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

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

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

Why I LOVE THC Infused Drinks

@justhighlo September 7, 2022 No Comments

I have been using and making cannabis edibles off and on for about 15 years. At first, I would make the typical boxed brownies that would send my friends into space while I’d be sitting there pissed off that I wasted all that flower. Now that I’m approaching my 10,000 hours (I have to be close, right?), I have learned that I just need to focus on edibles that are primarily absorbed through my mouth

The 6 Cooking and Food Books I Turn to the Most

@justhighlo August 30, 2022 No Comments

I love books. A lot. And while most of my reading is done on a cheap and not very well made Chinese e-reader because I just had to have an e-ink screen with access to the google play store, I do like to keep a selection of real books for reference purposes. Especially food and cooking books. The list below is not all of my cookbooks but they are the ones I’ve been turning to

Which is more potent? 2 hour infusions or 6 hour infusions?

@justhighlo October 21, 2021 No Comments

We are back at our potency testing competitions and this week we’re going to find out just how much of a difference there is between a 2 hour infusion and a 6 hour infusion.  TBH, I was kind of surprised by the results, even though my gut kind of had a feeling all along.  I’m not going into too much detail here about the results (but if you would like a transcript, I’ll happily provide
