Medical Marijuana: 5 Recipes for Potent Weed Edibles

If you’re looking for tasty recipes you can make at home, then you’re in luck because today we’re exploring Medical Marijuana: 5 Recipes for Potent Weed Edibles.

The biggest hurdle to overcome when just starting out, or expanding your cannabis culinary skills is properly decarbing your weed.

Decarbing your cannabis is arguably the single most important step.

Skipping this could result in a horrible experience, and for beginners this can be horrible.

The Science Behind Decarboxylation

Decarboxylation is the conversion of THCa into THC or CBDa into CBD.

Without decarbing your weed, THCa and CBDa will not stick to the endocannabinoid receptor sites in your body.

This will result in inhibiting the effects of cannabis that we’re after.

Skip it or forget it and you’ll have a weak product that lacks the active cannabinoids.

How To Decarboxylate Cannabis

Here are some wonderful ways to dose your medical marijuana into edibles.
