Decarboxylation Guide for Cannabis Recipes

Before you mix your cannabis into that delicious smoothie, there’s something super important to know: decarboxylation. It’s the magic trick to activate the THC and CBD in your weed. That’s right, without this step, the smoothie won’t have all the power you expect! because the cannabinoids are not in their optimal chemical form for ingested consumption.

What is decarboxylation? It is basically heating the marijuana at a low temperature, as if you were giving it a sun bath. This process converts THCA into THC.

Recipe for 3 delicious marijuana smoothies

Always healthy and delicious, smoothies are always a great option to have a healthy drink at hand, in this case we tell you how to prepare smoothies with marijuana and different fruits. Before we continue, we are going to explainhow to prepare marijuana leaf or bud flour, the main and indispensable ingredient of these three recipes.

Marijuana leaf flour

To make marijuana leaf flour, first clean the weed of twigs and other woody debris. It should be dry and crumble when crushed. If it is not dry, put it in the oven at 100°C for 15 minutes or in a microwave for one or two minutes. Next, pass the weed through a grinder or other grinding device, such as a flour grinder.

The grinder will grind the marijuana with a coffee grinder, which reduces it to a fine powder. After this, pass the powder through a flour sieve to remove any woody debris. Store the flour in the fridge or freezer.

When grinding marijuana, a white powder can be produced, especially if the marijuana is very dry. Rather than powder, this is actually the capitate glands, the potent part of the weed. Be careful when handling it, let the powder settle before opening the grinder or grinder, and collect any powder that may escape.

Bud flour

To turn the buds into flour, the flowers need to be very dry. Make the flowers crisp by putting them in the microwave for a couple of minutes, or for ten minutes in an oven at 150°C. When the buds have cooled they should be crisp. Then separate the flowers from the stems and grind them. A coffee grinder is handy and can easily grind moderate amounts of cannabis flowers. Another method of preparing bud is to separate the flowers from the woody material and put them through a blender. Then add the liquid from a recipe, preferably with some alcohol or oil, and puree. The alcohol and oil help to dissolve the glands containing the THC.

Marijuana, fruit and cocoa smoothie (psychoactive)

Ingredients (for two people): 2-4 g marijuana bud leaf flour 500 ml of milk 1 banana cut into slices 2 peaches4 teaspoons of cocoa powder 1 teaspoon of ground hemp seeds

Preparation: Heat the milk, marijuana leaf flour and cocoa in a saucepan, but do not bring to the boil. When the cocoa is well dissolved, turn off the heat, add the ground hemp seeds, stir and leave to cool. Put the peeled and chopped banana and peaches into the blender, along with the milk mixture. Blend well. Place in the fridge for at least half an hour before serving.

Exotic (psychoactive) marijuana smoothie

Ingredients (for two people): 2-4 g marijuana leaf or bud flour 150 ml papaya pulp 150 ml pineapple juice 150 ml yoghurt 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation: First mix the yoghurt with the marijuana, blend it well and leave it to stand. Then peel the papaya and mash the pulp with a fork or in a food processor. Mix it with the rest of the ingredients, including the “flavoured” yoghurt, and blend it all together. Pour into two large glasses and chill in the fridge.

Marijuana, mango and ginger smoothie (psychoactive)

Ingredients (for two people): 2-4 g marijuana bud leaf flour 250 ml yoghurt 200 ml water 50 ml milk 2 teaspoons grated ginger 2 mangoes a pinch of nutmeg

Preparation: Pour the water into a saucepan and bring it to the boil. When it boils, add the grated ginger root, boil for half a minute and turn off the heat. Add the milk and marijuana flour. Mix well and let it stand for five minutes. Then filter and leave to cool. In the meantime, peel and core the mangoes, chop them and put them in the blender with the yoghurt and the previous mixture, now cooled. Blend well, serve in two large glasses and grate a little nutmeg over the top.

Pairing with other foods

Now that you’ve got your cannabis smoothie ready, it’s time to give it an even tastier twist by pairing it with other foods! For starters, fruit smoothies like mango or pineapple go great with something crunchy like whole grain crackers, or if you want a milder option, try plain yoghurt. The combination of textures is a real treat and enhances both the smoothie’s flavour and its effects.

If exotic flavours are more your thing, add a touch of ginger or mint to your smoothie for an unbeatable freshness. Pair it with a few slices of avocado or even a couple of slices of banana for a tropical punch that will make you feel like you’re on a faraway beach.

For those with a sweet tooth, combining a red berry smoothie with a cannabis brownie takes the experience to the next level. But be careful, you have to take it easy here! Better to enjoy a single brownie and savour it well with your smoothie, as the combination can take you a long way in terms of effects.

Pairing not only enhances the flavours, it can also make the effects of the shake feel more balanced. So experiment and find your favourite combinations – the key is to enjoy every sip and every bite!

Possible Effects and Safety Tips

Before you jump into enjoying those delicious cannabis smoothies, it’s good to keep in mind some tips to get the most out of them without any scares. Although smoothies are all about positive vibes, they can also surprise you if you’re not well prepared. Here’s everything you need to know!

Slower but lasting effect: Keep in mind that when consuming marijuana in smoothies, the effects take a little longer to appear (between 30 minutes and 2 hours), but when they come, they come good, and they stay for a good while. So, have a drink, put on some reggae music and wait for the good vibes to start flowing.

🌡️ Be careful with doses: A common mistake is to get impatient and take too much. Take it easy! Start with a small dose and wait to see how you feel. It’s better to take it slowly than to overdo it – remember that peace of mind is key!

Don’t mix with alcohol: Although it may sound tempting, mixing cannabis with alcohol can amplify the effects of both substances, and not always in a fun way! Avoid mixing smoothies with alcoholic beverages, and keep the vibe relaxed and positive.

Stay at home: The best thing about cannabis smoothies is to enjoy them in a safe and chill environment. Avoid driving or activities that require a lot of concentration – there’s nothing better than relaxing on the couch, watching a good movie or listening to your favourite reggae! 🛋️🎬

By following these tips, you will enjoy your cannabis smoothie to the fullest, safely and without surprises.
