Looking to bring creativity into the kitchen? With the right approach, these cannabis cooking tips can help you explore infusions in a safe, fun, and flavorful way.
While we don’t sell edible ingredients at Green Leaf NY, many of our customers love experimenting with their own low-dose creations — especially with flower, concentrates, or tinctures.
🥄 3 Rules for Cooking with Cannabis
- Always decarboxylate your flower
This step activates the THC and CBD — essential for any edible to work. - Start with low doses
You can always eat more — but you can’t eat less. Edibles take time to kick in and can feel stronger than inhaled formats. - Use fat to bind cannabinoids
THC and CBD are fat-soluble, so you’ll need butter, oil, or another fatty base to make infusions work.

🚫 Important Note
All homemade cannabis foods are for personal use only and must be kept out of reach of minors and pets. Label your creations clearly and enjoy them responsibly. While home cooking can be a fun way to explore plant-based routines, safety and moderation should always come first. If you’re unsure about dosing or methods, there are plenty of trusted resources and educators to guide you. Start with small batches, take notes on your experience, and never serve homemade infusions to others without clear labeling and full transparency.
When in doubt, visit a licensed dispensary like Green Leaf NY to ask questions or explore compliant, pre-measured options instead.
