How to Make Weed Nacho Cheese

Weed nacho cheese is a great recipe to add to the collection. This recipe allows you to infuse cannabis into other great recipes that you would usually not be able to. This recipe is very simple and only takes around 30 minutes from start to finish!

For this recipe, it’s especially important that you check out the potency calculator at the bottom of this post. It will help you determine the mg of THC in 1 cup, 1 tbsp, and 1 tsp of your infused nacho cheese. Since this recipe, for the most part, is just making an ingredient that can be used in other recipes it’s important that you have an idea of the potency. Something to keep in mind though; there are lots of other variables involved so the potency calculation is just a rough estimate.

    Enter the amount of cannabis you are using to infuse butter, oil, milk, etc.
