Updated: 5 days ago

If you’ve ever wondered how to make delicious, potent pot brownies, you’re in the right place! Washington DC’s vibrant cannabis culture, supported by recent weed legalization in DC, has made it easier than ever for residents to explore the world of edible cannabis. For a memorable homemade edible experience, this guide will walk you through creating perfectly dosed pot brownies, including essential tips, DC Leafly product recommendations, and a few must-know facts to answer all your questions about making cannabis brownies safely and effectively.

How

Pot Brownies

Work?

Pot brownies are a classic edible, known for their potency and long-lasting effects. Unlike smoking or vaping, which introduces THC directly into the bloodstream, edibles like pot brownies are processed by the liver, resulting in a more intense and prolonged high. It’s important to measure ingredients carefully to ensure your brownies are both enjoyable and safe.

What You’ll Need?

To make pot brownies, you’ll need the following items:

Ingredients

  • Cannabis (recommendations include DC Leafly’s DC High Potency Flower)

  • 1 cup butter

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Optional: 1/2 tsp salt

Tools

  • Baking pan (8x8 inches recommended)

  • Mixing bowls

  • Stirring spoon

  • Double boiler (to infuse cannabis butter)

Note: Using a high-quality cannabis flower like DC Leafly’s Indica Blend can create a relaxing, body-focused experience.

Choosing the Right Cannabis Product

Washington DC pot dispensaries like DC Leafly offer a variety of cannabis products, from flowers to concentrates. For brownies, cannabis flower is ideal as it allows for easy dosing and customization of THC content. DC Leafly’s Hybrid Flower offers balanced effects, perfect for beginners and experienced users alike.

Step-by-Step Recipe for Pot Brownies

Step 1: Decarboxylate the Cannabis

To activate the THC, decarboxylate your cannabis:

  1. Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).

  2. Grind your cannabis coarsely and spread it evenly on a baking sheet.

  3. Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2: Make Cannabis Butter

Creating cannabutter is essential for binding THC to the brownies.

  1. In a double boiler, melt 1 cup of butter.

  2. Add the decarboxylated cannabis and let it simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours.

  3. Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth, reserving the butter and discarding the plant material.

Step 3: Mix Ingredients

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, eggs, vanilla, and cannabutter.

  3. Slowly add cocoa powder, flour, and salt, stirring until smooth.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 baking pan.

  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking for a soft, chewy texture.

Understanding Dosing

Edible dosing can be challenging. It’s recommended to start with 5-10 mg of THC per serving and gradually increase if needed. DC Leafly’s Pre-Roll 10-Pack or Edible Options can help gauge tolerance levels for a safer baking experience. Remember, effects may take 1-2 hours to onset, so patience is key!
