Crafting Cannabis-Infused BBQ: Smoke, Sizzle, and Serenity

By John “Magic” Greenleaf

Welcome, connoisseurs of cannabis and culinary delight! Today, I’ll guide you through the smokey world of cannabis-infused barbecue. This sunlit journey will marry the robust flavors of traditional BBQ with the soothing touch of cannabis—made right in your backyard.

Why Infuse BBQ with Cannabis?

Barbecue is a celebration of flavors, a slow dance of heat, meat, and smoke. Introducing cannabis into this flavorful medley not only enriches the taste but also adds a layer of relaxation and joy to the experience. Whether you’re unwinding after a long day or hosting a weekend get-together, cannabis-infused BBQ will elevate your gastronomic adventures.

Steps to Craft Your Cannabis-Infused BBQ

1. Choosing Your Cannabis

Select a strain that complements your meal. A sativa like my “S**t” can bring citrusy brightness to the mix, ideal for poultry or fish, while an indica such as Magic Kush might enhance the richness of beef or pork.

2. Creating Cannabis-Infused Marinades

  • Decarboxylation: Preheat your oven and expose the cannabis to low heat to activate its cannabinoids. This is the secret to infusing potency and flavor.
  • Infusion: Use an oil or butter, such as olive or coconut, to absorb the cannabinoids. Mix these with your favorite barbeque herbs and spices to create a flavored marinade.

3. Marinating and Cooking

Coat your meat liberally with the infused mixture and allow it to marinate for several hours, or overnight. Cook the meat using your preferred BBQ method—smoking, grilling, or slow-cooking—ensuring the infusion bakes into every delicious bite.

FAQs on Cannabis-Infused BBQ

How do I control the potency?

Start with a small amount of cannabis oil, taste, and adjust in future recipes. Remember, ingesting cannabis can have delayed effects, so enjoy responsibly.

Can I use pre-made BBQ sauces?

Absolutely! Simply mix a pre-made sauce with your infused oil. This is a quick and effective way to incorporate cannabis, ideal for those short on time.

Conclusion

With cannabis-infused BBQ, you’re not just cooking a meal; you’re cultivating an experience—one that holds the essence of serenity and gourmet taste in every bite. As you dive into this smoky adventure, remember: “The altitude makes us tougher—and so does our weed.”
