I read “Time Magic” so you don’t have to

@justhighlo September 6, 2023 No Comments

As I begin my journey into mid-life, I have found myself turning towards growth and overall health more and more. For me, part of health is making sure my mind is clear, I’m accomplishing goals, and I don’t feel overwhelmed while doing everything I want and need to do. So when I was browsing through new ebook releases in my local library’s catalog and saw a book promising to teach me to “reclaim [my] time,

How to Infuse Vegan/Plant-Based Butter

@justhighlo February 28, 2023 No Comments

One request I’ve received from subscribers/followers frequently is to add more vegan/plant-based options to the mix. And I get it. Whether it’s because of allergies or moral objections, it is of no consequence to me. I want to provide guidance wherever it is needed. Infusing non-dairy butter is not that different from infusing cow butter or coconut oil. Plant butter is made with vegetable oils, lecithin, and water. So the same basic principles and processes

50 More Affirmations for Stoners

@justhighlo February 24, 2023 No Comments

It has been a few years since my first version of 50 Positive Affirmations for Stoners in the New Year and I thought it was a good time to bring you 50 more. I did not go back and reread the original set so there may be duplicates. But I don’t want to find out how unclever I actually am. Feel free not to remind me. So here are 50 NEW Affirmations for Cannabis Users

Where to Find Locally Produced and Grown Food in Colorado Springs

@justhighlo December 3, 2022 No Comments

I started writing this article before this fantastic 5 episode podcast was released, all about the local Colorado Springs food scene, from the restaurant chefs to the farmers and local producers. It is an insightful commentary about the struggles the market faces and features interviews with the chefs and producers trying to shake the stigma of Fast Food Nation and the insidious creep of corporate chain restaurants. I grew up somewhere it was easy to

Why I Use Cannabis Edibles

@justhighlo November 14, 2022 No Comments

I have been a regular edible user for over a decade. Some weeks I use edibles every single day. Then there are stretches of weeks or months when I won’t touch them. I’m an intuitive cannabis user for the most part (although I’m working on finding out if there are patterns to that, more on that experiment is coming in the next few months. And while I’ve posted dozens of recipes and various methods for

#66: Infused Chocolate Ganache Truffles

@justhighlo November 2, 2022 No Comments

Long time no see, Pot Lunchers. How the hell are ya? I hope you’re good enough. That’s all we can hope for, really, as we all slow boil into society’s end. And if the end is nigh, at least we can get high, or something like that. That’s what this brand new recipe and episode hopes to help with. I’ve been wanting to make some kind of infused chocolate treat for a while now but every attempt

Pros and Cons of Using an at-Home Potency Testing Device

@justhighlo October 27, 2022 No Comments

Over a year ago, maybe even longer, I started using a handy little device called the tCheck (affiliate link, please use my code: justhilo for a lil discount). It’s a palm-sized device that allows you to check the potency of your infusions, raw flower, concentrates, you name it. I’m not afraid of a little math so I thought, “how useful could this thing even be?” Turns out it’s pretty fucking useful. I test every infusion

6 Must Have Kitchen Tools

@justhighlo October 13, 2022 No Comments

I’ve written before about my favorite tools for making edibles, but I haven’t written about my favorite kitchen tools in general. I try not to buy too many gadgets for the kitchen. I have adopted a utilitarian way of thinking with bringing anything new into the house (except for purely pretty things because my walls are bare). The items have to be useful and unique. There can’t be too much overlap with something else I

How to Pick Vegan or Plant Butter for Cannabis Infusions

@justhighlo September 22, 2022 No Comments

Although I’m a very pro butter cook, I understand that dietary restrictions, medical complications, and lifestyle choices can exclude a lot of people from wanting to make cannabis-infused foods. More often than not, our first experiences with making cannabis-infused foods at home include stumbling through a cannabutter recipe. If you can’t have dairy butter, for whatever reason, what are your options for making that kind of infusion at home? Coconut oil is often touted as

What Information Should I put on Edible Food Labels?

@justhighlo September 22, 2022 No Comments

One side effect of becoming the “person who makes edibles” in your social circle is frequently asking if you’ll make a treat for a friend or family member. Since I have limited time and desire to be in the kitchen, I don’t often say an outright yes to these requests and make a general announcement: “come over, bring a container and take what you want.” As much as I love my friends, I have noticed
