A beer that will get you drunk and high sounds like a lethal combination, but it could be bubbling up in your neighbor’s garage.

 

With the move by voters to legalize adult marijuana possession, cultivation and sales in Colorado as part of Amendment 64 Tuesday, the likelihood of pot beer is out of the question for commercial brewers, but already in the works by homebrewers.

 

While commercial brewers have no plans to use marijuana in their beers based on the fact that brewer’s recipes are regulated by federal government where marijuana is still illegal, homebrewers have been, and are expected to continue, using marijuana in home-made beer.

 

THC is slightly soluble in boiling water. Adding alcohol, oil, or butter causes the THC to dissolve better, according to thestonerscookbook.com.

 

Weakland, not sure how it would work, said THC has to have an oil catalyst, so it may have to be cooked into an oil before being added to the fermenter.
