How to Make Weed Brownies: A Beginner's Guide
Who doesn’t love a classic weed brownie? Whether you’re new to edibles or a seasoned pro, making your own at home is easier than you think. In this guide, we’ll walk you though the process step by step–from decrying your weed to baking the perfect batch.
Step 1: Decarboxylation – The Key to Potent Brownies
Before you bake, you need to activate the THC in your weed through decarboxylation.
How to decarb your weed:
- Preheat your oven to 220-240 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Break your cannabis into small pieces and spread it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.
- Your weed should turn light golden brown and be slightly dry and crumbly.
Step 2: Making Cannabutter or Cannabis Oil
Once your weed is decarbed, you need to infuse it into fat (butter or oil) so your body can absorb the THC.
Cannabutter Recipe:
- Melt 1 cup of butter in a saucepan on low heat.
- Add a half ounce to 1 ounce of decarbed weed and let it simmer on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Strain through a cheesecloth into a container, discarding the plant material.
Step 3: Baking Your Brownies
You can use a store-bought brownie mix or make them from scratch.
Ingredients:
- 1 box of brownie mix (or your favorite homemade recipe).
- Cannabutter (replace regular butter with your infused butter).
- Eggs & water (as required by the mix.
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix the brownie ingredients.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes (or according to the box instructions).
- Let them cool before cutting into squares.
Step 4: Dosing Your Edibles
Start low and go slow! Edibles take 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in. If unsure about potency, eat half of a brownie first, wait, and assess before eating more.
Final Tips & Variations
- Add chocolate chips, nuts, or a swirl of caramel for extra flavor.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temp for a few days or freeze for longer storage.
- Try making vegan weed brownies by using coconut oil instead of butter.
