Oatmeal Raisin Marijuana Cookies – Edible Cannabis Review

marijuana cookieThe Gift of Edibles

Recently a friend of mine gifted me with this 420 Kitchen Oatmeal Raisin marijuana cookie. Someone had given it to him, and he isn’t a big edibles person, so he gave it to me. The cookie was a bit broken and crumbly. It may have been sitting in my friends car for a week, who knows? The hermetically sealed medical food stuff packaging was still sealed, and hey… it’s free weed, so I figured I’d give it a try.

420 Kitchen Marijuana Cookie – The Taste

This Oatmeal Raisin Marijuana Cookie was surprisingly moist considering it was broken into pieces in the package. It was sweet with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. All overpowered with the taste of marijuana.  There is no doubt that you are eating a marijuana cookie here. That ever present bitter bud taste permeates every bite.

The Effect – Oatmeal Raisin Marijuana Cookie

oatmeal-raisin-weed-3I am a daily marijuana smoker. As a result, my tolerance is pretty high. I glanced at the back of the package for the 420 Kitchen Oatmeal Raisin Marijuana Cookie and saw that servings per container was listed as 1. I ate the whole cookie, and went about my day.

An hour after consuming the marijuana cookie I could start to feel the effects. At first it felt like the lingering leftovers from being stoned before. Then I remembered I hadn’t been stoned yet today. Over the next half hour the effects slowly intensified. Eventually, the effects reached a comparable state to having just smoked a bowl of top shelf indica.

I have found that most edibles use sativas, and almost none of the manufacturers label indica or sativa, yet they have very different effects. It might be nice if they got labeled as such. The indica properties of this marijuana cookie were a bit of a pleasant surprise to me. The muscle relaxation was warm and soothing while the effects on head cleared out the background clutter and allowed you to focus clearly on the task at hand.

The Warning – Marijuana Cookie

After consuming the 420 Kitchen Oatmeal Raisin Marijuana Cookie I noticed the warning at the bottom of the nutritional facts label. It says: WARNING: Do not overmedicate. Low tolerance patients may want to consume ¼ to ½ serving.

I think that is supposed to translate to: If you use marijuana once in a while, take ¼. If you use marijuana every weekend, take ½. And if you are a daily user eat the whole thing.

Maybe that should be in larger print on the label…

Another Study Shows: Marijuana Kills Cancer

medical cannabisIn experiments with marijuana and its active ingredient THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) farthing the advances made in 2009 at Complutense University in Spain that found that THC induced the death of brain cancer cells in a process known as “autophagy”, Scientists from Complutense University and the University of Anglia in the UK have discovered specific receptors that are responsible for the THC’s disease-fighting effects.

Marijuana Kills Cancer

The researchers found that administering THC to mice with human tumors initiated autophagy and caused the growth of the tumors to decrease. This success was repeated in two human subjects with highly aggressive brain tumors. When targeting the cancer cells in the experiments, the researchers found that two cell receptors were particularly associated with an anti-tumor response.

“THC, the major active component of marijuana, has anti-cancer properties. This compound is known to act through a specific family of cell receptors called cannabinoid receptors,” says Dr. Peter McCormick, from UEA’s School of Pharmacy.

marijuana kills cancer“By identifying the receptors involved we have provided an important step towards the future development of therapeutics that can take advantage of the interactions we have discovered to reduce tumor growth,” says Dr. McCormick.

In the United States of America, Marijuana is listed as a schedule 1 narcotic. It has that designation because the US Government claims that marijuana has “No Medicinal Value”. If marijuana does have medicinal value (as these studies clearly show it does), then it should be moved into another category where it can be freely prescribed by any Doctor… just like opiates and cocaine.

Yet with the plethora of real scientific data that shows that marijuana kills cancer (and treats numerous other conditions), it is still kept illegal for political gains. Keeping medicine from sick people for politics is truly twisted.

In 1640 English Botanist John Parkinson describes Cannabis as effective for treating tumors. glad to see the rest of science is catching up… 385 years later.
