What is Cannabis Milk?
Cannabis milk is a beverage made by soaking and heating cannabis in milk. The cannabinoids such as THC and CBD found in the plant bind to the fat molecules in the milk. The result is a versatile drink that can be used in both sweet and savory recipes. Cannabis milk is not only easy to make, but also a treat that, when properly dosed, can have relaxing or even therapeutic effects.
Cannabis Milk effects
The effects of cannabis milk depend on the amount of cannabis used and the cannabinoids it contains. CBD-rich milk has calming and anti-inflammatory effects, while THC-containing varieties offer psychoactive effects.
Typical effects of cannabis milk:
- Relaxation: Ideal after a long day.
- Pain relief: Especially helpful for chronic pain.
- Improved sleep: Promotes restful sleep at night.
- Increased appetite: Can help with loss of appetite.
Since absorption occurs through the gastrointestinal tract, the effects set in slowly (30 minutes to 2 hours), but last longer than when inhaling cannabis.

Cannabis Milk Recipe: Creative Ways to Use It
Cannabis milk is incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes:
- Hot drinks: Add it to tea, coffee, or cocoa.
- Smoothies: A healthy and soothing addition.
- Desserts: Perfect for pudding, ice cream, or cake.
- Savory dishes: Ideal for soups and creamy sauces.
Fertilizing cannabis with milk: What's behind it?
In addition to being consumed, milk can also be used as a fertilizer for cannabis. This is due to the nutrients it contains, such as calcium and proteins, which can promote plant growth. However, it is important to use milk sparingly, as too much moisture or sugar can lead to mold growth.
Cannabis Milk Experiences: What Do Users Report?
Users appreciate cannabis milk for its gentle, long-lasting effects, especially for relaxation, pain relief, and as a natural sleep aid. Beginners emphasize the importance of careful dosing, since the effects are delayed (30 minutes to 2 hours) before they set in.
Dosage tips:
- Start with small amounts (e.g., 0.25–0.5 g cannabis per 500 ml milk).
- Wait for the effects before taking more.
- Increase slowly to find the ideal amount.
Experiences: Many report a gentle, long-lasting effect and use the milk on its own or in recipes—perfect for a relaxing evening.
