- Budora Team
If you’re looking to indulge in a sweet treat that packs a punch, you’ve come to the right place. Today, we’re exploring the delicious world of weed brownies. Brownies are a classic choice for a reason. They’re delicious, easy to make, and a great way to experience the relaxing effects of THC.
Today, I’m going to share my ultimate guide on how to make weed brownies with weeds. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the process step-by-step, from decarboxylating your weed to baking the perfect batch of brownies.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your cannabis journey, making your own infused brownies at home is not only fun but also surprisingly easy. Let’s get baking!
Key Takeaways
- Before baking, heat the cannabis to activate the THC, a crucial step to ensure your brownies have the desired effects.
- Use your decarbed weed to make infused butter or oil, which mixes smoothly into brownie batter for a consistent experience.
- Precise measurements are key; learn how much weed to use for balanced, enjoyable brownies without overwhelming potency.
- Stick to a straightforward brownie recipe to achieve moist, delicious brownies with a reliable taste and effect.
- Enhance your brownies with options like nuts, chocolate chips, or frosting, adding extra flavors and textures to your edible experience.
Understanding Cannabis Dosage
As a general guideline, aim for about 5-10 mg of THC per serving. This means if you’re making a batch of brownies with 12 pieces, you’ll want to calculate how much cannabis to use based on the potency of your strain. If your cannabis is 20% THC, for example, you’ll need about 5 grams to achieve a dose of approximately 10 mg of THC per brownie.
How to Calculate Potency
Here’s a quick formula to help you calculate the total THC in your batch:
- Total grams of cannabis used x THC percentage of the strain = Total THC.
- Divide the total THC by the number of servings to find the THC per brownie.
Example Calculation
- 5 grams of cannabis (20% THC) = 1000 mg THC total
- If you make 12 brownies, each brownie will have approximately 83 mg of THC.
If you’re using our cannabis products, you can easily find information on the potency to help you calculate the right amount for your needs.
Quick Tip: If you’re unsure, start small! You can always eat more later, but it’s tough to take it back once you’ve indulged.

Step-by-Step Recipe
Decarboxylation Process
First things first! We need to activate the THC in our cannabis. This process is known as decarboxylation.
- reheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).
- Break up your cannabis into small pieces and spread it evenly on a baking sheet.
- Bake for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cannabis should be light brown and fragrant. This step is crucial to ensure you get the full effects in your brownies!
Infusing the Butter
Once your cannabis is decarboxylated, it’s time to infuse the butter:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Add your decarboxylated cannabis to the melted butter, stirring well.
- Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will extract the cannabinoids from the cannabis into the butter.
Mix the Ingredients
Now that you have your cannabis-infused butter, let’s get mixing!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted cannabis butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar. Mix well until fully combined.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This step adds air to the batter, making the brownies light and fluffy.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined. If you’re a chocolate lover like me, now’s the time to add some 1/2 to 1 cup of chocolate chips for an extra gooey brownie!
Bake the Brownies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Now it’s time to pour the brownie batter into a greased baking pan.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Cut
Once your brownies are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting them into squares.
Store Your Brownies
To keep your weed brownies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should last about 5-7 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for up to 2 weeks or freeze them for up to 3 months.
