Desperately seeking relief for a herniated disc and finding none among the cocktail of opioids prescribed by her doctor, Monica Lo’s world changed after she received a cannabis-infused treat from her roommate.
“For the first time in a long time, I slept like a baby,” she says. “The next day, I found myself spending hours and hours researching this plant and how to make my own infusions. Since we lived in a strict no-smoking building, I needed to be very discreet about the wafting smell of cannabis; that meant that using a Crock-Pot or cooking in the kitchen was out of the cards.
Lo was the creative director of a sous vide start-up and thought she would put the company’s machines to the test, which inspired her to start her educational blog. You are Weed®.
Now, he shares his culinary creations The Weed Gummies Cookbook: Recipes for Cannabis Gummies, THC and CBD Edibles and More [978-1-64604-366-8; $17.95; Ulysses Press; August 2022], a handy collection of recipes for those at different stages of their cannabis journey, offering accessible ways to incorporate a variety of cannabinoids into your routine. With the help of step-by-step instructions and color photos, you’ll also get professional tips for safely handling and labeling your sweets.
The Weed Gummies Cookbook will inspire you to create your own special gummies and candies that are even better than your store-bought treats. You’ll find weed-infused recipes like Sour Green Apple Gummies; Lavender Chamomile Sleeping Gummies; Mocha candies; Honey Elderberry Tablets and more.
“The main reason for DIY is that it’s much more cost-effective to make your own infusions and treats at home, especially when dispensary prices are skyrocketing,” says Lo. “This easy-to-use cookbook is designed to build your cannabis culinary repertoire and help you feel empowered to make your own edibles at home.”
With clear instructions, warm anecdotes with every recipe and a heads-up before the tricky stuff, Lo becomes your trusted friend on your exciting cannabis journey.
A portion of the profits of The Weed Gummies Cookbook will be given semiannually to the Last Prisoner Project.
