I had a friend in similar circumstance get great results using it in the filling of a butternut squash ravioli. Best wishes.

I have yet to give this a try, but everyone I know who has success with it says what @nalega said: THC is fat soluble, so it should work in infused oil or a "special" compound butter in any recipe that calls for it.

I would look for things that can be made and kept so that you don't have to make a full batch of something that can go bad if not eaten quickly enough. You could roll cookie dough into a log and slice off a cookie or two at a time to bake in the toaster oven, or you could look to heartier/healthier baked goods like bran muffins (or any recipe that requires or could take decent quanities or butter or other oils). Best of luck ... and do report back :)

MM is presumably in tablet form. I've given it to patients.

@lemons - medical marijuana is just high grade pot, that is allowed by their state to be dispensed to patients for whom it will be beneficial, such as people with AIDS or those undergoing treatment for cancer, among other things. It is in it's natural unprocessed, smokable form, which, despite efforts by the pharmaceutical industry, is still the best way to deliver the drug.

DO NOT USE POT BUTTER TO BASTE MEATS! I had one of the worst (albeit VERY stoned) Thanksgiving dinners in my life because one of my friends thought it would be cool to get everyone "baked" on baked poultry.
I will say that his wild rice-sausage-pot-rosemary stuffing was phenominal.

Rent season 1 of "Weeds". In the bonus features there are various recipes for pot filled goodies (I remember popcorn balls that sounded yummy). I don't know if there are more on the other seasons because I never got around to watching them.

Thanks to everyone, I really love the idea of adding baby food and shredded veggies as an added boost in nutrients. This is not only for added wieght gain, it also reduces nausea, helps sleep and reduces pain. It is such a challenge to try to keep someone healthy when going through chemo. The more nutrition packed food I can get him to eat, the better he feels. Maybe we can beat this! :)

Thanks to all of you, great ideas.

Basically, since you're extracting the thc and I am assuming sieving the actual marijuana out, you just to kind of look at what you'd use melted butter in that would be reasonably healthy and caloric. I'd say stuff like mashed sweet potatoes and butternut squash would be definite goto's. Loaded with vitamins and delicious, and the herbiness would actually lend a nice flavor. I would definitely look into bean spreads with toasted pita also.

As an aside, a very good friend of mine is in a similar situation. He lives in a medical marijuana state,but he doesn't have much money so his health needs are met by the VA. In that it's a government organization, they won't even discuss the matter with him. He's old and afraid of getting mugged on the street trying to buy it from street dealers, so he's stuck. He's usually in a lot of pain, he can't sleep, he can't eat. It will probably be this way for him until he dies. Your friend is so lucky to have this as an option. Medical marijuana can make a huge difference in quality of life and treatment.

to echo what a lot of commenters said, THC is fat soluble so you can't truly have a SUPER nutritional dish (that is, fat free) if you want to make the most of your THC. I would say make an olive oil or a butter, you said you've done that already, and just cook freely with it. A WORD OF WARNING: medical grade marijuana is extremely potent and its potency is increased significantly when eaten. if this person doesn't like to get "too stoned" then use sparingly. eating too much THC can result in a trip that many people find way too intense, feelings of disassociation, auditory hallucinations (i've heard monkeys screaming and bells ringing) which can occasionally lead to flipping the f*ck out, or as hunter s. calls it, "the fear".

Use a slow cooker and infuse oil for at least an hour. You can then make whatever you want to.

chisai, you said "He's old and afraid of getting mugged on the street trying to buy it from street dealers, so he's stuck. "

I know I'm late to this thread, but I hope you read this. He's probably not stuck. These days, few people have to take the risk of buying weed out on the street corners.

Your friend most likely has someone in his social circle, or a younger relative, that can make it happen. Weed is very common now, as evidenced by the number and type of places where you can buy rolling papers. Mom and pop stores and major supermarkets frequently carry papers, and the boxes are not covered in dust--the product moves!

If your friend asks around, and has his younger relatives ask around, he'll likely be able to buy weed safely.

For the record, I'm 61 years old. Been smoking over 40 years. I'm a corporate VP. I haven't bought weed on the street since I was 20. Good luck!

@ chisai, I feel terrible hearing about your friend in need. I haven't done this in a while, but I used to take the chance and prebake THC-laced goodies and mail them to an ailing friend (at a PO Box without a return address) frequently without any trouble. It's not something I do now, so I don't know all the legal ramifications, but it worked a couple years ago.

Junior mints in the brownie recipie......

If the question is what to make with the butter-- Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are delicious! but any quick breads are great for taste pleasure as well as nutritional value-- try carrot, zucchini, apple, banana, apricot,,, add nuts for healthy fats & protein.

If the concern is what to eat in general-- quite often, sick people do not feel like eating. I am recovering from an eating disorder, and have almost no hunger cues & feel full quickly, so the trick is to consume high-calorie low-density foods to make weight-gain easier. Find tasty ways to pack in calories, fat & nutrients-- smoothies are the best-- include icecream, cream, or high-cal nondairy milks (soy, almond) for easy-to-drink calories, nut/seed butters, flax, walnut, or coconut oil for fats, antioxidant-rich berries, probiotic yogurt...

The only thing I would add, which is probably something you totally know already, is, if possible, try to steer clear of simple sugars. This advice is strictly coming from a cancer diet perspective, and not a mm perspective. But since a lot of these tasty treats can be high in sugar, I thought I would chime in.

The way the docs explained it to me was that, a very watered down explanation of what a PET scan is, which is often used in cancer imaging these days, is that it's basically a mapping of glucose uptake. I mean, I guess it's intuitive: cells that are multiplying fast need energy to do so, and the simplest way for them to get it, is from simple sugars. (Yes, they get it other ways, too, but processed simple sugar is the cheapest, fastest way for the cells to get it.) So, if you can provide a diet that is rich in nutrition, and scant on processed sugar, then you're helping the body stay healthy, but you're not making the cancer's growth any easier.

Anyway, this is the theory that I learned from my parents' oncologists and nutritionists, and was a cornerstone of our family's eating habits when they had cancer.

Then again, eating sugar is better than not eating at all! So that advice gets thrown out the window when circumstances require.

I hope this isn't totally redundant to things you already know; and I hope it's helpful! Good luck!
