Decarboxylate your cannabis
If you want to make sure your cannabis edibles are potent, you need to decarboxylate your cannabis first. This process will activate the THC in the cannabis so that you can feel the effects of the edibles.
Preheat your oven to 240 degrees F
Whether you’re making cannabutter or infusing oil, the process starts with decarboxylation, or “decarbing” your weed.
Decarbing is simply the process of heating cannabis to a temperature that activates the THC and other cannabinoids so that they can infuse into whatever fat you’re using (butter, oil, ghee, etc.). If you skip this step, your edibles will likely be less potent.
Here’s how to decarb weed:
Preheat your oven to 240 degrees F. Spread your ground cannabis evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 40-60 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes or so. Let the cannabis cool before using it in your recipe.
Place your cannabis on a baking sheet
Preheat your oven to 245 degrees Fahrenheit. Place your cannabis on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread it out so that it’s a single layer and not touching. Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring every ten minutes. This will ensure even decarboxylation.
Bake for 30-40 minutes
Preheat oven to 245 degrees F. Place cannabis on baking sheet. Cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool before using.
Infuse your butter or oil
The process of making cannabutter or canna-oils is the most essential part of making edibles. If you do not infuse your butter or oil correctly, your edibles will not be potent. There are a few different ways that you can infuse your butter or oil, but the most important thing is to make sure that you do it correctly.
Place your butter or oil in a saucepan
In order to make your cannabutter or canna-oil, you will need to start by infusing your butter or oil with cannabis. This process is known as decarboxylation, and it is essential for activating the THC in your cannabis so that it can bind with the fat in your butter or oil. If you do not decarboxylate your cannabis first, your edibles will not be as potent.
To decarboxylate your cannabis, simply preheat your oven to 245 degrees Fahrenheit and spread your ground cannabis evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes so that the cannabis doesn’t burn. Once your cannabis has finished decarboxylating, it will be darker in color and should be crumbly to the touch.
Add your decarboxylated cannabis
Now it’s time to add your decarboxylated cannabis to the mix. If you’re using butter, you can add it directly to the pan. If you’re using oil, add it to a mixing bowl first. Then, use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix everything together until it’s fully combined.
Once your butter or oil is mixed with your cannabis, it’s time toinfuse it. This simply means that you’ll be heating the mixture so that the THC and other cannabinoids are released into the fat. This process is crucial if you want to make sure your edibles are potent and effective.
There are a few different ways you can infuse your butter or oil. The most common method is to heat it on the stovetop over low heat. You can also use a double boiler, a slow cooker, or even an Instant Pot set to “saute” mode. If you’re using the stovetop method, be sure to stir frequently and keep an eye on the temperature. You don’t want it to get too hot, or else you risk ruining your infusion.
Once your butter or oil has been infused with cannabis, simply remove it from the heat and allow it to cool. Then, store it in a covered container in the fridge until you’re ready to use it in your favorite recipes!
Simmer on low for 2-3 hours
This is the most important part of the process. You need to simmer your butter or oil on low heat for 2-3 hours. This will allow the THC to infuse into the butter or oil. Be sure to stir occasionally.
Make your edibles
If you want to make your own cannabis edibles, there are a few things you need to know first. The most important thing is to know how to calculate the THC dosage for each edible. You also need to be aware of the different methods of infusing cannabis into your food.
Choose your recipe
The most common types of recipes for cannabis edibles are for cannabutter and oil. Both of these ingredients can be used in a variety of recipes, so it’s up to you to choose the one that best fits your needs. If you want to make sweet treats, cannabutter is the way to go. It can be used in cakes, cookies, and other desserts. If you’re looking for something savory, like pot brownies or macaroni and cheese, cannabis oil is the ingredient you need.
##Cannabis Butter
##Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup water

##Instructions:
1. Grind the cannabis buds or trim using a grinder. If you don’t have a grinder, you can chop the weed finely with a sharp knife.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
3. Add the water and cannabis and stir gently until combined.
4. Cover the pan and simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
5. Line a strainer with cheesecloth and strain the mixture into a clean bowl or jar. Be sure to squeeze all of the butter from the cheesecloth before discarding it.
6. Allow the cannabutter to cool completely before using it in your recipes.

Cannabis-infused edibles are now widely available in states with legal cannabis, but they can also be easily made at home. If you want to make your own edibles, start by mixing together some cannabutter or canna-oil. Then, use this mixture to replace the butter or oil in your favorite recipe. Keep in mind that cannabis edibles can take up to 2 hours to take effect, so start with a small amount and increase as needed.
If you want to avoid the psychoactive effects of THC, look for recipes that use CBD oil or isolate. CBD edibles will not get you high, but they can still provide relief from pain, anxiety, and other symptoms. You can also find CBD products at most dispensaries and online retailers.
