Weed Brownies: Simple Recipes, Safe Dosage & Handy Tips

Want a tasty way to enjoy cannabis without the hassle of vaping or edibles that taste like medicine? Weed brownies are the classic go‑to. They’re easy to bake, hide the herb flavor, and let you control how strong each bite is. Below you’ll find a straightforward recipe, a quick dosage calculator, and some common fixes for when things go off‑track.

Basic Weed Brownie Recipe (Starts in 20 Minutes)

Here’s a no‑fuss recipe that works with any brownie mix you like. It yields about 12 medium squares.

• 1 cup cannabutter (or infused oil) – see the quick guide below
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8‑inch pan. Melt the cannabutter, then whisk in sugar, eggs, water and vanilla. Stir in cocoa, flour and salt until just combined – don’t overmix. Pour into the pan and bake 20‑25 minutes, or until the top looks set and a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs. Let it cool, then cut into squares.

Quick Dosage Guide – How Much THC Is in Each Brownie?

First, know how many milligrams of THC are in your cannabutter. If you start with 1 gram of flower that’s 15% THC, you have roughly 150 mg THC total. Assuming 80% extraction efficiency, the butter holds about 120 mg.

Divide that number by the total brownies you cut. For 12 squares, each piece contains ~10 mg THC. If that feels strong, cut each square in half for a 5‑mg dose. Adjust the amount of butter or the number of cuts until you hit your comfort zone.

Tip: Write the dose on the bottom of the pan or on a sticky note. It saves headaches later.

**Safety first** – start with a low dose (5 mg) if you’re new, wait two hours, then decide if you need more. Effects from edibles take longer to show up than smoking, so patience is key.

Common Questions & Troubleshooting

Why are my brownies crumbly? Over‑mixing or using too much flour can dry them out. Keep the mix just combined and measure flour carefully.

Can I use oil instead of butter? Yes. Coconut oil works well and adds a mild flavor. Just keep the same THC content when you calculate dosage.

My brownies taste too “herby”? Try decarboxylating the flower longer (about 45 minutes at 240°F) and strain the butter through cheesecloth to remove plant material. The result is smoother flavor.

How do I store them? Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze individually wrapped pieces for a month. Thaw at room temperature before munching.

Now you’ve got a solid foundation for making weed brownies that taste great and deliver a predictable buzz. Play with mix‑ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or a swirl of peanut butter to keep things interesting. Remember, the key is to start low, go slow, and enjoy the sweet ride.
