Dopey Doughnut Holes Are Easy To Make, Delicious And The Perfect Edibles Snack For Anytime
Dopey doughnut holes are donut holes loaded with cannabis sugar and cannabis-infused coconut oil. They are bitesize balls of deliciously flavoured and deep-fried sweet dough, rolled in cannabis sugar and enjoyed while they are still a little bit warm.
Doughnuts
Doughnuts are a type of fried sweet dough confection. They are popular in many countries and prepared in various forms, they can be filled and almost always glazed. ‘Donut’ is a shortened Americanized word for ‘doughnut’ and is widely accepted in American and Canadian English. These delicious treats can be purchased at bakeries, supermarkets, food stalls and speciality vendors, BUT they are super easy to make.
One of the first times the word doughnut was mentioned was in the 1809 book; A History of New York, from the Begining of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty by Washington Irving. It eloquently defines the word; “[…] it was always sure to boast of an enormous dish of balls of sweetened dough, fried in hog’s fat, and called dough-nuts, or oly koeks: a delicious kind of cake, at present scarce known in this city, excepting in genuine Dutch families”.
There are many different types of doughnuts, they are usually fried, but can be baked. The dough is usually flour-based and contains water, leavening, eggs, milk, sugar, oil, shortening, and flavours. Although there are many different recipes, these basic ingredients are normally used in some ratio. Once cooked the doughnut can be glazed with sugar icing, spread with icing or chocolate or topped with powder sugar, cinnamon, sprinkles or fruits.
Shapes
Doughnuts are typically ring-shaped but they could be a number of different designs without a hole, these can be injected with fruit jams, custard or other flavoured sweet fillings. Ring doughnuts are formed in one of two ways. The first method is by joining the ends of a long skinny piece of dough into a ring. The second technique cuts the out- and in-side shapes at the same time, naturally forming doughnut holes. Alternatively, a doughnut depositor places a circle of batter or liquid dough into the fryer
Proudly South African
In South Africa, we have a variation called the Koeksister which is an Afrikaner braided confectionery soaked in honey or syrup. Also, the more traditionally shaped doughnut; the Cape Malay Koesister which is soaked in spiced syrup and coated in coconut.

Cold Cannabis Coffee A DIY Recipe To Get You Up and Keep You Going
Cannabis and coffee are popular across the globe! Some of us rely on the ever-faithful wake-and-bake to get us out of bed, while others prefer caffeine to get going. Although not much study has been done in the field it is thought that caffeine could prolong the effects of cannabis, more specifically of the psychoactive THC. Cold Cannabis Coffee is a delicious motivation to get up, and keep going!
Caffeine and cannabis are both responsible for the happy-hormone Dopamine. A study published during 2017 in the journal Annals of Neuroscience, suggests combining the two could create an increased sense of euphoria for some consumers. One fact we do know for sure, cannabis affects everyone differently. Each person’s endocannabinoid system is about as unique as the impression left by their fingerprints.
Smoking vs Ingesting
When smoking cannabis it enters the bloodstream fairly quickly, whereas the liver is largely responsible for metabolizing the compounds in the holy ‘erb. Pretty much the same happens when consuming caffeine, which might pose a potential risk to liver health.
Iced coffee is a type of coffee beverage served chilled. It is normally made from hot brew coffee which has been cooled by pouring it over ice or into ice-cold milk. Sweeteners and flavouring are often added into the hot coffee before cooling it, because they dissolve easier in hot liquid. The coffee base is generally brewed at a higher strength, due to the dilution caused when pouring the hot coffee over the ice.
The first documented iced coffee was known as Mazagran, prepared with coffee syrup and cold water. It was referred to as ‘the original iced coffee’ by Algerians in the 1840s. It was first popularized in the 1920s in the United States by the Joint Coffee Trade Publicity Committee (JCTPC) and later marketed by chain outlets like Burger King, Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks.
Iced coffee has been popular across the globe for some time now and, as with most things, each culture has put its unique stamp on versions of this refreshing libation. The Portuguese serve theirs with lemon, and rum on celebratory occasions. During the summer months in Chile, they serve Cafe Helado, which is made with strong coffee, ice cream and dulce de leche topped with whipped cream and nuts
With a rise of infused coffee products, the development of cannabis edibles and the increased effort for global legalization; a marriage between caffeine and cannabis was inevitable. Here is our version of an easy-to-make Cold Cannabis Coffee favoured with Stoner Chocolate Sauce and Cannabis-infused Coconut oil. This chilled beverage is sure to get you up and keep you going!

