Sugar Free Chocolate Cannabis Candy


There are quite a few recipes for cannabis candy available on the web but not many sugar free. These are not only sugar free but very easy to make. This recipe makes a melt in your mouth dark chocolate.

Sugar Free Chocolate Cannabis Candy

 Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
  • 1/2 teaspoon lecithin powder
  • 6 grams finely powdered, decarboxylated cannabis
  • 2 or 3 packets of Stevia sweetner to taste
Directions:
  1. Melt the coconut oil.
  2. Add cocoa, vanilla, lecithin, cannabis and stevia.
  3. Stir thoroughly.
  4. Spoon into molds and refrigerate till solidly set.

The molds I use hold 1 teaspoon. 1/2 gram of powdered cannabis is about 1/2 teaspoon so with this mixture you get 1/2  teaspoon cannabis with 1/2 teaspoon chocolate per candy.

This generally is a good dose to start with depending on the quality of the starting material.

If it doesn't work just eat more chocolates!

Store in refrigerator.

Cannabis Seed Pills

Howdy there little Buckaroos!
Don't let anyone tell you that there hasn't been enough research on cannabis to use it as medicine. It has been used as medicine since the dawn of time. The earliest written reference to the use of cannabis as medicine occurred in China around 2,800 BC, in the medical text known as the Pen Ts'ao of the legendary Emperor Shen-Nung.

The whole plant is useful from the leaves and flowers to the roots. Even the seeds have medicinal properties. The seeds, made into a paste and used as an unguent, is a folk remedy for tumors and cancerous ulcers.

 The Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica calls for the use of hemp seeds as treatment for:

  • Intestinal problems
  • Aftermath of colds (febrile diseases)
  • Post partum
  • Blood (nutritional) deficiency
  • Promotes healing of sores and ulcerations

Now here's some real Old Time Medicine. This preparation was used in China in the year 220 AD!

Medical author Zhang Zhongjing gives us his cure for constipation and Spleen Restriction.
