The main ingredient needed to make this recipe is Cannabis Butter.
What is Cannabis Butter
What is cannabis butter, and how does it work? The cannabis-infused edible ingredient can be intimidating to newcomers. Cannabis butter is actually butter that has been infused with cannabis. Any recipe that contains butter can be turned into an edible recipe with the addition of cannabis to the butter! Cannabis flower or any of the various concentrates can be used to make edible butter.
When THC is infused into butter, it gives it a cannabis-like aroma and flavor. However, not all cannabis strains have the same scent and flavor, so the taste and smell can vary slightly depending on the strain you use.

How to Decarboxylate Cannabis
You must first decarboxylate the cannabis before making cannabis butter. The basic reason why decarboxylation is essential is that we need to do a process that enables the cannabis to become bioavailable, which means that it will have an impact when consumed. This is a simple three-step decarboxylation guide:
Step one: Preheat the oven to 240 degrees Fahrenheit (116 Celsius)
Step two: Grind as much marijuana as you need and spread it out uniformly on a baking sheet. If you like, you can also use kief.
Step three: Place the baking sheet in the oven for 45 minutes on the middle rack. If you’re using kief, just cook for 30 minutes in the oven.
You’re ready to make cannabis butter once you’ve decarboxylated the cannabis. A fantastic tutorial on how to make cannabis butter can be found here.

Store-Bought Weed Rice Krispy Edibles VS Homemade Weed Rice Krispy Edibles
The difference between these types of edibles is that homemade edibles are usually more potent than those purchased in stores. The amount of THC allowed in a package of edibles is usually controlled in most countries. Furthermore, edibles purchased in a dispensary would be significantly more costly than edibles prepared at home.
This is significant for a number of reasons, but most importantly, it means that if you make edibles at home, you will get more bang for your buck because you will need less cannabis to achieve a higher THC content. To put things in context, a dispensary could sell a pack of edibles with 5-25mg of THC for $20. The THC content in one gram of regular-grade cannabis is between 100-150mg. By making homemade edibles, you’ll save money and have the ability to make the edibles more potent than if you purchased them from a dispensary.
Another great advantage of making your own weed rice krispies is that you have complete control over what goes into them. Unlike several store-bought edibles, you’ll be able to pronounce each ingredient on the list. You can also make these organic or according to any of your dietary needs.

How Potent Should I Make My Weed Rice Krispy Edibles?
There are a lot of things to consider if you’re a beginner and wondering “how potent should I make my cannabis edibles?” This is particularly true if you are just getting started with your own cannabis edibles consumption. For beginners, a potency of no more than 25mg THC is recommended. When it comes to edibles, it’s best to start slowly and gradually increase the potency as required. If you consume too much, it may result in a negative experience.
Going to an edibles forum is another good way to figure out what potency is perfect for you. On Reddit, there are numerous active forums where you can find hundreds of active discussions about edible potency suggestions as well as any questions people may have about edibles. Remember that no one on Reddit will know the exact amount that is right for you, so it might be beneficial to speak with others or a licensed professional.