Cape Cannabis Club Suspends Operations After Police Raid
The Cape Cannabis Club has suspended its operations and services after police cracked down on another grow club in Cape Town, called The Haze Club.
Fans of the grow club (C3) were notified via newsletter of the sad news that reads:
The Cape Cannabis Club (C3) has taken the decision to suspend operations immediately. We have done this after extensive consultation with our legal team. The SAPS raided another Cannabis Grow Club (The Haze Club) in October and the NDPP have subsequently charged their two directors criminally and have confiscated all their equipment.
The SAPS and the NDPP have made it clear that they consider all Cannabis Grow Clubs to be illegal. Clearly, our legal team’s interpretation of the law as it now stands is completely different to that of the SAPS and the NDPP.
In order to seek clarity on the legality of Cannabis Grow Clubs, C3 has taken the decision to institute legal action to seek a Declaratory Order from the Courts, asking them to decide on the legality of the Cannabis Grow Club Model. Our Legal team and the directors believe that we will be successful in a court of law and that a judge will uphold the constitutional rights of all adults in South Africa to cultivate, possess, and consume cannabis in this country in private.
This Constitutional right would also involve paying a membership fee to a Grow Club to grow, harvest, cure, store and deliver the final cannabis product to the member’s private address anywhere in South Africa.
We trust that you understand our position and that we have the best interests of our members and staff in mind.
We will stay in contact with our members directly and keep you all informed of developments in this regard. All outstanding orders will be refunded.
The battle for full and proper legalisation of our favourite plant continues!
The C3 Team – 10 December 2020In October 2020, Western Cape Police performed a raid at a perceived hydroponic dagga “laboratory” in Ottery, located in the South Suburbs of Cape Town. Fieldsofgreenforall.org.za confirmed it was The Haze Club (THC) – a Growers Club who practice our Constitutional Right to Privacy on behalf of members of their Club.
Describing itself as South Africa’s first 100% legal premium growing service, the owners of The Haze Club is preparing to challenge their arrest and charges of drug trafficking in court. While out on bail, the duo is preparing to defend the legality of their business in a case which will have wide-reaching consequences for the cannabis industry and community across South Africa.
What is a Grow Club?
Grow Clubs, also known as Cannabis Social Clubs, are associations of cannabis consumers that help them with safe cultivation and the consumption of cannabis for their personal use. Most Grow Clubs in South Africa operate under a similar model: Members pay a monthly membership fee and supply seeds or plant clones. The club experts then grow the plant to maturity, harvest and dry the cannabis, and deliver the finished product back to the member.
As explained on The Haze Club website: “To comply with the law, individual areas in the club’s grow facility are demarcated and leased to its members – thereby making it their private space. The club simply assists members in exercising their constitutional right to grow cannabis in their own private space.”
The Haze Club and its owners are being represented by top attorneys on a pro-bono basis, IOL reports. Confident in winning the case, a suit at the firm said he believes that if grow clubs are operated within strict confines, they are within the law and align with the intentions of the Constitutional Court.
The implication is that, if we are successful in this case, as we think that we will be, it would be a clear message to the SAPS and the NPA that they are to leave legal grow clubs (and their members) alone. No more ‘war’ on cannabis users.
If the model survives judicial scrutiny, as we predict that it will, this will be a ‘green light’ for those wishing either to start a legitimate club, or to join one as a member.
Paul-Michael Keichel of Schindlers AttorneysLast time we checked, Stoned Citizens had until end November 2020 to comment on the Cannabis For Private Purposes Bill. This after Parliament failed to meet the Constitutional Court’s deadline of 24 months to make the necessary legislative amendments for the private possession and use of marijuana.

We Honour Mary Jane With Her Own Version Of A Classic: Mary Jane’s Old Fashioned
“I’m in love with a plain old-fashion girl, she’s the most beautiful person in the world, her smile is so warm and her eyes burn so deep,” The Commodores’ 1980 Old Fashioned Love fills the spaces between the smoke trail left by Mary Jane. We Honour Mary Jane with her very own version of one of the worlds oldest assembled elixir: Mary Jane’s Old Fashioned.
The term ‘Mary Jane’ was first printed in Time magazine in the 1930s. It is believed to have been derived from the Mexican-Spanish word ‘marijuana’ which means; the weed that intoxicates. When breaking marijuana into two words, it forms two traditional Spanish names; Maria and Juana. Mary Jane is rumoured to be the English adaption of these names.
The Classic Old Fashioned
The Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail made by muddling sugar with bitters and water, adding whisk(e)y or rye, expressing orange zest over the drink before dropping it in the glass alongside a cocktail cherry. The old-timey potion is recognised as an IBA official cocktail, listed as one of the six basic drinks in David A. Embury’s The Fine Art Of Mixing Drinks.
The first written account defining the word cocktail was published in Hudson, New York on 13 May 1806. The editor of The Balance and Columbian Repository wrote that it was a potent concoction of spirits, bitters, water and sugar. It was in response to a reader’s letter the week before, asking for the word to be defined. Basically description the version of the Old Fashioned we have come to love and adore.
On January 1, 1936; The New York Times published an article containing cocktail recipes written by a man who was reflecting on the years following the end of prohibition.
“Consider, for instance, the Old-Fashioned cocktail. Time was when the affable and sympathetic bartender moistened a lump of sugar with Angostura bitter, dropped in a lump of ice, neither too large or too small, stuck in a miniature bar spoon and passed the glass to the client with a bottle of good bourbon from which said client was privileged to pour his own drink.”
Mary Jane’s Old Fashioned
A toast in honour of the lady of cannabis, here it is; Mary Jane’s Old Fashioned! We opted to use a stoner staple: cannabis sugar. You could make an alcohol extract by leaving ~15g ground-up cannabis flower in a bottle of whisk(e)y for any amount of time ranging from three to thirty days.
