finally refrigerate.

The milk taste great in coffee and cereal. And if you happen to be lactose intolerant or only like black coffee you could always add a tincture to your coffee to get the same effect.

Hope you enjoy! Let me know how it goes when you try it out in the comments below!

Wake Bake and Brunch with CannaBrunch Burgers

Back when I first made cannabutter last year it occurred to me that anything can be make into an edible. After all these years of having my free spirit killed by domestication, now I wake up everyday and start breakfast. Last year, the day after making my first batch of cannabutter actually, I woke up to make some eggs but I didn’t have any real butter just cannabutter, so I thought to myself, “what the hell,” and just fried up some eggs in the cannabutter. To realize later that those eggs had us laid out on the couch watching TV all day seriously baked. And so since then, this has turned into a thing. Saturdays now, when there’s time to couchgate all day, are for Waking, Baking (with the morning smoke sesh) and Brunching! And in my house this CannaBrunch Burger is a fan favorite:

Cannabis Infused Sangria

Nothing says summer like a fruity, refreshing Sangria! And since alcohol can increase the impact of THC by up to 50%. Along with the combination of the terpenes in both the grapes used to make the wine and the cannabinoids in your finest ganja taste delicious! This cannabis infused sangria recipe is sure to be a crowd pleaser. So lets get started:
Read More

This is a simple to follow recipe and you’re only going to need a few things.

Ingredients:

1/8 grams of your finest weed (You could use more if you want. I came up with an 1/8 because I figured I can smoke an 1/8 by myself and drink a bottle of wine by myself so it seemed to be the right amount for me personally)
1 bottle of red wine (I used a Cabernet Sauvignon, my favorite, which ever wine you choose make sure it’s a dry red, not a sweet red)
10 pineapple chunks about a 1/2inch by a 1/2 inch cubed
1 orange sliced up thin
10 strawberries hulled and diced
14-20 green grapes cut in half
1 large pot or saucepan
Cheesecloth and/or strainer (I use both)
A pitcher
Ice

Once you’ve completed your prep the next part is called fortifying/infusing the wine. In theory Sangria is a fruit infused wine. But we are taking one step further by adding herb to it. Similar to what they have done since biblical times in making mulled wine. In case you don’t know the difference between mulled wine and sangria is that you serve sangria cold, that’s it.

Instructions:

Pour the wine into the pot and place it on the stove.
Add cannabis and half the above listed fruit, of coarse you can use different fruit if you’d like. However this recipe will bring out and enhance several elements of both the wine and the cannabis. It is a fact that vitamin C and citrus add to the entourage effect.
Boil the mixture at a low flame for about two hours, checking frequently to make sure it’s not all evaporating. The process of boiling everything together will decarboxylate the cannabis.
Strain the wine from the fruit and cannabis through a cheesecloth and/or strainer. See I put the cheesecloth in the strainer but you really don’t have to use both.
Let the wine cool off.
Fill a pitcher with remaining fruit and ice.
And finally pour the infused wine you just created into your fruit and ice filled pitcher.

Warning: The results may be stronger than you expected, so take it slow and of coarse enjoy!

FYI: Don’t forget to eat the fruit at the the end either. Little fact about me, I got drunk for the 1st time when I was around 4 or 5 years old at a New Years eve party because my very young mother didn’t know that the fruit absorbs the liquor and I was eating everybody’s cocktail cherries in their drinks. So eat the fruit it’s an edible on its own. (I still love cocktail cherries by the way)

Hope you liked my cannabis infused sangria recipe and as always stay lit!

Hempire Tips and Tricks

Have you started playing Hempire yet? Well if you have or haven’t I got some tips and tricks for you. Like a breeding cheat sheet, your best approach from the start and some how to’s and work arounds.
Read More

From the Beginning

When you first start you come into town and your friends and family are so glad that your back and doing the same thing you did before, growing weed! Except this time it’s legal!

