Cooking with cannabis

With the opening of a restaurant serving food with 'special seasonings' it seems cannabis is having a moment in the kitchen spotlight

The chocolate brownie: arguably the most famous recipe involving cannabis

The pretty town of Ashland in southern Oregon puffed its way into the news this week, when a restaurant opened there specialising in a particular kind of baking. The legal position of the cannabis cuisine which the restaurant serves is rather sketchy. Oregon, like 15 other states and Washington DC, permits marijuana use for medical purposes. (Similar legislation is pending in a dozen further states.) Local cops say that the totally unhippyish-sounding Earth Dragon Edibles is breaking the law, but news reports say the restaurant opened "without a hitch". Apparently sober customers – or "patients", as they must be known – all seemed keen. One of them, an ex-law enforcement official with a lovely white beard and a tie-dye T-shirt, said: "I've seen the bad sides and the good sides [to marijuana], and for 30 years I've been disabled and it saved my life so far." Which is heartening.

Good info Spydaman. Where did you learn that?

Cooking with weed has a long and not ignoble tradition. Mixed with ground almonds, milk and sugar into a drink happily called bhang, it's used in religious rites across much of northern India. Chinese cannabis recipes go back to the 7th century BC, and Bartolomeo Platina included a recipe for "a health drink of cannabis nectar" in the world's first printed cookbook, De Honesta Voluptate Et Valetudine ("On Honourable Pleasure and Health"), published in 1475.
