Richmond Ice Creamery Features Grateful Dead-Inspired Marijuana Ice Cream

Richmond is now home to an ice creamery that features medical marijuana.

The Richmond Confidential reports 24-year-old Isaac Lappert as the owner and operator of "Cannabis Creamery.

Lappert added medical marijuana to the mix last year after he heard a story from his father about a certain band of traveling musicians.

In 1983, Lappert's father made a special batch of "cannabis-infused... high-fat ice cream" for a party put on by a "ragged group of hairy musicians."

The musicians turned out to be the Grateful Dead, who ordered the same blend "several more times," according to the newspaper.

Lappert, who studied culinary arts at Le Cordon Bleu's San Francisco location, said he lab-tests every batch of marijuana-infused ice cream to make sure it contains the requisite 60 milligrams of THC.
