SPACECAKE - NOW 'ECOLOGICALLY SOUND'!

Per an article in the Gazet van Antwerpen, coffee shops in Amsterdam want to contribute their bit to saving the world.

The gist of this is that some of the infamous Dutch coffee shops, which specialize in pot and hashish preparations, will start making an 'animal friendly' version of a confection known as spacecake. To wit, they will no longer use eggs from oppressed battery chickens, but instead utilize eggs lovingly and calmly extruded by happy chickens that run around freely pecking at worms.

This is great news. I'm sure you're all giddy.


It is also misleading. Most hashish or marijuana confections make use of what is called cannabutter - clarified butter in which the active components (cannabinoids) are dissolved or suspended, by a process of heating the butter with the key ingredient.
[Think of it as ghee for potheads.]

Butter, as you know, comes from cows.
And most cows do not run around happily pecking at worms. Many cows actually have far less light hearted personalities, due to their grim lifestyle and depressive bovine points of view.

Moo.
