Here’s a sneak peek of what’s in this episode:

[8:07] The cannabis industry has taken off.
[8:37] It’s very exciting to be in this industry, especially now that it comes from a place of being taboo. This was something that many people were not allowed to do for a long time, and you were persecuted for doing it.
[9:54] Marijuana became legal in Canada last October 17, 2018.
[11:50] A lot of people decide about edibles from their first experience, and I can’t say that is the best avenue to choose from. A lot of people’s first experience with edibles can sometimes be a little dicey. Edibles are different from any type of controlled substance.
[12:18] Your body has to process the THC in the food, and that can take a long time. It differs for every person. Every person has a different metabolism.
[12:40] Go low and slow. Go with a low dosage and use it slowly over a long period.
[13:04] Understand how you’re consuming it and how it affects your body.
[13:48] You can never overdose on THC.
[14:32 There are things you could do naturally to bring yourself back down.
[14:40] CBD is a natural counteracting agent to THC.
[15:02] Natural things that may help you down are things like citrus and smelling black pepper.
[17:02] Carrots are grounding food.
[17:57] Celery is a really good food to support the liver.
[28:04]Coconut milk is a good source of healthy fat.
[28:25] Parsley is a great source of anti-oxidants, immune support, digestive support, and it also has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.
[30:21] Garlic is also great for gut health too.
[31:41I think our general health is so important.
[33:04] Cannabis can be cooked in any type of cooking, and it includes healthy cooking.
[33:43] Cannabis has a myriad of health benefits.
[34:01] A lot of people use it to help them sleep.
[34:24] It helps increase appetite. It can be useful for medical patients doing chemotherapy who have decreased appetite. It helps them eat when they need to eat.
[35:12] It has that calming effect.
[36:00] Cannabis can help with pain management.
[38:56] Once you’ve found the sweet spot, where you know how many milligrams of THC it requires to get you where you want to be.
[40:03] I think the beverages would be a great way to start. You can get the effects better right a; you can judge better.
[44:48] The cannabis plant has different strains, there are different species within the genus.
[52:47] There’s a simple equation you can follow to help you determine the amount of THC you’re actually putting into your food when you’re cooking.
[53:53] In every situation, it has to be a type of fat. The THC molecule attaches to the fat molecule in butter or any type of oil. That’s why everyone uses infusions in oil because of the fat content. The best one we could use is coconut oil.
[1:05:03] That vinegar trick is the easiest one to make an edible.
[1:05:42] The sky is the limit once you’re able to infuse it with fat.
[1:12:13] Just focus on your breath.
