CBD Eggnog
Before we get into the details of any cannabis recipe, it is essential to note that cannabis needs decarboxylation, and it must not be directly introduced to the recipes. This means you must heat-infuse cannabis flowers in an oil base or butter. Most of the Cannabis-infused recipes get easier to prepare if you have a batch of canna-butter available.
You can either get it from the market or put it together. Also, the quality of weed you use in the dishes makes a lot of difference. Although it would do only a little to the flavor, the cannabinoid profile offers potential health advantages. You can grab the best autoflowering seeds available online to get your fresh supply of weed.
