Cannabis is a very versatile substance. It can be smoked as a joint, infused into essential oils, turned into concentrate and even cooked into some delicious and healthy recipes. The cannabis plant has a lot of advantages and health benefits and incorporating it into food is an excellent and even more robust way for the consumption of cannabis.
Marijuana is known for countering stress and anxiety, relieving chronic pain and inflammation, improving sleep and appetite and a lot more. In light of these amazing medical benefits of the cannabis plant, it has been legalized for medical use in Canada and the majority of the US. Some states have even legalized the recreational use of cannabis.
So, today, I am going to share some of my favorite recipes for cooking with cannabis. Of course, everybody is aware of the classic hash brownies. Still, today we are going to focus on some different and more special recipes that you probably didn’t know about. So, stick around to learn more.
