f you’re looking to create a classic cannabis-infused treat, weed brownies are an excellent choice. They’re simple to make and delicious to enjoy (responsibly, of course). Below is a step-by-step guide to crafting the perfect weed brownies.

What You’ll Need

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter
• 1/4 to 1/2 ounce of cannabis (marijuana) (adjust based on your preferred potency)
• 1 cup of sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Tools and Equipment:

• A grinder (for breaking down your cannabis)
• Saucepan
• Strainer or cheesecloth
• Mixing bowl
• Whisk or hand mixer
• Baking dish
• Oven

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Decarboxylate Your Cannabis

To activate the THC in your cannabis, you’ll need to decarboxylate it.

1. Preheat your oven to 245°F (118°C).
2. Use your grinder to break up the cannabis into small pieces.
3. Spread the cannabis evenly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake for 30–40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even heating.

Step 2: Make Cannabutter

Cannabutter is the key ingredient for infusing weed into your brownies.

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
2. Add the decarboxylated cannabis to the melted butter.
3. Simmer on low heat for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
4. Strain the butter through a cheesecloth or a fine strainer to separate the cannabis plant material from the butter. Set the cannabutter aside to cool.

Step 3: Prepare Your Brownie Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. With your cannabutter, follow these steps:

• Mix the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
• Gradually add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Step 4: Bake the Brownies

1. Grease or line your baking dish and pour in the brownie batter evenly.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, they’re ready!
3. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely before cutting.

Step 5: Enjoy Responsibly

Cut the brownies into desired portions. Keep in mind that the dosage depends on how much cannabis you used and the number of servings. Start with a small piece and wait at least 1–2 hours to feel the effects before consuming more.

Important Notes:

• Know your dosage: Always be cautious with the amount of cannabis you use, especially if you’re new to edibles.
• Store carefully: Keep your brownies in an airtight container, out of reach of children or pets.
• Consume responsibly: Edibles can take longer to take effect but are typically stronger than smoking. Always pace yourself.

Now that you have the perfect recipe, you’re all set to bake weed brownies that are as potent as they are delicious! Bong appétit!
