Best Edible Marijuana Recipes

Why would somebody want to make marijuana edibles, you might ask? The answer is simple: cooking with weed butter. Let’s discuss the process of how to do it.

Positive Effects of Edible Marijuana

• Medical marijuana edibles recipes don’t require any prior cooking knowledge.
• After you learn how to cook with cannabis, you will have a healthier way to consume weed than smoking it.
• Smoking THC doesn’t provide the same dangers as smoking cigarettes does, plus it’s more relaxing and lasts longer than smoked marijuana typically does.
• You can make all sorts of delightful dishes by cooking with marijuana butter, from pot cookies to bud brownies and hash candy. Not to mention, these edibles provide the medical benefits of marijuana- like pain relief or aid in cancer treatment.
• Some people like to cook with weed butter, which is usually legal in places where smoking weed is still illegal.
• Edible marijuana has different effects than smoked marijuana, including a slower onset of the effects, stronger and longer-lasting effects.

While it is true that cooking your weed provides a longer and stronger experience than smoking marijuana, there are some drawbacks. The most apparent one is that you don’t get as high from consuming pot edibles as you do from smoking marijuana. The second downside is that dosing is harder to control with edibles–you can more easily overdose on them, which while not physically dangerous, can be quite frightening. And lastly, it takes around an hour to feel the effects of eating weed-infused foods or drinks.

By following these easy steps, you’ll be able to make a great weed bake that you’re sure to enjoy.

Step #1 Decarboxylate

The first step in any weed bake is to choose a high-quality strain of weed, then make it super-strong by decarboxylating it, which is a fancy word that means to bake it on a baking sheet at 240 degrees for 25 mins to an hour, depending on how much weed you’re using for making edibles. This will concentrate the bud and convert more of the cannabinoids to the potent THC that you want.

Strains: Indicas to Meditate, Sativas to Stimulate

The effects of each cannabis strain are different, so it’s important to think about what you want before choosing one. Indicas typically provide deep relaxation, while sativas tend to be more stimulating. If you’re looking to treat anxiety and pain, an indica might be a good choice. But if you want to address fatigue, a sativa could be better. There are many strains in both of these basic categories—each with its own unique smell—and vendors usually have different options available. You want a potent and deep aroma from the strain you choose. You may have to test different strains for THC edibles and ask other users and vendors what effects each give to find the strains that are right for you.

Step #2 Cooking with Cannabis Butter

Why is cannabutter such an important ingredient for weed baking? Well, it’s not just because of the great taste. It’s also very easy to make!

Here’s what you need to make basic cannabutter.

Ingredients:

• A cup or less of water
• 1 lb. of butter, unsalted
• 1 oz. of high quality lightly ground weed bud or trim

The simplest way is to mix your decarboxylated weed and butter with a little water in a pot, making sure the butter doesn’t burn. Then, heat on low for 3-6 hours; as long as the butter doesn’t burn, the cannabinoids will continue to accumulate.

Some people prefer heating in a crockpot for six hours. Then, after it has cooled down enough to handle, you should strain out the plant material and discard it (the THC is now inside the butter!). Next, put it in the fridge overnight for it to harden. Finally, remove the hardened butter from the residual water and you have your main ingredient: cannabutter that is infused with powerful cannabinoids.

Step #3 Bake or Make with your Cannabutter or Canna Oil

Not only does cannabutter or canna-oil have a great taste, but it also has amazing medicinal effects in baked goods, cakes, brownies, candies and syrups. To infuse your edibles with potent medicine, simply follow the recipe as usual but replace the oil with cannabutter.

We will give you right here, the basic steps for making simple, but tasty and powerful marijuana edibles.

Basic Bud Brownies

Weed brownies are not only a fan favorite, but they’re also uncomplicated to make. In fact, we have given you two formulas for creating weed brownies on our website–including an easy gourmet recipe and an even simpler recipe for those who don’t cook. So whether you love being in the kitchen or not, there’s no excuse not totry making these delectable snacks! If you want to make pot brownies from scratch using your decarboxylated cannabutter, mix it with eggs, water, pecans. Then bake in a greased baking pan for 30 mins. For an easier approach using store-bought brownie mix: simply stir in the cannabutter and cook for 30 minutes. These eggless, nut-free brownies will last longer because they’re more resistant to spoilage.

