4 min

Want to get into the Christmas ‘spirit’? Then why not treat your friends to a festive three course cannabis banquet with these marijuana infused recipes!

Christmas is nearly upon us, and now is the time to bring your friends and families close. What better a way to achieve this than by inviting everyone around for a meal – a meal that will buzz and make enjoy each other’s company on this festive occasion. With this in mind, here are four cannabis infused festive recipes for the holidays.

Before we get into the recipes themselves, it is important to acknowledge that every course of this meal has cannabis in it, so you will need to dose each meal very lightly to ensure yourself and your guests can eat plenty without going overboard.

You want to aim for a nice comfortable buzz that help bring you all closer together, not a full green out session – remember, ingested cannabis tends to have stronger, and longer effects than when it is smoked. So try and aim for 0.1 gram or less of cannabis per portion with each of the below dishes. A full dose per person is around 0.3g-0.5g, so when using 0.1g each person can eat one portion of each dish below.

It is also important to make sure each and every one of your guests is fully aware that some food is infused with cannabis, and exactly what is and isn’t. Feeding cannabis to a friend without them knowing is a sure-fire way of making them a friend no longer - besides getting you potentially into trouble.

Dough:

  • 3 Cups of all-purpose flour

  • 3 tbsp. sugar

  • 3 tbsp. of butter, melted

  • 2 tsp. of yeast

  • ½ cup of milk

  2. Using a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter and milk, once this is done, add it into the flour mixture.
