COOKBOOK 2022
01 WELCOME
The world of cannabis edibles is
full of stories of being too high,
distinctively excessive raw herbal
flavors and overly complex recipes
requiring equipment that nobody
has at home. This cookbook
simplifies everything.

Whether you prefer a cold

refreshing drink on a hot day,
or a warm cup on a winter day,
something sweet after a heavy
meal, or something filling like a
savory main dish, there’s something
here for you.

We’ve selected 32 of our favorite

recipes that are suitable for medical
cannabis users or those who may
simply want to take a break from a
joint or a bong. Most of the recipes
can be easily substituted for vegan
or gluten-free options.

We hope you enjoy the recipes and

remember to start low, and go slow!

COOKBOOK 2022
Before you get started on edibles
Everyone reacts differently to compounds in the cannabis plant. Most
of marijuana’s main effects, such as the feeling of being stoned, getting
the munchies, impaired short-term memory and motor control, are
caused by THC binding with endocannabinoid receptors in our brain
and central nervous system.

THC is also known to have a biphasic effect. At low doses, it is

generally relaxing, while at higher doses it can increase anxiety. That
said, it’s not unusual to develop some kind of tolerance over time.
Those with high tolerance tend to have fewer unwanted side effects.

Here are some general rules to follow with edibles:

1. Choose a safe and comfortable environment, ideally at home. Familiar
surroundings will minimize the likelihood of feeling anxious.
2. If it’s your first time, don’t be alone. Have an understanding loved one or
friend nearby who can come to your assistance if the psychotropic effect
feels uncomfortable.
3. New users should begin with very low doses of THC, sometimes even at
just 1mg of THC. Start low and go slow, increasing by no more than 2.5mg
THC per dose, every few days.
4. If possible, purchase from a legal dispensary to ensure you have clean,
tested flower to start with. This will also help you estimate the strength of
your homemade edibles.
5. If you have a history of severe anxiety or depression, exercise caution. If
you have a history of psychotic episodes, it’s generally recommended not to
use marijuana at all.
6. Note that edibles hit very differently than smoking. Even seasoned
cannabis users can feel intense highs when taking edibles. Start with less
and take more if needed.
7. Wait at least two hours before consuming more.

02 THE BASICS

Decarboxylation: How to
activate cannabis/THC

Edibles are a great way to get medicated

without the harmful effects of smoking.
It is also more discreet, lasts longer than
smoking, and a little bud goes a long way.

Pretty much all recipes using cannabis

involve a chemical process called
“decarboxylation.” This is a simple but
essential chemical change in your flowers
to activate their psychoactive effects.
Raw (or dried) cannabis buds contain
THCA, which has great anti-inflammatory
and neuroprotective qualities but isn’t
psychoactive. In order to achieve an
intoxicating effect, THCA must be
converted (decarbed) into THC.

To decarb cannabis to use with edibles,

most people use an oven to slowly heat
their cannabis to the required temperature.

Note: This process converts the

cannabinoids, but there is also heating and
loss of some of the herbs essential oils
(terpenes). For this reason, the process of
decarbing can produce a very strong scent
and it is something to consider if you are
trying to be discreet.

COOKBOOK 2022
How to decarboxylate cannabis for edibles
Before decarboxylation
Raw cannabis isn’t intoxicating
THC 1% THCA 16%

(Illustrative of cannabis labeled 15% THC)

Decarboxylate in an oven
1. Break up cannabis flower
2. Put on baking sheet
3. Bake at 220-245°F
(105-120°C) for 30-40 minutes
(12-30% THC loss. Varies with temperature.)

After decarboxylation
Decarbed cannabis is intoxicating
THC 15% THCA 0%

CBGA THCA THC 11-OH-THC THC-COOH THC-COOH-glucuronide

* The THC content listed on cannabis flower packaging is a prediction of how much will be created by decarboxylation.
The standard formula is (THC + (THCA x 0.877)).

COOKBOOK 2022
To do this, here’s what you need to know:
STEP 1
First, preheat your oven. Temperatures for this can vary depending on how long
you’ll leave your cannabis in the oven and what cannabinoid you are hoping to
decarboxylate. For converting THCA into THC, a standard temperature is preheating
your oven to 220-245°F (105-120°C).
STEP 2
Next, break up your cannabis into small pieces and place it on a baking sheet. When
your oven is fully preheated, put the tray of cannabis in the oven and let it bake for
30-40 minutes.
STEP 3
CBD decarboxylates at a higher temperature, so if you are working with high-CBDA
cannabis (aka hemp flower), set your oven to 250°F or 120°C and leave it in for 30-45
minutes. The cannabis should only be dried, not burnt, so keep an eye during the
process as cannabis that’s dryer to begin with is likely to dry out faster.
STEP 4
Decarboxylated bud can be used in a variety of base recipes, like butter, oil, or sugar,
which are then added as the infused-component of the recipes in this cookbook.
STEP 5
While this cookbook focuses on using cannabis flower, substituting flower for
extracts is certainly possible for nearly all the recipes. You’ll want to pay extra
attention to dosing as concentrates are aptly named and a little can go a long way.

