Cannabis is a plant that has been known to enhance creativity, and with the increasing availability of different forms of consumption, getting high has never been easier. While the classic “pot brownie” is a tried and true favorite, the current marketplace is dominated by sugary treats. From lollipops to cakes, cookies to ice cream, and everything in between, there are endless options for satisfying your sweet tooth while also getting high. But the truth is, if you can put fat in the food, you can put weed in the food. By infusing plant material into a fat or melting decarboxylated hash into a fat, you can create an ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, not just desserts.
One of the most versatile and easy-to-use cannabis-infused ingredients is olive oil. With its rich flavor and health benefits, it can be used in a multitude of ways to medicate your munchies. Simply mix it with vinegar for a salad dressing, use it as a dip for bread, or add it to soups and sauces for accurate dosing and a good time. You can even mix it into store-bought hummus for a healthy and tasty ganja snack.
Making hash-infused olive oil is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 gram of BHO (butane hash oil)
– 1 cup of olive oil
First, you’ll need to decarboxylate (or activate) the hash. Preheat your oven to 200°F and place the gram of BHO into a parchment paper or silicone baking cup. If the consistency is too difficult to work with, you can put the hash in the freezer to solidify it before transferring it to the baking cup. Place the cup in the oven for 20 minutes, then remove it and place it in the freezer.
Next, measure out 1 cup of olive oil and heat it on the stovetop or in the microwave. If using the stovetop, heat the oil over low heat and stir in the frozen hash until it has melted. If using the microwave, heat the oil in 15-second intervals, stirring after each until the hash has dissolved. Be careful not to overheat, as decarbed hash requires less heat to melt than in its original state.
And there you have it, your very own medicated olive oil! This hash-infused oil is perfect for mixing into dishes or using on the go. If the dosage seems too strong, feel free to cut it with regular oil. You can always have seconds, and trust us, you’ll probably want to.
