Chew On This: Marijuana-Infused Gum Is The Next Big Thing

If you’ve tried all the usual methods of consuming marijuana — smoking, vaporizing, using tinctures or edibles, just to name a few — and you’re in search of an even easier method, we’ve got the answer. That saying, “Easy as walking and chewing gum” just got a boost … a THC boost. Say hello to marijuana-infused gum.

Chewing cannabis goes back to the 11th Century A.D., when the Sufis in ancient Egypt would dry and toast hashish leaves, mix them with sugar and sesame, and chew it like gum. Fortunately, a more palatable version exists today with flavors like Cool Mint and Tropical, using healthier ingredients, and even offering sugar-free options.

So why chew your THC, you ask? The biggest perk for marijuana-infused gum is that it’s absorbed faster than most edibles because it’s absorbed through the lining of the mouth, instead of needing to be digested and metabolized. Cannabis gum delivers the effects of the herb into your blood much quicker because it skips the digestive process. For the same reason, some medications are administered under the tongue — you’ll feel the effects more quickly, and won’t need your next dose so soon.

With edibles being one of the fastest-growing markets in the legalized marijuana industry, it’s no surprise someone like Jake Heimark left Facebook and launched Plus Gum, which specializes in cannabis-infused gum.

Sold as singles or in six-packs, the gum contains 25mg of THC per piece and has less than five calories; the company states that it starts working in less than 15 minutes, with effects lasting four or more hours. Not bad! Heimark is optimistic about the cannabis gum possibilities, “What I love about this industry is that it is brand-new and growing. It’s so exciting and changing every day.”

Another company looking to enter the field is AXIM Biotechnologies, which has begun clinical trials for cannabis gum aimed to treat conditions such as multiple sclerosis, irritable bowel disease, and Crohn’s disease.

THC can be effective at treating patients with degenerative diseases, and the actual chewing may help preserve cognition and memory. Many patients state that cannabis has been helpful in treating the pain and inflammation associated with MS.

AXIM expects approval and availability in the U.S. and Europe by 2017.

Chewing gum, unlike smoking or ingestion, can be done almost anywhere at any time. There is very little to no smell, and it won’t bother anyone around you (unless you chew loudly with your mouth open, natch). Whether you need it for chronic pain, to help with a particular medical condition, or just to relax, it’s surely worth a try.

Sweet And Savory: 3 Original Craft Cocktails To Make With Bitters

Sweet And Savory: 3 Original Craft Cocktails To Make With Bitters

Craft cocktails have made incredible leaps and bounds over the past dozen or so years. Nothing is more in evidence than the augmentations, such as bitters, shrubs, syrups, tonics, cola, and even flowers — each variety and flavor designed specifically for the craft cocktail bar.

Visit your neighborhood mixology bar; they are popping up all over like microbrew bars did about ten years ago. You can tell a mixology bar by a couple of things. Look over at the bar. Should you see little medicine droppers on tiny bottles lined up in a row, you’re probably in the right place. Look further, do you see liquors on the shelf that you don’t recognize? Getting warmer, you are. What about that over there? It looks like they refrigerate their Vermouth (if they don’t, throw it out!). And the ice, wow, such large cubes and crystal clear.

(OK, please don’t get hung up on clear ice, not everyone gets ice and are ice-nerds, but I digress.)

But back to those little bottles. What are they? What do they do?

Well, you’re in luck. I happened to have written an entire book on bitters. So I think my explanation of what bitters are, and what they are not, will make more sense to you. I hope so, anyhow.

First of all, all bitters are not Angostura. With that said, all bitters are not sweet. Far from. What bitters are- in as few words as possible is depth and balance within a craft cocktail. Made from herbs and spices-these bitter liquids, when dispensed drop, by precious drop give a cocktail or mocktail new clarity. Not clarity in color, but concentration in flavor. Instead of a drink being one dimensional, the addition of freshly squeezed (always) juices and the finish with a couple drops of bitters, the ones that make most sense, will make that cocktail sing. And what song will that be?

Not one that is more than a few sips. Because the addition of bitters to a craft cocktail is the finish to an already well made concoction.

