Preface

FROM AS EARLY as I can remember, I have loved cooking andbaking. When I was six (and just learning to read), my favoritebirthdaypresentwasakids’cookbook.Ilearnedhowtomakeallthebasics, like cinnamon toast and English muffin pizza. And I alsolearned that the quickest way to make people feel good is to cooksomethingdeliciousandshareitwiththem.Likeanyprecociouslittleboy, I got intomy share of trouble.All I had to do tomake thingsbetterwasheadtothekitchenandmakesomethingyummytoshare,andallwasforgotten.

WhileIhavealwaysbeeninterestedinfoodandcooking,itwasn’tuntil2012thatIbegantoincorporatecannabisintomyrecipes.Atthetime, a friend’smotherwas being treated for cancer, and she had amedical marijuana prescription to help with her pain and nausea.Aroundthesametime,IstumbleduponaninterviewwithDr.RaphaelMechoulam—an Israeli organic chemist and professor of medicinalchemistryat theHebrewUniversityofJerusaleminIsrael—whohasbeenattheforefrontofcannabisresearchformanydecades.Throughthisinterview,Ifoundoutaboutthemedicinalcompoundincannabiscalled cannabidiol (CBD) that helps with numerous health issues,especially when combinedwith a low dose of tetrahydrocannabinol(THC).

Page 9: The 420 Gourmet: The Elevated Art of Cannabis Cuisine

On the basis of that knowledge, I decided to start making edibles for myfriend’s mother that were different from the average edibles that were beingsold.At that time,you’dbuyanedible inadispensaryandhavenocluewhatyouweregetting(andyoustilldon’talwaysknow).Wasitasativaoranindicastrain?

A close friendwas suffering from fibromyalgia and debilitating PMS that

involved joint pain andheadaches around the same time.She complained thatalthoughshehadamedicalmarijuana recommendation, shedidn’t smoke,andtheediblessheboughtdidn’thelphereither—theyjustgotherhigh.ThemoreIresearched, the more I learned about certain strains, like Cannatonic andHarlequin,thatcouldreallyhelpwiththeseandotherphysicalailments.IfiguredifIcouldlearnhowtoproperlydosemyedibleswiththerightCBD:THCratio,Icould help people feel even better. I decided to cook a few disheswith high-CBD strains in the hope that the benefits of cannabis would help ease hersuffering—and it worked. I was starting to see, firsthand, the incrediblemedicinalpowerofcookingwithcannabis.

Another friend suffering fromchronicmigrainesandpainaftermajorkneesurgeryaskedme tomakeheracakewithanewstrainofGod’sBlueberry, ahigh-CBD strain that she had gotten from a local dispensary. By then, I wascookingforseveralpeoplewithmedicalmarijuanarecommendations.Shecalledmethenextdayshouting,“Ihavenopain!Pleaseteachmehowtodothisonmyown.” I did, and I havebeen teachingpeoplehow to cookwith cannabis eversince.

After these early forays, I became obsessed with learning more aboutcannabis and how it can actually help people suffering from a multitude ofailments. Like many people, I had already known about THC, the mainpsychoactivecompoundofcannabis.ButIlearnedthatCBDistheunsungheroof cannabis; this non-psychoactive ingredient is proved to be the powerfulmedicinal compound in the plant. And I learned about the entourage effect,which is the interaction of themanyhealing compoundswithin each cannabisstrainthatallowstheplanttohelpindividualsfacingvariousmedicalchallenges.Icallit“medicalmanna.”

Thescienceofcannabisisfairlynew,andit’sanongoinglearningprocess,asnewinformationappearsnearlyeveryweek.MostofwhatIhave learnedisfromthepublishedworksofcannabisscientistssuchastheaforementionedDr.RaphaelMechoulam, thegrandfatherofmedical cannabis researchandwinnerofnumerousawardsforhisdiscoveries.Attheageofeighty-four,hecontinuestoresearchthechemistryofcannabisandhowthechemicalcompounds,knownas cannabinoids, help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, lower high bloodpressure, strengthen bones, shrink tumors, prevent seizures, promote healing,alleviatemanyofthesideeffectsofchemotherapy,andevenkillcancercells.

