Ingredients
3 tablespoons cannabutter
Four fish fillets
Two lemons
Two baby eggplants (halved)
One each red and yellow capsicum (sliced and de-seeded)
Two zucchinis (cut lengthways)
¼-cup olive oil
¼-cup parsley
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper

Preheat grill or pan on medium-high heat. Coat 4 pieces of foil large
enough to enclose fish with 2 tablespoons cannabutter. Place fish in
center of foil. Juice one lemon and sprinkle over fish. Dot each fillet
with teaspoon cannabutter. Slice the other lemon and top on fish.
Wrap in foil. Cook for 7-10 minutes, without turning. Brush vegetables
with oil and cook on grill or in a separate pan over medium heat for 2-3
minutes on each side. Sprinkle vegetables with parsley and Parmesan
cheese. Salt and pepper to taste and enjoy.

I don’t eat fish, but making lemon chicken this way sounds delicious, too.

I was super excited today when I checked my email and found an email from her with three recipes for healthy meals that you can make with marijuana! I personally love being able to eat delicious food and get high from it, instead of hacking out my brains while smoking it, and then getting the munchies and binging out on junk food. I’ve never had anything but magic brownies, cookies, and cereal snacks (which I’ll write the recipes to later), and I’m thinking what could be better than healthy food that gets you high?!

So, for the first recipe, (I’m going to break them into three separate posts) here’s Mediterranean Stoner Cream Cheese Spread!

Ingredients:

8 oz cream cheese (at room temperature)
4 tablespoons cannabutter (softened) [I've got a previous post with a cannabutter recipe.]
One garlic clove (minced)
1-tablespoon parsley
1-teaspoon water
1-teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons white vinegar
Pinch of salt

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, stir together thoroughly, cover and refrigerate over night. Garnish with fresh Mediterranean herbs before serving. Enjoy on crackers or baguettes.

I recently came across an ‘article’ on what’s supposed to be an informational blog about marijuana that really irked me. Instead of simply stating, “No, there is not” and bashing everything, why don’t you take the time to do some research? Passing a drug test while you’re doing drugs isn’t easy, but it is possible, depending on the kind of test.

There are four main types of drug tests: urine, saliva, hair and blood. The most common of these are urine and saliva. I’ve only heard of hair tests being done in the military, and blood tests are usually done in the hospital.

Urinalysis

By law, employers are allowed to require that workers submit to a urine or saliva test to be considered for and/or retain their employment, but the ADA makes it illegal for them to do so without first making a conditional offer of employment.

This is, by far, the most common test. It is also one of the the easiest to pass. You can:

• Chug water to dilute the toxins in your system. Be careful if you choose this method, because a flag will go up if the urine is too diluted and you will either fail or be required to retake the test.
• Load up on poppy seeds! In 1998, the SAMHSA raised the recommended cutoff level used in the NIDA 5 test from 300 ng/mL to 2,000 ng/mL in order to avoid false positives from poppy seeds. You would need to eat an entire loaf of poppy seed bread to for it to register as a false positive, but it can be done. It was even proven on MythBusters when Adam tested positive half an hour after eating a poppy seed cake and Jamie tested positive an hour after eating some poppy seed bagels.
• Substitute the urine sample. If you have a friend that doesn’t do any drugs, ask them to pee in a cup for you. Keep the sample in an airtight, refrigerated container for no longer than two days. After two days, it starts to grow bacteria that can be mistaken for a urinary tract infection. When it’s time to take the test, heat the urine up to 92 – 100° F (33 – 37° C).
• Use synthetic urine. Synthetic urine comes in two forms: liquid and powder. Both are kept in their container with a temperature meter and, like using a friends’ urine, should be submitted to the testing facility at 92 – 100° F (33 – 37° C).

Tips for Taking a Urine Test:

• A lot of testing facilities will have you change into a hospital gown before going into the bathroom. If you’re substituting the urine, either have it tied around the top of your leg or fit snugly in your pocket.
• NIDA 5 is the most common drug test used, and tests for the following drugs: THC, Methamphetamines, Opiates, Crack/Cocaine
• Try to get in and out of the bathroom in under four minutes. Any longer than that, and you start to look suspicious.
• Secondhand smoke will not cause you to fail a drug test.
• Adding bleach to the sample will only change the and flag it as being tampered with, resulting in you failing. Drinking bleach will blind and probably kill you. Just say no! Also, commercial chemicals containing nitrates (Urinaid, THC Free, Klear, Urine Luck, TestKlear, etc.) are all commonly tested for, and will result in a failed drug screen.
• There are tons of different herbal supplements and body cleanser pills and drinks. Some work, some don’t – It depends on the person, really. I’ve known several people to try this method and the outcome was about half and half.

