Italian City Launches Cannabis Ice Cream
The delicacy, which includes peeled hemp seeds as a base, was created together with Canapa Ligura, a local association that promotes health benefits associated with hemp.
It has numerous “beneficial properties due to the high presence of fatty acids, which make it a valuable way to fight and prevent different ailments including arteriosclerosis, cholesterol, osteoarthritis, respiratory disorders, eczema and acne,” the producers claim.
Hemp, or cannabis grown for industrial purposes, is refined into products such as hemp seed foods, hemp oil, wax or fuel.
However, not all ice cream cannabis experiments have been successful. In February, a couple in Iceland who made and ate their own homemade cannabis ice cream were taken to hospital after they started experiencing hallucinations.
