Cannabinoids require fat for optimal absorption. This principle explains why recipes often use butter or oil for infusion. But while cannabutter is the classic choice, olive oil offers a healthy, versatile alternative.

Estimating potency requires careful considerations based on your cannabis's THC content, your infusion method, and personal factors.
