Instructions

 

• Decarb the Cannabis: This is a fundamental step as it allows the cannabis to activate its cannabinoids and, therefore, its famous effects. Simply preheat the oven to 239ºF (115°C), place the previously shredded marijuana in a baking tray, and bake it for at least 40-60 minutes.
  Marijuana flowers of your choice
• Prepare a Cannabis-infused Mixture: Once the cannabis is decarboxylated, mix it in a saucepan with melted butter for at least 20-30 minutes. Finally, strain the contents to separate the butter from the cannabis. At this point, you’ll have a mixture of melted butter with a strong marijuana aroma but no cannabis residues.
  Butter or margarine

Effects and Recommendations

Cannabis candies are a great option if you enjoy the effects of marijuana and the sweet taste of candies, making them perfect for having a different Halloween with friends. In any case, it’s always a good idea to consider these candies like any other cannabis edible. Therefore, it’s advisable to be mindful of the dosage to avoid an unpleasant experience.

For instance, it’s recommended to eat one candy and wait for 30-40 minutes before trying another. This is because the effects of ingested marijuana are slower to manifest compared to smoking, so it’s best to allow some time between candies to avoid overindulging.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that one of the common effects of marijuana, apart from laughter and extreme relaxation, is an increased appetite. The best way to experience this is undoubtedly in a relaxed environment with a comfortable couch and plenty of sweet and savory snacks for when hunger strikes.

Lastly, it’s important to store these candies in an airtight container, away from light and moisture, and especially out of reach of children or pets. Candies are the main attraction on Halloween, so it’s best to keep the traditional sweets separate from our sweet cannabis creations to avoid any confusion.
