This is a collaborative post: Cooking with cannabis isn’t a new phenomenon – in fact, the practice dates back centuries where it featured in spiritual recipes in countries such as Italy and India. But the practice of cooking with CBD is something that has sprung into popularity in recent years. Here are six unique CBD-infused recipes to try.
