10 mg / tablespoonInfusions
Low-dose cannabutter
The base for most recipes here. One gram of flower per cup of butter lands near 10 mg THC per tablespoon (theoretical), so six tablespoons in a batch of twelve gives about 5 mg each.

Infusions: the eight bases
Every recipe on this site starts from one of these eight infusions. Each is deliberately mild so a tablespoon or teaspoon is a dose you can divide. The potency shown is a theoretical maximum: grams × THCA % × 0.877, spread over the volume you make.
10 mg / tablespoonInfusions
Infused coconut oil
Same maths as cannabutter, dairy-free, and it sets solid so you can portion it by the gram. Used in the gummies, chocolate bark and peanut butter cups.
10 mg / tablespoonInfusions
Infused olive oil
For pesto, dressings, crackers and roasting. Never for frying: THC degrades at high heat and the flavour turns bitter.
2.5 mg / teaspoonInfusions
Infused honey
The gentlest infusion here and the base for the drinks: about 2.5 mg per teaspoon (theoretical), the amount Health Canada suggests new users start at or below.
2.3 mg / millilitreInfusions
Alcohol tincture
Dropper-dosed and easy to measure: about 2.3 mg per millilitre (theoretical). Made cold, so nothing is lost to heat. The base for cannabis sugar.
2.8 mg / teaspoonInfusions
Cannabis sugar
Tincture dried onto sugar at room temperature. Spoonable, shelf-stable and gentle: just under 3 mg per teaspoon (theoretical).
10 mg / tablespoonInfusions
Infused ghee
Clarified butter takes the infusion well, keeps longer than cannabutter and suits Indian and Middle Eastern cooking.
5 mg / tablespoonInfusions
Infused cream
A small, perishable infusion for drinks. Half a gram per cup gives tablespoon doses near 5 mg (theoretical). Use within four days.

Your flower is different
Every dose on this site assumes flower at 18% THCA. If your label says otherwise, the dosage calculator re-runs the maths for any recipe in a few seconds.
