Brownies for Beginners ... done right in a couple of hours

Also, a few other questions after reading your guide: Does the flavor/potency of the oil change when strain it?

I would assume that straining the bud material would lead to less of a "plant" taste, which might improve the flavor of the brownies. However, it might also be accompanied by a reduction in potency, which would be shameful. I'd rather eat weed-flavored brownies at full potency than slightly better-tasting, but weaker ones. I can stomach the weed taste for about 3 bites if I chug something with it, and I think I can get a brownie down in that amount of time :-)

Note: When I chug, it's usually milk if it's weed-related. Gives in some fat in the stomach, which, at the very least, won't hurt your high. Some say having something small with a high fat content just before eating weed improves the high, but I'd rather go for the more conservative "least harm" way of looking at it. Something with fat means that the THC has a secondary medium to help get it into your bloodstream, whereas something like water or a protein drink mgiht just dilute it.


And my other question, regarding flavor, is this: What type of brownie mix do you think makes for the least-bad-tasting product? Would you suggest that I go for a larger or smaller chocolate content? I'd assume blondies would be out, simply because the flavor would NEVER cover up weed, so I was thinking perhaps a very rich chocolate mix would help the flavor out some.


Forgive me for my rambles, but I am high and must attempt this brownie-thing fairly soon (next few days). :jointsmile:

Haven't tried it before on a side-by-side basis. Possible but not highly likely.

When in doubt leave the herb in the recipe as long as it is a strongly flavored mix like Double Chocolate, etc.

My favorite is Duncan Hines Double Fudge. I then pick up a jar of Dark Chocolate frosting and they are good tasting treats.

As long as you are high there are no apologies needed... :stoned:
Check out my Cranberry Oatmeal cookies too. They are delicious AND potent.

Darn. I went to rep you and it wouldn't let me! Oh, well, will just have to rep you again at some other point.

Cranberry Oatmeal cookies? My god, man, you're trying to kill me with the awesome foods, aren't you?

"As long as you are high, there are no apologies needed." <--- Great Pot Motto. Same thing I said to my roommate after the first time she introduced me to Mary Jane.

Thanks for all the great answers, very very helpful. If I end up trying it before I leave for my hometown on Saturday (must get more bud first, pray it happens [if you pray]!), I will definitely drop by as soon as I'm back to comment on it. If not, then I'll have to wait to attempt this until after Spring Break is over.

Wow. Went into a rant in this last half of this response, so I'll save you from it and instead go make my own thread. LOL

Number 1: HOLY FUCKING GOD I"M SO DOIN THIS SHIT
Number 2: I just had an interesting thought..
How much do you think one could sell these for? Regularly I'm just a user but I deal to help with the "Billz an shiet", So would the price be based on quantity of bud used to make each brownie, or based on how godly the trip will be?

and I have to proclaim my first brownie experiance that just happened last sunday.
So I go over to this persons house whom I am mildly familiar with, because I was going to work for her (I'm in the scrap metaling trade) and before I go out, she gives me half a cannabrownie. (I didnt know they were cannas till I bit into them..it was funny) And I go out to work for about half an hour. I come back in cause I need my homeslice there, and we spark up this half a joint I had. After we smoke most of that (and that took about another half hour) At this point I'm pretty blitzed, but I didnt realize at the time it was mostly due to the brownie. I drive home, my homies already there, we smoke up the rest of the weed and down half a bottle of Merlot. For some reason, I felt extremly tired at that point (I didnt know why then) and then slept for a good 16 hours. It was fuckin killer.

hahaha i did this today..omg...lol ghirradelli triple fudge into a 9.11 pan.

cut it into 16pieces, my friend ate one was COMPLETLY blitzed haha

hey guys, im thinking about making brownies this weekend or next weekend not really sure yet....but heres my situation...

I have about 6.8g of quality buds and i wanna make a batch of brownies...but i dont want them all to be gone after the day i make em! i was wondering if theres anyway u can preserve the brownies like freeze em or something without ruining the brownie.(i want to save a few for 4/20!)

also, how long do you think you can save them for? with having the same results as eating one the day u make a batch.....Thanks!!


P.S.- can anyone tell me what the high is like from brownies compared to firecrackers? Ive made firecrackers a few times and am starting to get tired of em so im trying something new...

Blazed,

If you make them this weekend and then keep them in the fridge for a couple of weeks, I do not find a noticeable deterioration
in potency. For longer term storage I put them in a seal-a-meal and then freeze them. That is another good option to help you resist the temptation to help yourself to a couple since they are in the fridge. Frozen they require a lot more effort to pilfer...

:jointsmile:I've had some brownies and other edibles before, but never felt like they did what they were supposed to do. I was told that when making some good brownies you need at least an ounce of buds to have enough thc in each brownie, to produce substantial results. Is this the right amount to put into one batch of homemade dankness or am i approaching this recipe entirely wrong??

Rider,

It takes somewhere between .25 - .50 grams per serving for most people to get very, very high. Using an oz of good herb in a batch of brownies is overkill, IMO...

MVP :jointsmile:

I know I'm late, but thanks a lot for the recipe! I made it before with butter, but with cookies and it was good. Never tried brownies.. but will do in a few days. Thanks again, appreciate you taking the time to share the good info!