You have a basic set up, two strains of cannabis Afghani first and Skunk soon after. A grow room, a warehouse for your buds and a shed for other things like supplies such as lights, paint, and all sorts of things your going to need to upgrade and build your Hempire.

The Priorities/Tips and Tricks

Aside from of course completing your quest which all entail selling and growing weed. The number one problem your going to face is storage so listen up:

If your warehouse is full don’t trash anything just go breed in the lab, sell to weed on wheels, visit grandmas, the bakery, or somewhere to use the resources until you open your dispensary.
When the shed is full build something and/or buy new property.
Upgrade your warehouse and shed as often as possible. To upgrade you need specific items. Say you need a watering can for example. When you hold your finger over the item you need, it will tell you where to find it. Like watering cans can be found in garbage bins. While you get jars from completing deals with the Duke of Herb. Licenses to operate or renovate you get from the Mayors Aide and so on.
Upgrade grandmas house asap. She’s your cannabutter (which you make with Afghani buds), marshmellow (with Northern lights that you create by breeding Afghani and Skunk together), cannaflour (with Skunk) and once you hit level 21 chocolate (Northern lights and Afghani) connect. And since you need bud to produce all these treats she a great option for when your warehouse is full. Just give her the bud and put her to work.
Open the bakery. Here you’ll need grandmas butter and some Skunk for cookies. Her canna flour and Chemdawg (which you create by breeding Northern Lights and Skunk together) for dank donuts and Afghani and flour for pot pies. Then at level 22 her chocolate and Hindu Kush (a cross between Northern lights and Chemdawg) for brownies. And tjis bakery is just another great way to free up space in your warehouse.
And the best way to get rid of extra product aside from selling to customers or weed on wheels is when you open the dispensary.
Next you need to build the oil factory. Here’s where you’ll make kief and at level 25 cannabis oil.
Build that Cannabis Factory which you can’t build until you reach level 18. And here is where you’ll get to make hash and wax.

What you don’t want to do it waste all your diamonds to speed things up. Just be patient. The second challenge is breeding:

Breeding Cheat Sheet:

Afghani + Skunk No 1 = Northern Lights
Northern Lights + Chemdawg = Hindu Kush
Northern Lights + Skunk No 1 = Chemdawg
Hindu Kush + Chemdawg = Sour Diesel
Hindu Kush + Sour Diesel = Haze
Haze + Sour Diesel = G13 Haze
G13 Haze + Chemdawg = Jack Herer

Breeding isn’t all about creating new strains either. You need to breed to strengthen your strains. When is comes to increasing your strains potency, aroma and pain relieve you need to understand that you only strengthen the mother with a strong father.

In Conclusion

The game is fun and very addictive. It’s a great way to feel what it’s like to live in a legal state. You see what I’ve been saying, that there are still rules to this, legal or not because your going to have several police encounters as you play. And you learn about the medicinal purposes of each strain too. Such as patients turn to Afghani , the potent indica to treat insomnia, pain and stress. While Sour Diesel is a sativa used to fade away depression to long-lasting relief. Some really interesting stuff in this game and it’s great to play at the beach, at home and even while enjoying some weed yourself too!

Weed and Popcorn

It’s July! And even though I haven’t been in school for years now, summer still makes me think of summer vacation. Aside from going out and enjoying the nice weather, which I highly recommend. It’s also fun to stay out of the heat, chill, smoke and stay up late binge watching TV! Here are my top shows, movies and munchies for these long summer nights:

Cartoons

First things first, cartoons are the best! Right? And no I’m not talking about kiddie cartoons, even though I will still totally sit there and watch Scooby Doo any day. But I’m actually talking about these funny, stoner inuendo filled adult swim type cartoons. Far, far, far away from Beavis and Butthead, being actually smart cartoons. That just happen to be better while smoking on some ganja. Number 1 being:

American Dad :

Where everyone from the hard core Republican CIA dad Stan:

To Mom, Francine, homemaker de jour:

Daughter/activist Hailey and their pet alien Rodger:

Can all relate to having some heavy smoke sessions and the enviable pothead munchies.

