Read on to learn how to cook with marijuana. Discover eleven luscious recipes for your mornings, snacks, and nights.
THC Recipes: Explaining the Basics
Marijuana edibles are a unique cannabis experience and an exciting culinary experiment. However, they’re not as straightforward as rolling up and lighting up.
Before sharing the recipes, we need to clarify the basic principle of cooking with marijuana. You can’t grind buds and add them to cookie batter. It’ll taste bad and deliver no effects.
You have to start with decarboxylation.
This process involves heating your marijuana flower to activate its contents. Bake buds at 240–248° F for 40 minutes to transform cannabinoids into a form your body can interact with.
You’ll then process your decarbed cannabis for cooking purposes.
Since CBD and THC are fat-soluble, people usually combine them with oil, coconut oil, or butter. That way, you end up with easy and versatile cooking ingredients.
Once you have the cannaoil or cannabutter, use them for original cooking experiments and the cannabis-infused food we’re about to discuss.
