Dosing Tips for Your Cannabis Garlic Bread
- Calculate total THC in your cannabutter batch and divide by the exact number of bites you form for precise per-piece dosing.
- Keep each bite at 2.5-5 mg so guests can eat one or two and stay within a comfortable range.
- Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon measure to ensure every bite is the same size and therefore the same dose.
- Savory bites are snackable and easy to overeat. Set out a controlled number per person and store the rest.
- Spread the cannabutter mixture evenly across the entire bread surface and cut into equal portions before serving for consistent dosing.