Saliva Screening

Saliva and oral fluid-based tests generally detect drug use up to three days prior to taking the test. These tests are becoming more and more popular due to their convenience, low cost and the ability for the employer to administer the test right on the job site.

When taking this test, the administrator will hand you the collection device and instruct you to put it between your gums and cheek and rub it around a little, before leaving it in place for a full two minutes. Once the two minutes are up, he or she will instruct you to take it out of your mouth and place it back into the tube as far as it will go. The instructor is not touch the device in any way until you place it in the vial, screw it closed, and seal it in a tamper proof bag.

Passing this test is extremely easy:

• It is recommended that you not smoke for at least 3 days before the test. This isn’t an absolute necessity, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
• Brush your teeth very well and rinse with Listerine before you leave for the test.
• When instructed to rub the paddle on your gums, instead rub it slightly on your teeth. Afterward, when told to keep the paddle between your gums and cheek, instead hold it lightly between your top and bottom teeth.

I personally have used this method twice during job interviews and passed both tests with flying colors. The first time, I took one hit off of a bowl before bed during the week before the test. The second time, I even smoked the morning of the test before I brushed my teeth.

Hair Tests

When drug metabolites are in the blood, they’ll end up in the blood vessels, and get filtered through the hair. The drug metabolites stay in the hair as a record of drug use for several months, showing the toxins a person may have used in a time-line fashion. The hair test requires cutting several 1 inch strands of hair, as close to the root as possible, usually from the crown of the head. Body hair (from the face, chest, or underarm) can also be used. Masking hair is useless, as the sample is washed to remove left in products and external contamination.

This can be much harder if cocaine or synthetic drugs are used by dark haired people as it is the melanin (hair color) that is the carrier, not the keratin (hair). Repeated use in dark haired people is almost impossible to reduce below detectable levels. Treatment with toxin removal and a consultation with a professional laboratory technician with the knowledge of Hair Structure are essential to increase your chances of passing. Regular smokers should use a clarifying shampoo regularly to remove toxins that are excreted daily from scalp.

Of course, the easiest and best way to pass a drug test is to not do drugs, but for some people that’s just not possible. In those cases, it is important to know your rights and the procedure of the test being performed so you can pass the test without getting busted.

• ø Don’t keep it in a plastic baggy – Instead, put it in an airtight container or glass jar.
• ø Tape a wet q-tip to the top of the container
• ø Put a wet cigarette filter inside the container

If you notice your weed has already started drying out, stick an orange or lemon peel inside for a few hours, but don’t leave it too long or it’ll mold and ruin your weed.

The police are out in full force, waiting for you to mess up so they can arrest you. I suggest you not carry anything with you, but if you’re worried and absolutely feel the need to carry your weed with you, you should know how to do so safely…

I went to Bonnaroo in 2006 and the police caught the people that were supposed to be supplying the entire festival’s weed. I don’t remember the specific amount they got, but I remember it being extremely hard to find any weed during the entire weekend… But extremely easy to find anything else in the world that you could think of. Perhaps if they had known their rights, it would have been a much greener weekend.

ø Break one law at a time. You’re already in possession of illegal drugs – Don’t drive without your seatbelt or talk on your cell phone. Pay attention to traffic signs and don’t go over the speed limit. Use your blinkers. You get the idea…

ø Don’t smoke in the car. Weed has a very distinct smell and cops aren’t [completely] retarded. They know what it smells like and the smell alone is probable cause for a search. If you’re going to smoke on the way, do so with all the windows down to let the air flow freely and smoke cigarettes or spray air freshener after.

ø Don’t freak out. Cops will often set up signs with things like DRUG CHECKPOINT AHEAD – These checkpoints are unconstitutional; the signs are fake – and watch closely to see who veers to get off the next exit or throws something out of their window. Instead, maintain the speed limit and obey traffic laws and keep going. Stay calm.

ø Do not allow unwarranted searches. It is not illegal to refuse a search if you have not given the police probable cause. Be polite but straight forward – Keith Stroup said, “If you give permission, you waive your Fourth Amendment protections. They may say it’ll go easier if you cooperate, but that’s bullshit. Their only reason for being there is to see if you have contraband and arrest you and put you in jail if you do.”

ø Be careful who you talk to. Once you get to the festival, beware of undercover cops. Many people believe that police officers are required to reveal if they’re an undercover cop, but that’s far from true. It is legal for them to lie while doing their job and they will.

