Posted 6 years ago by Ian Shutts
You don’t have to limit yourself to pot brownies to get your daily dose of cannabis edible. And forget about buying cannabis edibles from your favorite specialty store as well. If you have canna butter, oil, and milk, then the different ways you can create scrumptious cannabis-infused snacks from them are endless.
Making your own cannabis edibles is fun and cheaper since the ingredients are already in your home. You can even use your favorite strains for your recipes.
For example, you can use an Indica-dominant strain in your recipe. Eating them before dinner can help relax and calm you down. It can also promote a deep and restful sleep.
You can also use Sativa-dominant strains. You can include your cannabis edibles in your breakfast recipes. This will make you feel more energized, uplifted, and focused. A cannabis edible made with Sativa-dominant strains can definitely give your day a boost.
You can even stock up on your homemade cannabis-infused snacks. This way, you will always have one ready when you want and need it. Just label it properly though and make sure that your children can’t get to them.

Things to Consider
These snacks are definitely not like your regular snacks. They contain potent THC that can induce a high and trigger adverse side effects as well.
While these may be yummy snacks you will want to take your fill of, you need to dose carefully, especially if you’re a newbie to cannabis edibles. Only eat small portions of these cannabis edibles.
Remember, too, that cannabis edibles take some time before you can feel any effects. If there’s no effect after two hours, you can slightly increase your dosage. Likewise, you need to cut back on your dosage if the effects become too uncomfortable.
However, once you get the right dosage that can control your symptoms, you will find that its therapeutic effects last longer compared to smoking or vaping cannabis.
