Cooking With Cannabis

Decarboxylate The Cannabis

Before you start cooking with cannabis, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, it is important to decarboxylate the cannabis before using it in your recipes. This involves heating the cannabis to activate the THC, which will allow it to be absorbed into the body when ingested.

To decarboxylate your cannabis, simply spread it out on a baking sheet and bake it in the oven at 240°F (115°C) for 30-40 minutes. Once the cannabis has been decarboxylated, it can be added to oils or butter to create an infused ingredient.

When it comes to recipes, the sky is the limit. From classic comfort foods like mac and cheese and brownies to more sophisticated dishes like cannabis-infused risotto and roasted vegetables, there is something for everyone.