Bitters come in a broad array of flavors. There are dozens of Mexican Mole’ Bitters, aromatic, celery, Creole-style Peychaud’s comes to mind here, as does Angostura; both were invented to heal the gut in times of poor refrigeration and sea-sickness. I’ve fallen for some new ones from Crude down in North Carolina that are darned delicious — Wilks and Wilson Bitters have made it into my kit. I’m always interested in the Bittered Sling from friendly Vancouver, BC. The Moroccan Bitters, Thai Bitters, Chesapeake Bay Bitters (Bitter End) are my all-time favorites. Bitters made without alcohol — Fee Brothers comes to mind immediately. Their mint is a julep in a pinch. Tinctures that tantalize the taste buds, such as the brilliant 1821.

There are hundreds of bitters available on the market all over the world and each are as delicious as the next. I suggest tasting them all, but bring your wallet because a little 1-2 oz. bottle can cost a pretty penny! If you are in New Orleans during the yearly Tales of the Cocktail festival in July, you can take a gander at a veritable cornucopia of bitters.

It really is the Golden Age of cocktail ingredients and Mixology.

Here are a few cocktails that I created that use bitters as the finishing touch.

Phoenician Carrot Frappe

  • 3 oz. Arak (kind of like ouzo, but much drier)
  • 2 oz. Freshly crushed carrot juice
  • Crushed Ice
  • Fresh mint (drop cut end in boiling water for 10-15 seconds, then store in ice water, cut end down)
  • Aromatic Bitters

Preparation

To a Burgundy wine glass: Add the crushed ice To a Boston Shaker. Add the Arak and the carrot juice. Add bar-ice to fill ¾ and cap, shake hard for 15.5 seconds. Double strain over the ice in the Burgundy glass. Dot with Aromatic Bitters. Garnish with the fresh mint, add more ice to the glass, if necessary.

And…

Four Pairs of Shoes and a Dark Suit

  • 3 oz. Eden Heirloom Ice Cider from Vermont
  • 2 oz. Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (left to go flat overnight)
  • 4 oz. Sparkling cider (your choice)

Preparation

Into a pre-chilled Burgundy glass: Add the “flat” Guinness. Float the sparkling cider on top. Finish with another float of the Heirloom Ice Cider. Serve and prepare another… They’re so good!

Your Talking Barber

  • 2 oz. Barr Hill Gin from Vermont (distilled from Raw Honey and Grain)
  • 1 oz. White balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon marmalade
  • 1 oz. Dry Vermouth, such as Dolin
  • 1 oz. Freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3-5 drops Celery bitters

Preparation

Prepare a coupe glass with ice and water. When frosty, pour out the ice and water and add 5 drops of the celery bitters, roll the bitters around to make the glass wet inside. Into a Boston Shaker, filled ¾ with ice. Add the lemon marmalade, the balsamic, the vermouth, the Barr Hill Gin and the lemon juice. Cap and shake HARD for 15 seconds. Double strain into your coupe glass with the celery bitters already inside the chilled and seasoned glass.

Yum.

6 Albums You Should Stream When You’re Finished With Drake And Kendrick

6 Albums You Should Stream When You’re Finished With Drake And Kendrick

Within popular music, for casual and devoted fans alike, it’s been hard to think of any music outside of Drake and Kendrick Lamar the past few months. Those two pillars have so commanded our attention that those deserving who would otherwise receive critical praise, have gone under the radar. Now that the dust is settled—though DAMN. remains in heavy rotation—these are the records you should catch up on.

Joey Bada$$—ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$

This article, admittedly, germinated from something Joey Bada$$ tweeted recently. His record ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$ dropped a week prior to Kendrick Lamar’s punch-you-in-the-mouth exorcism DAMN. and didn’t receive the attention it rightly deserved.

https://twitter.com/joeyBADASS/status/856248737932378112

https://twitter.com/joeyBADASS/status/856250928118321153

I don’t believe Joey when he says he’s not referring to his record. That additional tweet seems more of a savvy PR move than honest admission. Regardless of sentiment, Joey is correct: the attention span of current music culture rings of ADHD, as fans obsess over anticipation of new music than the new music itself. Which is a shame because Joey’s album is 100 percent worth your time. It carries this duality of pain and healing, melodic and bust-your-face boom bap, singing and rapping, decent hooks and better bars. ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$ is the type of rap album every conservative hip hop head shouts is missing from the culture. “What’s freedom to you? / Let’s talk about it, take a minute, think it through” are Joey’s first raps from the record. You’d be wise to listen.

