In honor of the marijuana celebration 4/20, lifestyle and food blog She Know has put together a recipe for cannabis butter that can be used in dessert baking as well as making homemade edibles. The butter is made from wholesome and healthy ingredients providing a natural way to ingest the substance.
The cannabis butter is designed to be used as both a spread and cooking agent, as a way to infuse food with THC. The butter is made using marijuana that has been ground or broken up by hand that is then cooked in a slow cooker with coconut oil. Over time the marijuana releases its THC properties into the oil leaving behind a yellow tinged butter that can be used in a variety of recipes.
