What to use?

Some people use stems, leaves, and other throwaways for edibles.  But, the better the stuff you start with, the better the product and results.  So go ahead and use some decent bud.

Oil vs. Butter

Lots of weed brownie recipes call for butter.  The problem is that butter burns at a lower temperature than oil.  You can make butter at a pretty low temperature if you want to try it, but it takes a long time on the stove to get a good extraction, so you risk burning the butter and ruining the taste of your recipe.  Also, butter is high in saturated fat, and the 420 lifestyle is all about health, right?  Right?

Oil is a lot more stable and easier to work with, so it’s a lot more idiot-proof than butter.  It can also be used in brownies, so especially if this is the first time you’re trying this, just go with the oil.  Use a vegetable oil like canola, safflower, etc.  They are very stable and easy to use.  Don’t use olive oil.

How much weed should I use?

“Season according to taste”, as recipes say.  The more weed and the less oil you use, the more concentrated your oil will be.  But don’t go crazy, because you can only extract so much.  After that, you’ll probably be leaving too many “nutrients” in your plant instead of the oil.  For starters, try about 5g (less than ¼ oz) per 1/3 cup of oil, and see how you like it.

To grind or not to grind:

Some people claim that there is no need to grind because the leaves will be strained out anyway.  But here’s the thing.  More of the plant will be exposed to the oil with a smaller grind.  So grind away.  Grind as small as you can without making a powder that is too small to strain through a fine-mesh sieve.

Now, let’s get to the recipe.  The first thing you need to do is make your oil.  Weigh out your weed and measure your oil.  Use as much oil as your recipe calls for.  Use a little extra, actually, because you will lose volume when you’re straining it.

Grind your weed to a coarse powder.  Add the oil to a skillet.  Put the skillet on the stove over medium-low.  Add the weed and stir.  Let the oil simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until it turns brown, stirring occasionally.  If the oil starts to spatter, turn down the heat.  If the oil is not changing color, turn the heat up a bit.

Use a fine-mesh sieve to strain it.  You can use the cone-shaped strainer kind, or buy a gold wire coffee filter.  Repeat until the plant is gone and you have the pure brown oil.  Don’t skip the straining part.  If you do the extraction correctly, leaving the plant bits in won’t add to your high, it will just make nasty brownies.

Weed Brownie Recipe

Now you are ready to cook. Any store-bought brownie mix is fine, using your pot oil.  Or you can use this recipe for homemade weed brownies:

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup pot oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ cup flour

Directions: Preheat the oven to 350.  In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and sugar.  Stir in cocoa powder and oil.  Mix thoroughly so the pot will be evenly distributed.  Stir in vanilla, salt, baking powder, and flour until evenly mixed.  Grease an 8” x 8” baking pan, and pour in the batter.  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Let cool slightly before cutting.

Don’t get impatient and eat another one after a few minutes.  It will take 30-40 minutes before it kicks in.  When you get the munchies, remember to eat something else instead of polishing off the rest of the brownies!  Bon appétit.  Share your epic weed brownie and the weed brownie recipe with your friends

Weed Brownie Recipe

Putting Weed in your Weed Brownie

First, make sure you grind up your marijuana.  Do not put it into a powder.  This will make it near impossible to remove the plant from your pot brownie recipe.  You’ll need to use a good pair of scissors in a bind, or just purchase a herb grinder at your local head shop.  Once ground – place it into warm canola oil (not much past 100 degrees F) that is in a small liquid pot.  Let your weed simmer for 15 minutes to 30 minutes – stirring every now and then.

Take the weed out of Your Marijuana Brownie

I can’t stress this enough people.  You must take the weed out of the oil.  Do not leave any remnants of plant in the oil.  You will taste it.  It will be overpowering and kill the editable taste of the chocolate brownie.  You’ll be forced to choke down your brownie to get high.  This is not a very pleasant way to enjoy your marijuana brownie.  The point is – run your oil though a very fine strainer to remove everything.  You should consider doing it again after that though cheese cloth.

