Medical Marijuana Beverages and Marijuana Alcohol have become very popular with marijuana dispensaries and patients, as cannabinoids dissolve well in alcohol. There are a few ways to prepare these beverages.

Most Common Ways to Make Medical Marijuana Beverages

Probably one of the easiest ways to process your leaf and buds is to make marijuana alcohol, which then can be used to create an intoxicating and mouthwatering array of beverages. For best results, marijuana alcohol should be prepared two full weeks before using. Generally, the stronger the alcohol content the better. Grain alcohol is pure alcohol-odorless, tasteless, and very potent. At 190 proof, grain alcohol makes an extremely strong brew that I recommend only be used in moderation. I personally prefer to use vodka. Most mid-level vodkas are now triple-filtered, which helps to make them purer. Fewer impurities mean less of a hangover.

Recipes for Medical Marijuana Beverages with Alcohol

Use this guide in each of the following beverage recipes:

1. Take 1 bottle of vodka and drain approximately a quarter of the liquid.

2. Use either ground up buds or using leaves that have been trimmed free of stems.

3. Store this mixture in a cool dark place, allowing at least 1 week for the cannabinoids to dissolve.

I recommend waiting 2 full weeks to ensure the maximum effect. You can substitute vodka with your liquor of choice.

Recommended Dosage: 1-2oz. per drink.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 5 minutes to mix, 1to 2 Weeks to dissolve.

Milk is an excellent medium for extracting THC from your buds or leafs. I like to add Honey to my milk for flavor. Milk can be frozen for up to 3 months, so feel free and make a huge batch!

Directions:

1. Add 4 cups of milk and 1 spoon of honey to a pan and heat on a low heat until almost boiling.

2. Add 2 grams of finely chopped marijuana bud or leaf and set heat to low.

3. Simmer at the low heat for at least 1 half hour while stirring regularly.

4. Make sure that the milk does not boil.
