Sweet!

Numbers don’t lie!!!

HAPPY 4/20 everyone!!! Yes I know it’s late but…I’m a stoner…so this is when I can get to it…LOL! I just thought that it has been a long time since I have been on here and this being our Important Holiday and all…I should be here! =)

I wanted to share a couple of quick recipes that are simple and easy to make with a little CANNA PB Budder ;)

I make this because it’s fast, yummy, easy and versatile.

It just takes three simple ingredients:

Peanut butter (I like the Laura Scudder’s Unsalted Peanut Butter…it just has a really nice PB taste without sugar because you will be adding sugar to the recipe)
Powdered sugar
Cannabutter

I just mix around Peanut Butter with as much cannabutter that I have and powdered sugar until I have the right consistency.

*Something to think about when making this recipe…the more Peanut butter you add to your cannabutter the more it “thins the butter out and dilutes the potency…” The idea behind this method is to make a good tasting butter to put onto things…so if you put tooo much PB in the recipe you will have to compensate with a ton of sugar and then you will have to eat a LOAD of this stuff for it to have an effect. So #MOLARITY! LOL! Keep that in mind when mixing it up.

Some of you want exact measurements…sorry…just gonna have to “make it up…stoner style…” and play around until you find the right “DOSAGE” FOR YOU.

Other ways to enjoy this PB Fluff:

Put it on Waffles
It’s make up is of a frosting consistancy so why not frost a cake or cupcakes?
Add it to a Smoothie with bananas
Add it to a Milkshake
Add to your bowl of ice cream with a little milk (*pictured above…yum)
Put it on Toast
PB and Jelly Sandwich
Use this to substitute for butter in a brownie or cookie mix
Put it on a spoon and just eat

I actually have scooped it out with disposable spoons and then wrapped with saran wrap and put it in the fridge…it hardens a bit and they are awesome to pop in you bag for the park or wherever!

Enjoy! Hope you are having a great 420…I know I am!!!

Peace and LOVE!

OCPM

420 isn’t just about getting high, it’s about having the freedom to do so.

And that’s the #truth!

Wow…who likes pot?! :)

Made some very interesting Christmas Peppermint candy cookies..

Hello.. I'm sorry if you've answered this before, but what is it like in a dispensary? I've been thinking about getting my medical marijuana card and I just want to know what it's like your first time in one. Do you go in knowing what kind you should get? Are people who work there generally friendly?

ocpotmama Said:

First and foremost…thanks for stopping by and having a question for me. The smartest and happiest thing I got for Christmas a couple of years ago was my Medical Marijuana card. Every year I am happy to spend the money for that on myself. It allows me to easily get my medication.

I remember the first time I went to the dispensary, I was scared because I really only knew that when I smoked marijuana I felt better. I didn’t really have any idea what kind I liked or that there were so many different kinds. I went in and just told them it was my first time. Most budtenders are stoners too who just want to help you find your bud. I would explain why you need marijuana if it is for a certain medical reason like anxiety or pain relief. I would also tell them what you want in your smoke… relaxing and chill or more uplifted and motivating. Indica Strains tend to effect the body more physically ie ”couchlock”…as Sativa strains are known to be more of a cerebral and mind buzz. I would suggest buying an 1/8 of an ounce and get half of an Indica (try at night) strain and then choose a nice Sativa (to try during the day).

I would not become only a Sativa or only an Indica Smoker because there are some great Hybrids to try too!

Sidenote… I would google medical uses and marijuana strains if you are looking for a particular type ie…OCD: Strawberry Cough or downloading a couple of the different weed apps on the market to find our more about strains… knowledge is POWER!!!! good luck!!!

ps. edibles are a great option too… try some out… =)

pss and what is it like in a dispensary….????

I have realized that it is a different experience and vibe in each dispensary, just like any business I guess. Some are run very much like a corporate business and some are in a one room building. Some have security guards and some just have a door that they buzz you in. Some you must be buzzed in. Some you can just walk in, Then buzzed into the back room to select your herb. Some have just marijuana and a couple of edibles. Other dispensaries have branched out and have glassware, papers, lighters, cannabis, ice cream, popcorn, cannabutter, lollipops, coffee, tea, chocolate bars, chocolate truffles, snickerdoodles, spacecakes, rice crispy squares, sodas, ice creams, mint patties and don’t forget, lotions, oils, soaps and Hash too! Yah…..IT’S AWESOME.

oops okay i asked the question about what it's like in a dispensary and i just saw the little page you have in the info bar so nevermind and thank you!

ocpotmama Said:

LOL… I think I started to write it…but never finished… and I haven’t answered this before…in fact you are my first question =)… going to answer it for you tho.. =) going to answer on the other question…

OCPM

Strain: White Widow

Hybrid: Sativa Dominant

Looks: Nice green color with light brown trichromes throughout and white “frosty” crystals on the buds, nice fluffy nuggets easy to break up on the fly.

