Sides

A main dish always is better with a trusty sidekick. These easy and versatile sides will really tie the meal together. If cooking as a side to other cannabis dishes, be aware of the cumulative effect of the medicine. You can always make them without marijuana if need be. Either way, these sides are sure to make your meal into an event. These are some of my favorite leftovers, as well. Adding a cannabis side to any dinner makes it a fabulous and functional experience.

If you want larger portions or seconds, consider reducing the cannabutter dosage.

Tasty Snacks

Cannabis snacks make sense. Because of the individuality of popcorn, nuts, and seeds, you can regulate your dosage almost to a science. When you find a level that works for you, you can easily prepackage these snacks into adequate portions for home or on the go. Take three nuts and call me in the morning. Beware of the munchies. Prepare to have non-medicated alternative snacks for munching on if cannabis heavily stimulates your appetite.

These will sneak up on you, so watch your dosage!
