Note From Chef Carosi

Over time most of us have all thought of white chocolate as the 'dark horse' of chocolates while the entire time there have been several surprising health benefits we’ve never considered. White chocolate is derived from milk solids, cocoa butter and sugar.

Cocoa butter is derived from the cocoa plant which is known for its antioxidant qualities and the milk solids contain a good amount calcium. Just make sure that you are buying as high-quality white chocolate as you can purchase, and that you are not buying low-quality white chocolate made with palm oil. Combining the best quality white chocolate, green tea and cannabis can lead to some truly delightful results.

Aside from its presence in cannabis, phytol can also be found naturally in green teas, that's why matcha, gunpowder green tea and sencha are so calming. Several cannabis strains with high levels of phytol are Sour Diesel and The Cheese.

A few terpenes found in chocolate are linalool, myrcene and ocimene. These luscious low-dose cannabis treats will not last long and are loaded with naturally occurring phytol. They are also bursting with mellowing myrcene and fragrant geraniol to add to that natural dose of phytol. Saying that these chocolates are "super dope" would be putting it mildly. Enjoy the combination and get ready to make more, fast...

The Truth About THC Candle: Cannabis Candles & How to Make Your Own

There are several different ways to consume cannabis, and some of them don’t even involve actual consumption. Cannabis candles are beginning to take over the candle game, allowing cannabis enthusiasts to enjoy the smells they’re used to having to cover up and hide: the danky goodness of weed.

As cannabis becomes less stigmatized in modern culture, people are beginning to come out and admit to their cannabis use. While smoking weed used to be something people felt they had to keep on the down low, the culture is becoming increasingly mainstream and the scent is now sought after rather than condemned. Many cannabis candles feature complex scent profiles, including notes of amber, which contribute to a rich and layered aromatic experience.

Weed Makes Me Antisocial: Help!

Many people can relate to the experience of “hitting a wall” socially. Introverts, you especially know what I mean. But when self-enforced isolation is weed-induced, does that mean it’s time to reconsider a few habits or routines? Maybe even take a break from weed entirely?

Cannabis has long been negatively associated with laziness and haziness, and although that isn’t always the case with cannabis consumers, it also isn’t that far off from the truth if you haven’t optimized your regimen. Marijuana use, in particular, has occasionally been linked to various mental health and behavioral effects, such as anxiety, paranoia, and antisocial behavior, while also being linked to alleviating these same symptoms. So it's important to understand how cannabis works with and for your body and needs.
