Before we go any further, let’s talk about edibles in general.
What are Cannabis Edibles?
Edibles are foods or drinks that contain THC (cannabis’ mind-altering ingredient) or CBD – the part that doesn’t make you high.
This means that you need to be careful when making and consuming cannabis edibles as there is the possibility of consuming too much THC.
The marijuana mantra goes like this: dose low and slow.
The most common and well-known type of cannabis edibles consists of baked goods and candies. Both these items can be prepared in a number of ways and they can both be enjoyed after eating them.
Easy Cannabis Recipes for the Christmas Season:
Cannabis Oil
Versatile and perfect for hundreds of dishes and recipes, Cannabis Oil is a magical little ingredient.
The effectiveness of cannabis oil when it comes to its key psychoactive ingredient, THC, can be described as relatively high.
In fact, a single dose of 1 to 2 milligrams of THC is enough to produce a noticeable effect that can last up to 6 hours.

Notes
Tip! If the hard candies are cloudy or foamy looking: once the mixture is taken off the heat, let it sit for 30 second untill all foam has gone down, before pouring into molds.
Wine is one of the most popular drinks in the world.
It can be consumed in a variety of ways, even without the cannabis edibles part but pot brownies (below) go perfectly with a nice glass of red!
Some people prefer drinking wine when they smoke marijuana, especially if they’re familiar with cross-fading – so if you’re just starting out be mindful of mixing booze with bud.