Now that you’ve got some clean looking oil, you could repeat the above steps.  Putting it back on the burner and adding more weed.  The ready-made marijuana brownie recipes will call for enough oil to cover your weed in a very small oil pot.  So unless you’re a real head – you wont need to.  But know that you can feed your marijuana addiction in your brownies, and never die.  So why not add that extra ¼ ounce of weed?

Weed Brownie Recipe

Now just add the oil to the recipe and finish up your creation.  Your brownies should come out of the oven – brown.  They should look and smell just like a regular brownie.  If they are green and stink of skunk – you didn’t take the weed out of your new weed brownie recipe.

All that is left to do now is split them up in slices and share the marijuana love with all your friends.  You can now impress your friends with your new cooking skill and you don’t have to improvise a great weed brownie recipe to accommodate cannabutter.  The thing about cannabutter is it is in cooking for taste.  Although the Marijuana plant smells wonderful when burned; it tastes pretty bad when eaten.

Weed Brownie Recipe

You don’t have to use your best marijuana to make your best marijuana brownie.  You’ll want the best ingredients such as chocolate, and flower for the actual recipe.  But you can get very precious THC out of the shwagest plant on earth – and if you harvest enough THC from the shwag – you’ll end up with the kindest brownies on the block.

Vaporizing Marijuana

If you know someone who chooses to vaporize their marijuana rather then smoking it –you’ll find their spent weed is your gold mine for THC.  When vaporizing weed – the user is only taking the “skimming the cream from the top” of the plant.  There is a gold mine of THC that is not evaporated and is suspended in their spent weed.  If they are throwing it away – it’s worth asking for it.

Vaped weed is already well ground.   You don’t have to remove your stems or seeds from your mixture.  Leave them in and you’ll extract from that which you cannot smoke.  The whole plant is abundant source of THC, but there are only a few pleasant ways to using it.  Just make sure your choice of marijuana is well ground.  This will  insure your marijuana brownie will have all the THC you can harvest.

Remove the Plant

The marijuana plant smells awesome!  The marijuana plant does not taste good.  You should not leave the plant in the oil or butter.  You should strain your vehicle (cannaoil or cannabutter) before adding it to your recipe.  Once may not be enough.  You should strain it until your vehicle is its’ original color with no plant matter in it – at all.  Insuring you remove all plant matter will also make your final product taste nothing like marijuana.   If your marijuana brownies are not brown, you missed this very important key.

Use oil – not butter

The easiest way to extract the THC from marijuana is using oil.  Most articles refer to cannabutter as the best way.  It is not for first timers.

1. Butter is easy to burn
2. Butter usually has more in it then butter.  These must be removed.
3. Most in-the-box recipes call for oil not butter.
4. Butter will “keep” in the fridge, but oil will “keep” longer.
5. Butter is for taste, oil aids in cooking.

Keep your oil/marijuana mixture on heat for at least 10 minutes.  You can leave it on as long as you want.  But it is critical that you keep the temperature around 100 F.  It really doesn’t take that much heat to get the THC to make the jump from the plant to the oil.  And if you burn your mixture – you’ll taste it in the brownie.

Weed Brownie Recipe

Most weed brownie recipes call for ¼ to ½ ounce of kind weed.  You’ll need to adjust this to match the potency of your ingredients, and the head of the connoisseur.   A true head will prefer their brownies with ½ to ¾ ounce of weed.  If you use vape weed – you should use about the same weight as what recipes call for.  You’ll find your high from vape weed heavy, and couch-lock.  Using the shwag you might use a whole ounce, changing out and adding new mixture to your oil every 30 minutes.

Marijuana Addiction

When it comes to addiction chocolate brownies are very addictive.  It funny how brownies can calm very nerves women down.  What will the added benefit of marijuana do to that addiction?  You’ve heard the news go back and forth with: is chocolate good, is chocolate bad.  Who cares what they think!  Listen to yourself – if you crave it – there is good reason your body is asking for it.  Indulge.  Marijuana addiction is only as real as chocolate addiction.

