Bud Bacon Recipe

1. Decarboxylation
A. Heat oven between 200-250 degrees (240 degrees is ideal).
B. Place broken down cannabis on baking sheet in a thin, even layer.
C. Cook cannabis between 40-60 minutes, rotating baking sheet once or twice to ensure even heating.

*Note: Cannabis must go through decarboxylation by being properly heated to activate the psychoactive component, THC.

2. Prep Bacon
A. Clear baking sheet of decarbed cannabis and evenly spread bacon on it.
B. Grind cannabis close to powder.
C. Sprinkle ground cannabis onto bacon evenly (can use a salt shaker for this step).

3. Bake Bacon
A. Heat oven to 275 degrees.
B. Place bacon in oven for 10 minutes.
C. Pull bacon out and flip each piece over with tongs. Sprinkle cannabis atop bacon evenly again.
D. Place bacon in oven for 10 more minutes. Take out, allow to cool, and enjoy!
