Eating and Drinking Hemp has long been part of human life. In the past, eating hemp seed for nutrition was very important for balanced health, but eating and drinking hemp for its psychotropic effects has been popular as well. Here we shall explore both aspects of eating and drinking hemp, for balanced nutrition as well as psychotropic effects.
Nutritional Recipes Hemp is a very flexible and easy to use ingredient, that is wonderfully nutrient, and can be utilized for almost any meal or snack.
Preparing Hemp Seed/Oil for Consumption:
Oils and hulled seeds should not be heated to high temperatures due to low smoke point, as well as destruction of nutritional benefits.
Clean the seeds. Make sure there is no foreign matter in your seed mix.
-In water, dead seeds will sink.
Let the seeds dry naturally or use a hemp towel to dry them out(only slightly)
Sterilized seeds do not contain the same nutritional value as non-sterilized seeds, but are still tasty. Oils which use sterilized seeds will go rancid much quicker than regular seeds.

This diversity in traditional recipes comes from a plant that many different cultures have agreed is safe and beneficial. It is only in modern times when hemp has been part of a drug culture that demonized it, and created a void in our own cultures and civilizations.
Psychotropic Recipes
Cannabiniods and other active ingredients are fat and alcohol soluble, and so there are many ways to prepare cannabis for consumption. By entering the body via the digestive tract rather than through the lungs, the intoxication effects are slower, but also more complete. In addition the consumption of heated smoke into the lungs is completely eminitated, thus this method is favoured by many people.
The easiest way to eat cannabis is simply by eating the unprepared leaves or buds. It is a common misconsumption that cannabis must be heated before consumption in order to activate the cannabinoids. Amoung the most popular method of preparing cannabis for consumption is by using fats and alcohol, and cooking to extract the essential oils. The process of cooking to extract the maximum amount of cannabinoids and other chemicals, into food and having the food consumable in a pleasant manner, is certainly a form of art.
“Magic Brownies”
‘Magic Brownies’ is a term to describe brownies mixed with hashish or raw cannabis. It is well known throughout the marijuana user culture, as they are simple way to cook to extract the psychotropic properties of hemp.

To make a healthy and psychotropic butter, use hemp butter as the base to your bud butter. All the benefits of hemp in one butter. Typically, you would simmer 100grams of hemp butter, with 5grams(or more) of finely grinded bud or hash, for about 15-20minutes. If a lot of bud is used, the butter will turn a slight green colour from the bud, otherwise it will be pale with speckles. Than squeeze the butter through a fine strainer, obtaining as much butter as possible. Bud butter can be used in any recipe that requires butter such as Brownies, Vegetables or even sliced bread.
