Sativex Chocolate

A Bud Buddie receiving Sativex on prescription told me she is very pleased with the results, however as she is on quite a high daily dose she has developed sore areas in her mouth from the sublingual spray. She also mentioned that, although the pain killing properties of Sativex are good she misses the heavy relaxed body stone of a good indica.

Sativex is a whole plant extract of cannabis – containing 51% THC and 49% CBD in an alcohol solution.

Most people notice a heavier body stone when eating cannabis as it is processed by the body via different route than smoking or sublingually, so we decided to try mixing a bottle of her Sativex into melted high cocoa solids chocolate.

Here's how we did it





You will need a hob, glass bowl, saucepan, a few spoons, an ice cube tray and 150 grams of quality chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids, cheap chocolate caramelises during heating). We are using Green & Blacks but any high quality dark chocolate will work





You will also need a bottle of Sativex and a pair of pliers

Remove the top from your bottle with a pair of pliers, use the wire cutting blades to grip the top of the spray dispenser and carefully remove the spray mechanism







Discard the spray mechanism

[DANZIG]

Break the 150 grams of chocolate into pieces to aid melting





Quarter fill your pan with water and place the glass bowl onto the pan – this creates a double boiler, ensure that the water is not in contact with the bowl and simmer. The steam from the water will heat the bowl allowing the chocolate to melt without burning. Add the chocolate

Stir to achieve even melting





When the chocolate is fully melted and smooth in constistency remove from heat and add the Sativex while stirring constantly. You will notice the chocolate thickening considerably – this is normal.

After stirring to ensure that the Sativex is fully mixed into the chocolate – take a teaspoon and use this to fill the ice cube tray.









When the tray is full – Bang the ice cube tray down onto a solid surface, this will settle and level the chocolate in the tray


Place the tray into a fridge for a couple of hours

Push out the squares of chocolate and store in a container in the fridge


Dose

A bottle of Sativex contains approximately 50 sprays – we are using a 14 square ice cube tray so each square of chocolate is the equivalent of 3.5 sprays of Sativex

CAUTION – 3.5 sprays of Sativex sprayed as directed under the tongue will be absorbed via the mucus membranes directly into the bloodstream and 4 sprays is considered a strong dose. Sativex in chocolate will still be absorbed under the tongue but the majority will be swallowed and will be converted into the metabolite 11-Hydroxy-THC this will make the effects greater and longer lasting

The effects can be felt from 20 minutes to an hour after ingestion


Effects

Danzig’s view - I was totally fucked after one square - very heavy body stone and I slept for 10 hours


Medi-Users Experience

The results were a total success, I had one square and within an hour was pain free and very, very stoned. The effect from the chocolate was much heavier and more relaxing than when taking it sublingually, it also lasted longer making the chocolate much better for sleeping than neat Sativex. I am now using a combination of Sativex spray and Sativex chocolate depending on the effect I want – it has made my medicine much more versatile, not to mention better-tasting!

Sativex is 51%thc and 49% cbd, but does this mean that medicinal users will not get stoned?
But by making choccy you can change this and get a more varied/effective medicinal product? Amazing. Scientists and prohibitionists should see all this.

Also that sativex looks just like hash oil. What plants do Gm use or is it synthetic thc?
Interesting Danzig (and Bartman!) Cheers bud.

[Arnold Layne]

Most interesting. Sativex did nothing for me, either as a medicine or in terms of getting high/stoned. Nowt, abolutely zip.
Glad that it works for most though!

Sativex is based on Skunk #1 and GWP have patented their own cannabis strains

[Keye]

This is very interesting indeed. I'd not thought about it in that way - acheiving a different effect with it for medical purposes. Great stuff!

What sort of ice-cube tray do you use though??? I've tried so many different ones that i've lost the will to go on with them. I bought some moulds for a bar but i wish i'd gotten something out of the trays. Ahwell

Anyone thinking what i'm thinking?

Be careful the media don't latch onto this. Can you imagine it?