Dosing
Edibles produce a different effect to smoking, even for seasoned
cannabis users. This is because edibles need to first be digested by
the stomach and intestines, then sent through the liver where some
cannabinoids are transformed. Only once an edible goes through this
process can it enter the blood and brain. This process can take 1-4
hours, depending on your metabolism and what else you’ve eaten.

With edibles, it is always wise to start low and go slow. Try a smaller
batch and half the quantity first and see how you feel before increasing
the dosage. There is no standardized dosing with THC, and different
people react differently to the same strength of cannabinoids. Here’s a
general guide of how much to dose when it comes to edibles:

COOKBOOK 2022
 Single doses of THC
2.5 mg 5 mg 10 mg
Beginner dose, some Doses for intermediate users, Doses for seasoned users, only
won't feel it most will feel the effects use if smaller doses don't work

Total daily THC intake

15 mg
25 mg
30 mg

1. Doses above 30mg per day are likely to increase adverse effects without improving efficacy.
2. Cannabis treatments for cancerous tumours often call more than 30mg per day.

2.5 mg of THC is generally regarded as a beginner’s dose. Most seasoned users will not feel
any effects at this dose.

5 mg of THC is regarded as an intermediate dose. Most users will feel effects at this dose.

10 mg of THC is considered a high dose. This is recommended only for those who do not
feel any effects at smaller doses.

A day’s total THC dose of over 30mg is likely to increase adverse effects without increasing
efficacy, unless recommended by a doctor or for cancer treatments.

If you are buying from a legal source, it is usually easy to calculate the
net amount of THC (mg) in each serving. However, if you are using a
product without standardized testing, a ballpark estimate is often that
3.5 grams of decarboxylated cannabis flower with 20% THC added to 8
oz of oil will yield an oil with a potency of approximately 2.5 mg/ml. But
the potency of these edibles will vary highly when made at home and
depend on numerous factors including the starting cannabinoid and
terpene profile of your weed.

As with most medications, edibles should be avoided if you’re pregnant

or breastfeeding, and care should be taken if you need to operate a
vehicle in the next 4-12 hours or are taking other medications.

There is nothing inherently caloric or unhealthy about eating cannabis,

but tons of recipes call for high levels of sugar and butter that you
might rather avoid. Unfortunately, cannabis is not soluble in sugar
replacements, so use discretion to divide recipes accordingly if you’re
watching your calories.

03 BASE RECIPES

Base recipes

Cannabinoids like THC and CBD

found in edibles are soluble,
fat and alcohol, and can also
be added to sugars and syrups
to serve as carriers. All recipes
include a primary ingredient of
cannabis extracts made of one
of these three.

Essentially, you can eat

decarboxylated cannabis
straight away as well, or simply
sprinkle on virtually any food
or beverage. However, it would
taste earthy and wouldn’t look as
appetizing. Making these base
ingredients reduces the pungent
taste of cannabis, and minimizes
the texture of ground herb in
your recipes.

 Cannabis honey aka cannahoney
You may get more flies with honey, but if you infuse that honey
with cannabis you can also throw an ear-to-ear grin, a strong
body high, and a case of the giggles into the mix.

It’s just like what it sounds like — honey that has been infused
with cannabis. And no, making it doesn’t require a background
in chemistry or any fancy lab equipment.

Cannabis milk aka Cannamilk
Cannabis milk can be used for a vast array of creamy
edibles, from infused weed ice cream to creamy, stoney
mac and cheese to cannabis creamer that goes great
in coffee and will make you more popular than ever
at the office. And maybe the best part? Cannabis milk
can pack a heavy punch and have you sinking into your
couch not looking to move your dairy-ère until the cows
come home — sorry not sorry.

YIELD DIFFICULTY
2-4 cups of cannabis milk Medium

PREP TIME COOK TIME

decarboxylate cannabis)

INGREDIENTS
• 7 grams of ground decarboxylated cannabis
• 2-4 cups whole milk (use less if you want a more
concentrated batch)
• Cheesecloth

INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
In a saucepan, combine the milk and the cannabis and bring to a simmer over low heat for 45 minutes,
stirring frequently. Be sure the milk doesn't come to a boil as it can scorch. The milk will thicken slightly
as it simmers, and will turn a yellow-green hue.  
STEP 2
Remove the milk from the heat and strain through cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer into the container of
your choosing.

Chef’s tip
You don’t technically need to stick with cow’s milk. You can easily infuse almond milk, goat’s milk,
sheep’s milk, soy milk, rice milk, oat milk — pretty much any milk with at least some fat in it. The
higher % fat the milk, the better it will extract the cannabinoids from the cannabis flower.

COOKBOOK 2022
Cannabis sugar
Every dinner, late afternoon lunch, or relaxing evening
at home could use a bit of sweetener. Cannabis sugar
allows edibles chefs to sweeten any dish with a dash
of THC — and sugar — without needing to add an
infused fat like cannabutter or cannabis oil.

Cannabis-infused desserts and treats

When it comes to edibles, “pot brownies” are what most

people first think of, and for good reason - they are delicious.
The classics always go down well, but if you’re looking for
something a bit different there’s a whole world of cannabis-
infused desserts and sweet treats you can try.

From chocolates and rich desserts to colorful candies and

even ice cream, you can give any of your favorite treats a
little extra kick. These recipes are really simple and will
keep you coming back for more. Just remember not to
overindulge, and to keep out of reach of children.
