The beginning of the year, my husband started playing around with making edible tinctures/elixirs. He's a severe asthmatic so he can't smoke flower or concentrates as much as someone with healthy lungs can, so he turns to edibles a lot. He finally came up with an infused agave nectar and it is boss! He makes it so strong, a table spoon can be about 700mg of thc/cbd. We first started making it because it would get you stoned as fuck and didn't have a terrible weed taste. We'd mix it with sweet tea and take it to parties. Then people who drank it would come back to us and say, "The night of the party I slept so well and I have insomnia. I know it was your tea." Then people started telling us that their pain went away when they had our tea. Then a friend with liver cancer told us, "when I drank your tea, I FORGOT I HAD CHEMO THAT DAY." That's when we knew we had something. Special growers started seeking him out to make the nectar out of their own product so that they could take it back to their patients. We were able to create CBD agave nectar that greatly helps a lot of sick people. Another friend gave some of it to a severely autistic man who could barely talk and had terrible hand jerking. When given the agave sweet tea, he was able to sit back with his arms calmly folded over his lap and he could get a few sentences out and be part of the conversation.
My favorite story is a Florida man got a hold of our nectar and went home to his mother who is totally against marijuana and wants nothing to do with it. He said, "hey ma, try this agave nectar for your tea, the news says it's better for you than the honey you have." Two weeks later he comes back to his mom and told her that the agave nectar was actually medicated with cannabis and she said, "I love it." And that she didn't drink her tea every day, but when she did she said that her day was "just better." She still uses it in her tea, still doesn't drink tea every day.
We use it to medicate lots of things, we've medicated BBQ sauce and got blazed on pulled pork sandwiches. One bonfire, I used it in a big pot of chili and I was so stoned that people would skip me when passing me a bowl to hit because "you're good."
It's nice because we'll just take it with us to a restaurant and they think we're picky about our sweeteners. We are, we want to get high off of it. We'll run through McDonalds for a dollar sweet tea and it' a party the rest of the day. Today I poured it over my breakfast bowl and I am stoned to the bone, man.
