The ruling in R v Smith made edibles legal for medical users but there are a lot of restrictions on selling them for dispensaries, so why shouldn’t patients (and their caregivers) bake their own? Twelve High Chicks thanks regular guest contributor, and baker of many goodies, Tracy Curley for this recipe for Canna-Chocolate Chip Cookies. It uses infused fats created from instructions that can be found in this post. Try ’em yourself, but remember that everyone reacts differently to edibles. Please be careful with dosage, give edibles time to work, and don’t treat your munchies with more pot-filled food!

My grandmother and my great-grandmother were fixtures in my house when I was growing up. Because of their experiences living through the Great Depression I learned an important lesson at an early age, “waste not want not.” Though spoken to me almost 30 years back these words could not be any more true today, and that’s why I love vaporizers.
While marijuana can be added to all sorts of foods for medicating without smoking, baked goods require more than just adding pot. Twelve High Chicks thanks regular guest contributor Tracy Curley for providing us, and you, with her recipes for cannabutter and canna-oil. Try ’em yourself, but remember that everyone reacts differently to edibles. Please be careful with dosage, give edibles time to work, and don’t treat your munchies with more pot-filled food!
I had the pleasure of first meeting this gorgeous, savvy, redheaded woman back in July 2011 in Saskatoon, at the 1st Annual Prairie Medicinal Harvest Cup. As the Project Coordinator, when I won a raffle, Tracy traded off the expected prize for the one I wanted: a Medicinal Shirt in support of Michelle Rainey’s legacy. My experience meeting Tracy was most memorable because of this, her love of helping people. It reminded me how many of us lack people like her in our lives, and how, if we had more people like Tracy, we would more comfortably persevere in the struggles we face as cannabis activists in Canada. Tracy has helped hundreds of patients obtain dignified access to medication and physicians, and she helps patients by teaching them how to medicate in foods.
We’ve come a long way from the days when, if you wanted to eat some ganja, you picked up a box of instant brownie mix and dumped in the bag you just scored from your buddy—hopefully after removing the stems and seeds.
