In this Faces of Cannabis interview, I sit down with my good friend Green Beard. Living in Ireland, GB actively works to fight for legalization while breaking stigma so that one day Irish cannabis users can cultivate and consume cannabis without fear of repercussions. We cover quite a bit of ground in this conversation, enjoy!

This recipe came from a listener who was enjoying an abundance of plums from a tree in her yard. The results were so good she had to share. After I tried it, I realized that a torte was not as tricky to make as I thought it might be yet it sounds impressive. It's stone fruit season which means it's easy to find ripe fruit to use for this recipe! Easy to make and even simpler to infuse, this lovely dessert can be adjusted to use whatever fruit and nuts are in season. Enjoy!

Caramel popcorn, candy apples, apple pie drizzled with caramel and a side of ice cream, an infused sauce can be used to elevate many different recipes. This caramel sauce, inspired by the luncheon that I attended where the sauces were infused and not the dishes themselves, is more versatile than it appears. Infuse the batch or just your serving, the article in the show notes provides some ways to use the caramel sauce that you may not have thought of!

When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself.

Steve has been growing his own cannabis since before the internet so you knows he's knowledgeable. He's had time to perfect his craft and now splits his time between his home in British Columbia, Canada and numerous grow operations around the world. A long time edibles lover, he shares an unusual infusion you likely haven't heard of but will want to try, especially if you're growing your own or know someone who is. We also talk about how he likes to use his infusion, his perspective on legalization in Canada and around the world and how BC is decriminalizing hard drugs. This is an interesting conversation with a someone who has been steeped in cannabis culture since the 80's.

• 3 Part Fan Leaf Infusion:
  • dry leaves in oven first - this decarbs & helps prevents splattering while cooking
  • take 1/3 of your total fan leaves and cover with the cooking oil of your choice
  • simmer on low for 20-30 minutes - the colour of the oil will go from gold to bright green
  • strain and press to extract as much oil as possible
  • add the next 1/3 of your fan leaves to your infused cooking oil and top off with more oil as needed
  • simmer for 20-30 more minutes, then strain and press - goes from light green to dark green
  • add the final 1/3 of fan leaves to the infused cooking oil, top off with oil as needed, simmer for 20-30 minutes, strain and press
  • final result will be an oil that is almost black in colour
  • you can use fan leaves from a male plant
  • store in the refrigerator for up to 2 years - will depend on shelf life of the oil

This episode was inspired by the Ganja Mama and listener Steve. I loved the the Ganja Mama's lunch and how she used infused butters & sauces as a means to allow guests to medicate themselves during the meal. Then Steve emailed to say that he too, would love to see recipes like this on the show. It seems the people have spoken and an infused maple butter is a great place to start! Quick, easy and tasty, I used a potent cannabis oil to infuse this butter and keep the taste true.
