National Donut Day
Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. While you could stick to a healthy serving of fruit or oatmeal, there is no breakfast or other meal that can compare to that of a donut in terms of satisfaction. Fortunately, today is National Donut Day and there’s no better time to indulge in a sweet treat—especially when its infused with cannabis! Here’s a few easy recipes on how to bake your own cannabis-infused donuts at home, and to top it off with a glass of infused milk or coffee creamer. If you’re new to edibles but want to indulge your sweet tooth, we recommend learning about microdosing before you binge on a baker’s dozen of fun.