Thundercat—Drunk

The only cultural comparison I can make regarding Thundercat’s funky, delirious Drunk is the cartoon strip Calvin & Hobbes. Masterpieces in mashing the tragedy and comedy of simply being alive, and blending them together into an abstract oil painting full of juvenile humor. “I feel weird,” Thundercat wails throughout this record, full of misfit soul that will make you want to dance and cry at the same time. Thundercat’s tender falsetto quavers, drawing listeners ever closer to him, and he’s liable to whisper a secret or a fart joke, sometimes both at the same time. Drunk is majestic absurdity, and a new anthem for all the weirdos out there like myself.

Maggie Rogers—Now That the Light is Fading 

The Maggie Rogers discovery story doesn’t require repeating but in case you’re somehow unaware: Last year, Maggie Rogers played her ethereal folk single “Alaska” during an NYU masterclass, and it made Pharrell cry. There’s more to the story, but Maggie’s EP, which I adore, never reminds me of Pharrell. Now That the Light is Fading instead reminds me of Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago, that seminal aching album that launched Bon Iver into stardom and Kanye West’s inner circle.

For Emma, Forever Ago’s legend derives from Bon Iver’s retreat into a Wisconsin cabin, ripping himself apart with just a guitar and his voice, then assembling it back together again. That record always places you inside that cabin: you feel the draft creeping in and that moody isolation cold winters can deliver. Rogers’ EP situates inside place, too, though her songs sounds like homes she’s building for herself. She accomplishes this in a track like “Alaska,” by including original samples, like found conversations in a Morocco marketplace or finger snaps. You feel like you’re right where Maggie Rogers is; through her records, she transforms the figurative into the physical.

Talib Kweli & Styles P—The Seven

If you’re not about bars, about that pure rap shit, this project isn’t for you. This joint EP from Talib Kweli and Styles P is lyrical warfare, full of fiery lyrics and grizzled MC knowledge. Kweli and Ghost both have tons to push off their chests. “Welcome to the conscious of the nation on hard beats,” Kweli raps to establish the tone of the project. He’s not wrong either: The Seven features the best production Kweli and Styles P have rhymed over in some time. This a project that proves rap isn’t dead, but alive and well.

Khalid—American Teen

What has been missing in pop culture for the past decade or so, undoubtedly, is youthful ennui. Teens and 20-somethings operating from left of center and speaking on adolescent anxieties of facing the world and falling in love. Web culture subsumed this perspective, but it’s returning lately, as it does here on Khalid’s American Teen and also last year with Kevin Abstract’s American Boyfriend: A Suburban Love Story. Both possess subversive pop instincts, though Abstract leans heavier into the hip hop world. Khalid sings from a more traditional forlorn teen perspective (he’s only 19), though his raspy croon can shrink and soar within a powerful moment’s notice.

He, along with Abstract, also confront techno worries of disconnect and discontent. Khalid’s breakthrough single “Location” begs a possible lover to “Send me your location”—i.e. drop a pin to his phone—and “I don’t want to fall in love off of subtweets,” sentiments only recognizable to those who’ve grown and loved in this digital era. It might remind you of a John Hughes movie, except with Uber and Snapchat.

Rag’n’Bone Man—Human

Since seeing Rag’n’Bone Man at South by Southwest, I can’t stop referring him to anyone who will listen. He produces great pop music that doesn’t feel trite or manufactured, but weary and world-worn. He is like a cross between Adele and Ed Sheeran, except if that baby had a giant beard and swigged rum like a sailor. Remember all those noire-drenched bar scenes in True Detective season 2, where hopeless drunk Colin Farrell met with whomever and it was all moody and somber. Rag’n’Bone Man sings in that bar, except it’s incredible. That and he’s multi-generation, as in you could tell your parents about this guy and they’d love him as much as you did. In fact, you should do that. Call your mom—now.

