Classic Cannabis Brownies

Weed brownies are a popular cannabis-infused treat for several reasons. Firstly, they are a discreet and convenient way to consume cannabis. Unlike smoking or vaporizing, eating cannabis-infused brownies does not produce any distinctive odors, making them a great option for those who want to consume cannabis in public or in a shared space. Secondly, the effects of cannabis-infused edibles can be more potent and longer lasting than other methods of consumption. This is because when cannabis is consumed orally, it is processed by the liver, which converts THC into a more potent form, called 11-hydroxy-THC. Finally, the combination of chocolate and cannabis creates a unique and enjoyable taste experience that is hard to match, it’s no wonder they are a classic and a favorite among cannabis enthusiasts.

Weed Brownies Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cannabis-infused oil or butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the cannabis-infused oil or butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top.

Fun Fact: The history of weed brownies can be traced back to the 1960s counterculture movement. They were a popular way for people to consume cannabis discreetly and were often made with low-quality, shake buds. Today, with the legalization of cannabis in many states, you can use high-quality buds or concentrates to infuse your brownies for a more enjoyable and potent experience.
