Start With The Right Option
Making your favorite low-carb recipes infused with cannabis can be easy and fun when you have the right staple recipes.
Below I will review all the ways you can infuse the healthy recipes you already know and love.
If you're overwhelmed by any of the options below, check out my terms and abbreviations guide to help you get started.
Just Decarbed Cannabis
Using decarbed cannabis in a recipe is the easiest way to introduce cannabis into a recipe and a perfect option if you're on a low-calorie diet.
Remember that you want to decarb the product in an oven or Instant pot before getting started to reap the activated benefits.
- Cannabis flower buds - THC, CBG, or CBD buds
- Cannabis fan leaves
- Cannabis trim or sugar leaves
- Cannabis kief
If you're new to this method, check out my guide for using just ground, decarbed cannabis in a recipe.
Oil Infusions
Oil infusions are the perfect way to enjoy sugar-free cannabis recipes and are even better if you're following a high-fat or Keto diet.
Infusions are also great for us, as the fat helps the cannabinoids bind and become more bioavailable to use in the body.
You can make many oil infusions using different carrier oils, different types of flowers, different ratios, and more.
You can make these infusions on the stovetop, in a crockpot, Instant pot, or use a machine to do it for you.
Some of the most carrier oil infusions include:
And some of the most popular cannabinoid infusions are:
Alcohol-Based Tinctures
Tinctures are very popular because they are easy, potent, and versatile.
Just know that the high-proof alcohol used to make a tincture will burn your mouth when consumed.
To avoid this, simply evaporate the alcohol, partially or all the way, to make FECO.
Popular tincture options include:
- Green Dragon Tincture
- Golden Dragon Tincture
- THCA Tincture (non-intoxicating)
- CBDA Tincture
- Cannabis Root Tincture
Other Options
And of course, there are a few other options you can check out.
Notes & Expert Tips
- If you've never consumed THC before, just know that you want to be careful not to overconsume. Overconsumption may lead to the dreaded munchies experience. Grab my dosing guide if you're not sure where to start.
- Certain edibles have a reputation for causing diarrhea, but this is typically due to the added ingredients like MCT oil or lecithin.
- Remember, edibles may affect you differently on a full vs. empty stomach and the length of time they stay in your system depends on a variety of factors
- Remember that edibles don't work for everybody and that you can build a tolerance over time. If this happens to you, you can try these alternative ways to use cannabis
