What are cannabis space cakes?
Cannabis space cakes, also known as weed cake or pot brownies, are baked goods infused with cannabis. The term “space cake” originated in Amsterdam, where cannabis-infused products are widely available. These cakes offer a discreet and enjoyable way to consume cannabis, as the effects are slower to kick in compared to smoking or vaping.
To create a cannabis space cake, cannabis-infused butter or oil is used as a key ingredient. This butter or oil is made by heating cannabis in a fat, such as butter or coconut oil, to extract the cannabinoids. The resulting infused butter or oil is then incorporated into the cake batter, resulting in a delicious treat with a cannabis twist.
History of cannabis space cakes
The history of cannabis-infused edibles can be traced back centuries. In ancient India, for example, bhang, a traditional beverage made from cannabis, was consumed during religious ceremonies and festivals. The Egyptians and ancient Greeks also documented the use of cannabis-infused foods and drinks for medicinal purposes.
The modern concept of cannabis space cakes, however, gained popularity in the 1960s and 1970s during the counterculture movement. As cannabis use became more prevalent, people began experimenting with different ways to consume it. The emergence of space cakes allowed users to enjoy the effects of cannabis in a discreet and delicious manner.
