A method for preparing a popular confectionery item involves incorporating cannabis, typically in the form of cannabutter or cannabis oil, into the standard ingredients of puffed rice cereal, marshmallows, and butter. The end result is an edible product containing cannabinoids, primarily tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or cannabidiol (CBD), depending on the source material. The process adapts a well-known baking procedure to facilitate ingestion of cannabis through a palatable food item.
The creation of cannabinoid-infused edibles allows for a discreet and often preferred alternative to inhalation methods of cannabis consumption. The effects of consuming cannabis-infused foods generally take longer to manifest compared to smoking or vaping, due to the digestive process. However, the effects can also be more prolonged and intense. Historically, cooking with cannabis has been practiced for centuries in various cultures, with contemporary adaptations focusing on controlled dosage and flavor profiles.
