Long gone are the days when baking with marijuana meant throwing a bunch of weed into a bowl and adding a brownie mix. Prepare for real, professional baking.
The first – and so far the only – cannabis dispensary in Monterey, Off The Charts, carries an indica cannabutter to bake with. They get it from Big Pete’s Treats of Santa Cruz, a company that specializes in hand-crafted and relatively healthy edibles. There’s a sense of family in its “bakes fresh with love” motto.
The brand uses organic, cannabis in all its products. There is 1 gram of sugar in each little gummy – a minimal amount. Try “sleepytime” gummies or chocolate chip cookies – “cookies that treat you right” – with CBN, a minor cannabinoid found in trace amounts in the plant. It has sedative and sleep-promoting effects, as well as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
How about a chocolate bar or a crispy marshmallow treat? Gummy flavors range from strawberry and watermelon to pineapple and guava. Most of the Big Pete’s products contain indica, known for its soothing effect.
Whether you want to consume your cannabis by eating, drinking or absorbing it through your skin, Off The Charts has it all. The shop is fully stocked and ready to address all possible needs. The shop seems to have everything that is currently available on the market, from flower and edibles to pills and muscle pain creams, each section well represented.
