Holidays are meant to be a time of celebration and largely revolve around food. While the holidays are a wonderful time, they can also be stressful. To kick off your holiday in a mellow fashion, enhance your baking with some Christmas cookie edibles. For those who haven't gotten into cooking with their favorite strain, this is a solid gateway. Holiday cookies are meant to be decorated and are often as known for their icings, sprinkles, and flair as the base cookie. This provides ways to customize your tastes and adjust dosages. Christmas cookies also use copious amounts of butter, and that matters when injecting them with that edible goodness.

If you’re a newbie to cannabis, you might be missing out on one of the best parts of your bud: the kief. Kief refers to trichomes, the crystalline hairs that form on the leaves of cannabis which contain the highest concentrations of cannabinoids in the plant. These trichomes are typically collected with the help of an herb grinder, which stores the powdery substance over time through the regular process of grinding your weed. Making kief is one of the oldest ways of creating marijuana concentrate and remains popular today as an alternative to other concentrates like waxes and oils.
