5 reasons to make weed-infused food at home

Wanna make cannabis ice cream? Sip on homemade infused mocktails, fruit juice, and tea. How about spreading a layer of infused strawberry jam on a thick slice of weed-infused bread? 

Sounds like a fantasy land but I promise you, it’s real and 100% possible. From butter, coconut oil, MCT oil, avocado oil, honey, sesame oil, milk, cream, and alcohol tinctures, there’s a myriad of options that cannabis can infuse into to create delicious homemade edibles. I’ll break down the most popular options, the best time and temps to infuse at, and what to consider as you explore beyond cannabutter. 

Five Reasons to Make Cannabis-Infused Food At-Home

Why would you want all this food infused, you wonder? Here’s why: 

1. Healthier for your lungs. Eating or drinking your weed, rather than smoking is less harsh on your respiratory system. 

2. More potent. THC that passes through the liver can feel 3x more potent than smoking. 

3. Longer-lasting high. The effects from an edible can last 3-6 hours, whereas the effects from smoking start to wear off after 60-90 minutes. 

4. More cost-effective. Because you’re using significantly less cannabis flower for a more potent and longer-lasting high. You’ll smoke more flower than you’d use to make edibles. 

5. Know what you’re eating. No chemicals, artificial sugars or preservatives. You’re cooking it, in control of the dose, and what cannabis goes into your body.
