How to Choose the Best Weed to Cook With

When cooking with cannabis, the choice of strain is critical. Factors to consider include:

2. Flavor Profiles:

   • Citrus and fruity strains such as Lemon Cherry Gelato add zest to desserts.
   • Earthy strains like OG Kush enhance savory dishes.

Tips for Cooking with Cannabis

1. Decarboxylation:
   Before using cannabis in recipes, decarboxylate it by heating it at a low temperature (around 240°F) for 30–40 minutes. This activates THC and CBD.

2. Infusion:
   Cannabis is fat-soluble, so it works best when infused into butter, oils, or other fats.

3. Start Small:
   Always start with a small dose and increase gradually to avoid overconsumption.

4. Storage:
   Store cannabis-infused products in airtight containers in a cool, dark place to preserve potency and freshness.
