Step 5: Type of cannabis to use for cooking and baking. 

Consider these factors when choosing what type of cannabis for making edibles. 

• Flavor – what will it taste like?

• Price – how much does it cost?

• Potency – how high will it get me?

• Availability – how accessible is it?

Low dose is defined as 5-10mg THC, and high dose is defined as 50-100mg and above. It’s recommended that beginners start low at 5mg THC and slowly increase to find their personal dose.
