4. You don't put the weed into the food

Some people do, but very rarely, and it sucks. Don't do it!

You extract the THC from the cannabis. I usually do that by making cannabutter, but there are other methods using oil or other "fats". Also alcohol tinctures, though that is not as versatile for cooking purposes. Some people use hash. Generally, cooking with cannabis means using infused butter. I make great cookies with my butter! I also keep some at hand for general use in place of regular butter.

One of the key aspects of making butter and cooking with it is temperature control. If it gets too hot, the THC is reduced. So slow and low is preferred when cooking with cannabutter, adjust your recipes accordingly.

I use a crock-pot for 20 hours at 200 degrees (NEVER above 210! I use a cooking thermometer with a temperature alarm), stirring frequently. It's basically what I call the "modified Samuel Jackson" method (not exactly, but very close) based on an old and iconic internet meme someone made that follows the preferred method... Enjoy!
