always use a vegetable oil in place of butter. There are many different types of vegetable oils and choosing the right one to use depends on your taste preferences and price and availability of the oils. Olive oil is very common, but it can be expensive and often not have the taste you may want for a dessert dish. A plain canola or vegetable blend oil can often be better for baking and have a smoother taste for sweets. Some folks even add a dash of salt to emulate the taste of butter. Any vegetable-based oil will work fine, but deciding what effect the taste of the oil will have on your recipe is an important consideration. Of course, you may just want to use what you have available, and that is fine, too. Cannabis can be infused into any great vegetable oil to provide excellent medicinal effects.
    In recipes that call for meat, you can often substitute for non-meat options. For example, you can still make a “Dizzy Bird” with a tofu turkey if you would like. In a dish like pot roast or pork chops, you may have a favorite meat substitute product that you can use. This book contains many great recipes that can be altered to accommodate any vegetarian diet. Also, veggies sautéed in cannabis butter or oil are always a delicious and healthy way to eat your medicine.

VEGAN DIET
    While many of the same concepts from the vegetarian section above apply to vegans as well, there are some further considerations that can enhance the vegan diet. Being vegan means one adheres to a strict plant
diet, eating nothing derived from a living being, including honey, gelatin, and whey. This means you will most likely be infusing recipes with a vegetable-based oil and substituting vegan products where needed. There may be some recipes that will not be able to be prepared vegan; but substituting alternatives, like soymilk, soy cheese, and egg substitute where applicable can make most of my recipes just fine. These types of products normally explain on the package how to integrate them into standard recipes. Also, making marijuana oil for use in other vegan recipes is a great way to make marijuana foods that meet your dietary norms. Nothing is more delicious than cannabis sesame oil drizzled over cold, crisp cucumbers on a warm summer day or a rich cannabis olive oil over sun-ripened tomatoes and fresh basil. Many oils go great with cannabis, including sesame oil and coconut oil. With a little ingenuity and common sense, you can very easily adapt most recipes to meet vegan standards and still enjoy the benefits of marijuana cooking.

SUGAR FREE, DIABETIC, AND HYPOGLYCEMIC DIETS
    Many people are unable to use sugar in their normal diets for any number of reasons. Some have medical conditions, like diabetes, while others may opt for lower calorie and low-carb alternatives. The good news is that using a sugar substitute called xylitol can make every recipe in this book that uses sugar. The ratio of xylitol to sugar is one to one, so there is no need to adjust the measurements. Simply use the xylitol in place of the sugar for delicious sweets that are safe for diabetic and hypoglycemic patients. Xylitol has about two-thirds the calories of standard sugar and a very low glycemic index. It is a better substitute than some on the market because it is naturally derived from fruits and vegetables and has virtually no aftertaste. So instead of skipping past the dessert chapter, use this great alternative and enjoy some sweet, delicious cannabis treats.

GLUTEN FREE
    The gluten free diet is becoming more common with many modern eateries offering regular gluten alternatives. You may be
allergic to gluten or simply find that your body does not process it well. Whatever the reason for avoiding gluten, there are many ways to enjoy my recipes substituting simple gluten-free alternatives. There are ample gluten-free flour mixes on the market, or you can make your own mix to accommodate the recipe. For breading, a single-grain, gluten-free flour may work,
