City Shares Its ‘Official’ Pot Brownie Recipe While Plotting to Ban Happy Meals

Pot brownie recipe gets 'high' marks from San Fran officials pondering ban on Happy Meals.

If you want to ‘shake and bake’ with medicinal marijuana in San Francisco, the city’s Department of Public Health just unveiled some tasty, though highly-regulated, recipes incorporating the special ingredient. Meanwhile, the city’s Supervisor is preparing to defeat Ronald McDonald in an upcoming culinary ’throwdown.’

“San Francisco’s medical cannabis regulations call for labeling the amount of marijuana on each individually marked, opaquely wrapped cookie or rice krispie treat, and keeping pets and children out any kitchen where they’re being made,” reports the East Bay Express. ”No treats should resemble any type of candy. And no dispensary can make hot or cold-dependent foods like milkshakes or ice cream without a special permit from the Public Health Department, which has designed coursework and an exam for permitees.”

The city’s marijuana recipes and guidelines were prepared by ‘chef’ Kevin Reed of the “Green Cross,” an organization that makes special deliveries of the ‘sticky-icky’ to those in (legal) need of weed.

"Hurry-up with those brownies!"

According to Reed, it’s imperative to exercise an ounce (or gram) of caution when cooking with weed. He cites his own grandmother as an example of what can go wrong when ‘baked’ goods aren’t properly labeled and stored out-of-reach from unsuspecting family members both young and old.

“The first one was good, so thirty to forty minutes she had another,” Reed said of his grandmother’s experience pot cookies he left unattended and unlabeled. ”When I came in she said she ate these two cookies and said she was feeling kind of funny. Her blood pressure was up, her heart was pumping. She got paranoid and asked to be taken to the emergency room.”

Reed urges all fellow ‘green chefs’ to treat their pot “cookie jars” no different than they would their medicine cabinets. He adds, “Only buy individually wrapped edibles with an expiration date and dosage from a licensed dispensary.”

While San Francisco officials seem content promoting the city’s ‘official’ pot brownie and milk shake recipes, Supervisor Eric Mar is silently plotting to remove toys from kids’ Happy Meals. In late April, he asked the city attorney to begin crafting legislation that would prohibit “fast food restaurants from including toys with meals marketed at children that are high calorie, high sugar and high in fat.”

Listen-up kids! It’s okay for adults to get high on marijuana-laced treats that are less than healthy, but those Happy Meal toys will kill you!

By the way, City Mayor Gavin Newsom (D) just issued an executive order banning Coke, Pepsi, sports drinks, artificially sweetened water and other “calorically sweetened beverages” from being sold by vending machines on city property.
