As a cannabis enthusiast, you may be looking for different ways to consume weed than just your regular joint. For variety, you can try out all types of different brands, flavours, and products at a marijuana dispensary. You can also try out the different kinds of cannabis recipes.
You have no shortage of cannabis recipes to choose from. The problem is where to start. Whether you’re just starting on the journey of making weed edibles or you’re looking for a new recipe to spice things up, we’ve got you covered. We’ve put together a list of the best weed recipes that are so easy anyone can follow them.
Before you head to the kitchen though, it’s a good idea to have a solid understanding of cooking with weed. To make cannabis edibles, you either need to first make cannabutter, cannaoil, weed milk, or cannasugar. Cooks most commonly make edibles with weed butter. Cooking oil can also be infused with cannabis to make a range of recipes.
Making cannabis-infused milk is a simple and quick way to make edibles, while weed sugar is a bit more complex to make, requiring you to infuse high-proof alcohol with decarboxylated weed. You can also try your hand at cannabis almond milk, cannabis flour, or cannabis mayo if you’re feeling fancy.
