Ingredients for Healthy, Cannabis-Infused Thanksgiving Leftovers Wrap
- 1/4 cup turkey gravy
- A large handful of leftover turkey, shredded and chilled
- 1 1/2 cups leafy greens of your choice
- 1–2 tbsp of leftover stuffing, warmed
- 2 tbsp cranberry sauce
- 1 large whole-wheat tortilla
- 10–15 mg cannabis tincture of your choice. For tinctures rich in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a smaller amount (10 mg) may be preferable since it will impart psychoactive effects. If you’re using a cannabidiol (CBD) tincture, 15 mg should be a reasonable amount for all tolerance levels.
