This documentary provides a solid history of medical marijuana and will leave you scratching your head as to why prohibition continues to this day.

Brew your own Medical Marijuana Beer?

September 1, 2010

It won’t be as wicked as Cannabis Vodka, but brewing your MMJ in beer just might be possible.

According to the book, Marijuana Beer [Ed Rosenthal and the Unknown Brewer, Quick American Archives, Oakland, CA $14.95] and a rather lengthy review by Nuco Cordo a craft beer anarchist, it just might work. Although he criticizes the beer making expertise of the authors, Cordo does recommend the book for its explanations of preparing the marijuana.

OR “DON’T BOGART THAT BEER MY FRIEND”
Greg Kitsock describes a successful marijuana brew called Brain Death like this:
In fact, the beer was “dry­hemped” with flowers of the female marijuana plant, homegrown by an acquaintance in Texas. The alcohol and tetrahydrocannibanol (THC) made a mind­rattling combination.
At any rate, both articles point out the rather inexact use of Marijuana in beer. Probably too unpredictable for your medicinal use.
You would probably be better off with the measured use of a good quality portable medical vaporizer like the Green iOlite Vaporizer.

But skip the medical MMJ Beer and stick with some good ole Colorado beer? Nahhhh! Brew Your Own Beer.  Learn how to brew beer with BrewEasy.com!
