Yo, Sid here. Just whipped up a fresh batch of cannabis-infused olive oil and had to share—it is the absolute perfect savory base for drizzling over warm focaccia, tossing with pasta, or mixing into a killer salad dressing.
**Ingredients:**
* 7 to 10 grams of your favorite flower (coarsely ground)
* 1 cup of high-quality extra virgin olive oil (THC is fat-soluble, so we need a good carrier fat like this to actually extract the good stuff)
* Cheesecloth for straining
**Steps:**
1. **Decarb first:** Don't skip this! Spread your ground flower on a lined baking sheet and bake at 240°F (115°C) for 30–40 minutes. This converts the non-psychoactive THCA into active THC.
2. **Simmer:** Combine your decarbed flower and olive oil in a saucepan or double boiler. Simmer on low heat (keep it between 160–200°F / 70–95°C) for 2 to 4 hours. Stir it occasionally.
3. **Strain:** Let it cool a bit, then strain the oil through a cheesecloth into a clean glass jar. Don't squeeze the cloth too hard or you'll get excess chlorophyll and plant taste.
**Quick heads up on dosing:** Edibles are no joke and can take 30 to 90 minutes (sometimes longer) to kick in because your liver has to process them. Start low—about 5–10mg of THC is a solid starting serving if you're new to this. Wait it out before grabbing seconds, label your jar clearly, and keep it far away from kids and pets! — Internet of Pot
