Black pepper and edibles

So it is a well established fact that black pepper inhibits an enzyme that prevents absorption of many beneficial chemicals like curcuminoids, carotenoids, flavonoids, etc.

Does anyone have experience with piperine and cannabis?

I might be trippin but I think it’s a huge difference to the oral bioavailability of weed just the same! I checked google but couldn’t find a quantitative study before I gave up, just that it theoretically should help with cannabinoids and many many things by blocking glucuronidation.

Just hoping to share the wealth that is black pepper with you guys! I put it on just about anything because it is already one of the cheapest spices and it increases the health benefits of so much!

I only know that black pepper can help to calm you down if you got anxiety from weed.

It is indeed useful alone for different things, possibly nausea and it is definitely an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, as well being hot-spicy and dark flavored!

One of my favorite things in food!

If you are a lover of black pepper, ‘butchers grind’ is the Patricians choice.
Go thru about 3 lbs per annum in my kitchen.

I will have to try that brand. I like to put spices and olive oil in v8 juice to make it more appetizing and since I drink so much of that along with all my other vegetarian meals I too go through multiple pounds of the store brand stuff per year because I can get it on sale. It’s almost a sin it’s so black and magical but it’s definitely nothing to brag about lol :crazy_face:

Not a brand, it’s a very coarse grind, you cannot use a regular pepper shaker.
I use a glass spice bottle with a hole cut into the plastic inner cover, think ‘big pepper’.
Order from Amazon, grocery stores will not have it, maybe culinary stores.

Very neat. Have you tried using a coffee grinder to grind your own corns in bulk? A hand grinder takes too long to use but I’ve used a coffee grinder with great success before!

I need to ‘UP’ my pepper game. Have pounds of whole corns I was to lazy to hand grind.
Thanks for the tip.

Black pepper has been traditionally used in preparation of bhang in India …I think it aids in better absorption when cannabis is taken orally.
