Marijuana in your smoothie
You don’t need much marijuana for a powerful smoothie. But how do you get the effective ingredients out of your marijuana and put it in your smoothie? This is possible by making cannabis milk. You dissolve the marijuana as it were in milk, which gives the milk the psychoactive properties. And then add this to your smoothie. You can also add a spoonful of cannabutter to your smoothie.
How do you make cannabis milk?
Grind a few grams of weed. Minimum 1 gram and maximum 4 gram. Heat a pan with milk to around 70 degrees (do not let it boil). Add a dash of whipped cream in the milk. Now add your crushed marijuana and heat everything at a low temperature for one hour. It is important that you do not let it get too hot, so do not let it boil, otherwise it will affect the THC content. After one hour the effective ingredients from the marijuana are absorbed into the milk. Sieve all the plant remains from the milk and let cool. When the milk has cooled completely you can add it to other dishes such as a delicious marijuana smoothie. Simple, right?
How do you make that delicious smoothie?
Making the smoothie is really very easy. The cannabis milk forms the basis. Put it in the blender. Add fruit to your own insight. You can add 1 type or a combination of different types of fruit. Use your creativity! Banana, blueberries and strawberries, for example, is a delicious combo. Do you like sweet? Then choose sweet fruit and add honey or a little vanilla sugar. And now: just blend! Put your device on the highest setting and blend everything for a minute or two. Pour your smoothie into a tall glass, garnish with some fruit and put a straw in it! Tadaa, that’s how you make your own delicious marijuana smoothie in no time. Enjoy!

Benefits of raw cannabis in making marijuana smoothies
Earlier pieces of research on raw cannabis show that it harbors a plethora of medical benefits. Even though not every other country in the world legalizes raw cannabis for either recreational or medical use, we are utterly confident that this research, coupled with several others on the way, will open everyone’s eyes to fathom that, indeed, the pot is the real deal for me and you.
Also, let’s not forget that when cannabis is raw, it is not decarboxylated. That said, the helpful phytocannabinoids are not activated; thus, THCA and CBDA don’t get activated into THC and CBD.
This is to say that you won’t benefit from the psychedelic high of cannabis when you take raw cannabis or use it to make marijuana smoothies.
So, how exactly will I benefit from raw cannabis in smoothies if I won’t get high?
- Research says that CBDA has anti-inflammatory and antiemetic properties, just like the worldwide recognized CBD. This is to say that should you use raw cannabis to make marijuana smoothies at home, you will also wade off your inflammatory pain points.
- THCA can protect the user from conditions such as insomnia, pain, and neuroprotective maladies. Also, parents with epileptic children have reported instances of feeling better when they take THCA-rich substances such as raw cannabis.
- Since THCA doesn’t get activated into THC in raw cannabis, it means that those who frequently attend drug tests have higher chances of passing drug tests than THC-rich marijuana consumers.
- The failure to heat cannabis means that the essential constituents such as Vitamin C and K, Calcium, Iron, and Folates get maintained. Decarboxylation inhibits the proper functioning of terpenes and cannabinoids, but the case is different from that of raw cannabis. It supports the functionality of all the natural chemical compounds of cannabis.
Make raw marijuana smoothies at home.
The process is actually easy, fast, and more straightforward than one would think of. However, you need to have the ideal necessities, if at all, you would like the process to be a breeze.
Nonetheless, consider following these hacks we have tested to ace the process well.
- Wash all plant matter and tools before starting making raw cannabis smoothies at home
- Blend the mixture of the cannabis matter instead of going the juicing way. Juicing is the surest way to losing most, if not all, the cannabinoids of cannabis.
- Use fresh cannabis plant matter such as leaves, flowers, or buds. If you use dry ingredients, the highest chances are that the THCA and CBDA will probably have turned into THC and CBD.
- Always use organic plant matter.
- Use vegetable juice while blending the mixture to make the smoothie as tasty as possible.
