THC-Infused Guacamole
Guacamole is already one of the greatest things you can put in front of people. Add a dose of cannabis-infused olive oil and it becomes something else entirely. This recipe is simple, fast, and easy to customize depending on how you like your guac. It also doubles as a great way to stretch a small amount of infused oil across a shareable dish, which makes dosing a little more manageable for a group.
Whether you're hosting a sesh or just looking for a solid snack, this one's worth having in the rotation.
How to Make Cannabis-Infused Olive Oil
Before you can make infused guac, you need infused olive oil. The good news is it's a straightforward process that only takes a few hours.
What you need:
- 1 cup olive oil
- 3.5g-7g decarboxylated cannabis flower (already vaped! Adjust based on desired potency)
Steps:
- Decarb your flower. You can do this gradually by collecting your cashed vape bowls, or bake it on a baking sheet at 245°F (118°C) for 30-40 minutes.
- Combine and heat low and slow. Add your decarbed flower and olive oil to a small saucepan or double boiler. Keep the temperature between 160-200°F (71-93°C) for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Never let it boil.
- Strain and store. Pour the oil through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer into a glass jar. Squeeze out as much oil as possible, then discard the plant material. Store in a cool, dark place for up to two months.
A few tips: the lower the heat and longer the infusion, the more consistent the final product. Patience here pays off in potency.
You can also find cannabis-infused olive oil at many dispensaries if you'd rather skip the DIY process.
Dosing Your Infused Guacamole
This recipe uses 1 tablespoon of infused olive oil split across multiple servings, which keps individual doses reasonable.
A few ground rules for shared infused food:
- Always let people know the guac is infused before they dig in.
- Give THC edibles at least 30-60 minutes before deciding whether to have more.
- Keep a plain bowl of guac available for anyone who isn't partaking.

- 1/2 tsp black pepper

Tip: Leave 1 avocado pit in the bowl and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guac if you're not serving it right away. This slows the browning. Just toss the pit when you're ready to serve.
