THC-infused foods: Cannabis butter, oil, iced tea, sweets & co.
THC-infused food means that the dishes have been infused with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis. THC is usually integrated into food using special methods (including cannabis edibles) in order to achieve a controlled and consistent effect.
How is THC processed in food?
THC is fat-soluble and is often combined with butter, oil or other fats to incorporate it into food. Typical methods are
- Cannabis butter (cannabutter): Butter that has been enriched with THC
- Cannabis oil: THC-containing oil for dressings, marinades or baked goods
- Tinctures and extracts: concentrates that are added directly to dishes or drinks
This is what cannabis butter looks like when you make it yourself.
Did you know, knowledge to show off! Cannabis must be heated to 110-120°C to become psychoactive.
THCA is onlyconverted to THC when it is heated.
Typical THC-infused foods
- Baked goods (brownies, cookies, muffins)
- Drinks (tea, iced tea, smoothies)
- Hearty dishes (sauces, soups, pasta)
- Sweets(jelly babies, chocolate)
Consuming such food leads to a stronger and longer-lasting effect than smoking cannabis, as the body first processes the THC through digestion. The effect is often delayed, but lasts longer.