According to the American Cancer Society, several clinical studies haveproved that cannabis is helpful in treating nausea and vomiting from cancer

chemotherapy, and that it can help treat pain caused by damaged nerves andappetite.Butmorerecently,scientists reported thatTHCandCBD(alongwithothercannabinoids)canslowthegrowthand/orcausethedeathofcertaintypesofcancercellsinlabtests.Whilemostofthesestudieswerebasedonsmokingcannabis,Dr.Mechoulamandothercannabisresearchersreportthatedibleshelpthe sameway—theyare justmetabolizeddifferently.Themore I learned fromthe research, the more I realized that my desire to help others feel good hadtaken on a new level of meaning and impact when I began cooking withcannabis.Myloveoffoodandcookingcouldnowhelpothersfeelgoodonanentirelydifferentscale.

In the beginning, I prepared only cannabis-infused appetizers and dessertitems.IfocusedoncookingandbakingwithstrainsthatwerehighinCBD,andtheediblesactuallyworked!Wordquicklyspread,whichledtomycookingfullmeals of cannabis-infused foods.Most strains of cannabis that contain a highpercentageofCBDalsohaveafairamountofTHCinthem,whichcausesstrongpsychoactiveeffects.Creatingediblesandfullmealsthatdidn’timpartaheavydoseofTHCwastricky.ThismeantIhadtofocusonlowdosing,whichallowspeopletohaveafullcannabis-infusedmealorahandfulofdelicioushomemadecookies, rather than just a bite or two of a not-so-great-tasting commercialcookie.

One isgenerally known to make you perky (sativa), and one is generally known tomake you more relaxed (indica). Crossbreeding of the two types is whatproduceshybridstrains,ofwhichtherearemany(andeachhasitsownuniquecharacteristics). All cannabis strains are categorized according to their“personality traits” as either sativa, indica, or hybrid (and within the hybridcategorizationtherearesativa-heavyhybridsandindica-heavyhybrids).

CannabinoidsIf we dig a little deeper, we get to the core of what creates the differencesbetweencannabisstrains:thebalanceofeachplant’scompounds.AccordingtoUnited Patients Groups, a leading resource for medical cannabis information,scientistshave identifiedmore than483compounds incannabis.More than80of these compounds are found only in cannabis plants and are known as

Page 20: The 420 Gourmet: The Elevated Art of Cannabis Cuisine

cannabinoids.Whencannabis isconsumed,cannabinoidsbind to receptor sitesthroughout the brain and body. Different cannabinoids have different effects,dependingonwhichreceptorstheybindto.Whilewedonotknowthemedicinaleffects of the vast majority of these compounds, we do know that THC andCBD,thetwoprimarycannabinoidsincannabis,havebeenshowninscientificstudies to engage receptor sites throughout the brain and immune system thattriggerpotenthealingandpainkillingeffects.

Here is a further introduction to the properties of THC andCBD, the twomain compounds found in cannabis: THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is thepsychoactivecompoundinthecannabisplantthatgetsyou“high,”butitalsohastherapeutic elements. So in addition to being the chemical responsible forfeelings of euphoria and other mind-altering effects, it is also the part of theplant that helps alleviate nausea and boost appetite. On top of that, scientistshave proved that it inhibits an enzyme implicated in the formation of beta-amyloid plaque, the hallmark of Alzheimer’s-related dementia.Manymedicalpatientswho seek theuplifting and euphoric effects of cannabis in addition tomedicinaleffects,alongwithrecreationaluserswhoenjoy theheadyeffectsoftheplant,willlookforhigherpercentagesofTHCinthebudtheyconsume.Thehigher the percentage of THC, the more psychoactively potent the strain. Ingeneral, sativastrains tend tobeheavieron theTHC. Ifyoudon’twant toget“high”in thetraditionalsense, lookinsteadforstrainswithverylowTHCandhighCBDpercentages(seethechart).

