THC is psychoactive and produces the “high,” while CBD is non-psychoactive and primarily offers calming effects. Both can be infused into recipes, but the effects will vary depending on which one you choose.

Potency depends on the cannabis strain, the amount used, and the cooking process. Start with a small dose, and adjust based on your desired effect.

Decarboxylation is the process of heating cannabis to activate THC/CBD. Without it, you won’t get the full potency, so always decarboxylate before cooking or infusing oils and butter.

Yes, CBD oil can replace THC in recipes, but the effects will be different. CBD will provide relaxation without the psychoactive high, making it a good option for those seeking a mellow, non-intoxicating experience.

Edibles can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in, depending on metabolism, dosage, and individual tolerance. Start with a small portion, wait at least an hour, and adjust as needed.

Raw cannabis doesn’t produce strong effects since THC/CBD is inactive in raw form. Infusing cannabis into oil or butter after decarboxylation maximizes potency and ensures even distribution in recipes.

Yes! Foods high in fat, like avocado or nuts, can increase the absorption of THC/CBD in the body. Certain spices, like black pepper, can also enhance or balance the experience.

Coconut oil and butter are popular options because they have high fat content, which binds well with THC/CBD. Olive oil also works well and is ideal for savory recipes.
