Welcome to the delicious realm of cannabis-infused cuisine with John “Magic” Greenleaf’s Cannabis Community Cookbook. Dive into a world where culinary creativity meets cannabis cultivation, offering savory insights into integrating magic green into your favorite dishes. Let’s explore how to get started with crafting your own cannabis-infused meals.
Understanding Cannabis Infusions
Before diving into recipes, it’s essential to understand the basics of cannabis infusions. Cannabis-infused oil or butter is the cornerstone of most recipes, acting as a versatile ingredient that can be easily incorporated into both sweet and savory dishes. Here’s how you can create your own cannabis-infused base.
How to Make Cannabis-Infused Oil
- Decarb Your Cannabis: Preheat your oven to 245°F (120°C). Spread your cannabis evenly on a baking tray and bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
- Prepare Your Base: Combine the decarbed cannabis with your choice of oil (olive, coconut, or avocado) in a saucepan over low heat.
- Simmer and Infuse: Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent the cannabis from sticking to the bottom.
- Strain and Store: Use a cheesecloth to strain out the cannabis, leaving behind your infused oil. Store in a cool, dark place.
Recipe Ideas for Home Cooks
Infusing your meals with cannabis can be a journey in creativity and flavor. Here are some simple yet delightful recipes to try at home:
- Cannabis-Infused Guacamole: A classic dip with a twist, just add 1-2 tablespoons of your cannabis-infused oil to your traditional guacamole recipe.
- Herb Butter Grilled Steak: Use cannabis-infused butter to baste steaks on the grill for an earthy flavor enhancement.
- Decadent Chocolate Brownies: Replace regular butter with cannabis-infused butter in your brownie mix for a sweet treat with an extra kick.

- Start Low and Go Slow: Begin with a small dose of 5mg per serving and gradually increase as needed.
