Cooking with CBD Flower and Hemp

Venturing into the joyous wide-open world of baked edibles and cannabis cooking is exciting and somewhat overwhelming. Two of the simplest ways to infuse your CBD flower into these tasty treats is through cannabis-infused cooking oil and butter.

We will first focus on cooking oil, then share our simple canna-butter recipe.
