Ask the Cannabis Chef Q&A

  • What is the best way to infuse butter with cannabis?

    To infuse butter effectively, decarboxylate your cannabis first by baking it at 245°F for about 30-40 minutes. Then, simmer the decarbed cannabis with butter on low heat for 2-3 hours, ensuring not to burn the mixture. Strain the butter through a cheesecloth to remove the plant material.

  • How can I calculate the THC content in my homemade edibles?

    To estimate THC content, start by knowing the percentage of THC in your cannabis. For example, if you use one gram of 20% THC cannabis, that’s 200mg of THC. Depending on the butter or oil amount and how well it's infused, you can estimate potency but always start with small amounts to gauge strength.

  • Can I use CBD instead of THC in my recipes?

    Absolutely! CBD can be used similarly to THC in recipes for those who prefer its non-psychoactive effects. The infusion process remains the same, but make sure you start with quality CBD flower or concentrate.

  • What are some quick safety tips for cooking with cannabis?

    Always start with a low dose and go slow, especially if you're new to cannabis edibles. Be aware of the delayed onset of effects, which can take up to two hours. Keep edibles away from children and pets.

  • Are there vegan options for cannabis-infused cooking?

    Yes, you can substitute butter with coconut oil or other plant-based fats that are solid at room temperature. These fats work well for infusion and are a great vegan alternative.
