It's common, and generally not prosecuted, but still not legal.

I like pot as much as the next person, but the dealing of a "medical" product is far to much like just getting ripped legally.

Maybe I should do a better job of filtering the cannabis butter and being more patient in the 45 minute to 2 hour "time release" but then it's fun to take a giant eraser (http://www.greatbigstuff.com/eraser.html) to the day once in a while. (I hope the Chef's individual serving size is maximized to small village sized measurements). The only way I’ve come close to thinking I’m “overdosing” on weed is when I eat it.

I forgot that I had about three grams (pre-stemmed) of the best bud I had ever had in my pocket. Right in front of the row of customs officials, I choked it down with a bit of water.

It has to be cooked with a fat (usually butter) for the right chemical reaction.. Sorry! Placebo effects are fun however. Sucks you wasted that great bud. Umm..

It may be in how to books...how to grow..., having extra info on making cooking oils etc. . The Internet has it all, not hard to find. Being a chef and understanding the science behind cooking and the science behind cannabis, putting those together, will help you tremendously. There are many different strains and flavors, so this opens up a wide variety of spices (cannabis). Just like salt, onions, garlic, pepper etc, . your going to have to know what kind of flavor (strain, cannabis) that you are going to use to bring out the flavor of the strain and dish you are making. This could add up to lots of money. Good Luck! Also check with where it is legal....Amsterdam, The Netherlands Oaksterdam,Cali....
