Light some candles, grab your favorite strain, and get ready to bake your way through autumn with these easy, delicious weed-infused recipes.
How to Make Infused Fall Snacks
You can make almost any fall recipe a cannabis creation by swapping regular butter or oil for THC-infused butter (cannabutter) or THC oil (we prefer coconut oil). Many dispensaries sell pre-made cannabis oils and tinctures that can be added directly to food or drinks.
If you want to make your own, all you need to do is decarboxylate your flower; a quick heating process that activates the THC. Using a dry herb vape is an easy way to get high from your weed twice. Vaping it activates the THC, so you can save your cashed bowls and use them to infuse your butter or oil!
Quick Guide to Decarbing Cannabis
Raw cannabis doesn't get you high unless it's been heated, or decarbed. If you aren't saving your AVB (already vaped bud) from your vape, here's an easy way to decarb at home:
- Preheat your oven to 220°F (104°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly break up your nugs (don't grind too fine) and spread it evenly on the sheet.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- Let it cool, it should look lightly toasted and golden brown.
Now it's ready to infuse into butter or oil.
How to Dose Cannabis-Infused Butter
Once you've got your cannabutter, you can use it in place of regular butter in any recipe. The key is dosing it properly so your edibles are enjoyable, not overwhelming.
As a quick rule of thumb:
- Multiply the grams of weed by the THC percentage, then multiply by 1,000 to get your total mg of THC.
- For example: 10g of cannabis at 10% THC = 1,000mg THC total
- Divide that by the number of servings in your recipe to get a rough estimate per piece.
