🚀 How to Make Cannabis Milk Step by Step

Step 1: Decarboxylation (45 min) — CRUCIAL!

Raw cannabis does NOT have psychoactive effects. You must activate the THC through heat:

1. Preheat the oven to 110°C
2. Break up the flowers (don’t pulverize them)
3. Spread them on a baking tray with parchment paper
4. Bake for 40-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes
5. The cannabis should be dry and lightly golden

Step 2: Slow Infusion (2-3h)

1. In a saucepan over minimum heat, warm the milk with the water
2. Add the already decarboxylated cannabis
3. Keep on minimum heat (never let it boil; ideally 60-70°C)
4. Stir every 20-30 minutes
5. Let infuse for 2-3 hours (the longer, the more potent)

💡 Pro Tip: Use a thermometer. If you exceed 100°C, the THC evaporates.

Step 3: Filtering (15 min)

1. Prepare a bowl with a coffee filter or clean cheesecloth
2. Pour the hot mixture through the filter
3. Press well to extract all the milk
4. Repeat filtering 2-3 times until you get a clear liquid
5. Discard the plant remains

Step 4: Flavoring and Storage

1. If desired, add vanilla, honey, or sugar
2. Let cool to room temperature (30 min)
3. Store in a glass jar with an airtight lid
4. Refrigerate immediately
5. Label clearly: “CANNABIS MILK – KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN”

Total time: 3-4 hours
Active time: 45 minutes

📊 Dosage: How Much Cannabis to Use

Level	Cannabis per 500ml milk	Estimated THC per glass (200ml)	Effect
Beginner	7-10g	5-10mg THC	Gentle relaxation
Intermediate	15-20g	15-25mg THC	Euphoria, body high
Advanced	25-30g	30-50mg THC	Deep sedation

Quick Potency Calculation:

(Grams of cannabis × 1000 × %THC × 0.8) ÷ Number of servings

Example: 15g at 18% THC = 15 × 1000 × 0.18 × 0.8 = 2160mg total THC
If you make 10 glasses: 2160 ÷ 10 = 216mg THC per glass

⚠️ WARNING: Start with half glasses if you’re a beginner. The effect takes 60-120 minutes.

❌ Common Mistakes When Making Cannabis Milk

1. Not decarboxylating → Result: milk with no effect. Always bake the cannabis first.
2. Heating too much → THC evaporates. Use minimum heat.
3. Not straining well → Plant residue in the milk. Use a coffee filter, strain 3 times.
4. Boiling the milk → It burns and loses flavor. Keep on minimum heat.
5. Not labeling → Someone may drink it unknowingly. Label clearly.
6. Using skimmed milk → Fat helps extract THC. Use whole milk.
7. Not calculating dosage → Unpredictable effects. Use our formula.

✅ Vegan Cannabis Milk (with plant-based drink)

The preparation is identical, only the base changes:

• Oat milk: Creamy texture, smooth flavor (recommended)
• Almond milk: Intense flavor, less fat than whole milk
• Soy milk: Higher protein content, texture similar to whole milk
• Coconut milk: Very creamy, intense tropical flavor

💡 Tip: Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to increase fat and improve extraction.

📖 Flavor Variations

1. Cannabis condensed milk: Add 200g sugar at the end, cook 30 more minutes
2. Vanilla milk: 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
3. Cinnamon milk: 1 cinnamon stick during infusion
4. Chocolate milk: Add 30g of pure cocoa powder
5. Nut milk: 50g of crushed almonds or walnuts

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How long does cannabis milk take to take effect?
Between 60 and 120 minutes after consumption. The digestive process delays absorption.

Can cannabis milk be frozen?
Yes, and it’s the best way to preserve it (up to 4 months without losing potency).

How much THC does each glass have?
It depends on your dosage. With our intermediate recipe, each glass has about 200mg of THC.

Can I use skimmed milk?
Not recommended. The fat in whole milk is necessary to properly extract THC.

How long does cannabis milk last in the fridge?
5-7 days maximum. If you notice a sour smell, discard immediately.

Can I make ice cream with this milk?
Of course! Freeze the milk in an ice cream maker for a delicious dessert.

Why didn’t my milk have any effect?
Most likely you forgot the decarboxylation or used skimmed milk.

🌡️ Critical Temperatures

Phase	Ideal Temperature	⚠️ If you go over...	🔬 Why
Decarboxylation	105-115°C	You lose terpenes and flavor	THCA → THC occurs at 105°C
Infusion	60-80°C	You evaporate THC (>157°C)	THC degrades to CBN (more sedating effect)
Baking	160-180°C	You degrade all cannabinoids	Above 200°C, THC is destroyed

💡 Pro tip: Invest in a digital kitchen thermometer. They cost €10-15 and make the difference between "it didn't work" and "perfect."

⚠️ Anti-Bad-Trip Checklist

Before you dig in, review this:

• [ ] ✅ I've calculated my dose using the formula above
• [ ] ✅ My stomach has some food in it (more gradual effect)
• [ ] ✅ I'm not mixing with alcohol (multiplies intensity)
• [ ] ✅ I have 6-8 free hours ahead
• [ ] ✅ There's someone sober reachable (your "copilot")
• [ ] ✅ I've labeled the final product "CONTAINS CANNABIS"
• [ ] ✅ I have water, snacks, and a relaxing playlist on hand

🆘 If you feel it's too much...

1. Breathe — long pause (inhale 4s, hold 4s, exhale 6s, repeat 5 times)
2. CBD — CBD partially counteracts THC's effects. A few drops of CBD oil help
3. Distract yourself — put on a light series, listen to calm music, lie down
4. Remember — no one has ever died from consuming cannabis. The rough patch PASSES. In 1-2 hours you'll feel better

📦 Storage: Maximize Potency and Flavor

Method	Duration	How
🌡️ Room temperature (cool and dark)	3-5 days	Airtight container, away from direct light
❄️ Fridge (4°C)	2-3 weeks	Glass jar with lid, labeled
🧊 Freezer (-18°C)	3-6 months	Wrap individual portions in cling film + aluminum foil

🚫 Never microwave to defrost. Uneven heat degrades THC. Defrost at room temperature for 30-60 min.
