Edibles

Edibles are nothing new in the pantheon of great ways to ingest cannabis, but just about anyone who has walked into a decent medical marijuana dispensary in the last year could tell you that edibles have gone way beyond simple pot brownies.

With medicated cookies, brownies, pixie stixx, olive oil, and breath strips now available for medical marijuana patients, it’s not a big leap to imagine medicated mixed drinks.

There are several good brands out there that can provide a consistent buzz with a good taste. Some of my favorites include Dixie Elixirs and Canna Punch, both which have different flavors and different strengths depending on your mood and necessary dose. I recently got to try one of Keef Cola’s Flo Energy drinks and was impressed by the good taste and strong, energetic feeling that was great for a long, active day outside.

We already have a great series here at Weedist on Great Recipes While High, but I’ve got a slightly different recipe idea of my own here: recipes that get two birds stoned by getting you medicated while you enjoy something tasty.

The formula for making a medicated mixed drink is simple: take your medicated beverage of choice, either obtained from a medical marijuana dispensary or (if you’re really good) made from your own medicated drink and mix it with your favorite liquor.

I’ve tried before that are great for a tasty and efficient adult beverage. I prefer dark liquor like whiskey and rum mixed with the 200 mg Sons of Sativa Canna Punch. I did mix vodka with some Dixie Elixir Blueberry once and have to say that it was pleasantly sweet and refreshing.

Wana “Kool Abe” drink mixes are actually some of the best medicated drinks because they’re just basically single packets of cool aid mix with 50 mg of THC. Because they come in tropical punch, grape, cherry, and especially lemonade, you can pretty much mix a packet with just about anything. I recently put a lemonade packet in my juice smoothie (that had some of my own trim to get the benefit of juicing cannabis) and it covered up that nasty weed taste impeccably.

So if you’re ever in a pinch and you want a cheap medicated cocktail, just imagine what you can do with a packet of grape cool aid mix and, say, the cheapest whiskey you can find.

Just mix a packet of of this with your favorite anything…

I made a few whiskey and Chai High Tea drinks, which is about as heavy as you go for medicated drinks. With a ridiculous 316 mg of THC in each bottle, even just a little bit in a highball glass with ice was still no joke. A friend had just a sip, after which he said ‘I feel like just that 1 sip was probably too much for tonight for me.’

Here’s how I made this one, which I’m dubbing “Prospero’s Drank”:
(in the biggest glass you have, in this case my beer stein)..
-2 shots of Buffalo Trace Whisky
-1 packet of Wana Cherry Drink Mix
-A decent amount of Ginger Ale, to taste
-A decent amount of cold water, to taste
