    Because THC is soluable in fat, you usually just make budder with it and then make something that uses lots of butter. Like baked goods.

    You might be able to infuse ham with weed; but I’m not sure how you might accomplish that.

    Classic edibles where I’m from is pancakes and hot chocolate. Not really savoury but still something other than cake and gummy bears. And less effort to make yourself than cakes and gummies.

      Bit of garlic butter and some cream cheese and you can have savoury edible pancakes.

      I kind of want to do that now.

    Because weed has an incredibly persistent flavor that’s easiest to mask with sweets.

    You could make a THC laced ham, but you’ll have a hard time making it taste good. Not impossible, just difficult.

      Are y’all just throwing weed in oil and hoping for the best?

      You can absolutely make a tasteless cannabutter. Follow a guide.

    THC butter exists, but you won’t escape the weed taste.

    Chocolate and gelatin with a bunch of sugar is the only real way to cut that taste.

      Funny you say that because I make peanut butter ABV sandwiches and it tastes very dilly in that capacity

      How much do you need to use for it to be effective?

      A grilled cheese doesn’t feel like it holds a lot of butter, so is the butter very strong?

        You don’t need a ton. The butter cooks into it pretty well. For best results put it on the inside of the bread or do both, depends on how intense you’re looking for.

    I feel like part of this is because of temperature issues. Searing meat or baking ham is probably done at temperatures that will destroy the chemicals you want. As an alternative, if you make cannabutter with properly water cured avb, you can spread it on freshly baked garlic bread which is maybe my favorite homemade edible

    I feel the same way about protein bars. Why is it always double chocolate caramel swirl rainbow birthday cake? Is it really impossible to make a protein bar savory?

      It would help with issue of children thinking they are candy and eating them.

      I was running through the ways to mix grains and meat, and then I realized we already have sandwiches.

      There are also things like meatballs baked into subs, but none of this really seems healthy.

      You could try taking whole cereal grains, frying them up and using an egg to bind it. Could add bits of meat. From there, bake or dehydrate it.

      Might need some fine tuning. The first few batches might come out a bit over-crunchy.

    Several dispensaries near me sell THC food. They cook it on location because stuff that isn’t as shelf stable as gimmies, cookies, etc. is much more risky to distribute.
