Eating grass, not like goats do but in the sense of eating cannabis, can be a tantalizing experience. Among cannabis edibles, the oldest and most famous is undoubtedly the space cake, a "space cake" with a high THC content, which is certainly worth trying. It is important to underline, however, that underestimating the psychoactive effects of space cake can be dangerous and potentially ruin our experience, as well as making us feel unnecessarily unwell. After reading this article you will know what is essential to keep in mind if you intend to eat a space cake or another type of cannabis edibles and if there are valid alternatives based on legal cannabis. Specifically we will see:

What is space cake?
If you've ever read up on eating cannabis or cannabis edibles , you'll certainly have heard of space cake , a cannabis-based cake known to be sold in Dutch coffee shops. In more recent times also in some Spanish clubs but especially in California, where it has become a trendy food like avocado toast.
Originally the space cake included a simple recipe based on eggs, flour, butter and sugar. Maybe yogurt or cocoa added but in short, it was a simple and genuine cake like grandma's. But with a high THC concentration.
In Dutch coffee shops you can find them in the form of brownies or muffins, sometimes as a plated cake. Now the variations are countless and it is possible to find space cakes for all tastes.
From the classic ones to the creamy ones, from the tart version to the cheesecake version. Up to the various vegan or gluten-free versions, now available in the most sought-after coffee shops.
However, all varieties have one thing in common: cannabis is chopped and dissolved in butter , margarine or seed oil. Once we have obtained this mixture , we will be able to prepare our dessert as each recipe requires.
How long does the effect last?
Eating cannabis can be very different from smoking or vaping it.
In fact, if in the first case THC has a much harder time being broken down, in the second case it already starts to break down in our saliva . When it reaches the liver it is converted into 11-hydroxy-THC, which we could define as enhanced THC.
The problem, however, is that the effect of cannabis edibles comes very slowly , so the risk is to be fooled and think superficially: "It doesn't have an effect on me, I'll eat another little piece!". When the effect kicks in it will be very powerful and if we have exaggerated with the quantities we could suddenly find ourselves in a bad trip complete with tachycardia and panic attacks.
When we smoke or vaporize cannabis the effect lasts up to about an hour and reaches its maximum peak after half an hour. Instead, the effect of a space cake can last from four to six hours , reaching its maximum peak in conjunction with the onset of the effect.
Jay Denniston , chemist and director of science at the edibles manufacturer Dixie Elixers , claims that several factors contribute to the effect of taking an edible such as space cake. For this reason, establishing its duration and psychoactive effects with general certainty is always a gamble.
A conscious and gradual use is recommended. It would be advisable to start with small pieces of cake, one or two at a time and be patient, especially the first few times, to monitor the effects and establish our personal tolerance dose.
In case you have overdone it with a space cake, find a quiet and safe place, sit down, close your eyes and drink lots of water . If you have the opportunity to vaporize light marijuana with a high CBD content , don't hesitate, it will help you counteract the psychoactive effects of TCH.
CBD sweets: our sugared almonds
After discovering and loving legal cannabis, we let CBD into our lives and many of us began to experiment with CBD-based cannabis edibles, totally free of THC and its psychoactive effects.
Cakes, loaves, biscuits and even panettone at Christmas time have been baked with success and satisfaction , all strictly based on CBD.
In this panorama of experiments, we at Terre di Cannabis have tried once again to bring out the best from our region.
On the one hand the ancient tradition of Sulmona sugared almonds , included in the list of Italian agri-food products, on the other our unmistakable hemp grown in an organic and natural way.
