Space cake

Space Cake is a type of edible that contains cannabis. It is a popular method of consuming cannabis, especially in places where cannabis is legal. The term "space cake" comes from the feeling of being "spaced out" after consuming the cake.

History

The use of cannabis in food dates back to ancient times. In India, a drink called bhang has been consumed for centuries. Bhang is made by grinding cannabis plants into a paste and mixing it with milk and spices. The concept of a space cake, a sweet baked good containing cannabis, is a relatively modern invention.

Preparation

The preparation of a space cake involves baking a cake and incorporating cannabis into it. The most common method is to infuse the cannabis into butter or oil, which is then used in the cake recipe. The cannabis must be heated in order to activate the THC, the psychoactive compound that produces the "high". This process is known as decarboxylation.

Effects

The effects of consuming a space cake can vary greatly depending on the amount of cannabis used in the cake and the tolerance of the individual consuming it. Effects can include relaxation, euphoria, increased appetite, and altered perception. It is important to note that the effects of consuming cannabis in a space cake can take longer to onset and last longer compared to smoking or vaping cannabis.

Legal Status

The legal status of space cakes varies by country and even by states or provinces within countries. In some places, such as the Netherlands, space cakes are sold in coffee shops and are legal for adults to consume. In other places, the sale and consumption of space cakes may be illegal.
