MMJ EDIBLE RECIPE Spinach Cannabis Quiche


Ingredients:

1/2 cup cannabis-infused butter
3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
1 small white onion (finely diced)
10 oz package frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
4.5 oz can of mushrooms (drained and chopped)
6 oz package of crumbled feta (herb & garlic)
8 oz package of shredded cheddar cheese
4 eggs (beaten)
1 cup milk
1 (9″) unbaked deep pie crust
Salt and black pepper to taste


Directions

To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Next, in a medium size skillet melt the 1/2 cup of cannabis-infused butter over medium-heat on the stove top.

Then, finely mince the 3 cloves of garlic and finely dice the white onion.

Add them both to your skillet with the melted cannabutter.

Cook for several minutes until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant; roughly 5-6 minutes.

While the onions and garlic are cooking, drain the mushrooms and the thawed spinach.

Proceed to chop the mushrooms and add them and the drained spinach to your skillet containing the onions and garlic. Stir well to combine.

Then, add in both the feta cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (the other 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese will be used to crown the quiche once it has begun to bake).

Season with salt and black pepper, and stir well to combine until all of the cheese is mostly melted.

Next, spoon the quiche mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
Then, in a medium size bowl, beat the 4 eggs and 1 cup of milk.

Once finished, pour the egg and milk mixture over top the spinach filling in the pie crust. 

Jiggle and shimmy the pie crust around to ensure the egg has made its way into all of the nooks and crannies that may be hiding, and also to allow any air bubbles to escape prior to baking.

Place the spinach quiche into your preheated oven and allow it to bake for 15 minutes.

Remove the quiche from the oven and crown it with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.

Place the quiche back into the preheated oven and continue to bake it for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the center is completely set.

Remove the quiche from the oven, and allow it to stand for 10 minutes prior to serving.
Serve and enjoy!

Health Benefits of Hemp Oil


Out of all the cannabinoids in marijuana, cannabidiol (or CBD) has become one of the most sought after compounds due to its superior medicinal benefits. The most common medium for taking CBD is through an extract, such as tinctures and oils, which can be created from hemp.

Compared to THC, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, CBD heals the body passively without getting the patient high. According to a report from the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, the cannabinoid contains the following properties: anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-seizure and anti-depressant. Recently, CBD extracts received attention from the media for helping mitigate seizures in children diagnosed with Dravet syndrome. Traditional medicines, including clonazepam and diazepam, often leave such patients disconnected from their surroundings, significantly lowering the individual’s quality of life. It’s important to consider that CBD does not come with the same debilitating side effects as prescription meds. The compound is known to promote alertness with minimal overdose risks. Furthermore, it can counteract vomiting and nausea closely associated with conventional treatments.

Hemp CBD oil is also suitable for patients suffering from pain-related diseases, such as headaches, cramps and arthritis. Interestingly, scientists have proven that CBD activates the same parts of the brain as opioids. It regulates the patient’s thresholds “through the modulation of RVM neuronal activity.” This suggests that the compound could be a viable option for individuals who are concerned about the recent spike in opioid overdoses across the United States.

CBD is not limited to patients with crippling medical conditions. The compound in hemp oil is also beneficial for mainstream consumers with everyday ailments. In a study from the University of College London’s Clinical Psychopharmacology Unit, CBD was effective in reducing cigarette addiction in smokers. During the trial, 24 participants were randomly given an inhaler of CBD or a placebo. The individuals were asked to take a puff from the inhaler when they had an urge to smoke a cigarette. The results showed that those who were given CBD decreased their cigarette consumption by up to 40 percent.

Individuals who are prone to acne may also find CBD useful in preventing skin breakouts and redness. First uncovered in the Journal of Clinical Investigation and the National Institute of Health, scientists discovered that the application of cannabidiol on human sebaceous glands helped reduce skin inflammation by hindering lipid synthesis.

Unlike medical cannabis, hemp CBD oil is legal, and consumers do not need a license to purchase the extract from a store or online. Individuals who are interested in trying hemp oil should check out Elixinol’s CBD products. The company offers hemp oil extracts in the following mediums: tinctures, capsules, liposomes and oral applications. “With deep roots in the hemp industry, we have been focused on manufacturing and providing the highest quality CBD Hemp extracts in the world for over 3 decades,” said Paul Benhaim, CEO of Elixinol.

MMJ vs Crohn's Disease


Crohn’s Disease and Colitis are painful, chronic conditions that can ruin someone’s quality of life, even when they aren’t acting up. When they are, these conditions can leave one writhing in pain, unable to function. Treatments for these conditions have been limited until recently, as they have now been included in some states as qualifying conditions for medical marijuana.

Crohn’s disease causes chronic pain and inflammation throughout the gastrointestinal tract, causing swelling, constipation, persistent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, cramping, and the sensation that bowels aren’t fully evacuated.

Ulcerative Colitis belongs to the same family of disorders, known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease, or IBS, but only affects the innermost layer of the colon. Symptoms are the same as Crohn’s but also include fever, decreased appetite, fatigue, unhealthy weight loss, and amenorrhea in women.

Cannabis has been used for centuries to treat the symptoms of IBS related diseases and was widely prescribed for these conditions until its legal status was changed almost 85 years ago. It wasn’t until 1942 that it was removed from the medical pharmacopeia.

More recently, The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America issued a statement in 2012 saying that the compounds found in the marijuana plant have been shown to play an important part in decreasing gastrointestinal inflammation. The anti-inflammatory properties of cannabinoids are well established, but it turns out that IBS patients have more receptors for these compounds in their colon and intestines that those without the condition, meaning that for them, the relief is even more profound.

Researchers at the Institute of Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases at Chaim Sheba Medical Center performed a study that found people affected by the diseases showed significantly improved quality of life using inhaled medical cannabis, as well as increased appetite, healthy weight gain, and a decrease in symptoms severity and frequency. This led to a more normal life, greater ability to perform both professionally and socially, and decreased mental stress and depression.

Researchers at the Sire Manchester Hospital in England also published a study reporting that medical marijuana decreased pain and diarrhea in IBS patients.

REVIEW TransformerTubes be Creative and Customize your Own.


TransformerTubes are interchangeable modules that can be arranged in any number of color combinations and configurations. The concept is rather simple. Easy to assemble components that add up to a pretty cool water pipe with a design you customize for yourself.

The modules include: dome percolators, ice and milking chambers, glass and liquid freezer modules, in a variety of colors and more, including: a choice of bases, carbon filtration and LEGO® character modules. The possibilities are endless.

The smooth surfaces also make a blank palette for spray or craft paints or a great place for all those stickers you’ve collected.

Because TransformerTubes can be broken down and taken apart easily, filling, cleaning and transportation are all simplified. Try carrying around a 4 foot piece of glass. When it comes to cleaning, BYOTubes suggests alcohol-based solutions or my friends at Randy’s suggest their Green Label Cleaner as an alternative.

So, if you’re looking for a great water pipe that can be made truly unique and are looking for a little creative expression, I suggest checking out Transformer Tubes.
