Handy Tricks: Cannabis Oil Dosage: Start with a lower dose of cannabis oil, especially if you're new to cannabis edibles. You can always add more, but it's difficult to reduce potency once added. Fruit Variations: Feel free to experiment with different combinations of berries or substitute other fruits based on your preferences. Nutritional Boosts: For an extra nutritional boost, consider adding a scoop of protein powder, a handful of spinach, or a tablespoon of chia seeds to the smoothie.

Decarboxylate Cannabis: Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread your cannabis evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. This activates the THC/CBD, making it ready for infusion.

Combine Oil and Cannabis: In a saucepan, gently heat the coconut oil. Add the decarboxylated cannabis, stirring to combine.

Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Avoid boiling to prevent THC/CBD degradation.