Marijuana Brownie Guts

I’m not going to recite a how-to on weed brownie recipes, but I’ll cut right to the chase and tell you how to convert your marijuana into an editable cannabutter, or other editable substance.  Marijuana plant material isn’t very editable; it tastes nothing like salad or other leafy editable, so the key to making marijuana brownies is to not bring any physical plant matter into your pot brownie.  If the marijuana brownie Guts are green, better run because someone ignored the this rule, and they will taste nasty.

Pot Brownie Recipe

Preparing the butter for cannabutter is necessary.  When heating up butter the salt and cream will separate, giving you pure butter.  When choosing your butter at the store – get as close to pure as possible; this will save you time in preparation.  If you butter is filled with excess crap, just scrape it off the top before adding your marijuana.

Most recipes wont call for butter.  They will call for cooking oil or canola oil, which will work equally, if not better, then butter.  Making a rich marijana cooking oil is easier because there is no preparation work, it’s easier to keep, and hard to burn.  You can find lots of ways to use this, and only a few ways to use the butter.  Since oil is not used for tastes, your weed brownies will have less marijana taste.

Marijuana Plant Addition

Making cannabutter is quite simple after you’ve done your homework.  Butter melts and a very low temperature.  And THC makes the jump from the plant to the fat of butter at a very low temperature.  So you don’t have to crank up the heat on the stove to accomplish the jump.  You can burn butter for your marijana very easily; so do keep an eye on things.  Add your weed and allow it time to make the jump.  The more time you simmer, the more THC will jump.

So lets show you how to make cannaoil.  Put your oil into a small pot – add marijana.  The longer you let it simmer, the more THC will jump.  You don’t have to worry as much about the temperature of this mixture as you do the butter.  Oil is very hard to burn.  This stuff is bomb because you can use it in many more marijuana brownie recipes then butter.  It’s also much faster and easier to store for later use.  If you’re creative enough, you can take the oil and put it in a pill for cannapills.

Marijuana Plant Removal

Once done, run your cannabutter or your cannaoil though a cheesecloth strainer.  Do it a few times to get out all the plant matter that you can.  The less that plant is in your marijuana brownies the better.  If you don’t grind up your marijuana into crumbs, it should be relatively easy to get out.  The marijuana should look brown in color, and to the pothead eye – spent.

Munchies

Now add your marijuana infused love not only to your brownie mix, but lets cook all things with this stuff.  The very key to making the worlds best marijuana brownies is to make sure you remove as much plant material as possible.  Let the oil or butter simmer for at least 15 minutes – but the longer the better.  Get to the heart of your marijuana addiction; use your best brownie recipe to make the best marijuana brownies in town.  Impress your friends.

Weed Brownie Recipe

These days, the process for making weed brownies is a tad more sophisticated. It is a several step process that can be somewhat time consuming but much more effective compared to the standards of yesteryear. There are a couple of different methods to use depending upon personal preference. They can be made by scratch, using weed infused butter, or store bought brownie mixes can be used. Most store bought brownie mixes will require the use of vegetable oil. As extracting the THC from the plant material can only be done in fats, oils or alcohol, butter and vegetable oil are the most commonly used ingredients for making weed infused brownies.

When butter is used to make weed brownies, the butter is best if it’s clarified. The process of clarifying butter can be lengthy, but the end result is definitely more desirable. Regular butter contains milk fats that do not absorb the resin from the plant when processed. Instead, the resin clings to the milk fat, creating a guacamole colored product. When stored and refrigerated, it has a ruddy texture and does not look or smell very appetizing. Clarifying the butter gives a much more aesthetic, appetizing ingredient to work with. It’s very simple to do, just a little time consuming. You will want to use real, unsalted butter for this process. Depending on your recipe, it’s best to use one pound of real butter to around one ounce of plant material. This will vary as well. Use more for a stronger brownie, less for a more mellow dessert.

