Let’s get cooking. But, first, don’t forget to…
Decarb Your Cannabis
If you’ve never cooked with cannabis and wonder, “how do I make edibles?” know it begins with decarboxylation. Without this process, your dish has no effect whatsoever—it activates the cannabinoids (CBD and THC) to give you the iconic buzz.
The name may sound scientific, but the method is simple. Lay crumbled weed over a baking tray and cook at 215 to 225 degrees Fahrenheit for roughly 45 minutes.
What is a cannabis high, and how does it feel? Find out through cooking up a storm with our marijuana edibles recipes below.
1. Weed Bacon
This weed edible recipe is for you if you love a weekend breakfast treat or anything savory. It’s quick, easy, and effective. Grab your ground and decarbed cannabis and sprinkle it on one side of the bacon. Set the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for 10 minutes.
Turn the bacon over and sprinkle more weed on the other side. Repeat the cooking process. Your cheeky crispy edible is now ready for consumption. But, wait. It gets even better. You now have delicious infused bacon grease to use for other dishes.
2. Cannabutter
Have you been learning how to grow weed indoors and now want to make something tasty that lasts with those juicy nugs? This basic recipe gives you an ingredient to use time and time again for any dish you please.
Melt the butter in a saucepan with a bit of water, so it doesn’t burn. Add a bit of decarbed weed and simmer on low heat for 2–3 hours. With a cheesecloth, strain the liquid into a jar and refrigerate. That’s it! Now it’s ready to use in one of the best edibles to make with butter.
3. Special Brownies
We couldn’t create this list of marijuana treats and not add the legend that is a weed brownie. Get your cannabutter out and mix it with eggs, water, and your favorite brownie mix. Pour the mixture into a lined baking tray and cook for 30 minutes at 330 degrees Fahrenheit.
Take the brownies out of the oven and let them cool before enjoying one of the best homemade edibles in existence.
4. Cannabis Oil
If you don’t like cooking with butter, try making oil instead. Use this ingredient as a foundation of any meal, or pour it over your favorite summer salad as part of a dressing.
Take 2 cups of the oil of your choice and an ounce of decarbed weed. Heat for a minimum of 6 hours without boiling. Use water if needed to stop it from burning. Strain the oil into a jar or bottle and use it any way you like.
5. High Flying Ice Cream
Prefer something cold to warm baked goods? You’ll love this cool, easy-to-make edible weed recipe if you have a sweet tooth. Melt 16 ounces of heavy cream in a pan at medium heat. Melt in some cannabutter and add sugar to taste.
Now’s the fun part. Grab any addition you like—choc chips, strawberries, nuts—and mix it in. Pour everything into a tub and let it freeze while you sleep. Your delicious homemade ice cream is now ready to enjoy.
6. Marijuana Lollies
If you want easy cannabis recipes you can enjoy on the go, these lollies are ideal. You need a marijuana tincture for this, but it’s simple to make by soaking decarbed weed in alcohol for 21 days.
Once it’s ready, mix sugar, corn syrup, and water and heat on medium in a saucepan. When the sugar dissolves, heat it to boiling and let it simmer for 5–7 minutes. Immediately remove the pan from the hob and immerse it in ice water.
Mix in your cannabis tincture and quickly pour the liquid into lollipop molds or form circles on a baking tray. Press in the sticks and add sprinkles or any addition you like. Once cooled, the treat is ready to enjoy. Keep one handy in your pocket for when you feel like it.
7. Rice Krispy Treats
The last on our easy edible recipes list involves our three childhood friends—Snap, Crackle, and Pop. Melt some cannabutter in a large pot over medium-high heat until it bubbles and turns golden around the edges.
Pour in plenty of marshmallows, some vanilla extract, and a bit of salt. Stir everything together over medium heat until melted. Remove the pan from the heat and pour in the cereal.
Stir everything together and add a few more marshmallows to the mix—don’t let them get too melted and gooey. Pour it all into a baking dish lined with foil and press evenly. Let it cool for an hour before portioning and eating your heart out.
