What ingredients do I need?
Lemons. You need approximately 4-6 lemons to get 1 cup of lemon juice. 1 cup of lemon juice is good enough for 1 pitcher of weed infused lemonade.
Infusion ingredient – either weed infused sugar, or weed infused honey. You only need to use one of these ingredients. Take the pick of which one you want to use. If you are sitting there with weed nuggets in your hands, wondering what to do because you do not have any infused honey or sugar – check out their step-by-step recipes. Infuse those nugs into some honey or sugar then return to this recipe.
Alternatively, you can follow this recipe using normal non-infused sugar/honey then add a few drops of cannabis tincture at the end to infuse the lemonade with cannabinoids.
And, water.

Notes
Nutrition
Can cannabis infused lemonade get me high?
If you used cannabis which contains THC to make your cannasugar or cannahoney, then yes.
How high you get depends on the potency of your infused honey/sugar. You may barely feel it if your infused honey/sugar is weak, and on the opposite end of the spectrum, it may blow your socks off if your infused ingredients are potent. Please keep in mind that it can take upwards of an hour to fully feel the effects from cannabis edibles (and drinkables). Always test the potency of your infused goodies with a small amount first.
The “high” from cannabis comes from the THC is cannabis. If you want to make cannabinoid infused lemonade without the THC, use CBD dominant strains with little to no THC to make your infused honey/sugar. You can get strains that have 0.2% or less THC in but plenty CBD. Alternatively, you can use a CBD alcohol tincture which contains no THC. Just add a few drops to the pitcher of freshly made lemonade at the end, before serving.
I fell asleep and got a sunburn after drinking one of these on my patio. Would make this again for sure!
Very tastey😍
I used cannasugar to make this lemonade and it turned out really well. Nothing like some good old home made lemonade
