Why Make Cannabis Honey Infusion at Home

Cannabis honey infusion, often called canna honey or weed honey, combines honey’s natural antibacterial properties with cannabis cannabinoids for a soothing, edible treat. Honey’s thickness helps extract THC slowly, creating smooth, flavorful results without harsh tastes.

From my early growing days, this became a staple for using trim—turning leftovers into golden THC honey. Additionally, it’s vegan-friendly and ideal for micro-dosing in daily routines. And honey just tastes good!

In 2026, infused cannabis honey trends for wellness teas and topicals. Expand your infusions beyond our cannabutter guide.

Always check local laws before growing or infusing, as legality varies.

Ingredients and Tools for Canna Honey

For a 16-ounce jar of potent canna honey:

• 1 cup raw honey (local or organic for best flavor)
• 3-7 grams decarboxylated cannabis (adjust for strength)
• Optional: 1 tsp lecithin for better binding

Tools: Mason jar, cheesecloth, slow cooker or double boiler.

I’ve found raw honey preserves terpenes better. Source buds from grows in our indoor guide.

Decarboxylation: Key for Potent Weed Honey

Decarb activates cannabinoids—grind cannabis coarsely, bake at 240°F for 30-40 minutes. This is the temp needed for decarboxylation.

I forgot this step once and was left with inactive honey; it’s essential for infused cannabis honey potency.

Full details in our decarboxylation techniques (coming soon). Low-temp methods shine here, use the least amount of heat possible.

Best Infusion Methods for Infused Cannabis Honey

Slow cooker on low prevents overheating; double boiler works for stovetop control.

Slow methods extract best without degrading honey.

See Leafly’s cannabis honey recipe for more ideas.

Step-by-Step Cannabis Honey Infusion Recipe

After decarb:

1. Warm honey in slow cooker on low until runny.
2. Add decarbed cannabis (and lecithin if using).
3. Infuse 2-4 hours, stirring occasionally—keep below 200°F.
4. Strain through cheesecloth into jar.
5. Cool and store in dark place.

My batches have turned creamy and potent this way.

Calculating Potency in Your THC Honey

For 3.5g at 20% THC in 1 cup honey (~24 tbsp): ~560mg total after losses = ~23mg per tablespoon.

Start with 1 tsp for testing. Label clearly—from experience. Over juicing with THC is never a good feeling.

Creative Uses for Cannabis Infused Honey

Stir into tea, drizzle on yogurt, or glaze meats.

• Wellness: Soothe throats with CBD strains from THC vs CBD guide.
• Baking: Swap in recipes like our PB cookies.

I’ve loved it on toast for mellow mornings. Might make a very early nap a possibility…lol

Troubleshooting Your Canna-honey Batch

Weak effects? Extend infusion or check decarb.

• Grainy: Warm and stir more.
• Separation: Add lecithin next time.
• Bitter: Lower heat.