Keep in mind when clarifying butter, that a lower temperature is better. It allows the milk fat to separate evenly without scorching. Lower temperatures will also result in less splash back as the butter simmers. Even tho a low temperature is being used, butter has a low boiling point so you don’t want to burn yourself. As the butter melt, it will separate into 3 layers. Milk solids on the top, a layer of water in the middle and the animal fat on the bottom. The bottom layer is what you want to use to infuse your butter. Separate the milk solids from the fat and water using a cheesecloth into a bowl or measuring cup, depending on how much you are making.

If you are using a vegetable oil recipe, you then only have to infuse the oil with the THC from the weed. This is a very simple and less complicated process. About 1/2 cup of oil to each 1/4 ounce of dried, ground up plant material. Again, the amount you use will be personal preference. Use more for stronger weed brownies, and less for a more mellow effect. Keep in mind that in using both methods, you do not want the temperature of the oils to rise above 250 degrees. As the baking process will be at about 350 degrees, and the resin in your new ingredient will vaporize at 375 degrees, you want to keep your infusion temperature between 175 and 250 degrees.

Once you have your newly infused ingredient, add them into your brownie mix and bake as usual. Once baked and cooled, you will have a delicious fun dessert to enjoy on your own or to share with your friends. The end result will not be the almost instant head high you get when you smoke your weed normally. This method will give your whole body something to enjoy for hours. Keep in mind that everyone’s metabolism is different. The effect can take 30 minutes to an hour in most people. As everyone metabolizes ingested foods differently, you may not feel anything at all. But if you do, be ready to pop in that favorite DVD and let your body enjoy your newly baked goodness.

Weed Brownie Recipe

Most people do the tried and true.  They get their hands on the kindest bud they can find.  The hardest part is to chop up the buds into a fine grain and dump it (eeek!  I could of smoke that!)  into some hot butter – never to be smoked again.  That’s ok – if you simmer the butter, not burn it.  The THC will jump right off that bud and into the butter – ready for your body to indigest.

A box of Betty Crocker – the brownie recipe is not calling for butter.  Now what?  Well they do call for cooking oil.  I know that most sites on the Internet will tell you not to use oil when transferring THC.  I’ve found this to be untrue.  Simmer your weed in oil for a while and now your ready.

I have had some amateur brownies before, were they dump the weed and don’t take it out before cooking the brownies.  Listen up amateurs!  You must take the weed out of the butter or oil when you’re done transferring yumminess into the fat.  If you don’t your brownies will taste more like grass, and have a finely cut salad texture to it?  Just strain the weed out of your “magic bus”.  It pays to do some reading before doing.

Fine bud – check.  Well – you don’t have to use fine bud in order to cook.  In reality – all of the sugar leaf clippings that your taking off your plants and throwing away can make an amazing pain free brownie ride.

Ok – so you can use things you wouldn’t stick in your pipe and smoke it.  What about things that I already smoked?  Now that’s just silly… or is it?  Now don’t go around saying you made some killer brownies from the bong water that’s been collecting amazing bud for the last month.  However, you can use vaped weed to make up a killer batch of kind brownies.

Vaped weed is used weed that has been though the Vaporizer.  My favorite by far is the Volcano Vaporizer.  I suggest picking one up for a kind high.  But, back to point, after you take the cream off the leaf with your vape.  There are still plenty of stubborn trichomes still refusing to jump the mother plant.  I take the cream off the top and I’ll collect my vaped weed into a jar, and hand it over to a good cook for further processing.

The last time I ate some magic brownies that was made from vape weed – I got paranoid high.  Wow.  Even cutting back to only eating a half brownie gave me a new sense of perception.

Knowing that you can use several different kinds of weed in your next brownie recipe might ease the strain on you when you chop up ultra kind bud.  Just use other weed for your brownies – and keep the kind for Vaporizing or Smoking – what ever your preference.