I can literally watch this cartoon a billion times and never get tried of it and with that said on to the TV show you’ll never get tired of…

TV Shows

When there’s not a thing to do but hang out down the street and talk with your besties. You better be watching:

That 70s Show

Because people get so high in this 70s based world with daily smoking circles:

That even the infamous Tommy Chong tries to light candy canes for Christmas:

And in the midst of love triangles, high school prank wars and awkward growing pains your sure to laugh your ass off:

Martha and Snoops Potluck Dinner

And if you really want to laugh Martha and Snoops Potluck Dinner airing again Aug. 1st on VH1 is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Edibles, Martha Stewart quality munchies and guests like Post Malone, Rick Ross and so many more….a must watch for sure:

They say laughter is good for the soul. Which leads me to a teddy bear that actually came to life..

Movies

And he’s not just a living, breathing soul having teddy bear. But he uses those lungs to life his best life and enjoy plenty of bong rips!

Ted

Which first came out in 2012, where co-star Mark Wahlberg, living the dream with his pot smoking teddy bear has to make some big choices. Followed by the sequel Ted 2 which came out short after in 2015 where Ted and his lawyers have to fight the system to legalize Ted as a real person. Kinda like how we’re all fighting to legalize cannabis. (Ted compares himself to Kunta Kinte rather than weed in this legalization scenario, but I’m think I’m more accurate with my comparison)

These two movies need to be on every stoners must watch list! Followed by:

Sausage Party

Which I’m pretty sure they were high while making this movie! With writers like Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, they must have been. The movie came out in 2016 and it’s hilarious! About some food that definitely won’t give you the munchies since the movie is about how they come to the realization they are all going to get eaten, portraying us (humans) as straight up monsters. Definitely not a kids movie with some strong sexuality but for sure a great one to watch baked.

Munchies

And finally while your sitting there binge watching this great line up of my top 3 stoner TV guide for July you’ll most definitely enjoy them better with my own creation Canna Lovers popcorn.

The worlds easiest edible to make. Salty, buttery deliciousness that is the perfect pairing, being cannabis infused, for a long night and long smoke sessions. Full directions available here: Canna Lovers Popcorn.

I hope you enjoyed this article and if you disagree with any of my top 3 stoner TV guide for July or think I left an important one out let me know in the comments below!

As always stay lit and I hope your enjoying your summer!

For the Love of Weed

Whether it’s poolside, camped out by an exotic new beach in the Caribbean, or just grilling outside my own house I will be representin’ this summer and so should you! The more we rep our cannabis activist, supporter, user, and lover brand the more we normalize marijuana and the better our chance for legalization! Yes, we are telling on ourselves a bit, but who cares? It’s just weed.

Here are some my favorite weed lover accessories this year:
Read More

Cannabis Leaf Float

Nothing says Free the Leaf more than an actual weed leaf floating in the pool. Just love this float so much actually! Last year, I was chasing my giant swan float up and down the beach all day. That mofo just doesn’t understand the “sit” command. And getting on…forget about it. I swallowed way to much water falling off of that swan. But this year I’ll be sitting pretty in my marijuana leaf doughnut/tire style float. My favorite cause all you have to do it stick your butt in and you’re good to go. I picked up mine from Urban Outfitters for $50 bucks. (only available online)

Another less expense option on the floats that I saw while searching was this one in the link for under $30 with free shipping at Amazon. But since it’s more of a raft I don’t really like it, can already see myself sliding off but to each his own and maybe it’s perfect for you.

Cannabis Leaf Nail Charms and Chokers

Much less out there than the in your face float, these nails charms still scream, “I’m a stoner.” And totally reps our cannabis activist goals! The chokers are super sexy too:

All from Bong Beauties. Where you can also find a ton of really cute apparel like weed leaf leggings, body suits and t-shirts. I know for a fact everybody loves it when I rock my nail charms on the gram but no apparel real compares to these..

