I had a delicious food idea and I will share. I made a medicated spanakopita for a patient with fibromyalgia who, by the way, is a new person since she began treating her illness with cannabis. I have photos of her literally jumping for joy. Anyway, I had extra filling so I decided to make spanakopita quesadillas. Super easy and fast and the crispy flour tortilla gets puffy and the whole thing is just great. Different from a multi-layered and time intensive spanakopita, but honestly, this is one great quesadilla.
I used the strain Pineapple Thai for this batch of oil. It is pretty powerful and gives me a relaxed and not very heady high. With high CBD content this is an amazing weed for folks trying to manage their pain and not get wasted. It has an earthy taste and I actually think I detected a hint of pineapple. I had a great night’s sleep, no aches and pains at all, and I would label this an excellent weed if you are looking to not get crazy high but want some relief.
