Two pages of results at Amazon.com for books on cannabis cookery!\n<\/ul>\n<p>I don&#8217;t personally indulge in cannabis cookery. Partly because cookery of any sort is against my religion. (Except, naturally, whipping up the occasional pan of fried Cheerios; we all have our vices.) Partly because &#8212; long ago and far away &#8212; a friend once gave me a &#8220;special&#8221; brownie formulated with enough herb to make me unable to walk. I darned near threw up on my friend&#8217;s shoes, besides. Not cool. Until then, I had no idea that innocent old &#8220;marijuana&#8221; could, anywhere in this universe or any other, produce results more impairing than alcohol or acid. Since that day, I&#8217;ve once or twice experienced more normal <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alice_B._Toklas\" target=\"_blank\">Alice B. Toklas<\/a> brownies &#8212; and they&#8217;re still just not for me. <\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, a bit of shrimp saut\u00e9ed in butter with a few drops of special oil added, or nice fresh salad with a touch of enhanced oilve oil could make a delightful dinner.