Kush Aviators

From Spencers and at $12.99 I can’t think of a better way to catch some rays this summer. Well except for grilling out with a:

Marijuana Leaf Apron

Cause it’s not really a BBQ if there’s no weed right? So instead of rocking some food, fake abs or a dumb ass quote such as, “May the Fork be with You,” on your apron. Let’s grill and tell em’ what we’re really on. Which is relaxing with Mary Jane and grilling out in preparation for the munchies to come. Highly (literally) recommend you order this from Amazon sooner than later because it’s an import so it takes a few weeks to deliver.

There are truly so many cute and fun ways to be representin’ if I missed any good ones let me know in the comments below. Hope you all have a litty summer and don’t forget to subscribe , follow and retweet so you and your stoner fam stay up to date on all my shenanigans.

Free your Mind One Puff at a Time

Do you ever notice the littlest things when your high? Yesterday I saw my first butterfly of the year and if I wasn’t smoking I probably wouldn’t have seen it. It was sitting on the building next door and was of similar color. It got me thinking, what do butterflies do all day? You know besides fly and sit on things…I don’t know but I do know it’s very relaxing to smoke and watch the world around us. With the weather being nice now and summer coming soon I invite you to get outside and free your mind one puff at a time.

As for where, when and how? I’ve got a few suggestions :

Hiking

And when I say hiking I do mean walking around and smoking a lot of weed in the woods. When hiking however one must come prepared. Have all your blunts or joints pre-rolled before you get there. Or at least before you get out the car because it can be windy and there is no greater cannabis crime than losing your weed. Bring snacks, sandwiches, water and bug spray. You don’t want to be 2 hours away from civilization with no food when the munchies kick in. And you didn’t hear it here but get off the trails. I know, I know, they say you can’t, your not suppose to…blah blah blahh…get off the trails, just watch out for poison ivy. One of my favorite kick it spots involves jumping a fence hiking about a mile in from there to the top of this waterfall. And when I sit there and smoke with the sound of the water, the view that makes you feel like your on top of the world…that’s when you realize that it’s these little moments that we live for.

Jet Ski/Kayak/Boating

Water is just one of those things I love and combining it with my other love, Mary Jane, well that’s the best! Here’s the trick to this. In a boat or jet ski you’ll have a water tight stash spot somewhere by the steering wheel/handle usually.

In a kayak you won’t but either way I highly recommend putting your pre-rolled blunts/joints in a ziplock baggie. Then if you have the stash, put it in there too and if not just secure it in a pocket or in my case the inside lining of my bikini top. You don’t want your weed to get wet. Then get out there. Make some waves, circle around and hit those same waves you made. Trust me it is so fun! Then cut the engine. Just sit out there like a buoy and spark up. Your probably thinking why not just smoke on the beach? Well I’m not saying don’t do that too. But try this out, I’m not sure why but when you smoke on the water and you are swaying with the waves it feels like you’re on air.

Drive-In

There aren’t many left out there but they are out there. There is only one in my area. To find one in your area check out this directory where you can search by state: Drive in Movies.

So picture it. You and your significant other sitting in the car in the dark. The windows are tinted and you have some dank ass herb while watching a horror or two? What do you thinks gonna happen?

Truly it feels like you’re in a movie watching a movie hot boxing to the max. You can go in your PJ’s if you want. They sell the munchies right there or you can bring your own. I’m not sure if all drive-ins do it but mines shows two movies. It’s a private setting for the most part. They are always located in very dark areas so you can see the stars on the screen and in the sky. And maybe you get a little lucky too (if you know what I mean).

And last but not least…

Camping

There is no better why to connect with nature than going out to the middle of no where, lighting a campfire and smoking some ganja. Being off the grind, with no cell service, no neighbors, nothing except nature and all of it’s beauty is a perfect setting to inhale nature’s medicine, clear your mind and free your soul.

Lead by Example: Healthy Smoking Habits for the Kids

The question isn’t will my kids smoke weed, it’s when and how? Because we all know it’s inevitable. My hope however is that the new generation strictly vapes. Because vaping is healthier. And we want the best for our kids don’t we?