Pot Cookies

Dosing for Weed Cookies

An easy way to monitor your weed dosage is by making cannabutter cookies and sharing them with friends. For example, if you use an ounce of weed in your cannabutter recipe (which is equivalent to 28 grams), then each cookie would be the same as smoking a large bowl. If you’re using a very potent strain, consider making 56 small cookies instead, or advising your guests to break the cookies in half and have just a small piece every two hours.

It’s easy to make these cookies. Get a store-bought cookie mix and use your weed butter instead of oil or regular butter like the recipe asks for.

If you are making cookies from scratch, you will need these ingredients:

Ingredients:

• Chocolate chips, two cups
• All-purpose flower, two cups
• Sugar, half a cup
• Brown sugar, half a cup
• Baking soda, a teaspoon
• Salt, teaspoon
• Vanilla extract, a teaspoon
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup of cannabutter
• Water

Before you begin, preheat your oven to 370 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together the cannabutter and vanilla extract. Add sugar and stir. Use another bowl to mix together flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir in eggs, brown sugar, chips, and other ingredients until everything is mixed well enough that water creates a semi-solid consistency when added slowly (stirring as you pour). Now add the cannabutter mixture from before and size your cookies according to how much weed you used in proportion with the rest of the batter – this will ensure each cookie has an even amount of THC/CBD throughout it. For the best results, use a half ounce to make at least 14 cookies. Keep in mind that each cookie is equivalent to one large bowl of smoked marijuana. Also, remember that effects usually take an hour or more to kick in. So don’t eat too many cookies at once—enjoy just one (or a half) for an amazing experience!

Cannabis Candies

Ingredients:

• Light corn syrup, ¾ cup
• Cup of water
• Powdered sugar, 1/8 cup
• 2 cups of sugar
• Hash oil, (canna oil)
• A teaspoon of peppermint flavoring
• Green food coloring, 2 drops

Equipment:

• Saucepan
• Scissors
• thermometer
• pan, greased with cannabutter
• Weeds or star candy molds
• Lollipop sticks
• Baking dish

Before beginning, make sure you have all the required tools and ingredients at your disposal. Time is of the essence when making candy. Add water, corn syrup, and sugar to your saucepan; cook on high until the sugar has dissolved. Next, lower heat to medium for 15 minutes then check temperature with a thermometer until it reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Finally, remove from heat; add green food coloring drops, canna oil, and peppermint flavoring extract. Scoop your liquid into the pan and let it cool until it is semi-hard. Then, use molds or scissors to cut it into your desired shape. If you followed the earlier step with a half ounce of weed, now would be 14 or 28 pieces the size of a jolly rancher. Next, add these pieces into the pan that already has cannabutter or oil in it so they can get greasy. Afterwards, take a baking dish and cover its surface with powdered sugar entirely . Now pick up each candy piece , one by one ,and roll them around until every side is coated with powder sugar. Then, put the lollipop sticks in and let your candy set. Now you have weed lollipops with accurate doses. Every lollipop is like a bowl of smoked weed. Use this basic recipe to amaze your friends, and enjoy the benefits of marijuana without smoking–and without having to eat cookies or brownies. Even though it has sugar, you’ll probably end up consuming fewer calories overall with candies than if you ate baked goods.”

The weed lollipop offers the same benefits as baked weed, but it kicks in more slowly over the course of an hour or two. And its effects last even longer. Another advantage: Since it takes a while for the lollipop to dissolve, you may be able to have one every hour or so. The amount of time it takes to fully consume the lollipop will protect against accidental overdosing, unless you opt to chew the lollipop instead of sucking on it. To enjoy the weed lollipop, suck on it for at least one hour before having another; you should start feeling the effects within the next hour.

Weed lollipops can be a great alternative for children with a marijuana prescription for seizures, and older persons with weed prescriptions who may not want to eat baked goods which could damage their teeth, gums, or dentures.

Did you know that edibles are one of the best and most delicious ways to receive all of the medical benefits from marijuana, without inhaling any harmful smoke?
