If you are served with a real marijuana ice cream, would you take the challenge to eat it?
Cannabis Creamery, an ice cream store in a hippie-centric community of Sausalito in California, is living up to its name by reportedly supplying cannabis-flavored or marijuana ice creams to those who want to experience a "kick" and some sweetness at the same time.
"To give you first and foremost a high quality tasting ice cream with a kick to it," the company said in its official Facebook page.
Their marijuana ice cream is combined with flavors such as mint chip, coffee and citrus, a report by the International Business Times said. It also contains no genetically modified organisms and comes in full organic content.
The report said Cannabis Creamery is a legal and non-profit collective that provides marijuana ice cream to medical marijuana dispensaries for over a year now. The ice cream flavor reportedly has around 60 milligrams of "pot" per pre-packaged four-ounce cup, and said it will produce even "stronger doses in the future."
Isaac Lappert, the man behind this marijuana flavored ice cream, said in the report that he is able to sell between 4,000 to 5,000 cups of this kind of ice cream per week. The ice cream reportedly contains tetrahydrocannabinol, a compound that gives marijuana consumers the kick.
Lapper told IB Times that around 90 percent of the patrons are recreational users with the rest consuming it for medicinal reasons.
"I know someone who has an eating disorder, and it helps her with her appetite," he said in the report. "And my aunt is recovering from chemo, and the ice cream hits fast, and goes down easy."
"Because [the compound] binds to fat cells, it can affect people differently depending on what they weigh, in the same way alcohol does," he added.
The legalization of marijuana has been a topic of many debates recently, because of its effects among recreational users and the need for medical purposes.
