Leafly staffers Ben Adlin and Will Hyde hit the kitchen to whip up some quick and easy snacks that incorporate a new product, Pearl2O—a cannabis-infused water available in Washington state. The pair whips up some infused guacamole, Mexican-style corn dip, and a batch of mock margaritas that substitute Pearl2O for tequila.

There you have it! Three fantastic cannabis-infused recipes, all with almost no real cooking involved.
*Note: The amount of cannabis product specified in this recipe is a very loose suggestion; the actual amount you use should be modified based on the strength of your cannabis product and the potency you desire. Dosing homemade edibles can be tricky (click here to learn why), so the best way to test for potency is to start with one portion of a serving, wait one to two hours, then make an informed decision on whether to consume more. Always dose carefully and listen to your body, and never drive under the influence of cannabis.
