The Cannabis plant is so diverse in many ways from its medical benefits, to it’s therapeutic and so on. Likewise, in how we consume the plant we can smoke it or in some cases, eat it by infusing it in our food and drink.
As Cannabis becomes more socially acceptable and as laws loosen all over the world, a new range of cannabis-infused products are hitting the shelves.
In this post, we will look at some of the best recipes we’ve found from our travels across the web. We’ve not tried them, so don’t blame us if you don’t like them, but we have chosen reputable websites to send you to, so things should be ok for you. If you do decide to try any or have any recipes of your own, be sure to let us know in the comments or on any of The Vault’s Social Media Channels!
1 – Hemp Seed Porridge via Sensi Seeds
There are a few reasons we like this recipe recommendation. One is that it’s brought to you from our good friends at Sensi Seeds (add link to Sensi Seed selection on Vault), and two, is that its porridge and that appeals to our Scottish routes. You can check the quick and easy method on the Sensi Seeds website (don’t forget the milk and the flaxseeds).
2 – The Fluffiest Weed Omelette In The World via Cannabis Wiki
Sticking on the breakfast theme for now, we look at this lovely omelette via Cannabis Wiki. I don’t know about you, but we love omelettes but always find them hard to toss, so to speak! We’ll let the recipe tell you the details, but for this to come to fruition, you will need 8 eggs, 1 pack of bacon, 1 red pepper, 1 cooking onion, grated cheese + the magic ingredient; Cannabutter! For the full whack, visit the Cannabis Wiki page.
3 – How To Make Coffee With Cannabis via Pev Grow
No breakfast is complete without coffee, it’s what gets most of the human race up and ready to go for the day. That said, it may seem counter-intuitive to mix it up with Cannabis, but you have to try it before you knock it. In this case, you might want to change up your morning cup of coffee and have it in the late afternoon or evening! For the inside track on how to go about making it head to the Pev website.
4 – Luscious Hummus from Our Community Harvest
This is actually a little bit of a bonus link because it leads us to not one but three recipes, but we will focus on this little lunchtime snack which is hummus. Over the years hummus has become very popular and is now available as a snack food in a lot of the main supermarkets. In this recipe, you’re going to need some special ingredients such as chickpeas (obviously), tahini paste and minced garlic. To get the full whack, visit the Our Community Harvest page and be sure to check out the Cannabis recipe’s for Soy Marinated Chicken Thighs with Lemon Zest & Key Lime High Pie!
5 – Cannabis-Infused Honey via Wake and Bake Website
Now, as the author states, this is going to be a messy one. It’s also going to require an amount of waiting around until things are ready, but it’s going to be worth it. You can check out the recipe from The Wake + Bake website! Write a review and leave it on their site or on The Vault Social Media pages! Just make sure you’ve wiped your hands clean before you hit the keys!
- Cannabis Infused Mac and Cheese by The Daily Meal
So for us, this sounds like the tastiest recipe so far. I mean who doesn’t love Mac n Cheese. Ok, some of you might not for various reasons, but for those who do, you need to read this! Before clicking through for the recipe, we should take this piece of advice on board;
‘’Cannabis binds nicely with food that’s high in fat, but it’s important for everyone to pace themselves when consuming edibles. Be aware that cannabis strains vary in THC and CBD levels depending on where they’re grown and purchased, so be sure to know your product well before using and be mindful of your metabolism. Always wait 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating to see if you feel anything. Enjoy responsibly.’’
Sensible advice to adhere to when it comes to edibles in any way shape or form. Now, click here to read how to put it together via The Daily Meal website.

8 – Cannabutter via Leafly
To make any of the above come to fruition, you’re going to need some Cannabutter. In this post from Leafly you’ll learn how to go about making it. Here is an excerpt to get you started:
- Decarb the cannabis. Preheat your oven to 245ºF. Place cannabis buds on a non-stick, oven-safe tray. Cover the tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Insert the tray into the oven and set a timer for 30-40 minutes. Older, drier cannabis may require less time. (Tip: you can also set your oven to 300ºF and heat for 10 to 18 minutes, although low-and-slow is the recommended approach when decarbing to better preserve the cannabinoids.) Every 10 minutes, gently mix the buds with a light shake of the tray to expose the surface area of the buds equally.
- Grind the decarboxylated cannabis coarsely with a hand grinder.
- Melt the butter. Add 1 cup of water and 1 cup of butter into a stock pot or saucepan. Simmer on low and let the butter melt. Adding water helps to regulate the temperature and prevents the butter from scorching.
- Add the cannabis. As the butter begins to melt, add in your coarsely ground cannabis product.
- Maintain low heat (ideally above 160ºF but never exceeding 200ºF) and let the mixture simmer for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. The mixture should never come to a full boil.
- Strain the cannabutter. Set a funnel on top of a jar and line it with cheesecloth. Once the butter has cooled off, pour it over the cheesecloth funnel and allow it to strain freely. (Tip: Squeezing the cheesecloth may push more bad-tasting plant material through).
- Refrigerate the jar of butter. If excess water forms at the bottom of the jar, you can remove the solid butter with a knife and drain the water out. (The butter will need to refrigerate for about an hour before removing the water.)
- Dose carefully. Refer to dosing information below before adding your butter to any snacks, dishes, or desserts.
