HIGHJULY

The chickpea salad is healthy, easy and makes a great warm weather lunch or dinner. You can leave out the chicken entirely, or sub a different protein like tofu or shrimp. This smoothie is my weekend morning treat – starting the day with a bang, not a bong. If you have never had a citrus curd, try this. Creamy like velvet, tangy and sweet, the crunch of the toasted bread, the luscious fruit … you just have to try this at home.

Lemon Lime Curd With Toasted Baguette

12 SERVINGS | 5MG THC/SERVING | 60MG THC TOTAL

2 large lemons, zested and juiced

1 lime, zested and juiced

1 cup granulated sugar

5 egg yolks, lightly beaten

4 tablespoons canna-butter, cut in pieces

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in pieces

1 teaspoon vanilla pinch of salt

12 slices toasted baguette

1 cup berries, sliced if large

1. In a medium bowl, combine the zest and sugar. Mash together with a wooden spoon or potato masher.

2. In a medium saucepan, combine the zest and sugar mixture, lemon juice, yolks and butters. Stir to mix well. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from heat and place in a bowl. Stir in the vanilla and salt.

3. The mixture will thicken as it cools. Allow to come to room temperature, chill in the fridge for two hours.

4. Spread the curd on the toasted bread. Top with berries and toasted flaked coconut.

Sometimes I bring my lunch to work and make this salad with CBD. And I share. When infused with THC, folks have to come to my house to eat it … and they have to promise to stay ‘til the THC feels are gone. This salad is good for you and only gets better as the flavors commingle.

2. Serve with pita chips. I like to mix them into the salad – the dressing and crunch go perfect together.

Green Dream

SMOOTHIE

2 LARGE SERVINGS

5MG THC/SERVING

10MG THC TOTAL

1 ripe avocado

1 ½ cups almond milk, or milk of your choice

1 banana, peeled and sliced

½ cup almond butter

1-2 tablespoons honey

2 teaspoons canna-oil or butter, (melted and cooled) chia seeds

1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Process until smooth.

2. Divide between two glasses and top with chia seeds. I never thought I would enjoy drinking avocado anything. I also didn’t know how healthy avocados are. But this drink is fire. Get a ripe avocado (yields to gentle pressure) and give it a whirl in the blender with the rest of the ingredients. I wonder if a savory version with the stuff that goes in guacamole would be good?

“The Lemon Royale bred by Swampboy Seeds was passed on to Echo Electuary by the flavor-chasing crew at Eastwood Gardens.” Lemon Tree x (GMO x Triangle Kush)

For our Concentrates and Extracts Issue, we’ve decided to explore an exclusive look at Echo Electuary’s supreme Lemon Royale to see how this cross of Lemon Tree with GMO and Triangle Kush shines in flower, as a live budder extract, and in (solventless) live hash rosin badder form. We’re celebrating all of the actual lemon scents, alongside concentrated candy flavors and the similarities and differences in each. Let’s dig in.

Flower

This flower smells like walking through a Pacific Northwest forest, finding a hidden lemon grove, and realizing it’s smack dab in the middle of skunk mating season – layered lemon aromas with undeniable gas and funky flavors just beneath. The heightened lemon peel at the forefront and a loud pine forest middle with hints of greasy funk as a base note have us drooling.

The flower breaks down like a dream – exposing trichomes coating every conceivable surface of the buds and scenting the room with an overabundance of citrus as it spins around in the grinder. Showing off an excellent cure, this sticky flower handily makes joint rolling a breeze. Slow-burning and highly aromatic, the Lemon Royale’s ember glows steadily and provides a buzzy, euphoric high.

Live Budder Extract (right)

The light caramel-colored oil showcases an entire rainbow of candy flavors that make Lemon Royale a standout. Picture juicy, sugar-coated lemon and orange jelly candies and you’re halfway there. Warm woods, dripping pine sap and sweetened funk comprise the rest of the profile in the jar.

The budder is dense but lively, dancing like panna cotta on the end of a dab tool. Once it hits the warmed quartz it melts like a dream, expanding on the nail into a cloud of bright flavors and mood-elevating effects with a quick onset. The expertise of the extraction is apparent in the complex balance of candy and gas flavors mingling in each low-temp dab.

Fresh from the fridge, this taffy-textured oil reeks of Starburst candies layered over nose-wrinkling funk. As it warms, more savory-leaning aromas compete with the exceptionally loud candied-lemon-peel flavors at the forefront – creating a mouth-watering wallop of flavor.

Potent even at low temperatures, this oil hits the quartz and immediately shifts the mood. Chatty and lively. Each draw hits hard and builds on the last to foster a relaxed but focused effect.

The Lemon Royale bred by Swampboy Seeds was passed on to Echo Electuary by the flavor-chasing crew at Eastwood Gardens. Echo has been doing it justice ever since, filling rows of their greenhouses and cultivating flower destined for the top shelf extraction and concentration. Now, fans can keep an eye on their brand new Eugene dispensary – Hive Cannabis Connect – for the release of Echo Electuary flower.
