A Quick Guide to Modern Cannabis Infusion Formats

The cannabis world is evolving — and so is the way we cook with it. Here's a quick breakdown of the newer infusion formats and how to use them in your kitchen.

1. Nanoemulsion THC

• What it is: Water-compatible THC broken down into tiny particles
• Why it's useful: Faster onset (10–20 min), mixes into drinks easily
• Use in: Teas, mocktails, juice shots

2. Water-Soluble THC

• What it is: THC designed to dissolve in water instead of fat
• Why it's useful: Clean, flavorless, easy to dose in hot or cold liquids
• Use in: Soup, smoothies, soda, broths

3. Live Rosin or Resin

• What it is: Full-spectrum extract made without solvents (rosin) or with light solvents (resin)
• Why it's useful: Preserves terpenes and full plant effects
• Use in: Chocolate, oils, intense flavor pairings

4. THCA Crystals

• What it is: Pure, non-psychoactive precursor to THC
• Why it's useful: Anti-inflammatory, can be used without the high
• Use in: Juices, smoothies, raw food — just don’t heat

5. CBD Isolate or Distillate

• What it is: Pure CBD with no THC
• Why it's useful: Great for non-intoxicating wellness recipes
• Use in: Bars, teas, recovery snacks

Final Notes

Always check potency, stir thoroughly, and label everything clearly. Modern infusions are powerful — and with the right knowledge, delicious too.
