1. Herbed Italian polenta pizza + hempseed parmesan
This is no ordinary pizza. Traditional pizza sauce is replaced by a thick and creamy marinara polenta. This polenta is infused with activated cannabis, giving it a complimentary, rich, herbal taste. This recipe is technically vegan, but meat-lovers would never guess. To kick things up a notch, add a little salad with budsamic vinaigrette on the side.
Infused ingredient: Cannabis Coconut Oil

2. Pulled pot-pork sandwich
Made over a grill, there’s nothing not to love about this pulled pot-pork sandwich. The herbal taste of the cannabis-infused olive oil is a match made in heaven for the charred, smoky pork. A little sweetness from barbecue sauce and some acidity from a coleslaw garnish make this a true delight for your taste buds.

3. Mexican hot chocolate
Sometimes you just want something decadent. Not only is this hot chocolate canna-infused, but the chocolate adds another layer of mind-altering experience. Chocolate increases the amount of a THC-like chemical in the body. So, a mug of this delicious dessert will leave you feeling blissful, relaxed, and a little giggly.

4. Bud rum cocktail base
This alcohol infusion is so easy to make, you’ll wonder why you’ve never thought of it before. Basically, you just add some dried, ground cannabis to your favorite bottle of rum and let it sit for a few days. Then, you gently activate the cannabis in a hot water bath. The result? An elixir that will take the classic rum cocktail to new heights. A word of warning, though: this recipe isn’t for the faint of heart. Mixing cannabis and booze can quickly make you very intoxicated.

6. Seared sirloin steak with savory bread pudding
This dish is perfect for a special dinner for two. It takes a little while to prepare, but the labor is totally worth it.

7. Ricotta stuffed mushrooms
You couldn’t ask for a better appetizer. Mushrooms and cannabis make for a great flavor combination. The earthiness of the mushrooms plays up the herbal, hop-like flavor of the cannabis. The fat in the ricotta cheese really ties everything together. You’ll definitely want to eat more than just one.

8. Chipotle-avocado baked mac & cheese
This may be a healthier take on the classic mac & cheese, but it sure tastes like a luxury. Avocados are excellent substitutes for cream, and the smokey chipotle takes dominance over the flavor of the cannaoil. A hemp seed parmesan adds a little extra cannabis influence to this dish. If vegan mac isn’t your thing, we’ve got some recipes for the classic version as well.

9. Flourless cannabis chocolate cake
Who doesn’t love chocolate cake? This flourless version is gluten free and makes for the perfect nightcap. Cannabutter gives a little extra smokiness to the bittersweet chocolate. If the slight herbal taste of cannabutter doesn’t suit you, throw in a little cinnamon or some nutmeg to amp up the spiciness of the cake.

10. Banana canna-cream pie
A summer classic, this recipe is super easy to make. As long as you have a pre-baked pie shell, there’s no oven required! The only cooking necessary is mixing the cannabis-infused milk with some cornstarch, sugar, and salt to create a perfect thickener. The cool part is that once you’ve got this recipe down, you can branch out to other delicious flavors like peanut butter and chocolate.
