Commencing your day with bacon is a true luxury. The aroma is tantalising, the sizzle is music to your ears, and the flavour? Well, the taste is unparalleled. It’s arguably the perfect way to start your day, or even conclude it if you’re opting for the breakfast-for-dinner route.

The possibilities don’t end there, though. Bacon has the magical ability to enhance everything—even desserts. Add cannabis to the equation, and you’ve got a one-two punch of wonderful. Cannabis-infused bacon is poised to become your next favourite breakfast (and lunch and dinner) delicacy, and the best part is you can utilise the leftover infused bacon grease to scramble eggs, stir fry some dinner, or incorporate it into a soup base.So grab your favourite cannabis strain and some bacon strips, and get ready for the ultimate breakfast in bed.

So grab your favourite cannabis strain and some bacon strips, and get ready for the ultimate breakfast in bed.

What you’ll need:

• Whole flower cannabis (your favourite strain)

• A cannabis grinder

• Bacon strips

• A baking tray

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 225oF.

2. Grind your cannabis into a fine powder—it should resemble dried oregano or basil.

3. Spread the cannabis powder onto an ungreased baking tray and bake for 45 minutes. This will commence the decarboxylation process, activating the active compounds in cannabis.

4. Lay the bacon strips onto a different, ungreased baking tray. You can use parchment paper to help contain some of the mess.

5. When the cannabis is done baking, take it out of the oven and set the temperature to 275oF.

6. Evenly distribute half of the baked ground cannabis by sprinkling it over one side of the bacon strips.

7. Put the cannabis-coated bacon back in the oven for 10 minutes.

8. Remove the tray from the oven, flip the bacon strips, and sprinkle the remainder of the ground cannabis on the other side.

9. Bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Take the remaining bacon grease and pour it into a container to solidify; then, use it as the fat in your next recipe! In terms of THC and CBD content, that will all depend on the strain you use and how much of it you add to the bacon, so, as with any cannabis recipe, make sure you start low and go slow.

Enjoy!

Remember: with any cannabis product, it’s always best to start low and go slow. Refer to Health Canada’s guidelines on cannabis consumption for more information.
