The author writes an entire book about recipes which anybody could find in any cook book or online. The ONE and ONLY thing you want is on page 50. It's the reason why just popping a bud in your mouth will not get you high. It has to be cooked for the THC to be extracted and since THC is basically an oil, butter works best. I wasn't going to do this, but the author didn't even get that right. He tells us to combine the butter, "leaf" AND WATER in a "stockpot". Not true, what you want is a double-boiler to simmer the LEAF WITH BUTTER for 3 hours OVER THE WATER THAT SIMMERS UNDERNEATH AND NOT COMBINING THE THREE MATERIALS. When it's over, strain and press the buds to get all the juice. Refridgerate overnight and use the butter to make cookies or whatever (which fills in the rest of the book with standard recipes).

The other snippet of info your probably looking for is whether Police dogs will know that they are pot-brownies, the answer is YES they will.

Though the doses were a little light (probably for safety sake) the recipes were very, very good, much better than the average.There are even recipes for drinks. Also, the information was well written, and nicely laid out. if you have any interest in making special treats for friends or for yourself this is the perfect book to get.

I just got this book and thought it was a great buy, as well as some amazing recipes there was very thorough information on the basics of cooking with pot and some good legal tips. So far we tried 2 of the cookie recipes and they tasted better than any other recipe I'd made. The only flaw that while there are over 40 recipes a few of them are pretty complicated and I think the author needs less than me or erred on the side of caution re the dosage, it was fine for my girlfriend but I was happier increaing my doseage by about a third. Still apart from that this is one of only 2 cookbooks I'd recommend, the other being an excellent book by Tom Flowers called The Marijuana Hebal Cookbook, either of these would be an excellent addition to any kitchen.
