Synopsis Craft Weed by : Ryan Stoa

How the future of post-legalization marijuana farming can be sustainable, local, and artisanal. What will the marijuana industry look like as legalization spreads? Will corporations sweep in and create Big Marijuana, flooding the market with mass-produced weed? Or will marijuana agriculture stay true to its roots in family farming, and reflect a sustainable, local, and artisanal ethic? In Craft Weed, Ryan Stoa argues that the future of the marijuana industry should be powered by small farms—that its model should be more craft beer than Anheuser-Busch. To make his case for craft weed, Stoa interviews veteran and novice marijuana growers, politicians, activists, and investors. He provides a history of marijuana farming and its post-hippie resurgence in the United States. He reports on the amazing adaptability of the cannabis plant and its genetic gifts, the legalization movement, regulatory efforts, the tradeoffs of indoor versus outdoor farms, and the environmental impacts of marijuana agriculture. To protect and promote small farmers and their communities, Stoa proposes a Marijuana Appellation system, modeled after the wine industry, which would provide a certified designation of origin to local crops. A sustainable, local, and artisanal farming model is not an inevitable future for the marijuana industry, but Craft Weed makes clear that marijuana legalization has the potential to revitalize rural communities and the American family farm. As the era of marijuana prohibition comes to an end, now is the time to think about what kind of marijuana industry and marijuana agriculture we want. Craft Weed will help us plan for a future that is almost here.

Synopsis Brewing with Cannabis by : Keith Villa

Brewing with Cannabis introduces the convergence of marijuana and brewing in the modern craft beer movement. Explore the varied history of how the cannabis plant became federally illegal and dive into both historic and current laws on decriminalization and legalization of cannabis in the U.S. Learn about the agriculture and biology of cannabis, unique characteristics of the plant, and the similarities between cannabis and hop plants. Find out all that is needed to successfully grow cannabis plants in the comfort of your own home (where state legal). Examine the active components of cannabis and the chemistry of how they interact with beer. Discover how to de-carboxylate THC-A into the fully psychoactive form of THC and learn methods of adding cannabis and CBD to non-alcoholic beer and homebrew for different effects. Delve into how and why the plant produces compounds such as cannabinoids and terpenes, how they function, and how to incorporate them into beer recipes. Both homebrewers and professional brewers will be inspired by a wide-range of extract-based and all-grain recipes they can adopt or use as guidance when creating non-alcoholic beer or homebrew. Designed as a practical guide to use in brewing, the final chapter will inspire readers on how the discovery of new cannabinoids and terpenes may be used in the future. This book will be especially useful to brewers seeking information on the responsible and state legal of use of cannabis in brewing.

Synopsis Beauty of Cannabis by : Spurs Broken

Beauty of Cannabis is a visual journey into the spectacular marijuana strains being grown in the 21st Century. Award-winning photographer Spurs Broken takes us as deep as the lens will allow by directing light into the valleys between the leaves and through fissures full of crystal trichomes to reveal the beautiful strands, strings, and balls of earthly delight. Readers will learn to direct light inside each bud so it can reflect off the crystals to reveal beautiful colors and will discover the rewards of alternating the depth of field by a few microns to find the deep-orange pistils and the saturated brilliance that manifests from the contrast when a shot is done just right. Cannabis connoisseurs will delight in intimate views of what they’re smoking, as Spurs’ signature style of macro-photography reveals the makeup of each plant’s personality and characteristics of the individual strains in all their glory.

Synopsis The Cannabis Brewing Guide by : Dr Wendy Grey

BECOME YOUR OWN COCKTAIL AND MOCKTAIL BAR MAN WITH CANNABIS INFUSED DRINKS Most cannabis strains have a pungent aroma and need a beer with various strong components-body, aroma, alcohol-that allow you as the brewer to balance those flavor and aroma contributions. Cannabis is alcohol soluble at an ABV of 8 percent or higher, so stick with the double IPA over a lighter single IPA-the higher the alcohol content, the better the THC extraction, and with high-quality recreational marijuana from a legal dispensary running roughly fifteen times more expensive than an equivalent amount of hops from a homebrew store, extraction efficiency is definitely an important concern. Additionally, the higher finishing gravity of a double IPA will let you counteract some of the herbal bitterness that cannabis can add, and balancing with fruit-forward hops will aid general drinkability. Both hops and cannabis have terpenes that will lend aromatics such as floral, citrus, piney, and fruity. Dry hopping with cannabis tends to impart a much grassier flavor than most hops do, so steer clear of using hops that might amplify that grassiness. Cannabis strains with more of the happy, uplifting, and euphoric psychoactive effects are typically better in beer than those with calming, mellowing effects, and both Indica and Sativa strains can have those characteristics. The THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the "psychoactive" component in marijuana that causes the "high". THC binds with brain receptors controlling mood, feelings, and pain. Aside from inducing euphoria, it blocks pain receptors in the brain, resulting in relief from pain. More than 62 percent of people use medical marijuana to address chronic pain conditions like the following: Headaches and migraines, Joint pains, Arthritis, Lower back pain, Postsurgical pain, Cancer-related pain, Nerve pain, Multiple sclerosis pain. When the body's immune system attacks healthy cells, the result is inflammation. Diseases that are associated with inflammation are: Rheumatoid arthritis, Psoriatic arthritis, Gout. These diseases can cause redness, pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joint areas. Medical marijuana has been found to reduce the effects of these inflammatory diseases. With the introduction of CBD into beers, more detailed studies are ongoing to determine whether CBD is just as effective in fighting inflammation. Want to discover more? Get a Copy of This Book Now
