DH and I took the short drive into Phoenix to visit the compassion club which acts as a rudimentary dispensary to buy whatever cannabis buds are available. Edibles, candies, tinctures, sodas are all on the list of things to try.

I had just finished baking breads so I took along a fresh loaf to offer as a trade.

There was a choice of two...Double Dream, a sativa and Purple Kush, an indica. For my "donation," I chose a small amount of Double Dream to see how a sativa affected my sx's and a larger amount of Purple Kush that will help with the insomnia plaguing me during the hot summer nights.

The young man who helped me was named Carlos. As I sat down to talk, I got out my bartered bread and urged him to tear off a piece and sample taste.

First question was whether the loaf was medicated.

The bread works a certain amount of magic without any additional ingredients. He said he was not able to make a trade but when I suggested he make the gram measurements "happy," he was more than compliant.

I also procured a strawberry/banana lollipop.

As I was preparing to leave his office, the young boss came in and Carlos immediately told him about my attempt to use my bread as a trade.

The boss asked if it was medicated.

And upon a small taste, he asked me if I wanted a granola bar edible. There is a gram of cannabis in a square measuring about 1 1/2" x 2".

The cost of my bread is about $6 retail and the bar is about $10 or $15 so it was a good trade.

I tried the granola bar last night. I cut off 1/3 and ate before getting into bed. I felt a small effect but by 1 AM, I had to give in and used the vaporizer for a couple draws in order to create the mindset I need for sleep.

I will try a larger amount of the granola bar tonight.

Ingredients: granola, peanuts, cashews, almonds, oats, raisins, cranberries, white yogurt chips, cannabis, honey, brown sugar, Tahitian vanilla.

It tasted very good. No green tinge.
