Discover how to make super versatile cannabis-infused salt that can jazz up anything from your margarita glass to popcorn. What we want is a 2:1 ratio of salt to cannabis tincture mixed in a dish with a large surface area. We'll evaporate the alcohol off, frequently stirring, leaving us with cannabis-coated salt crystals.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup cannabis tincture
Equipment
- baking dish
- silicone spatula
- cheesecloth
- heat mat (optional, for drying)
Directions
- Add the salt to a baking dish.
- Pour your tincture over the salt.
- Use a silicone spatula to mix the salt and tincture thoroughly, coating the salt. The mixture will resemble wet sand. If it looks too wet, you can add a little more salt. If it looks too dry, add a little more tincture.
- Cover the dish with a layer of cheesecloth to keep dust, cat hair, fairies, and other debris out of your salt.
- Place the dish somewhere it won't be disturbed and allow the alcohol to evaporate completely. Stir frequently (5-6 times a day) to ensure complete evaporation. If you're looking to speed up evaporation, keep in mind that alcohol is EXTREMELY flammable. I use a heat mat for seedlings underneath my baking dish as a source of low heat to speed up evaporation.
- The salt is ready when it again looks like dry salt, and it no longer smells like alcohol.
- Store in an air-tight container in a cool, dark place.

Edible safety
- Label it. Mark every container as cannabis-infused, with the estimated dose per serving and the date you made it.
- Lock it up. Store edibles out of sight and reach of children and pets, away from your regular food. A locked box is best.
- Start low, go slow. Edibles can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in. Wait at least 2 hours before eating more.
- Skip it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, and never drive after eating edibles.
- If a child or pet eats some, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 (US) or your vet right away. Call 911 if someone has trouble breathing or won't wake up.
