Get your kitchen ready with these essentials for making pot brownies:
Accurate dosing is essential when making pot brownies. Start by calculating how much weed to use based on its potency and your personal tolerance. For example, 1 gram of cannabis with a 15% THC concentration contains approximately 150 mg of THC. If your recipe makes 12 brownies, each will have about 12.5 mg per brownie—a moderate starting point for many users.
Whether you’re making cannabutter brownies or following a recipe for marijuana brownies, it's always best to start with a lower dose. You can always adjust future batches once you find your ideal edible brownie potency.

Follow these detailed steps to master making weed brownies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking pan or line it with parchment paper. This step is vital in any edibles including pot brownies.
In a double boiler over low to medium heat (around 120–140°F), melt the dark chocolate with the butter or cannabutter, stirring continuously until smooth. If using a microwave, heat in 20-second bursts at 50% power, stirring after each interval to prevent burning. This careful melting process forms the foundation for infused brownies that are rich and fudgy.
In a large bowl, combine the melted chocolate mixture with sugar and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Then, gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
Pro Tip: Achieving a smooth, lump-free batter is crucial when making edible brownies. Mix gently but thoroughly to ensure even consistency.
Stir in your decarboxylated cannabis evenly. This step determines how potent your infused brownies will be, so ensure a uniform mix for consistent dosing in each piece.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes. To check if cooked, insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter), your brownies are perfectly fudgy. This method is the best way to make weed brownies using the flower, as it ensures even heat distribution without overcooking. Avoid overbaking, as this can dry out the brownies and potentially degrade some cannabinoids. Let them cool completely before slicing to acheive the best texture.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 equal pieces. This cooling step is important to allow the flavors to meld, resulting in a delightful batch of infused brownies.
If stored properly in an airtight container at room temperature, your brownies should remain fresh for up to one week. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, , but note that this may slightly alter their texture.. When using a Ziploc bag, make sure to minimize air exposure to maintain both taste and potency.
Congratulations—you've now baked a batch of rich, fudgy, perfectly infused weed brownies! Now comes the best part: taking that first delicious bite. Whether you're unwinding after a long day, sharing with friends, or indulging in a solo treat, these cannabis brownies deliver incredible flavor and a buzz that can either be relaxing or uplifting, depending on the strain used.
Take it slow—start with just one piece and give it time to kick in (usually 1–2 hours). Edible brownies hit differently than smoking, and patience ensures a great experience. Once you’ve found your ideal dose, feel free to experiment with different flavors, mix-ins, or even a scoop of ice cream on top.
Enjoy your home-baked edibles, and don't forget to share your baking triumphs with fellow cannabis lovers!
The amount depends on your desired potency. Generally, using 1–2 grams of decarboxylated cannabis for a 12-serving batch is a moderate starting point.
A quarter of a gram of cannabis can infuse approximately4–6 brownies, depending on your desired potency and strength of cannabis. Adjust the amount as needed to match your preferred dosage.
