DIY RSO you can conquer in your kitchen

For those of you still teetering on the fence of what you’d like to do with your life, if going back to school is an option for you, well, now there’s weed university. Well...to be more exact there’s Cannabis Training University.

According to Westword, the school’s training is now offered at two and four-year universities across the United States. The expansion of the program is due to the quickly growing cannabis industry.

“We saw there was going to be a need in education in colleges where the cannabis-industry education can also be included,” CTU CEO Jeff Zorn said to Westword. “Students sign up because they usually want to be involved in the industry after college, whether it’s to be an assistant grower or start their own business in areas like CBD or edibles.”

If you do find yourself signing up for CTU classes, you can take six classes all geared toward the green (that’s cannabis for those of you who didn’t get it).

You’ll learn about the industry from a holistic standpoint, from opening a dispensary to growing your own plants. Once you pass, you will be officially certified in various parts of the industry.

Zorn started CTU ten years ago after he suffered a traumatic brain injury. He began using medical marijuana to help him cope and decided he wanted to be part of the education aspect of the cannabis industry. CTU has enrolled 30,000 students, Zorn told Westword.

“We have a lot of people interested, whether it’s students wanting to be in the industry, people interested for their own personal reasons, or health-care professionals looking for further knowledge,” Zorn said.

“Our job is to just put everything together for students and have colleges offer it for them.”

(Next to Harley-Davidson) A budtender suggested that we try a bag of Rebel Edibles Chocolate Caramel Chews, so we did

Who are we to question the knowledge of the dispensary gods when it comes to cannabis consumption?

If you’re a longtime user of the marjuana, it can feel like way too much of a challenge to overcome the tolerance you’ve built up. As you probably know, the more often you use marijuana, the higher resistance you can build up against it, so the more you have to ingest.

Recently, I had to deal with this very problem when I had a few friends visit over the weekend. No matter what we smoked or ingested, we were having a difficult time hitting that sweet spot — you know, when you’re euphoric enough to still grasp what’s going on around you but sleepy enough to be cozy? However, since we’re all near-daily users of the greenery, we’ve built up a pretty hefty tolerance, sadly.

When we weren’t trying to get stoned on my couch, we did the normal Colorado activities of hiking, sightseeing, shopping, and perusing dispensaries. Toward the end of the day, we swung by one of my favorite dispensaries as I knew if anyone could solve our problem, the friendly budtenders here could. While at the dispensary, one such budtender suggested we try a bag of Rebel Edibles Chocolate Caramel Chews. These morsels come with 10 milligrams of THC per piece and lean toward providing sativa-like effects.

I won’t lie to you, this is not an edible I probably would have picked on my own. I’m not particularly a fan of chewy candies but I was willing to set my prejudice aside and give it a try. And boy was I glad I did.

The caramel and chocolate flavors swirled perfectly together in mushy chewy goodness that went down smooth. Basically, they’re effing delicious. They’re so sweet it cancels out the weed taste which I was completely fine with as I personally don’t like the weedy taste some edibles have. You’re welcome to me.

Turns out, these edibles are also SUPER potent, as in one minute you might find yourself laughing hysterically at something someone said and the next you’re standing over the fridge shoveling chocolate into your mouth. Not that I would know from personal experience…

Now, hear me out. Typically, when it comes to taking edibles, we’re all pretty much deadbeats drooling on the couch watching TV, right? Well, for whatever reason, that evening, we decided it was a good idea to clean my entire home top to bottom. Even as I write this sober, I still can’t quite believe this. Dishes, vacuuming, a floor scrub, and a kitchen cabinet overhaul.

Unfortunately, because our brains felt like they had been put through a blender, this process also took much too long as we got sidetracked multiple times from accomplishing the tasks we set out to do. Alas, weed.

Eventually, however, we ran out of steam and resorted to watching “Alien” in my living room. Despite having seen it approximately a million times, because of this heightened energy and awareness these Rebel Edibles gave me on top of a spike in adrenaline, it was like watching it for the first time all over again: terrified, anxious, and in awe.

In any case, if you’re looking for something sweet, delicious, and chewy that’ll get you so high you’ll start to think it’s weird that you have toes, I have a feeling you’ll enjoy Rebel Edibles Chocolate Caramel Chews. Just maybe abstain from cleaning your home. — Sir Blaze Ridcully

Want to make some mega-potent Rick Simpson Oil out of your bud?

Hell yeah. We have you covered. Here’s how you can do just that from the comfort of your own home.

Let’s jump directly into it: We want to help you land in the deep end of cannabis pool by making the most powerful medicinal preparation ever—Rick Simpson Oil, or RSO.

You may have heard a thing or two about RSO, and for good reason. This mega-potent oil is effective at treating or helping to treat a remarkable range of conditions—from chronic pain, sleeplessness, arthritis, Crohn’s disease, glaucoma, asthma, and migraines, to things like HIV/AIDS, leukemia, mutated cells, and even cancer.

In other words, RSO is a freaking beast of a cannabis concentrate, and if you’re suffering from chronic pain or other health issues, it may be able to fix what ails ya. That’s because it clocks in at a cool 90% THC or higher, so it’s important to know that this stuff serious business.

That said, RSO can be used “recreationally,” and it can be dabbed, but a word or two to the wise if you want to use it for that reason: — It is not for taking before brunch on the town or a Broncos game. — It is not for taking before an important phone call. — Do not take it with plans to drive anywhere for an entire half-day after ingesting it, at least. — And, if you are prone to getting sunburned, make sure that you’re covered after taking it because you may find yourself waking in a puddle of drool outside many hours later. Yes, even in the winter.

The starting dose for ingesting RSO is one-half a grain of rice. Go to the cabinet, open up your container of rice, and take out one grain of rice. A piece of RSO that’s the full grain of rice is way too much. Just think about that for a minute. You want half of that grain, max.

That said, don’t let it completely intimidate you. If you need a powerful medicine to combat the conditions listed above — or the others that cannabis

helps to treat — or if you decide to take some time to commune at a deep level with the Green Goddess with one hell of a trip, this is your method.

Ready to get started on this weed cooking journey? Great.

Here are the ingredients you need to make RSO:

You’ll need 1 ounce of dried flower, which will make approximately an eighth of oil.

You will also need a food-grade plastic bucket or large glass bowl, two mason jars, a wooden spoon-type utensil, a strainer, a funnel, a few coffee filters, and approximately one liter of grain alcohol to be used as a solvent.

There are numerous solvents that can be used, but Everclear is widely available, inexpensive, and relatively safe — though admittedly not without a risk of flammability.

You’ll also need at least one fan, a cooking pot, a rice cooker, a little bit of water, and a small glass Pyrex bowl.

Once you’ve gathered all of your ingredients, here’s what you’ll do to make RSO:

Start by roughly ripping up your dried bud and then place it into the bucket or
