Medical Marijuana Infused Products Sold From Washington Food Truck. A new era in marijuana edibles has begun in Washington State, as food truck entrepreneurs take their first bold step into the marijuana arena. As a converted school bus which is promoting Seattle-based Magical Butter, the truck is offering sandwiches and other foods infused with marijuana. It does beg the question whether eating an edible in public is similar to smoking, which is a fine in most places that have legalized environments. So far they have had little resistance in the places they have traveled.
Magical Butter sells an at home appliance that helps users make their own oils, herbs and spices that are cannabis-infused. Their Samich (Savory Accessory Marijuana Infused Culinary Happiness) bus has officially become the first food truck to sell marijuana infused products in the new recreational environment in Washington State.
Decadent and Delicious
With treats such as peanut butter and jelly, truffle popcorn, and Vietnamese pork banh mi, the truck seeks to show that gourmet meals can be made with cannabis butter, oils and herbs. Often times cannabis edibles are heavily focused on the potency, which tends to sacrifice the flavor of the food as more of the herb is used. They want to introduce the public to hundreds of recipes that can bring out the sophisticated flavors of Arjan’s Super Lemon Haze from Green House Seed Co.
The company is not entirely focused on marijuana either. While their machine is quite good at adding THC to cream, butter, and oils, it can also do so with a range of other herbs as well. Magical Butter is heavily focused on creating flavorful food infused with new traits and health benefits from the last 50 years of essential oil research.
A Changing Edible Law
Their success and attempts to reach into new markets is coming at the perfect time in terms of Colorado’s market. Recently there has been a campaign to not sell edibles aside from lozenges and tinctures after a rash of accidental deaths associated with edibles with too much THC. The Magical Butter machine will easily allow Colorado residents to explore their gourmet cannabis desires and likely be a hit success whether or not the law changes.
The cases in Colorado are certainly tragic and unfortunate and an example of why doses need to be regulated. With some chocolate bars and lollipops exceeding 100mg of THC, there is enough for 8-10 doses per edible. A more reasonable limit on the THC will likely be established and edibles will carry on as they were, with less emphasis on colorful sweets that might attract children.
