Recipes

Cooking with cannabis is a fat substitution — you swap butter for cannabutter and the rest is ordinary cooking. So every recipe here stores the fat it needs and the dose it targets, and works out the split once it knows how strong your oil is.

Set your infusion strength

Tell the site how strong your butter or oil is and every recipe rewrites its ingredient amounts to match.

Honey glazed spiced nuts

Roasted first, glazed with infused honey after they cool. Infused honey is less efficient than fat, so this leans on the glaze going on cold rather than being baked.

Movie night popcorn

Popped in plain oil, dressed in infused oil afterward. Popping temperatures are far too hot for an infusion, which is why almost every recipe that pops in cannabutter wastes most of it.

Whipped feta dip

Salty, thick and ready in five minutes. The oil goes in last and gets whipped right through, which is what keeps the dose even across a shared bowl.
