Preparation and Seasoning: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Season the scored pork belly liberally with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, ensuring the spices get into the scores for maximum flavor.

Creating the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the melted cannabutter, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. This mixture will create a sweet and tangy glaze that will caramelize beautifully on the pork belly.

Baking the Pork Belly: Place the pork belly on a rack in a baking tray, skin side up. Brush half of the glaze over the pork belly, then bake in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the skin is crispy. Halfway through the cooking time, brush the pork belly with the remaining glaze to build up a rich, sticky coating.

Finishing with a Broil: For an extra crispy finish, broil the pork belly for a few minutes after baking, watching carefully to avoid burning. This will intensify the flavors and textures, making the skin cracklingly crisp.
