While the joint remains unquestionably the king of marijuana imbibing techniques, there are times when a vaporizer is just what you want. And vaporizers happen to have an added benefit for the lazy ganja cook: vaporized weed can be mixed with the nut butter of your choice to make ganja butter, no decarboxylation necessary. Start with about 4 grams of vaped weed per cup of nut butter. A note: remember these puppies take a bit of time to kick in so go easy. In the meantime crank that Zeppelin bootleg and don’t attempt to assemble any Ikea furniture. LARA BELKIN
