Why won't these brownies work?

Discussion in 'Experienced Cannabis Enthusiasts' started by Opal, Jul 1, 2005.

  1. I tried to make some brownies over the weekend, but it didn't work, lol. I bought an ounce of some dank and put about 5 grams of it into some melted butter for about 35 minutes. Then I proceeded to cook the butter into the browny mix etc. Well.. they tasted great, but didn't do anything high wise. Any thoughts on what im doing wrong? I heard all you needed was an 8th.
     
  2. what a waste of 5 grams, smoke me :)
     
  3. What do you mean put 'it into butter for 35 minutes?
     
  4. I've never personally made brownies but i know you need more than an 1/8th.
     

  5. Probably melted butter, with the weed, over heat for the 35, then added that mixture to the brownie mix.
    Ive done that before, though, 35 is a long time, then to cook the brownies what, another 20 min? --its too long. you probably cooked the thc too long. Ive done this before too. Keep the cooking time shorter. Id say a total of 20 minutes all together. if you want to use this method again, keep the butter on a medium to low heat, not for long. keep your eye on it, you can see it actually cooking. bake brownies as usual. you may not even have to prep the butter at all.
    We make cookies, with the pre made batter. we just add the fine chopped grass to the mixture, if its good enough weed, then the 12 minute baking time i th e oven is plently enough.
    its all about finding the right recipes :)
    good luck next time.
    oh, and 5 grams may not be enough, if you use that whole box of mix. I used probably about 3 grams per 4 cookies.
     
  6. well, just for your information, most pepole use upwards of an ounce in thier batch of brownies...5 grams was, most likely, too little an amount to use. Try it again sometime, this time with about 20-25 grams...also i would recommend using mids or shwagg...just because its more cost effecient
     
  7. yeah, dont get a little amount of dank...it wont do anything. you will need a shit load of weed, 5 g for a whole batch is nothing, especially because its hard to control the distribution of the weed. so get a lot, the only bad thing that can happen is that some brownies will be stronger than others, which i, myself, dont even see as a problem.
     
  8. Just buy a 1/2 of schwag and put that into the butter, schwag works just as well as dank for making brownies.
     
  9. do a search on here for cannabutter or brownies im sure there are a few recipes on here that have been tried and work. if youre trying to cook with weed, its probably not best to just guess how much time and heat it takes.
     
  10. Ah, ok. When I do get around to baking a good batch, is one enough to eat? Or.. how does that usually go? I've heard brownies are more potent than just smoking.
     
  11. depends on how much bud is in the batch. say you make a batch of 12 brownies, and you cut 12 brownies, then there should be an average of 1 g per brownies, even though it always varies. i have had brownies that have like a little over a gram and i was incredibly stoned for like 5 hours.
     
  12. Yeah--its a different stone for sure. more of a body stone. more of a dont operate heavy machinery---seriously, stone. and expect drooling. lots of drooling.
     
  13. yea man don't use dank for brownies, dank is for smoking, shwag is your best bet with brownies
     
  14. damn what a waste of 5g's i would deff rolled a blunt with that 5g's of danks and then smoked bowls with whats left over... for sure use shwag on the next batch especially if uve never done it before.
     
  15. you definately burned all the thc away. that mixed with not enough weed in the first place, if it was an entire thing of brownie mix.



    next time try a bit more, maybe half the recipe, and keep the butter on VERY low, and once melted, dont leave the weed in it for more than 10 minutes.
     
  16. my last batch, i used 3g's of dank, and 1/4 of vaporized bud

    worked great, 1 maybe 3x3 brownie, and i was high for 10+ hours

    make sure u make the cannabutter on a very low setting

    i use a little magic stove flame thing(picked it up at k mart for under $4), and make it outside so i don't reek up the house
     
  17. It takes much longer to make canabutter, but you can use less weed to make a small batch of it and use the canabutter in your brownie recipe. From my eating experience this is the best way to make mj brownies.