Marijuana Is Mainstream: Check Out This Cool Commercial For A Vape

You know marijuana is mainstream when an award-winning ad agency with a client list that boasts brand such as Disney, Nestles, AT&T and Volkswagen creates a TV commercial for a cannabis brand. And the ground-breaking ad is being broadcast in several major California markets.

Eureka Vapor, purveyors of portable vaporizers and cannabis concentrates, teamed up with  Innovation Agency, whose work has been sought out by many Fortune 500 companies, to create a campaign dubbed “Discover Eureka.” According to the cannabis company, the ad campaign helps “spread the message of inclusion and acceptance throughout all the communities it serves.”

Since most television stations do not accept cannabis advertising, the agency helped mitigate the challenge by coming up with a concept that promotes the brand without ever showing the actual product.

“We wanted to create a commercial that captures the essence of the brand,” said Randall Huft, president and creative director of Innovation Agency. “Eureka stands for inclusion, acceptance and love. They want to promote mutual respect and understanding, and the discovery of the beauty and individuality of each human.”

Californians voted overwhelmingly in favor of adult recreational marijuana last November.

Filling And Life Affirming Dinner: Marijuana-Infused Ma Po Tofu

Filling And Life Affirming Dinner: Marijuana-Infused Ma Po Tofu

More than once I’ve had to excuse myself from the table while eating Szechuan specialties to get some air outside. The extreme endorphin spike of wolfing an oval plate heaped high with spicy, tingly, stimulating morsels is sometimes too much to bear, in a good way. The feeling of Szechuan peppercorns, which aren’t technically a pepper, creates lightning on your tongue, and the feeling is addictive: That’s one of the reasons we love this Ma Po tofu.

Though it’s used in many delicious dishes, Ma Po Tofu is probably the most satisfying, and it’s easy to adapt to any diner, from meat eaters to vegans and with a few tweaks, you can even make it gluten free. The raw intensity of this plate is 90% of the fun, but if you’re new to cooking with this type of spice, you can start with half the amount. It’s really easy to add some extra tingle at the end with some infused oil.

The magic of Ma Po is also in its slurpable silken tofu bites. Tofu can sink or swim to many people, but when you taste is as it should be tasted, floating in a hot, oily, gingery gravy, you’ll get it if you haven’t before.

Ma Po Tofu

Adapted from China Sichuan Food .com
Serves 4, 14mg of THC per serving estimated

  • 1 package silken tofu
  • 1 cup ground beef or veggie beef crumbles, or leave out for GF
  • 2 Tbs cannabis infused veggie fat
  • ½ Tbs broad bean paste
  • 1 Tbs garlic black bean paste
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp Sichuan peppercorns
  • 2 chili peppers fresh or dried
  • ½ Tbs hot sesame oil
  • 2 scallions, sliced fine
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1” ginger, minced
  • Pinch of sugar
  • 2 Tbs water
  • 1 Tbs cornstarch
  • White Rice on the side
  • Cilantro for garnish

Cut tofu in small cubes and blanch for one minute in salted water, use a colander to avoid breaking up the cubes. Handle gently, it will be very delicate. A rice paddle is great for scooping up tofu chunks. Stir water and cornstarch together and put aside.

Toast peppercorns, chili peppers, and pepper flakes in a dry pan until fragrant. Grind in a mortar and pestle until powdered. Heat hot sesame oil in the pan and add garlic, ginger, and half of the scallions. Add the beef and cook until browned. Stir in pastes, half of the spice mixture, veggie fat and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes.

Slip in the tofu cubes and stir well to incorporate. Simmer mixture for another 5 minutes, stir in cornstarch mixture and simmer 1-2 more minutes until thickened. Serve spooned over white rice, garnish with remaining spice powder and scallions and lightly chopped cilantro. Inhale.

