What is cannabis sugar?
Cannabis sugar is a simple but effective way to incorporate THC or CBD into desserts, drinks or sweets. By infusing sugar with cannabis butter or tincture, you get a versatile product that is discreet and easy to dose.
Why use cannabis sugar?
- Discretion: Unlike smoking, cannabis sugar is odorless and inconspicuous.
- Long shelf life: If stored correctly, it will keep for months.
- Versatility: Ideal for cookies, cakes, cocktails or even coffee.

Ingredients & materials

- 1/4 cup cannabis butter or cannabis tincture (alcohol-based)

Step-by-step instructions
