Despite years of prohibition, cannabis has obviously influenced our culture. More than 90 percent of Americans support weed legalization for medical and/or recreational usage, according to Pew Research Center. And as weed becomes more ubiquitous, you can expect to see the plant evolve from a dry, smoking herb to an agricultural Swiss Army knife. Food, beverages, skincare, personal lubricant, you name it—can all be infused with THC, cannabis’s psychoactive compound.
Cooking with cannabis can seem intimidating for weed newbies, but it’s actually one of the most personalized ways to start consuming the plant. Instead of buying edibles from the dispensary and worrying about how many milligrams of THC will be “too much,” a cannabis home cook has full control over how much weed goes into their edibles. Plus, the act of infusing edibles with active THC doesn’t require any skills you didn’t already learn in high school chemistry class. The only tools required are your usual baking and cooking supplies, a bag of weed, and a recipe. We can’t tell you what weed to buy (yet), but we can recommend the best cookbooks for cannabis-infused edibles. Stock up on these weed-themed cookbooks before 4/20 next week and plan your feast!
