As the cannabis enterprise continues to grow, infusions have become popular among connoisseurs, especially those who have advanced beyond traditional smoking and vaping methods.

Even body care brands are experimenting with infusing skin, hair, and makeup products with marijuana plants. 

The cannabis renaissance is in full force and happening across industries. In this guide, we’ll discuss the different ways to infuse THC into your food, drinks, and even body care products. Ready to elevate your culinary and wellness experiences through cannabis infusion? Keep reading.

 

THC Infusion: A Popular Consumption Method

First things first, let’s talk about responsible consumption. It’s the only way to safely enjoy your experience. Always be mindful of tolerance and start with lower doses to gauge your reaction. When it comes to food and drink, consume in a controlled environment and practice moderation. If there are leftovers, label your containers and keep them securely stored away from children and pets.

As cannabis regulation continues to evolve across the United States and around the world, please be mindful of your local laws and regulations.

 

Making THC-Infused Foods

Where to Start

The secret to a tasty cannabis-infused treat (and one that creates the desired effect) is a fatty base like butter, olive oil, or coconut oil. When infused with THC, it acts as a versatile foundation for your edible endeavor. It’s a simple process, but make sure to cook your mixture on low heat to allow for decarboxylation, the process that activates the psychoactive compounds in your cannabis plant. 

Picking a Flavor and Recipe

The flavor possibilities are boundless when it comes to your THC recipe. Choose your favorite flower and preferred strain to develop the taste you crave, whether savory or sweet. Try Platinum Candy Pineapple for a fruity flavor, Cake Bomb for a spicy bite, or Peanut Butter Breath for a nutty snack. Play with combinations, and let us know what you spin up. 

 

Making THC-Infused Drinks

Where to Start

What’s better than a refreshing beverage to quench your thirst? How about one that can also induce a buzz? Cannabis-infused mocktails, seltzers, and even coffees have hit the shelves, offering a more social and accessible way to enjoy THC. 

So, how are these drinks typically made? Mixologists—both the well-trained and self-proclaimed—usually opt for tinctures or syrups made from cannabis flowers. The good news is, you can do it at home! Like with food, picking a preferred strain is a great way to create a drink tailored to your taste buds. Citrusy or lemony terpenes add a fresh but sharp flavor to any beverage, whereas diesel strains heighten the senses with a sour tang.

No matter which can or cup you pick up, there’s a suggested formula to follow when brewing a cannabis beverage. THC-infused drinks generally include five milligrams per serving. Users report they feel an impact within ten to fifteen minutes of the first sip, with full effects hitting around the hour mark. 

 

Making THC-Infused Topicals

Where to Start

The outer body needs nourishment, too. Thankfully, cannabis-infused topicals have made their way to the market, and canna-connoisseurs can’t get enough of them. They come in all forms, from lotions to balms to gels. When applied to the skin, users report they can potentially treat acute symptoms like mild pain and inflammation. 

Similar to food infused with THC, topicals feature a fatty base, like coconut oil or olive oil. Unlike edibles or beverages, though, you won’t get high from topicals since the cannabinoids can’t enter the bloodstream.