Smells: Very rich sweet aromatic smell, hints of spicy citrus.

Tastes: Not a strong flavor but an easy smoke.

Buzz like: Mind feels ready to get things done. At 11:16am I am in mid project… making my cannabutter!!! So far very happy and depression is not there. I can think strait. Going back to cooking… I will report back in a bit. 12:15pm Finished the cannabutter… cleaned the kitchen, washed the dishes now onto the rest of my chores…but I am happily cleaning. Gatta keep going!

Buzz length: Started at 10:50am, 12:15pm Still feeling great! A great Day-time smoke. Very motivational. Left at 1:15pm to run errands… slowly came down…no crash. 2-2.5 hours Long.

Overall: I enjoyed this bud! White Widow didn’t disappoint! I felt more of a cerebral buzz rather than body, but for all of the things I accomplished…it was just the right catalyst to get it all going!

Good for: Day-to-day tasks, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Socialization, Pain relief, Arthritis, Migraines, Nausea, Anorexia and Diabetes.

Strain : Stonehenge

Hybrid: Sativa Dominant

[If I could rename =) Stonehedge it could be nicknamed “7th Wonder” “wow” 7wow rieviewed at 10:00pm 11/30/11
One of the 7th wonders of the world!]

Looks: Earthy green buds loaded with brown trichromes and leaves covered in small crystals

Smells: Of a sweet flower bouquet - Imagine that at your wedding! LOL

Tastes: Slightly spicy but very smooth… and enjoyable. The spice taste is so reminiscent of Christmas… I would suggest this as a great “holiday smoke” with hints of cinnamon to be paired with a hot delicious apple pie! =)

Buzz like: As I smoke.. I want to start to work on things… I have to say in a minute…I continue to smoke… so maybe might not need to smoke as much? I continue to smoke more… =) what stoner wouldn’t… I feel like the same amount should be smoked each time to keep the results accurate and true.

Sidenote: (Medical note) I have an closed up ear on my left side… when I smoke and my one ear is plugged I can’t taste… but if I hold open my ear and smoke I CANnabis TASTE IT. Weird huh…

Any medical reactions: (ie runny nose, sinus’ cleared etc anything happen physically that you can tell that has been corrected by the marijuana?) My nose cleared up. I feel clearer. My fingers are tapping faster and are much more accurate. LOL as I thought of that and then wrote it I had a million typos..Ok not accurate but they are damn fast! I like!

Buzz Length: 2.5 - 3.0 Long

Overall: I really enjoyed this strain…My mind was racing with fantastic ideas! It will be one of my go to strains! I felt like I could think, laugh, smile, work and be happy. That for me is a perfect anti-depression bud. It’s safe and natural and it works….

Good For: Writing, Thinking, Day-time, Night-time, with Green Eggs and Ham! LOL, Socialization, Anxiety, Depression, Anorexia, Being happy, Inflammation, Pain relief, Nausea, Glaucoma and Migraines.

Strain : Afgoo
Indica

Looks: Dark green nuggets with a light dusting of crystals and trichromes covering the bud

Smells: Fruit and flowers with a hint of Pine…

Tastes: The taste is oaky with pine and a really nice earthy green taste… When I close my eyes, I am walking in a BRIGHTLY LIT forest…and it’s lovely…and smells great…I think sometimes buds can bring you to the spot where they were planted… I could paint this picture that I see…

Buzz like: I feel it in both my body and my head… euphoric, like I’m buzzing ready to go! My face and ears feel warmer… and I’m hoping that’s a good thing because I’m coming out of a bad ear infection. Heal my ear lovely herb.

Buzz Length: 1.5- 2.0 Medium

Overall: My appetite did increase which was wonderful as I have been having a low desire for food. A little dry mouth. I felt no pain, relaxed and calm.

Good For: Relaxing, enjoying family time, watching a movie with a friend… good for mind, body and soul! Medical uses are for Pain relief, Insomnia, Anxiety, Stress and Migraines.

Made a little butter ;)

I feel like such a Newbie!

Hey there… I feel like such a newbie! I finally have my wish come true, to have a chance to play around with recipes and try to come up with a great product but I am overwhelmed by the realization…I really don’t know anything!!!! LOL!

