Weed brownies are also referred to as cannabis-infused brownies. Weed or cannabis is also known as marijuana. This plant is used as a drug for both recreational and medicinal purposes. Making edibles at home requires careful attention to detail to ensure the right dosage. In this article, we will walk you through the process of making weed brownies. Let’s start it!
How To Adjust The Potency Of Weed?
How much weed require is one the most important thing that requires great attention. We use ½ cup of butter and 1 gram of cannabis that are used to yield 16 brownies, each of which contains 10 to 12 milligrams of THC. Maybe some of you found this value high, so for edible newbies, use a smaller amount of cannabutter and cut brownies into smaller pieces so you consume 2 to 3 milligrams of THC. Increasing or decreasing the value of cannabis makes your cannabutter stronger or weaker. It is crucial to handle this process with great care.
Note: The exact potency can vary based on the cannabis strain and the infusion process used.

➤ How to Make Cannabutter for Weed Brownies
- Step one involves the decarboxylation of cannabis. This is a very crucial step, it activates the THC in cannabis. It is done by preheating your oven to 250°F. Break the herb into small pieces. Spread these small pieces of cannabis on a baking sheet. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Toss every 10 minutes to ensure even heating and to prevent it from burning. When the weed turns brownish-green it gives you an indication that the process of activation of TCH is completed. Once done remove the cannabis from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then use a grinder to grind it finely.
- Step two is an infusion of either oil or butter with decarboxylated cannabis. In a medium saucepan melt butter and add decarboxylated finely ground weed. Reduce heat to low. Start simmering for about 1. Stirring occasionally, do let this mixture to boil. Use an instant-read thermometer to measure the temperature and keep in mind the temperature of butter should exceed 190°F. When the time is up, remove the cannabutter from the heat. Strain the mixture from a cheesecloth or fine strainer to remove solid or plant-like material. Save this strained solid material for cannabis tea or discard it.

- Add cannabutter and chocolate in a double boiler or a saucepan, and heat them until the chocolate melts and both things mix. After that remove the mixture from heat and add salt, molasses, and vanilla.
