Mac n Meds

This recipe makes 8 servings and can be made at Regular strenght or Extra strength depending on your needs. It should also be noted that eating marijuana edibles is an effective way to medicate but it can take anywhere between 20 minutes to 1 hour to feel the effects of the edible medicine.  The full effect will usually be felt after about 1 hour and the pain relief can last from 4-6 hours.
 
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Butter an 8x8 square baking pan (or use non-stick spray if you prefer)  Set aside.

In a large pasta pot, boil enough water to cook your pasta.  You will need 3 1/2 Cups of partially cooked pasta for this recipe.  I used a gluten free brown rice penne pasta for mine, but you can use your favorite pasta. 

Cook your pasta according to directions on your pasta but stop cooking 2-3 minutes before the directions say.  This will be only partially cooked and the final cooking will happen in the oven.

Drain pasta, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside.

Now we'll make the sauce.  You will need:

2 Tablespoons butter 
3 Tablespoons of flour
1 1/2 Cup milk
1 3/4 Cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar
1/3 Cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
3/4 tsp salt
dash of pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder

Melt the butter in a large skillet.  Add the flour and stir together forming a rue.  Cook this rue on medium heat until golden (about 5 minutes)

Slowly whisk in the milk until you have a thick gravy like mixture.

Remove the pan from the heat.

Add in the cheeses, salt, pepper, garlic powder and chili powder and stir all together to melt the cheese.

Now add in the pasta you prepared above.  Stir together and pour this into your buttered pan. 

Now for the medicine! 
 ***To make Regular strength sprinkle 4 grams of dry sift kief over the pasta mixture. This will make 8 @ 1/8th gram servings.
***To make Extra Strength sprinkle 8 grams of dry sift kief over the pasta mixture. This will make 8 @ 1/4 gram servings.

In a separate bowl combine 1/4 Cup of Shredded Sharp Cheddar and 1/4 Cup of Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese.  Toss them together.  Add this mixture over the kief.  Sprinkle with Chili powder.

Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.  

Remove from the oven and let it stand for 8 minutes. 

Stay Elivated and Enjoy!
