With winter here and the Christmas season upon us, there are plenty of Christmasy drinks and foods to be made. For those that like to be festive and drink lots of alcohol this time of year, I have located this recipe for cannabis infused Kaluha, which is a popular liquor for holiday drinks. Please enjoy responsibly!

 

What You'll Need

30 grams cannabis flowers

Cream

Sugar

15 ml vanilla extract

4 tsp instant coffee

Vodka

 

Keep in mind that this recipe will make about six bottles of this drink so be sure to adjust your amounts accordingly. Grind up your cannabis using a coffee grinder. Add the ground cannabis to a pan. Pour in 500ml of cream and simmer it for about 30 minutes. You can add in a bit of whole milk if you feel the need to, as some liquid is lost to steam. As always, be sure not to boil as you'll lose some of the THC that you're trying to extract. After the mix has simmered for half an hour, strain it in through a cheesecloth to a 750ml bottle. Pour in half a cup of sugar and add the vanilla extract. Then, put in the instant coffee. Now, fill the bottle to the top with the vodka and shake vigorously until everything is well mixed. Store in the refrigerator.

 

Drink Suggestion;

1.25oz cannakaluha

2 oz eggnog

Cinnamon/nutmeg/brown sugar mix

 

Rim the glass with the cinnamon/brown sugar/nutmeg mix. Add cannakaluha and eggnog to shaker with ice and shake together well. Strain over a few ice cubes in to the rimmed glass and enjoy!

Winter is here. Those that don't like coffee usually drink tea. How else will you warm yourself up on those biting cold days? Even those in California are feeling the effects of the brutal winters, with temps in normally mild areas dropping below 30. The best tea is obviously medicated tea and a Chai blend is perfect for the coldest night this winter.

 

What You'll Need;

Chai tea base (can be found at Walmart)

1 cup soy milk

2 chai tea bags

1/2 cup sugar

1 can whipped cream

3 1/2 cups water

1/4 cup of cannabis

 

Break up the weed first. You don't need a coffee grinder for this necessarily. Using your fingers will work fine. Carefully open the tea bags that you have ready and add in the weed. Reclose the bags by stapling them shut. In a pan on the stove, bring the water and soy milk to a boil and add about 1/2 cup of whipped cream in to the mix, letting it melt completely. Toss in the two teabags and let the whole mix sit on the stove for about 25 minutes.

 

Take the chai tea base and follow the instructions on the box. In place of the milk that the recipe calls for, use the weed/soy milk mix instead. This is the final step and will give you a nice, warming chai weed tea that you will absolutely enjoy! You can add more soy milk if you'd like, as well as ice and sugar. Remember to always know how cannabis effects you when ingesting it, as the effects different from smoking! Enjoy your chai!

Getting arrested for marijuana is no joke. Marijuana arrests result in fines, and can result in jail time, loss of driving privileges,  loss of college financial aid, forfeiture of assets, and many other penalties. I’ve only been caught with marijuana one time (half ounce, 2005), but since I live in Oregon where marijuana is decriminalized I only had to pay a fine ($500). I didn’t even have to go to a courtroom. I just had to go to the window at the Clackamas County Courthouse and pay my money.

 

Obviously had I been caught with a half ounce in Colorado or Washington today, there would be no penalty. I hope Oregon joins those states soon. Other places are not as friendly as Colorado or Washington. In some states you could be looking at serious time for just a dime bag. My cousin in Idaho got caught with a used marijuana pipe and had to serve six months in jail for.

 

Where in the United States are you most likely to get arrested for marijuana? According to an ACLU report from earlier this year, Washington D.C. had the highest rate of marijuana arrests. The report calculated for population size, so this is not the total amount of marijuana arrests in an area, it’s the highest rate of marijuana arrests per 100,000 citizens. New York State was second, Nebraska was third, Maryland was fourth, and Illinois ranked fifth.

 

In Washington D.C. if you get caught with any amount of marijuana, even less than one gram, the penalty is six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. That’s a brutal penalty for something as harmless as possessing a dime sack of marijuana. If you live in Washington D.C. and you consume marijuana, watch out. Obviously you want to proceed with caution no matter where you live outside of Washington State and Colorado, but be extra careful if you live in D.C.
