#5: The Cannabis Coconut Oil 7-day Challenge

For readers who aren’t into cannabis, please hang in there, the challenge is almost over. For those of you who are interested in learning more about new ways to medicate with cannabis, only two more tasty meal ideas left! It will be hard to top #5.

All week, I’ve been thinking about a soft-boiled egg and speculating a little cannabis-infused coconut oil might be a perfect pairing. And it was. With tacos and tuna or even avocado toast, the coconut oil taste disappears. Perhaps it’s simply a matter of volume. Small portions are likely to reveal the taste of coconut. I found that to be true with peanut butter as well.

But runny egg yolk, soft egg whites and a little coconut oil? It’s a match made in heaven. I could only detect a hint of coconut, but it was just enough. No taste or smell of cannabis. Later, I wondered if a sprinkle of toasted salted coconut would be good on top, but maybe that’s gilding the lily. Or maybe for a poached egg?

As always, medicate carefully. I use only a scant dropperful, which is about 1/4 teaspoon.

Oh, and look at my cute oil dispenser! It’s glass, so if the oil firms up a bit, just take off the lid and microwave for a couple of seconds at low heat. It’s nice to have a dispenser on the counter top or at the table so you can easily add a bit of cannabis-infused coconut oil to individual portions.

I’ll do a proper wrap-up when the challenge is over, but for now, I’m a fan. It’s so simple to add a small amount of cannabis coconut oil to your daily diet, and I have found low doses to help me with post-mastectomy pain, inflammation and anxiety.

Overall, I just feel better and happier with a little cannabis in my system.