I can already hear people worried about the heat/spice levels in my head, but I assure you, with this type of food, adventure is key. This is already adjusted by half! What may initially feel like an assault on your tastebuds becomes a symphony after a few bites to temper the waters. It would really be a tragedy to not experience the wonder and glory that is MaPo Tofu covered in cilantro and scallions or garlic greens.

Gossip: Kelly Ripa Bans Caitlyn Jenner From “Live”; Lisa Rinna Taking Over For The Kardashians

Gossip: Kelly Ripa Bans Caitlyn Jenner From “Live”; Lisa Rinna Taking Over For The Kardashians

On Tuesday morning’s “Live with Kelly” show, Caitlyn Jenner was a guest — and possibly one of the rudest ever – and now she is NOT WELCOME BACK.

“Kelly has banned her. She was rude and aggressive and Kelly doesn’t want her on again,” sources tell Naughty Gossip. “It all started backstage when Caitlyn demanded to meet with Kelly before the show. Then while they are on the air live Caitlyn continuously kept cutting off Kelly Ripa and guest co-host, John Leguizamo. She even asked Kelly when she first identified as a female. What is her problem?”

“Just think about that,” she said, pointing her manicured finger at Ripa. “When did you know you were a girl?”

Jenner then made Leguizamo her target, asking him how he enjoyed dressing in drag in the 1995 comedy, “To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.”

Jenner played both guest and interviewer throughout the show.

“I’m actually very excited to be here,” Jenner said. “Why? Because today, the 25th of April . . . my book comes out and I don’t have a secret left in my life.”

Later on in her interview, Jenner interrupted the hosts again to let them know she had been snubbed in the past — and wasn’t happy about it.

“I have been around for 40 years, from the old ‘Regis and Kathie Lee’ — Kathie Lee’s [Gifford] the godmother to some of my children — and all this kind of stuff. I’ve watched your show for years, I’ve seen you go through all this stuff, and I’ve never been asked to co-host,” she complained.

Lisa Rinna Taking Over For The Kardashians

With ratings of “The Kardashians” continuing to drop, E! is looking for a replacement family and think they have found it in Lisa Rinna.

“Lisa Rinna’s family comes with all the excitement and drama and laughter of The Kardashians but without all the darkness. She is married to a sexy movie star, Harry Hamlin, and together they have two beautiful daughters, Delilah Belle Hamlin and Amelia Gray Hamlin. You will notice that Lisa has been promoting her kids a lot on social media as they get ready to replace Kim,” sources tell
Straight Shuter. “Lisa is ready for the challenge and hopes to bring the fun back to E!”

Trump Admin’s Anti-Marijuana Stance Is Leading To Record Marijuana Sales

Trump Admin’s Anti-Marijuana Stance Is Leading To Record Marijuana Sales

Colorado is continuing to set record marijuana sales — $235 million for the first two months of 2017, up 30 percent from the same period in 2016 — and one shocking theory is emerging as to why retail figures are so robust: Donald J. Trump.

According to Marijuana Business Daily, which tracks industry trends, suggests that the Trump administration’s negative comments regarding legalization and regulation may be one factor behind the soaring growth. Reporter Eli McVey writes:

Considering the Trump administration’s relatively unfriendly stance toward recreational marijuana, it’s conceivable that more out-of-state visitors are visiting Colorado to stock up on product that may no longer be available in the coming months.

This phenomenon has been on full display in the firearms industry. Gun sales spiked during the Obama administration when many believed their Second Amendment rights were being threatened. But since president Trump took office and the perceived threat has subsided, firearm sales have sharply declined.

The interesting, but hard-to-prove theory is worth considering. Neighboring states, many of which are at odds with Colorado on regulating cannabis, have let the federal government know about its dissatisfaction with marijuana illegally being driven back into their states. Cannabis consumers in those states may, indeed, be looking to stockpile their stash before possible action by a federal agency.

Just last week, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said this about the issue:

“Let me be clear about marijuana. It is a potentially dangerous gateway drug that frequently leads to the use of harder drugs. Its use and possession is against federal law and until the law is changed by the United States Congress, we in DHS, along with the rest of the federal government, are sworn to uphold all the laws that are on the books.”

