Whipped Clouds [Cannabis Infused Massage Butter ]
Touch is healing. Touch can be seductive. Heat-up intimacy with an elevated massage using High as Clouds Massage Butter. This exfoliating massage butter is meant to massage into skin for at least 3-60 minutes, then rinse in bath or shower. High As Clouds massage butter melts tension and is a great way to ignite the fire within. Ingredients 1 cup Cannabis Infused Coconut Oil, solidified (see recipe below) 2 tsp of sugar 5-10 drops of Yang Lang or Rosemary Essential Oils –(or any scent you like) Small Glass Jar Method NOTE: Make Cannabis Infused Coconut Oil 24 hours before making High As Clouds Massage Butter. Recipe included.
With an electric stand-up or hand mixer beat the oil and sugar until it is fluffy like whipped cream. Add essential oils and beat to incorporate. Fill your glass jar with High As Clouds Massage Butter. If it's a warm day, refrigerate for another hour. This whipped body butter will keep about 4 months at room temperature. Your Whipped Clouds Butter may look yellow or have a green tinge. Our picture shows white oil as we used a cannabis infused MCT oil, a little different process than the infused coconut oil. However, this recipe for Whipped Clouds Butter using infused coconut oil is the best! * In warm climates, the coconut oil base will soften and can liquefy. If this happens it can be re-whipped and stored in the refrigerator.
Heat-up intimacy with DIY Cannabis infused massage butter. Cannabis Infused Coconut Oil Recipe Ingredients & Tools ¼ ounce ground cannabis (use a food processor) ½ Cup Organic Coconut Oil 3 Cups Water Cheesecloth Method Place water in saucepan and bring to a boil. Add coconut oil to boiling water. While the coconut oil is melting, place the ground cannabis in the cheesecloth and tie up. Place the cannabis pocket in the saucepan with water and coconut oil. Simmer for 3-4 hours. Remove the cannabis pocket but don’t let that goodness go to waste, squeeze every last drop from that cannabis pocket back into the saucepan. Remove saucepan from heat, place in refrigerator for 8-12 hours. Your dairy-free infused coconut oil will solidify on the surface of the water. Use a knife to cut around the edges, and a slotted spoon to remove the infused coconut oil from the water. Now you are ready to use your infused coconut oil responsibly.

Add in gluten-free bread cubes and gently move around pan using a wooden spoon allowing the bread to soak up oil and combine with garlic and rosemary while toasting.

SWEET VEGAN LOVE:

Sweetness overpowers earthy flavors and you’ll be surprised how amazing vegan frosting can taste! So, forget those awful toxic food dyes and think PINK… the natural way this Valentine's Day. Simply add 1 teaspoon of red beet puree for a beautiful PINK color— works in regular buttercream and vegan frostings. Perfect for topping cookies, cupcakes, cakes etc. It’s a great Valentine's Day frosting. Other celebrations it works well for: baby showers, breast cancer awareness, pinktastic fun—anything PINK! Get creative and enjoy the process of cooking naturally. You’ll be sure to love the outcome.
NATURALLY COLORED WITH BEETS
Pink Vegan Elevated Frosting Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free & Vegan Ingredients
4-6 Tbsp. coconut milk 1 tsp. gluten-free vanilla extract 1/4 Cup cannabis infused coconut oil— softened/room temperature 16 oz. confectioners sugar 1 tsp. red beet puree (1/4 beet steamed and mashed very fine) Method Using an electric mixer, “cream” your cannabis infused coconut oil until smooth. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, beet puree and 1 Tbsp. of coconut milk. Add more coconut milk one tablespoon at a time until your frosting is smooth and fluffy. Too much milk causes this frosting to be runny. So take your time and let your mixer mix long enough so you see the frosting’s true texture throughout the mixing process.
FOOD LOVE TIPS & HACKS ROMANTIC BEETS When it comes to roots people love, there is one hot pink superstar—ruby red beets! Sweet earthy flavors of these bad boys are amazing! So sophisticated. So packed with health benefits. Beets are detoxifying vitamin boosted Viagras in our humble opinion! Well, maybe we shouldn’t go that far. But, looking back in history, Romans turned to beets as an aphrodisiac. They are packed with phytonutrients called betalains supporting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification support. They also contain potassium, magnesium, Vitamin A, B & C and lutein wonderful for total body & eye health)—love that!

cannabis. Upon doing so gross sales increased up to almost $1 million. From there, he opened up his own business, Green Ideas Landscaping, and had an opportunity to work with Fernando Devino starting the OHSU organic edible landscaping at the school of nursing. Producing food that fed a hospital between 2011- 2017 prepped him for farming. In 2015 he was lucky to get a foot in the door at Farma, a Portland based dispensary and grow company, where he helped manage their grow at the beginning of legalization. Then in August 2017, the opportunity of a lifetime came; with the help of an investor, Chad opened up Foggy Acre Farms.
Getting down and dirty at the farm… Renovating a run-down farm is no small task! Chad had to clean, clean, clean, and clean— literally cleaned chicken shit off every surface of the barn and discovered he was allergic to grass while grooming the fields (LOL!)— Oh the stories he tells are awesome! He built a Pole Barn in preparation for his grow, building 90% of it from recycled wood found on the property.
Now with grow underway and licenses in place, 2019-2020 looks to be years for growth. Chad is currently focusing on a CBD grow, establishing a commercial kitchen, developing products, hosting events and teaching classes—all around cannabis grown on the farm.
More than cannabis... But the farm is much more than just cannabis. The farm not only is home to cannabis craft hemp, but hosts wild flowers, bees, animal husbandry and edible flowers. Chad will be teaching classes at the farm, beginning in April 2019. Check out Foggy Acre Farms class schedule by clicking here: https://www.foggyacres.com/
On a personal note: Chad loves juicing! He has juiced fruits and veggies for the past 7-8 years of his life. From juicing came his love for apothecary practice focusing on medicinal plants and mushrooms.

The global online community hosts classes, panels, videos, job opportunities, business directory and is a safe space to connect. Each of their chapters host local events. Karmel from Cannabis Cooking Magazine had the pleasure of attending one of their social events held at the Prism House in Portland, Oregon. Walking into the house there was an undeniable electricity—great energy among attendees. A house full of women chatting, crafting, eating, drinking, partaking in cannabis in multiple forms, dancing, networking and educating themselves about all things cannabis. Karmel recalls, “As I wandered around each corner of Prism House, I stumbled across something new. I found a library hosting an author signing their newest release, there was a photo booth where women were being styled and pictures taken, a meditation area, and upstairs artists were selling their wares. Everywhere I turned, I met someone new and interesting. The key element which bound us together that evening was cannabis. This event was an eye opening experience with the realization we’re a part of a larger community with holistic intentions for this mother plant.” We attest to the fact, Tokeativity’s events are empowering!