I set up this space to find Support, offer my real life story as a Testimony to Cannabis’ healing properties and medicinal value and talk about using Medical Marijuana in place of western medicines used for Anxiety and Depression. I wanted to find connections with other moms out there like me. I guess what I realized is that it’s not just MOMS…its everyone. It’s Dads, Parents, Family members, Grandmothers, Best friends and there is an online community of supporters from places all over the world. We are not alone.

Something I think would help parents or people who have to take their medicine but don’t have time to smoke, or have the ability to smoke or for so many other reasons! is a regulated dosage system of edibles that is made with quality products, spot on concentration you can depend on and that is easy to take. And of course Strain Specific would be nice. No muss no fuss! =)

That is what I plan on trying to create. I really do believe in Cannabis. Consistency is the key. I find that stigma and situations of not having time keep me from being able to regularly take my MMJ to keep me level. So if I could solve this for myself…I think it could help others. If you have an idea or a great recipe that you know of please share. Thanks for reading…ttys!

My goal is to learn more today about cooking with marijuana and have some idea or direction of where I want to go from here! =)

Guitar Life Lessons

Tonight Nov. 10th
Cousin: Hey remember I have that guitar you said you would help me re-string and learn...are you ready to teach me?
Me: Yes! Oh This will be fun! (I scream out to him as he runs off...now cut to me sitting on my couch thinking about how I am going to show him how to re-string the guitar and then tune it by ear the way I do...LOL)
Cousin: (Running down with both of our guitars...whosshing into my hand my guitar went...his was already restrung!) I'm all ready. I went to the music store. I got the strings and this digital tuning gadget and I came home and YouTube "How to string a guitar..." and I'm ready to learn.
Me: Wow look at what the internet can do when you are motivated! Awesome... (also thinking...yep...it's Genetic to be a self-taught know-it-all and Was he going to let me teach him?)
Cousin: So I want to learn this song...
Me: How does it go...?
Cousin: I don't know you need to teach me but so far I have learned this from a Youtube video...
Me: (I listen...and I can hear it...so I start to sing along with the song but end up mumbling because I never know any words...and yes it sounded good...but it's a simple song and we are just barely starting) So I say, "Sounds nice!"
Cousin: So, what would you like to play...
Me: (I strum, and it sounds in my head like one of those Jack In the Boxes scary clowns jumping out and go crazy and all of their parts break and pop off...) "Squizcboinhg! Ahhh!!! Cousin!!! This doesn't sound right...I don't think I can teach you anything right now." We test it again with the digital tuning...finally fix it...but it was enough to tell me I need to learn more about my guitar if I can put a #positive spin on that moment.
Me: I sat back and let him guide it...I helped him see importance of finger placement, and showed him where he can learn to read tabs. We discussed what he could do for his double jointed thumb when gripping the neck???? any Ideas to help hold? I ultimately showed him a thing or two I think. =) and if not, we shared a moment! At the end of the lesson, I unleashed my laptop off of its chain to the wall outlet and we used it as a Laptop #novelidea it really was #movable =) and I showed him how he could really learn by checking out: Songsterr.com .
Songsterr.com is an amazing site in my opinion. There is a Free version that shows you tabs on songs for free...you can hear the proper timing, and there are many great features. I once opted for the paid version which if I really think about it...it was $29.99 for 3 months. But it allowed you to select an area of the music and just replay that piece over and over in order to help you master it faster. You can also print (which I didn't take advantage of because of no ink too much $$$), You can slow it down to half speed, which I think is the best feature of the paid version...also enlarge to full screen which keeps in time! A definite must for all MUSIC making fans!
All in all I learned that we can learn anything if we are motivated by Our Truth and Passion for Life and if we do the research. (With the internet and smartphones...we are really in an amazing technologically connected time....take advantage of it.... #www ) But the biggest lesson to learn though is you must be open and put yourself out there. If you want it. Go for it. I've said it before, I'll say it again..., "Be the catalyst!" GET INTO THE MIX AND MOVE! Actively BE Somebody. Who do you want to be?

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” George Bernard Shaw

Wow! What a powerful Picture! Being a PotMama has helped me increase my awareness over my words with my kids. This is a huge part of my life that I want to focus on to make right them. I grew up in a household where kids were a bothersome. Sarcasm, mean nasty words and negative thoughts were given out daily…It is something that I recognize I have the potential for, but also something that with Awareness I won’t let happen. No medicine in the world stops you from being angry or spewing negativity…You must see how it manifest, You must acknowledge that you have power over emotions, take responsibility and remember to Breathe! =) LOVE YOURSELF for being human =) and keep going! You will get there if you have a path!
