What does weed taste like?

What does weed taste like?
Chicken.

Someone had to say it.

[DarlingNikki]

Chicken.

Someone had to say it.

lol

on the real, though...one of the kids at the clubhouse says the candy tastes like tobacco. like, there's nothing candy-like about it.

Look at the faces of people who have to eat weed when they are getting busted in the movies.

Do they look like they are enjoying it?

I agree the message it's sending is replusive, but seriously who smokes weed because "it tastes good"?

[Xombie]

This is by far the stupidest idea for candy yet.

I remember those little candy cigarettes when I was little. But at least they didn't actually taste like cigarettes.

Yeah, they tasted pretty good!

So do cigarettes, but a different good.

It should be mentioned that while few people start off doing that, it's definitely a flavor that many people acquire a taste for after a while. Like coffee or beer, which taste awful when you first try them. But after you're used to them, the flavor is quite pleasant.

Still not the primary reason, of course.

the taste of the weed says a lot about the quality...

I can honestly say that I loved beer from the first moment it touched my lips.

Man, I thought I was the only one.

My daddy snuck me a PBR when I was bailing hay with them on a hot August day, and DAMN, was that good.


To be fair, it could have been moosepiss coming out of that ice chest as hot and thirsty as I was.

I see your point.

When I first started drinking beer I thought it was nasty. But now I realized that it's a sweet nectar is a gift from the gods and I should treat it as such.

[Paradox]

Wow. Mega-dumb idea.

This goes in the same category as a certain part of the female anatomy...

"Yeah, I love how it tastes, but because of what it IS. Bring me something to eat in a restaurant that tastes like that and I'm sending it back to the kitchen!"

[DarlingNikki]

You're supposed to bake it into brownies . . .

now i know what my mom was putting in the brownies all those years ago. we'd take a few bites and next thing you know we went from hyper to hippie. it was at age 10 when my paranoia begain...

[Deathstroke]

It sends the message that candy makers have too much time on their hands and the consumers are freaking idiots.

i also see the message of "we really don't give a crap what kind of criminal activity this candy promotes, just as long as we get paid"

then again, that's capitalism...

Dumber than barf flavored jellybeans? No one gets high on barf!

[phoenixrising]

I don't see this as a threat. If it really tasteds liek weed, it won't taste good. It'll just make them want to follow up with more candy of another, more tasty variety. Genius marketing, I say.

[Paradox]

Sam A. Robrin gives one recipe:

You're supposed to bake it into brownies . . .

Well, actually, it works better if you heat it on low in a crock pot full of butter, margerine or vegetable oil for a couple of days and then strain out the leafy bulk.

Happy baking! :p

When Kristina and I came up to Altanta (meeting some cool CBR Atlanta people while we were there), a convenience store within walking-distance of our hotel sold these. I thought they were funny. I mean, why would someone want the taste of pot if they're not getting high? In fact, I almost bought some for people I know who do still toke up from time to time. In the end, I just forgot. That's probably a good example of what will happen to these candies. People will just forget them given time.

Where's Nikki gotten to anyway?
