Vegan at the Cannabis Cup!
Andrew and I had an amazing time at the socal cannabis cup this past weekend. We had an unforgettable experience tasting and sampling weeds, concentrates, and yes-vegan friendly edibles (pictures below)! I was amazed at how little I had to turn down the free samples and discovered so many cannabis infused foods that blew my mind and delighted my taste buds.
I also scored some veganic grown weed by Buds and Roses!
I wish I could get veggies grown this good! If you perhaps grow ANYTHING consumable, I highly recommend looking into a vegan organic growing process. The difference is highly noticeable with cannabis and can also improve the quality of veggies, fruits, nuts, and anything grown for consumption!
Rollin VIP! 😉

Some awesome kief infused teas handed out for free!
OG Kush Pot Sauce! 420 mg per bottle! So excited for this stuff. We sampled it at the event and it’s awesome. We always buy the hot but this is the first brand that we’ve had to stick to mild. This stuff is hottt.
Two Sticky Peanut Butter….yummmm!
Pizza Sauce! Another one we sampled at the event and it was totally delicious. It will be making an appearance on our valentines day this saturday 🙂
Also not pictured were some chili lime peanuts and salted pretzels from Aunty Dolores that were quickly munched before I could snap a photo. They were honestly tastier than anything I’ve bought in a grocery store. Throughout our dabbin around we also sampled infused slushies, sparkling water, chocolate, and candy all vegan friendly!
Andrew had a delectable looking creme brulee that won second place for best edible, however sadly was not vegan.
On our way back home we hit Santa Monica and Venice Beach for some fun and found an intoxicatingly rare totally vegan restaurant called Seed. Andrew and I agree that between the two meals we ordered the Seitan Sirloin was the star of the show–and for good reason. This burger was amazing . This restaurant was amazing. And if you live in Venice Beach I am so jealous of you.

My double scoop of Nice Cream Sorbet! :):)
It’s always great to visit a totally vegan restaurant and not have to worry about food being contaminated or anything. It would also be great to have a selection of veganically grown produce, but we are unaware of any options around here. Sounds like it was a lot of fun! Are you considering doing reviews of the veganic cannabis or maybe a post about the difference between conventional and veganic? Thanks for sharing! ☮

For sure. I’d like to keep my blog primarily about recipes, but Id be happy to discuss any of it with you. 🙂
I’ve sampled all three of the veganic strains I got which were Starberry, Super Lemon Haze, and LA Confidential. In terms of weed, the plant absorbs animal byproducts be it in the nutrients or the soil when it is grown traditionally. When it’s consumed the absorbed byproducts affect the quality of the flower. Growing with animal byproducts will make the weed harsher, burn the throat more, and make you cough more. Smoking vegan grown weed genuinely hits more naturally. I have for the past 8 years chronically coughed while smoking as though it was my first time, but with vegan weed, I was able to smoke entire bowls without a single clearing of the throat. I cannot say the absolute cause is the lack of byproducts in the growing process, but with such a monumental difference, I am personally convinced.
As for flavour, the Super Lemon was my personal favourite but I am definitely more keen on the piney fresh strains. The Starberry was super sweet and bold and La Confidential was smooth, dark, and tasty.
The whole idea of growing veganic is to avoid the consumable from absorbing potentially harmful byproducts/chemicals. It is common for humans to have unfavourable reactions to consuming materials such as absorbed bat guano and worm castings that are often accepted as ordinary discomfort or fatigue. However if we grow pure, we eat pure, we live pure. 🙂
I wish we had veganic grown produce around here as well
But I suppose that’s what keeps us chugging to buy some land and grown our food right. 🙂
