Cannabis Edibles and Spirituality

Cannabis Edibles and Spirituality by Jessica Catalano

There are many different drugs in this world that can facilitate a higher awareness to the spiritual world. Cannabis is just one example of a plant that can raise our vibrations and connect us with the spiritual ether.

Edibles are the perfect vessels for medicinal, recreational, and spiritual needs. Next time you find yourself in the kitchen with some cannabis, set the intention to create edibles that will facilitate higher spiritual vibrations. Do this by selecting strains and a proper dosage that is great for deep introspection. Then create a recipe that yields a baked or cooked item that is unique and invokes the sense of sacrament.

Place your spiritual edibles in a special storage container such as a carved box or decorated glass jar. This will create a sense of sacredness. Consume the edible with spiritual intention before you start a meditation, prayer circle, ritual, cleansing, et cetera. Spiritual edibles are a great assest to understaning the metaphysical unseen world and will accelerate spiritual growth.

Cannabis tends to drop our material world blinders and allows us to see ourselves as we really are. It also allows us to see who other people really are and how the world really operates. It helps to mentally defragment our psyche and face issues we tend to put away on the back burner. By healing ourselves, growing, and facing our fears, we can then connect more easily with the spiritual plane.

Below is a simple recipe to get you started with incorporating cannabis into your spiritual practices. Remember, if you are not used to cannabis edibles, start at a low recommended dosage of 2-5mg and then work your way up.

Gluten- Free 5 Ingredient Peamut Butter Kief Cookies

Mise en place:

1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup turbinado sugar
1 egg
1 scoop vanilla rice protein powder
1 gram kief

Directions:

Step 1 – Decarboxylize the kief by preheating your oven to 220 degrees F. Take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper that will not burn in the oven. Very carefully sprinkle the kief onto the sheet making sure that it is evenly disbursed. Place the baking sheet into the oven uncovered and heat for 25 minutes. Pull the baking sheet from the oven, and let it cool completely. Be very careful when removing it from the pan. You now have decarboxylized or “activated” medical kief that is ready for consumption.

Step 2 – Turn the oven up to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl mix all of the ingredients with a wooden spoon. Once the mixture comes together, divide the dough into 12 servings with a scale. Pat each serving into the shape of a cookie then place the cookie dough onto a cookie tray. Use a fork to flatten the dough in a crisscross pattern. Bake for 14 minutes then pull from the oven. Cool for 8-10 minutes before eating.

Dosage – If the gram tests at 50% THC, fifty percent of 1,000mg would be 500mg. So if you added 1 gram worth of kief into this recipe at 50% THC it would look something like this: 500mg divided 12 servings would equal 41.7mg per cookie. Sub the number of your THC percentage and do the math to figure out your dosing. If you want a smaller dose, cut the gram by half or make even smaller servings.
