Chef Brandon Allen is no stranger to culinary cannabis and the science of edibles. As a partner at the Trichome Institute and creator of the Cooking with Cannabis course offered there, he’s been working with the plant for long enough to understand the difference between science and myth. In this episode we debunk several common myths regarding cannabis edibles as well as the best methods to decarb and infuse as per the latest science!
