Cannabis has amazing healing benefits, which is why it is a great ingredient to use in topical, such as lotions, salves and roll-ons.

Step 3
Line your 12-count muffin tin with cupcake wrappers (get creative and make it fun!), and divide batter equally between each cup. Bake for approximately 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should spring back to the touch and appear slightly brown. Each muffin will have approximately 5-10 mg of THC, which is at or below the recommended beginner’s dosage. Remember, start slow. When ingesting/eating medical cannabis, it takes longer to feel. Be sure to go very slow if this is your first time baking edibles and eating them at home.
