Brownie high
Talk about a delicious high.
I came across an interesting article in PDI today titled "Hashish oil used in cakes" Here's an excerpt:
IF that piece of brownie you’re eating is giving you an unusual high, one of its ingredients might just be hashish oil, according to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).
Operatives of the NBI National Capital Region (NCR) have received information that marijuana farmers in Benguet, Ifugao and Mountain Province have been mixing the plant extract, also called hashish oil, with baked goods like cakes and cookies.
"These farmers reportedly bake the brownies and cakes at the plantations and sell them in Subic, Olongapo, and other areas in the lowlands," Special Investigator Federico Criste said during a press conference at the NBI yesterday.
Before the farmers learned to extract hashish oil, they used dried marijuana leaves as one of the ingredients in baking the "special cakes and brownies," Criste explained.
NBI forensic chemist Aida Magsipoc said consumers of baked goods with hashish oil could experience "more potent effects because of the products’ more concentrated drug content."
Magsipoc said they tried to extract oil from the marijuana plant several years ago. "We discovered that it took a lot of plants to extract 100 ml of hashish oil," the forensic chemist said.
[She] explained that 5-10 kilos of marijuana were needed to extract 100 ml of the oil.
Geez, what will they think of next.

I know about hashish oil. Full disclosure: I've even tried this once a year or so ago. You can dip the tip of a cigarette into the oil and light it up. I'm surprised the police have only learned of its existence now.
I'm sure the police have known of it for a while. Alam mo naman dito sa atin. So, how did you find it?
It wasn't as potent as the regular spliff. Then again, since I'm not really a user and just made tikim, I wouldn't know if the oil we used was potent to begin with or the joints I've tried were really strong. Both times I just wanted to eat a lot so we went on a food trip. Then again, since I also eat a lot normally, I'm not sure it's the effect of the drug, hahaha!
