How to Figure Out Which Cannabis Strain is Right for You

When I was younger, I used to think that cannabis was cannabis. It was either good shit or bad shit. You got lit or you didn’t. There were no choices. It was whatever your dude was able to get that week. That was back in the good old days which are still very much the current realities for a lot of people in the US. Also one of the many reasons I live in Colorado

#50 Cannabis-infused Pomegranate Mint Mocktail

The holidays, and winter time, means a lot of people are giving copious amounts of love to hot drinks.  Not me.  I’m a little warm almost all of the time. The last thing I want is a hot beverage. Save the steam, Carol. Ice it or dump it out. (Side note, I will occasionally make an exception for a sleepy time tea and hot chocolate but I usually let my tea go cold).  The other

50 New Year Affirmations for Stoners

I’m not really one of those “new year, new me” types of people. To be honest, I find it tiring to be expected to give yourself a fresh start, a new diet, a new workout routine all because it’s the first of the year. Every day can be the start of a new year.  However, I also feel like 2020 kicked my ass just like it kicked everyone’s asses. It was exhausting emotionally, physically, and

How to Create a Pandemic Safe Sesh Space for the Holidays

Usually, around this time of year, I’m … well alone-ish. Until recently, Geoff and I didn’t have any friends here in Colorado Springs. Since we’re transplants from out of state, most of our friends and family live up and down the east coast. Compound that with the fact that we both work from home and I have thoughts about the type of people who participate in group hobbies for grown-ups (mainly that the type of

6 Tips for Reducing Cannabis Flavor in Edibles

One of the most common questions I am asked is: “how do I make my edibles taste less like cannabis?” And I get it. My partner is the same way. He would prefer it to not taste like cannabis. Although, I do find it surprising that people who can enjoy the flavors while smoking don’t like the flavors in their food. I also think it is partly to do with pairing the wrong strains with

#49 Infused Salted Caramel

In episode 49 of Pot Lunch with Lo, I’m showing you how to make cannabis-infused salted caramel for a delicious fall snack: caramel dipped apple slices.  For this recipe, I used the cannabutter that I made in episode number 46: Pot Pantry Prep.  To make the butter, decarboxylate your cannabis in an oven that has been preheated to 240 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes. Then add your flower, and butter to a mason jar. Add

I prefer the alcohol mash method. Start

Tips for Hosting a Cannabis-infused Dinner Party

It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to host a party at home. I miss it. I think the last opportunity we had to have a party was last year when we threw a little housewarming after we moved into our house. This house was made for entertaining. Laid out perfectly for a party both inside and out (even if there are some parts that need updating/fixing). It’s one of the things that

Pot Lunch With Lo #47 Infused Smoothie

Hey there buds!  This week on Pot Lunch, I’m showing you how to easily infuse a simple berry smoothie with 1 tablespoon of cannabis-infused coconut oil. This is one of my favorite quick breakfasts. It’s a pretty easy one, you just need a blender.  As an additional note, if you don’t have a very strong blender or are just using an immersion blender, omit the ice and replace it with more milk or some water

#POTLUNCHWITHLO 46: Pot Pantry Prep

I love taking edibles. But what I don’t always love is the time it takes to make infusions. Let’s face it, it’s kind of a project. While I’ve found that it’s a mostly hands off process, it is time consuming. That’s why I like to make multiple infusions at once.  In this episode of Pot Lunch with Lo, I’m going to show you how I make a moth (or more) of infused ingredients in just