The most important thing is that you know your rights and are comfortable practicing them. If you’re still confused, check out this video, released by Flex Your Rights…

Make a Spoof!

All you need is a toilet paper roll and a couple of dryer sheets.

Crumple a dryer sheet into a ball.

Stuff it inside the toilet paper roll.

…Repeat.

Voila! All finished.

When you take your hit, blow the smoke out through this instead of just out into the open air. The dryer sheets will absorb the smell and anyone passing by will just think you’re dryer fresh. /clap

Things you’ll need

1. · 1 ounce shake and stems OR 1/4 ounce bud
2. · 2 sticks (1 cup) of butter
3. · Large cooking pot
4. · Large bowl
5. · Water
6. · Strainer
7. · cheesecloth
8. · Baking sheet (for optional steps)

Optional pre-steps
* This process changes the chemical compound in the stems, as if lighting the bud with a lighter, to release the THC (to get you high.) It’s super smelly, so if you’re worried about getting caught – Skip it…

• · Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
• · Spread the herb evenly over a baking sheet.
• · Bake at 250 degrees for 30 minutes.

Instructions

Now, comes the fun part:

1. · Fill a large cooking pot with water and bring it to a boil.
2. · Once the water is boiling, add the butter.
3. · Add shake/stems/scraps/bud/whatever you’re using and turn the temperature down to a low boil.
4. · Cover half-way to allow the water to evaporate.
5. · Stir the mix every 15 minutes until most of the water has evaporated. (30-90 minutes, but could take longer depending on the amount you’re making)
6. · Remove from heat and let stand until it’s cooled off a bit.
7. · Put the strainer in the large bowl and drape the cheesecloth over it.
8. · Slowly pour what’s in the pot over the cheesecloth, into the strainer. Scrape the gook in the pot out onto the cheesecloth as well.
9. · Bundle the cheesecloth up and squeeze the remaining butter out of the scraps inside, then dispose of the cheesecloth.
10. · Remove the strainer and put the remaining bowl of melted cannabutter in the refridgerator for a few hours.
11. · Once the cannabutter has hardened, take the bowl out of the fridge and slowly remove the canna-frisbee with a knife.
12. · Remove any residual nasties that may have slipped through to the bottom.

Now you have pure, bright green Cannabutter! You can either use it as is (Spread it on a piece of toast!), or melt it and use it to make other yummy treats. (Brownies, grilled cheese, Rice Krispies treats, etc.)

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve called several of my friends just to hear about how they got arrested for possession. It always makes me wonder – How dense are they? All it takes is a little bit of common sense!

For those of you who are lacking in the common sense department, NORML and Jeff Steinborn have you taken care of. They released a comic strip type thing to help you all out. It’s kind of old, but it’s a great resource for the people that just can’t seem to get discretion through their heads.

Every stoner has done it — Leave the house and forget your pipe, run out of papers without realizing it, or worse – break your pipe and not have a replacement handy. What do you do then?

There are several solutions, but for our first tutorial, we’re going to make a bowl out of tin foil. Before we start, let me say this: This is not the best idea for a pipe, and it’s definitely not something you want to use every time you smoke (Aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer’s,) but it’s quick and easy and okay to use every once in a while when you don’t have anything else handy. Everyone always has tin foil, right? Right. Let’s get started…

What you’ll need:
Tin foil
Something long, fat, and round (Like a permanent marker.)
Something small and sharp (Like a thumb tack.)

Step 1: Cut a piece of tin foil about six inches long (And as wide as it comes in the box.)
Turn it so the shiny side is facing away from you.

Step 2 & 3: Fold in the edges, long-ways, about 2 inches on each side.

Step 4: Wrap the tin foil tightly around the marker (Or whatever else you’re using.)

Step 5: …Keep wrapping…

Step 6: Once the tin foil is completely wrapped, twist the marker in your hand to tighten it more and make it stay put.

Step 7: Take the marker out. (Be careful you don’t flatten the tin foil!)

Step 8: Make a small tin foil square.

Step 9: Poke holes in the square with your thumb tack.

Step 10: Make sure there are enough holes all over the square.

Step 11: Form the square into some sort of bowl like shape. I shaped it around my pinky finger. (This is your screen.)

Step 12: Go back to your long tin foil wrap and bend the bottom inch or so up. (This is your bowl.)

Step 13: Stick the screen inside the bowl.

Step 14: Push it in far enough to make sure it’s in there securely and that no weed can sneak past.

Step 15: Pack it up and smoke it! [I don't have any weed, so this picture is kind of cheating, but you get the idea.]