CBD (cannabidiol) is the primary non-psychoactive compound in thecannabis plant that is responsible for a vast array of therapeutic effects, andwhich has been proved to help alleviate a multitude of ailments without the“high.” The beauty of CBD is that it is well tolerated and safe even at highdoses.CBDiscommonlyreferredtoasthe“medicine”inthecannabisplant,andscientistsandresearchershavebeensuccessfullyshowingthatCBDoilshrinkstumors, quells seizures, eases chronic pain, and treats the symptoms ofmanyailments, including fibromyalgia, PMS, joint and muscle pain, and spasms.ScientistsfromIsraelhaveevenprovedthatCBDalsohelpshealandstrengthenbrokenbones.Ingeneral,indicastrainstendtohavehigherpercentagesofCBD.

Each cannabis strain has a different ratio of cannabinoids that providesdifferenteffects,whichiswhytheexperiencediffersfromonestraintoanother.It’s important to note that the chemical profile ofmany sativa strains is THCdominant,while the chemical profile ofmany indica strains ismore balancedandhasahigherpercentageofCBD.Thatbeingsaid,mostindicastrainsarestill

ACTIVATIONANDINFUSIONAs it turns out, neither THC norCBD is active in raw cannabis. THC comesfrom tetrahydrocannabinolicacid (THCA)andCBDcomes fromcannabidiolicacid (CBDA).These two acids are the precursors toTHCandCBD, found inraw,livecannabis,butneitherhasanyactivepropertiesonitsown.BothTHCand CBD need to be “activated” through a process called “decarbing”(decarboxylation)before their effects canbe felt.Essentially,decarbingmeansremovingtheacid,orthe“A”molecule,fromtheTHCandCBD,whichhappensbyreleasingacarbonatomfromacarbonchain.Thiscanbedoneonlythroughheatandtime.Whenyousmokecannabis,youdecarbthebudviaheatbeforeitgoesintoyourlungs.Butinordertocookwithcannabis,youneedto“activate”the THC and CBD by decarbing your bud before you can infuse it into yourfood.

THC andCBD, alongwith the other natural compounds (cannabinoids) inrawcannabis,arehydrophobic,meaningtheycannotbeinfusedintowater.Theyarefat-soluble,however,whichmeansthattheycanbeinfusedintoingredientscontaininghighlevelsoffat,suchasbutterandoil.Inthecomingpages,Iwillshowyou(1)howtodecarbyourcannabistoactivatetheTHCandCBD,and(2)howtoinfusethosecompoundsintobuttersandoils.Irecommendusinghealthyfats and oils (such as grass-fed butter, coconut oil, and olive oil) for the bestresults.

Toblanchyourherb,simplyplaceitinboilingwaterfor5minutestoget rid of any remaining impurities, and then immediately place it in abowl of icewater for aminute to stop the cooking process.

TheRulesofHosting420MealsHere are a few things to be aware of and to plan for as the host or chef ofcannabis-infusedmeals: 1. Askyour guests not to smoke cannabis before orduringyourmeal.Let the experience be all about your edibles. If your guestssmokebeforeorduringyourmeal,youwillbelayeringadditionalTHContopofwhattheyhavealreadyconsumed,whichcanleadtoanxiety,paranoia,andanuncomfortableperiodforthem—andforyou.

2. A littlewine is okay . . . at thebeginning.Oneor twoglasses ofwinewithamealisfine,butanythingbeyondthatcanbeproblematic—ascanother alcoholic beverages. Wine is okay because of its relatively lowalcohol content. There are two reasons to limit your alcoholicconsumption so strictly while consuming edibles. First, you want yourgueststoexperiencetheeffectsofthecannabisinyourediblesandnottoconfuse what they feel from the alcohol with what they feel from thecannabis. The other reason is more scientific. Research studies haveshown that consuming alcohol with cannabis almost doubles the THClevels in the blood, which increases the “high” and makes thepsychoactiveeffectsmorepronounced.Cookingorbakingwithcannabisis a science asmuch as a culinary art, and if you drink or allow yourgueststodrinkmorethanaglassortwoofwine,youruntheriskofthenegativesideeffectsfromovermedicating.

3. Make sure your guests have some non-infused food in their stomachsbefore you begin. Consuming cannabis-infused edibles on an emptystomachcanmagnifytheeffectsoftheTHCandleadtoundesirablesideeffectssuchasnausea,anxiety,andparanoia.Aneasywaytopreventthatisbyconsuminganon-infusedsnackbeforeeatingedibles.

Page 36: The 420 Gourmet: The Elevated Art of Cannabis Cuisine

4. Provide non-infused food for balance. It’s a good idea to have non-infused fare—be itofferingmenu itemspreparedbothwithandwithoutcannabisorprovidingotherselectionsentirely—atyourmeals.Thishelpsyourguestschoose justhowmuchcannabis theywant to ingestatyourmeal,withoutleavingthemhungry.

5. Start early. Keep in mind that everyone metabolizes cannabis-infusededibles differently, and that it can take anywhere from30minutes to 3hourstofeeltheeffects.It’sbesttokeepyourscheduleopenafewhoursaftera420mealtoprovideampletimetoappreciatethebenefits.

To expand on this last point, it will often take more time than you’veexpected or planned for the effects of edibles to be felt. About a year ago, Icooked for a group of executives in Coloradowho decided that a 420 dinnerwouldbeagreatwaytobondwiththeirnewCEO,alarge,gruffman.Forthefirst few hours, everyone except the CEO was having a great time, while heremainedstraight-facedandquiet.Itwasn’tuntil3hourslaterthatsomeonesaidsomethingthattriggeredahugeguffawfromtheCEO.Soon,hewaslaughingsohardthathefelloffhischair.Sodon’tsweatitifthingsarenothappeningasfastasyouhoped.Youshouldalsobeawarethatasmallnumberofpeoplelacktheenzyme responsible for metabolizing the compounds found in cannabis (andthereforeareimmunetothebenefits).

InfusingButtersandOilsBUTTERI highly recommend using grass-fed butter for all of your cooking needs (myfavoritebrandisKerrygold).Thedifferencebetweengrass-fedbutterandregularbutter comes through in the quality of the butter and how good it is for you.Grass-fed butter contains vitamins A, E, and K2. Vitamin K is important forheart health, and K2 is what keeps calcium out of your arteries and in yourbones. Grass-fed butter is also rich in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a fattyacid thathaspowerfulhealthbenefits.Although the jury is stillout,numerousstudies have shown that CLA may actually lower body fat percentages. Inaddition,grass-fedbuttercontainsbutyrate,ashort-chainfattyacidthathasbeenprovedtofightinflammationandimprovestomachhealth.

POTATO LATKES WITH CANNA-PEAR CRÈMEFRAÎCHE

This fun recipe was inspired by my friend Chef Eric Greenspan’sLatkeBiteswithAppleCrèmeFraîche,which isoneofmy favoritenon-infused snacks.Althoughmy recipe is quite different from his,his concept of fruit-infused crème fraîche is a wonderfulcontemporary take on the old-world culinary staple of latkes withapplesauce. To make your own crème fraîche, just mix 1 cupwhipping creamwith 2 tablespoons buttermilk in a glass container.Coverwitha tight-fitting lidand let standat room temperatureuntilvery thick (8 to 24 hours). Stirwell and then refrigerate.Will keeprefrigeratedforupto10days.

ChefGillian“La”CaballeroChef “La” Caballero began cooking at the age of eight, inspired by thecombinationofherfather’svastcookbookcollectionandherstepmother’s(self-admitted) complete lack of any cooking skills. Taking matters into her ownhandsandteachingherselftoreadandfollowrecipes,shebecametheself-taughtchef of the family well before turning ten years old. Having grown up inCalifornia and having worked in Bay Area restaurants for more than twentyyears, she has developed a personal style of cooking that firmly follows thephilosophy of using seasonal, high-quality ingredients and avoiding allprocessed foods and chemical additives. For the ten years prior to finallyofficially attending culinary school, she began to cook exclusively vegetarian,vegan,and rawcuisine.Also,having livedandextensively traveled inMexicoand Italy (whereher ancestors are from), shehas focusedher cooking style toreflect the classic recipes of those areas, but with healthier lifestylemodificationsandaCaliforniaperspective.
