Dosing Tips for Your Infused Caprese Skewers
- Design each finger food piece to contain exactly one dose of 5-10 mg for straightforward consumption tracking.
- Wrap, stuff, or encase the cannabis element inside the finger food so the THC is sealed in and evenly distributed.
- Provide a tray card listing ingredients, allergens, and the exact THC dose per piece for responsible serving.
- Finger foods are often eaten quickly in social settings. Remind guests that effects take 60-90 minutes before eating more.
- Measure the cannabis olive oil carefully and drizzle evenly across all skewers; divide the total oil by the number of skewers for per-piece dosing.
Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Applying cannabis_oil as an external glaze that rubs off on hands and napkins, reducing the actual consumed dose.
- Cooking finger foods at temperatures above No cooking required to crisp the exterior, which can degrade THC on exposed surfaces.
- Forgetting to account for guests with dietary restrictions when choosing the finger food format.
