Funny, but aside from the stilton the recipe sounds a little Thai, and sonds
good (especially w/ the icy lager).  Did you make your own crust?

But you know the pot doesn't work too well (assuming you want more than flavor
from it) just thrown into the mix and cooked along with the rest.  It needs to
simmer slowly into some sort of fat (like butter or oil which could then maybe
be added to a sauce) so that the THC can infuse into the fat, which is it's
delivery vehicle (and also why it stays in one's system so long).  But that
would make for a greasy pizza, which is why it's a better ingrediant for
someting like bread or cookies, anything which calls for a stick or two of
butter...  As for the mushrooms (assuming the magic kind), I'd be afraid
cooking them would ruin their magic.
