A South Surrey business owner has created an educational package that will teach first-time, or experienced cannabis consumers how to turn the weed into an edible candy.
Justin Lloyd launched a Campaign for The Edibles Kit, with a goal of raising $10,000. As of Sunday afternoon, the campaign raised nearly $700.
The kit teaches adults how to create THC-infused (the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis) butter, honey, coconut oil or candies.
The product, which comes in a rectangle box, includes instructions, candy molds, a candy thermometer and brush. It retails for $34.99.
Although the sale of edible cannabis products is illegal in Canada, adults are to make edibles themselves. The website sells dried flower as well as THC-infused oils, which can be used for cooking or baking.
does not include cannabis.
Lloyd said one of the problems with making, or even trying an edible cannabis product, is that there含羞草研究社檚 a risk with not knowing the potency.
含羞草研究社淚含羞草研究社檝e heard more often than not, people in college or university, having bad experiences. How common is that? The problem is that people will try it from people who had never made them before, or made them but made them far too potent.含羞草研究社�
Lloyd said his kit teaches an adult how to properly dose THC.
含羞草研究社淪o if they want a very mild candy or edible, lets say just to go to sleep or relax, this is what this does.含羞草研究社�
Lloyd said he saw the benefit of micro-dosing THC first-hand.
Lloyd said his grandmother, who is in her mid-80含羞草研究社檚, had a spinal fusion and as a result, has trouble sleeping.
含羞草研究社淪he never used cannabis in her life, never smoked it, ate it, anything,含羞草研究社� Lloyd said. 含羞草研究社淵ou know, the whole culture. I finally decided to ask her if she ever considered cannabis.含羞草研究社�
Lloyd suggested that he travel his grandmother含羞草研究社檚 house, stay at her place and make cannabis candy with her. He agreed to stay the night and sleep in the living room.
含羞草研究社淚 made sure to test the potency, obviously, because this is my grandma. Having tested it, I made it as mild as I could,含羞草研究社� he said.
When his grandmother began to feel tired, Lloyd suggested that she go to sleep, and come see him in the living room if she had any questions.
含羞草研究社淭he next morning she comes out and I含羞草研究社檓 biting my nails. I really hope my nanny is OK,含羞草研究社� Lloyd said.
含羞草研究社淪he came out and just smiled and said that含羞草研究社檚 the best sleep she had in 10 years, and she didn含羞草研究社檛 need her walker to take the garbage out.含羞草研究社�
Lloyd clarified that 含羞草研究社渂y no means,含羞草研究社� is he a doctor or recommending that people try THC.
含羞草研究社淏ut I do know that because it含羞草研究社檚 legal, if people know how to cook it properly if you have trouble sleeping 含羞草研究社� I含羞草研究社檝e witnessed it work.含羞草研究社�
