The Official High Times Cannabis Cookbook

Culinary cannabis offers a lot more than the brownie!


Review by Gayle B. Olson

In 1984 I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, an incurable affliction of the digestive system. Many decades later, and after dozens of pharmaceutical trials later my primary physician suggested medical cannabis. Thankfully we finally found a therapy that worked, keeping my disease in check for the most part of three years and counting. In my situation I have discovered that consuming cannabis edibles works best as a delivery system. The Official High Times Cannabis Cookbook promises a delicious selection of more than 50 irresistible recipes that will certainly make you feel much better, and likely a littler higher!
Author Elise McDonough and the Editors of High Times Magazine have put together an eclectic menu of more than 50 high-loving recipes in this 160-page cook book!
From appetizers and munchies, to meals, holiday favorites, sweets and beverages, this book covers everything you will need for a unique dinner party or even a night in with a few close friends.
