A great alternative to the consumption made by the classic joint or vaporizer, is the ingestion of Marijuana. In this way we do not damage our respiratory system but we will have the same medicinal and recreational effects. This recipe for marijuana candies is the most used today, for its simplicity and obviously for its taste and effect. Going here: budderweeds.com/edibles/ for more information.

In addition to candies, how we are going to work with liquid sugar that once solidified will be quite rigid, we can also make marijuana lollipops with the same mixture. A whole world of designs is available if we buy molds, although we always prefer to do it in a more homemade way, following the traditional recipe.

Traditional recipe for making marijuana candies

To prepare this recipe we will need two pots or pans, since we will do it in a water bath. The water bath consists of putting water in a saucepan and putting another saucepan on the water, so that the second saucepan will only warm up with the water temperature. It is something really simple, that allows us to cook at a stable temperature without burning the ingredients.

However, if someone has a kitchen thermometer, it never hurts to avoid the temperature. As a base we will use the traditional recipe of caramel, to which we will add Marijuana in the form of hashish or in the form of Marijuana Butter.

* How to make Marijuana Butter

We can use any of these two things for the recipe, if we use hashish it should be in powder, that is to say without kneading and we will need about 3 grams. If we use marijuana butter we will need about 10 grams. In addition to the following ingredients.

Ingredients to make marijuana candies

* 2 cups of sugar

* 1 cup of water

* Half a cup of honey (no matter what honey is, except the bad ones... better buy it in a herbalist to ensure its quality).

* Green food coloring (powder or drops, sold anywhere and is very economical)

* Powdered sugar (known as glass sugar)

* 3 grams of hashish or failing 10 grams of Marijuana Butter (do not use both at the same time).

Preparation of marijuana candies

We put a saucepan on medium - high heat with water to use as a base for the water bath. The other saucepan we will put it inside the previous saucepan so that everything is cooked in the water bath. In this second saucepan we add the ingredients: sugar, water and honey.

We will constantly stir the mixture while unifying it, creating a kind of viscous caramel mass. If we use a kitchen thermometer we must reach 145 degrees centigrade more or less so that the dough acquires this texture, if we do not have a thermometer, we will simply increase the fire in the bucket with water to obtain more temperature, until the mixture acquires the texture described.

It may take about ten or fifteen minutes while the mixture acquires this texture, so you have to have a bit of patience and stir it from time to time. The sugar will end up frosting and forming a homogeneous mass with honey.

Once we have achieved the right texture, we will add one or two drops of green food coloring  and three grams of hashish powder or, failing that, ten grams of marijuana butter.

We will continue stirring constantly until the dye and butter are homogeneous with the base obtained (two or three minutes will be enough) and then pour the mixture on a special mold for candy or on a previously greased mold to prevent them from sinking.

We must wait a few minutes for the mixture to begin to solidify, when the texture is appropriate, we can mold it and cut it at our whim, or simply let it harden completely.

When we remove the candies from the mold, we will cover them gently with powdered sugar  and finish !! We already have our delicious marijuana candies ready to be eaten !!

Remember that the effect of cannabis is greater when you eat than when you smoke, so do not abuse or you will have an effect too strong. Each person is different, some need a piece of candy to feel the effects and others need a whole caramel or two.
