Cannabis cafes making ganja gourmet food

A number of marijuana restaurants have sprung up after weed was decriminalised for medical use in some US states.

There’s even a TV show called Cannabis Planet showing viewers how to add pot to meals such as shrimp capellini and teriyaki chicken.

Many health-conscious patients say they would rather eat the drug than smoke it, and they would prefer to eat something other than sugary treats.

‘When I started using marijuana, I was eating a brownie every day. I gained a ton of weight,’ said Michael DeLao, a former hotel chef who hosts the Cannabis Planet TV show in Los Angeles.

‘Then I learned how to really cook with marijuana and once more people learn about all the possibilities, we’re going to see a lot more people wanting this in their food,’ he added.

In Denver, Colorado, a new medical marijuana eatery called Ganja Gourmet serves lasagna (LaGanja), Panama Red Pizza and an olive tapenade called ganjanade, along with sweets such as cheesecake, muffins and brownies.

All patrons must show a medical card that proves they have a doctor’s permission to use pot for some kind of ailment. ‘The food is really good,’ said customer Jamie Hillyer.

Chefs say it takes 20 minutes to two hours for the pot-laced meal to produce a high and, if patrons each too much, they feel sluggish. So, at Ganja Gourmet, customers are allowed to eat only one menu item every 45 minutes.

But the craze could be short-lived. Denver’s city council wants to ban marijuana being smoked or eaten in restaurants.

Study Confirms That Cannabis Is Beneficial for Multiple Sclerosis

Cannabis can reduce spasticity in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. A systematic review, published in the open access journal BMC Neurology, found that five out six randomized controlled trials reported a reduction in spasticity and an improvement in mobility.

Shaheen Lakhan and Marie Rowland from the Global Neuroscience Initiative Foundation, Los Angeles, USA, searched for trials evaluating the cannabis extracts delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). According to Lakhan, "We found evidence that combined THC and CBD extracts may provide therapeutic benefit for MS spasticity symptoms."

Spasticity, involuntary muscle tension or contraction, is a common symptom of MS. Many existing therapies for this symptom are ineffective, difficult to obtain, or associated with intolerable side effects. In this study, reported incidence of side effects from cannabis, such as intoxication, varied greatly depending on the amount of cannabis needed to effectively limit spasticity, but the researchers note that side effects were also seen in the placebo groups. They add, "Considering the distress and limitations spasticity brings to individuals with MS, it is important to carefully weigh the potential for side effects with the potential for symptom relief."
Lakhan concludes, "The therapeutic potential of cannabinoids in MS is comprehensive and should be given considerable attention."
