Super Bowl Snack Showdown: Cannabis-Infused Game Day Recipe


The Super Bowl is the perfect time to get together with friends, watch the big game, and enjoy some classic snacks. But this year, why not give those snacks an extra kick by adding cannabis?


As weed becomes legal in more states, putting THC in-game day foods is getting popular. Whether you want to relax, make the games more fun, or eat healthier, edibles can make the Super Bowl more enjoyable. But getting the dose right and consuming it responsibly is important.


When cooking with cannabis, it's important to decarboxylate the cannabis first to activate the THC. Decarboxylation converts the THC-A in raw cannabis into psychoactive THC that provides the high. There are a few easy ways to decarb your cannabis at home.

Decarboxylating Cannabis for Edibles

Before using cannabis in any recipe, it must be decarboxylated or "decarbed" first. Here are some simple ways to decarb cannabis at home:


  • Oven Method: Preheat oven to 240°F. Break up cannabis buds into small pieces and spread evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

  • Slow Cooker Method: Break up buds and place in a slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

  • Sous Vide Method: Seal cannabis buds in a vacuum-sealed bag and cook at 203°F for 45-90 minutes.

  • Once decarbed, the cannabis is activated and ready to infuse into oils, butter, snacks, and more. You must properly decarb your cannabis to get the most potency out of your edibles.
