Merry Musts

Before you start cooking with cannabis, you will need to prepare a source of it, such as cannabutter, canna-flour, or kief. Make sure that whatever form you use has been decarboxylated beforehand.

If you’re inexperienced in terms of dosing, it is better to be safe than sorry; therefore, use a smaller amount of the infused ingredient.

After you bake and decorate your cannabis edibles, be sure to store them in an airtight container. This will prevent moisture or any other substance from ruining the freshness of your product. As with anything that is infused with cannabis, make sure to keep it out of reach of children.
