420 isn’t all about smoking. While it started that way, edibles have taken up a massive sector of the modern cannabis industry.

If you’re ready for a different type of sensory experience, it’s time to get “mise en place” for some infused fun. Even if you’re new to making edibles, some of these recipes are right up your alley.

We’ve packed this guide with the 20 best cannabis recipes for every taste and skill level. See them all below.

In order to make weed-infused food, you need a THC base that can easily bind to the fats in food.

The most popular options are unsalted butter and oil, both offering a relatively easy way to incorporate THC into many recipes.

If you’re unsure where to start, see our guides below:

Once you have your base, infusing THC into any dish is easy. We’ve included some meal ideas below that pair particularly well with a little herbal essence (not the shampoo).
