Steve has been growing his own cannabis since before the internet so you knows he’s knowledgeable. He’s had time to perfect his craft and now splits his time between his home in British Columbia, Canada and numerous grow operations around the world. A long time edibles lover, he shares an unusual infusion you likely haven’t heard of but will want to try, especially if you’re growing your own or know someone who is. We also talk about how he likes to use his infusion, his perspective on legalization in Canada and around the world and how BC is decriminalizing hard drugs. This is an interesting conversation with a someone who has been steeped in cannabis culture since the 80’s.

- 3 Part Fan Leaf Infusion:
- dry leaves in oven first – this decarbs & helps prevents splattering while cooking
- take 1/3 of your total fan leaves and cover with the cooking oil of your choice
- simmer on low for 20-30 minutes – the colour of the oil will go from gold to bright green
- strain and press to extract as much oil as possible
- add the next 1/3 of your fan leaves to your infused cooking oil and top off with more oil as needed
- simmer for 20-30 more minutes, then strain and press – goes from light green to dark green
- add the final 1/3 of fan leaves to the infused cooking oil, top off with oil as needed, simmer for 20-30 minutes, strain and press
- final result will be an oil that is almost black in colour
- you can use fan leaves from a male plant
- store in the refrigerator for up to 2 years – will depend on shelf life of the oil
- use as you would any infused cooking oil, great for deep frying, making green eggs & ham
