Weed brownies are a staple of weed culture. For many young people, it’s one of the ways they get into the cannabis world. Unfortunately, it’s easy to get the recipe wrong and end up undergoing it or overdoing it. The right tips will make all the difference, so this post is going to teach you how to make weed brownies with key tips on how to do it right so you get the best experience.
Key Tips For Making Your Own Weed Brownies
- Choose which fat or distillate you want to work with
To make brownies “special” you need to infuse them with cannabis. This doesn’t mean just throwing the flower in the batter, but rather infusing the butter or oil with cannabis. There are plenty of recipes online for how to do this and it’s pretty straightforward. You can make your brownies stronger by using THC distillate, cannabutter, or a mix of cannabis-infused fat and regular butter. We recommend THC distillate only for those who are already experienced since it’s more potent and will also give your brownies a stronger “weed” taste, for better or for worse.
- Define whether you want to cook from scratch or go for the box
Select a recipe that you like (or use ours below) and bake your brownies from scratch. This option is great if you have time on your hands, want control over ingredients, have gluten sensitivities, etc. You can also go for the box if you want an easy, beginner-friendly option that involves some DIY, but doesn’t get your hands too dirty.
- Bake and Eat With Caution
Bake your brownies according to the instructions using your cannabutter or infused oil of choice. Wait for them to cool and portion out. Once you’ve chosen how much you’d like to eat, wait 1-2 hours before eating more because the effects will continue to increase over time until you peak.
- Store leftovers with care
Once you’re ready to store your brownies (if you have any left) make sure you do it appropriately. Storing edibles will make or break their usability later so ensure you look for a good container, keep gummies, candies, and chocolate in a cabinet where it will stay cool or in a freezer if you want them to keep for longer.
