    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    Salt is any food's best friend. With this new infusion, you can now pair all of your favorite foods with a microdose of cannabis.

    This simple, easy, and quick recipe will leave you with a shelf-stable salt creation that will last for weeks, if not longer.

    I'm always trying to make it simpler to consume cannabis for my Well With Cannabis Community.

    Since cannabis sugar is so popular, I thought cannabis salt would be, too (especially for those who want sugar-free edibles).

    In this guide, I will teach you how to make cannabis salt at home in just a few simple steps, including helpful FAQs and tips and tricks along the way.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Cannabis Tincture: Before getting started, prepare a cannabis tincture. Green dragon and Golden dragon tinctures are very popular. Please note, you must use an alcohol-based tincture for this recipe, oil will not work.
    • Salt: Feel free to use any salt of choice (table salt, sea salt, Himalayan salt, etc.)

    Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.

    Storage Instructions

    Once your cannabis salt is made, you want to ensure you keep it as dry as possible. An airtight mason jar or even a ziplock bag will work as long as it's sealed properly.

    Notes and Expert Tips

    • Consider this recipe for microdosing only. It would be too hard to consume a large portion of salt in one sitting.
    • Keep cannabis salt as dry as possible during storage.
    • Keep out of reach of children and young adults.
    • Feel free to label mason jar as necessary!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Cannabis salt can be brand new to even the most seasoned cannabis consumer, so here are some of the most common FAQs I get asked about Cannabis salt from my Well With Cannabis Community.

    What kinds of salt can I use?

    Any kind that you'd like! Sea salt, pink Himalayan salt, or Kosher salt are just a few ideas.

    Can I substitute the tincture for a different one?

    Of course! Feel free to check out any of my other tinctures for additional ideas including the Green Dragon, Golden Dragon, THCA tincture, and CBDA tincture.

    What are some of your favorite foods to put this salt on?

    I love putting this on snacks like popcorn and chips. But, I also put it on other snack items like salsa or guacamole. And, of course, I love sprinkling a little bit on top of my dark chocolate and caramel.

    Can I use this as a way to microdose cannabis?

    Yes, microdosing THC is really the only outcome of this recipe (one can only eat so much salt at once!). This option may be a good way to introduce cannabis in small amounts throughout the day.

    Want To Make This Easier? Use A Machine!

    If the process of decarbing and infusing feels like too much work, an all-in-one countertop device may be a perfect all-in-one solution.

    My personal favorites? The LEVO and Ardent FX, but you can review the most popular infusion machines here.

    Equipment

    • Glass Baking Dish
    • Spatula
    • Cheesecloth
    • Pint Mason Jars

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 cup salt
    • ½ cup cannabis alcohol tincture

    Instructions

    • Add the salt to a glass baking dish. Pour the tincture over the salt.
    • Use a spatula to stir the salt and tincture together, ensuring all of the salt is coated. The mixture will resemble wet sand.
    • Cover the baking dish with a breathable fabric and place in a safe area to air drying. Allow the mixture to dry for 48-72 hours, stirring every few hours.
    • You will know when your salt is ready when all of the alcohol has evaporated off and the mixture again resembles dry salt.
    • Place the infused salt in an air-tight jar and store it in a cool, dry place.

    Notes

    • You can not make cannabis-infused salt without the alcohol tincture  You can not make cannabis salt with butter, oil, or any other type of fat.
    • You absolutely do not want to put a solid top or a lid on the pan while the sugar is drying.
    • If you do not stir the salt enough, it will harden together on itself and create a hard chunk. If this happens, you can use the food processor or a ziplock bag and a rolling pin to break it back up into granules again.
    • If stored properly, the cannabis salt should last at least 3 months, if not longer.

      What about someone who can’t have alcohol due to cirrhosis? Tincture is the only way to infuse salt?

      Thank you

      Hey Mo - it's important to remember that at the end of the salt making process, there is zero alcohol leftover 🙂 I hope this helps!

      Does this recipe work for either coarse i.e. Kosher salt or fine Pink Himalayan salt?

    4. Emily Kyle

      December 02, 2022 at 8:33 am

      Hello Roberta, yes, either option should work the same 😀 Let us know how it turns out for you!

      Can you use the oven to evaporate the alcohol as with cannabis sugar?

      Hello Walter! Yes, absolutely, just use the same precautions you would with sugar 😀
