Dr. Sam Mellace and his wife, Willemijn, have been cooking with cannabis since 2001, when Sam was first diagnosed with cancer. He knew that sugar-laden edibles - like the gummies found in today's dispensaries - can make cancer worse. (Refined sugar speeds the reproduction of cancer cells). So, the couple began to compile their own therapeutic canna-kitchen recipes and started counselling Dr. Mellace's patients to do the same.

Cannabis Olive Oil
Yields about 1/4 cup

Ingredients
- 1/4 ounce cured cannabis flowers, finely ground
- 1/4 cup organic extra-virgin olive oil
- coffee grinder
- fine mesh strainer
- cheesecloth
Instructions:
- Place cannabis into a coffee grinder and grind until powdered. The cannabis will stick to the inside of the grinder, so scrape it out thoroughly.

- Line a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth and place it over a bowl, wide-mouth jar, or measuring cup. Twist cannabis with cheesecloth, squeezing out every last drop of oil.
