The Difference Between Oil-Based and Butter-Based Cannabis Infusions

Oil-based and butter-based infusions both work because cannabinoids are fat-soluble and bind to fat during infusion. Butter suits baked goods and has a familiar flavor. Oils are more versatile across cooking temperatures and recipes, with coconut and MCT oil standing out as especially efficient carriers. The right choice depends on what you're making.
