Home cannabis infusion follows a simple workflow. Source your flower, master each step, and you can make any edible — from simple cannabutter to precision-dosed tinctures.

Source Your Flower

Get lab-tested CBD, delta-8, or hemp flower — the raw material for every infusion.

The quality of your starting material determines the quality of your finished product. Lab-verified flower ensures you know the exact cannabinoid content for accurate dosing later.

Varies Easy

Decarboxylate

Activate the cannabinoids in your flower through controlled heat.

Raw cannabis contains THC-A, which isn't psychoactive. Decarboxylation converts it to THC through heat — without this step, your edibles won't work. It's the most important 30 minutes of the whole process.

Choose Your Base

Pick your carrier — butter, coconut oil, or alcohol for tinctures.

THC is fat-soluble, so it needs a carrier to bind to. Your choice of base determines what you can make: butter for baking, oil for cooking, or alcohol for tinctures and gummies. Each has different shelf life and versatility.

5 min decision Easy

Infuse

Combine decarbed flower with your carrier using time and temperature.

This is where THC transfers from the plant material into your butter, oil, or alcohol. The key variables are time, temperature, and ratio. Our guides give you exact numbers for each method.

Calculate Dosage

Use our calculator to determine mg per serving.

Knowing your potency is the difference between a pleasant experience and an overwhelming one. Our calculator takes your flower's THC percentage, weight, and carrier volume to give you exact mg per teaspoon.
