Common mistakes

Using the wrong amount of pot is probably one of the biggest mistakes when making cannabis oil. Adding too much marijuana for brownies can lead to an undesirable experience of paranoia and anxiety. It is essential to know how much pot to put in brownies, so that you can enjoy the experience. Always remember that edibles take longer to take effect, ranging from 45 minutes to 2 hours. Start with a small dose and wait before taking another one.

Other mistakes include:

  • Cooking at too high a temperature
  • Forgetting to add water to the butter
  • Grinding the weed too small which ends up in the final product
  • Not cooking or decarboxylating the weed long enough to activate the THC

How much weed do I need to make brownies?

You can use as much or as little weed as you would like as long as your ratio is accurate. Many recipes begin with at least 1 ounce of bud. This would then be divided into portions for cooking depending on your tolerance level and recipe serving size.

A recommended dosage per serving or one weed brownie square is between .3 to 1 gram each. There are 28 grams in an ounce, so a serving of 12 should not have more than ½ ounce of cannabis oil in it.
