Hot sauce is one of the best things on the planet. You can put hot sauce on almost anything to give it some heat, flavor, and zing! Many of us enjoy hot sauce so much that we can eat it almost every single day. And if you love weed too, guess what? You can make your very own weed-infused hot sauces from the comforts of your own home.
It’s so easy too!
Cannabis-infused hot sauce can be used on just about anything that you already enjoy hot sauce with. These can include pizza, pasta, tacos, eggs, chicken wings, or any other meal. The ingredients are so inexpensive, especially if you already grow your own peppers, tomatoes, or both. Even better, when you make your own hot sauce, you can customize it to exactly how you want in terms of both flavor and heat.
Before you get started, check out this recipe we have for cannabis-infused olive oil or cannabis-infused coconut oil, which you may need to make if you don’t have your own cannabis-infused cooking oils to use.

Basic Tomato-Based Cannabis Infused Hot Sauce Recipe
A basic tomato-based hot sauce recipe is a staple in every kitchen. It’s simple, easy to make, and has the best flavor that you can put on anything. For this recipe, you’ll need some equipment:
- Food processor or blender
- Knife
- Ladle
- Chopping board
- Medium sauce pan or soup pot
- Airtight bottle for storage
Ingredients:
- 3 large tomatoes
- 3-5 garlic cloves, depending on how much garlic flavor you want
- 1 small white onion
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 hot chilis of your choice (remove the seeds for a milder heat, and keep them for more spice)
- Cannabis-infused oil
Process:
- Rinse the fresh ingredients well. These include the tomatoes, peppers, and onions.
- Chop the tomatoes and onions into small quarters.
- Peel the garlic and leave them whole.
- Cut the chilis up into tiny pieces.
- Put the tomatoes, peppers, garlic cloves, and onions into the medium pot. Place just enough water to cover the ingredients.
- Boil the pot in medium heat. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat then allow the mixture to simmer for around 15 minutes. The tomatoes should be softened by then.
- Once the tomatoes are soft, scoop out the ingredients and put them into a food processor. Add the sugar, white vinegar, and a teaspoon of salt to taste.
- Add around a tablespoon of cannabis-infused oil.
- Blend everything together until the texture is homogenous and smooth. Add a few drops of water each time if it’s too thick.
- Use a clean teaspoon to taste the sauce, and see if it comes out to your desired taste. Season, add salt, sugar, or chopped up chilis if needed.
- Pour the hot sauce into an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least one hour before using.
Mango Hot Sauce
If you like flavors of the tropics, then mango hot sauce is for you. This hot sauce will transport you to the Caribbean, and it’s just as versatile as a basic tomato hot sauce. Use weed-infused mango hot sauce on pizzas, tacos, or buffalo wings to infuse a fruity punch to your food.

Equipment:
- Large skillet
- Food processor
- Airtight bottle
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe mangoes, sliced and peeled
- 4 habanero peppers, de-stemmed (you can keep some seeds if you want stronger heat, but you can remove them to make it less spicy)
- 1 medium white onion, chopped
- 1 large carrot, chopped
- 1 inch ginger thumb, grated (you can use a larger ginger if you enjoy its flavor)
- 6-8 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
- 3 cups white vinegar
- Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons of cannabis-infused coconut oil
- Vegetable oil
Process:
- Heat some vegetable oil on the skillet over medium heat.

New Mexico cannabis operator fined, loses license for alleged BioTrack fraud
New Mexico regulators fined a cannabis operator nearly $300,000 and revoked its license after the company allegedly created fake reports in the state’s traceability software.
The New Mexico Cannabis Control Division (CCD) accused marijuana manufacturer and retailer Golden Roots of 11 violations, according to Albuquerque Business First.
Golden Roots operates the The Cannabis Revolution Dispensary.
The majority of the violations are related to the Albuquerque company’s improper use of BioTrack, which has been New Mexico’s track-and-trace vendor since 2015.
The CCD alleges Golden Roots reported marijuana production only two months after it had received its vertically integrated license, according to Albuquerque Business First.
Because cannabis takes longer than two months to be cultivated, the CCD was suspicious of the report.
After inspecting the company’s premises, the CCD alleged Golden Roots reported cultivation, transportation and sales in BioTrack but wasn’t able to provide officers who inspected the site evidence that the operator was cultivating cannabis.
In April, the CCD revoked Golden Roots’ license and issued a $10,000 fine, according to the news outlet.
The company requested a hearing, which the regulator scheduled for Sept. 1.
At the hearing, the CCD testified that the company’s dried-cannabis weights in BioTrack were suspicious because they didn’t seem to accurately reflect how much weight marijuana loses as it dries.
Company employees also poorly accounted for why they were making adjustments in the system of up to 24 pounds of cannabis, making comments such as “bad” or “mistake” in the software, Albuquerque Business First reported.
Golden Roots was fined $298,972.05 – the amount regulators allege the company made selling products that weren’t properly accounted for in BioTrack.
The CCD has been cracking down on cannabis operators accused of selling products procured from out-of-state or not grown legally:
- Regulators alleged in August that Albuquerque dispensary Sawmill Sweet Leaf sold out-of-state products and didn’t have a license for extraction.
- Paradise Exotics Distro lost its license in July after regulators alleged the company sold products made in California.
Golden Roots was the first alleged rulebreaker in New Mexico to be asked to pay a large fine.