The Marijuana Business Daily reports that Colorado sales of recreational marijuana in January were 38 percent higher compared to January 2016. In February 2017 recreational sales soared 48 percent above those the previous year.

Despite being a short month, February 2017 ranks as the second-highest monthly total for recreational marijuana sales in state history, just shy of the $88.2 million sold last September.

These historic highs are happening even as the price of cannabis is declining. According to the report, the state’s wholesale marijuana prices in mid-January 2017 were down 33 percent compared to mid-January 2016.

In 2015, Colorado’s total cannabis sales was just short of $1 billion. In 2016, the state’s legal retailers sold $1.3 billion. This year, the state is on pace to easily break that record.

Did You Know That Kathy Bates Is Starring In A New Marijuana-Themed Netflix Comedy?

What genre hasn’t Netflix swallowed in its quest to control all streaming media? It seems the answer is none, as Netflix recently announced they are dipping their toes in the stoner comedy variety with Disjointed starring Kathy Bates.

The show was co-created by Two and Half Men producer Chuck Lorre and former head writer of The Daily Show David Javerbaum.

Here is the official summary from Netflix:

Disjointed is a workplace comedy starring Kathy Bates as a lifelong advocate for legalization who’s finally living her dream as the owner of an L.A.–area cannabis dispensary. Joining her are three budtenders, her twenty-something son and a deeply troubled security guard. All of them are more or less constantly high.

Deadline described the show back in January of last year as “the most anticipated comedy spec script this winter,” so expectations are reasonably high regarding the Bates vehicle. The 20-episode season won’t be available until August 25, but you could see we have our eyes on this one.

Who Accidentally Shipped 10 Pounds Of Marijuana To This Pastor?

Who Accidentally Shipped 10 Pounds Of Marijuana To This Pastor? 

If it hasn’t been established already, let us reiterate: We are not here to narc on how you spend your free time, including your grocery shopping trips, or how you acquire your lunch. But this is starting to get out of hand.

Someone in Sacramento shipped ten pounds of weed to a pastor in the Philadelphia suburbs. Was this a very unfortunate accident, or a really wasteful prank? Honestly, who is shipping weed hundreds of miles across the country by UPS, anyway?

According to Fox 29 reporting from Yeadon, Pennsylvania, the marijuana came by UPS and arrived on the “tree-lined doorstep of an unsuspecting Yeadon homeowner last week.”

She opened the boxed and was greeted by ten pounds of high-grade weed wrapped in plastic, stuffed in a plastic bucket, packaged in a cardboard box.

Police confiscated the weed, and the pastor is quite shaken from her surprise delivery. “She is very upset and traumatized and she feels this person or persons who were going to pick this package up might come back,” said Yeadon Police Chief Donald Molineux.

So many people messed up for this to happen. The person whose idea it was to send weed to Pennsylvania illegally. That person’s connection, who was supposed to pick it up. The pastor who turned it in to the police instead of chilling out. Please, someone turn this into a plot for the next Seth Rogan film.

Watch Irish Moms Smoke Marijuana For The First Time And Dream About One Direction

Your first time smoking marijuana will probably result in a memorable experience. Please document it so the rest of us can watch, like this video of three Irish mums smoking in Amsterdam. Your first time smoking marijuana will probably result in a memorable experience. Watching these Irish moms smoke marijuana is the best thing ever.

Though we’ve brought you videos of a grandma smoking with her grandson and a rabbi, priest, and atheist smoke together, this mixture of motherhood stands out as the funniest and giggliest of amateur smokers. At one point, one mom worries she’s fallen asleep and ask around to make sure she hasn’t.

They played a game of Fuck, Marry, Kill with members of One Direction and answered some Would You Rather questions, including “Would you rather have penises for fingers or vaginas for ears?” One mom hilariously shoots down the question, calling it “dumb,” and we couldn’t agree more.

Near video’s end, the moms all agree that cannabis is a great answer, if someone is suffering from chronic pain or cancer. It just goes to show you that as people receive more education and awareness around the plant, marijuana isn’t worthy of the stigma it carries.
