How to Make Weed Edibles: The Basics
Before diving into recipes, it’s important to understand the foundation of how to make weed edibles: decarboxylation and infusion.
Step 1: Decarboxylate Your Cannabis
Raw cannabis won’t get you high if you eat it because THC is in its non-psychoactive form, THCA. To activate the THC, you need to decarboxylate it—essentially baking it at a low temperature.
How to Decarb Cannabis:
- Preheat your oven to 220-240°F (105-115°C).
- Lightly grind your cannabis to increase surface area but don’t powder it too fine.
- Spread it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.
- Once decarbed, your cannabis is ready for infusion!
Step 2: Infuse It Into a Fat
THC binds to fat, which is why butter or oil is the best medium when learning how to make weed edibles.
How to Make Cannabutter or Cannabis Oil:
- Melt butter or heat oil (coconut oil works great) over low heat.
- Add decarbed cannabis and let it simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove plant material.
- Store your infused butter or oil in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Now, you’re ready to use the infused butter to make any type of weed edibles your heart desires.