Marijuana companies suing US attorney general in federal prohibition challenge
Four marijuana companies, including a multistate operator, have filed a lawsuit against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in which they allege the federal MJ prohibition under the Controlled Substances Act is no longer constitutional.
According to the complaint, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, retailer Canna Provisions, Treevit delivery service CEO Gyasi Sellers, cultivator Wiseacre Farm and MSO Verano Holdings Corp. are all harmed by “the federal government’s unconstitutional ban on cultivating, manufacturing, distributing, or possessing intrastate marijuana.”
Verano is headquartered in Chicago but has operations in Massachusetts; the other three operators are based in Massachusetts.
The lawsuit seeks a ruling that the “Controlled Substances Act is unconstitutional as applied to the intrastate cultivation, manufacture, possession, and distribution of marijuana pursuant to state law.”
The companies want the case to go before the U.S. Supreme Court.
They hired prominent law firm Boies Schiller Flexner to represent them.
The New York-based firm’s principal is David Boies, whose former clients include Microsoft, former presidential candidate Al Gore and Elizabeth Holmes’ disgraced startup Theranos.
Similar challenges to the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA) have failed.
One such challenge led to a landmark Supreme Court decision in 2005.
In Gonzalez vs. Raich, the highest court in the United States ruled in a 6-3 decision that the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution gave Congress the power to outlaw marijuana federally, even though state laws allow the cultivation and sale of cannabis.
In the 18 years since that ruling, 23 states and the District of Columbia have legalized adult-use marijuana and the federal government has allowed a multibillion-dollar cannabis industry to thrive.
Since both Congress and the U.S. Department of Justice, currently headed by Garland, have declined to intervene in state-licensed marijuana markets, the key facts that led to the Supreme Court’s 2005 ruling “no longer apply,” Boies said in a statement Thursday.
“The Supreme Court has since made clear that the federal government lacks the authority to regulate purely intrastate commerce,” Boies said.
“Moreover, the facts on which those precedents are based are no longer true.”
Verano President Darren Weiss said in a statement the company is “prepared to bring this case all the way to the Supreme Court in order to align federal law with how Congress has acted for years.”
While the Biden administration’s push to reschedule marijuana would help solve marijuana operators’ federal tax woes, neither rescheduling nor modest Congressional reforms such as the SAFER Banking Act “solve the fundamental issue,” Weiss added.
“The application of the CSA to lawful state-run cannabis business is an unconstitutional overreach on state sovereignty that has led to decades of harm, failed businesses, lost jobs, and unsafe working conditions.”

Alabama to make another attempt Dec. 1 to award medical cannabis licenses
Alabama regulators are targeting Dec. 1 to award the first batch of medical cannabis business licenses after the agency’s first two attempts were scrapped because of scoring errors and litigation.
The first licenses will be awarded to individual cultivators, delivery providers, processors, dispensaries and state testing labs, according to the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC).
Then, on Dec. 12, the AMCC will award licenses for vertically integrated operations, a designation set primarily for multistate operators.
Licenses are expected to be handed out 28 days after they have been awarded, so MMJ production could begin in early January, according to the Alabama Daily News.
That means MMJ products could be available for patients around early March, an AMCC spokesperson told the media outlet.
Regulators initially awarded 21 business licenses in June, only to void them after applicants alleged inconsistencies with how the applications were scored.
Then, in August, the state awarded 24 different licenses – 19 went to June recipients – only to reverse themselves again and scratch those licenses after spurned applicants filed lawsuits.
A state judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by Chicago-based MSO Verano Holdings Corp., but another lawsuit is pending.
