DIY is the new buying edibles! If you're looking for a relaxed yet effective way to make your own cannabis edibles, you've come to the right place. Whether it's brownies, cookies, or pasta – homemade edibles let you get creative and take your weed experience to the next level. And the best part? You have complete control over the dosage and flavor.

In this article, we'll show you how to conjure up the best edibles in your kitchen – without stress, but with maximum fun.



What are edibles and why should you make them yourself?

Edibles are cannabis snacks that not only fill you up but also help you relax. Instead of joints or vapes, you can use them to consume weed discreetly and deliciously.

Why do it yourself?

  • Creativity: You can try everything – from sweet to savory.
  • Dosage: No surprises – you decide how strong it will be.
  • Save money: Store-bought edibles are often expensive; DIY is cheaper and more fun.

What do you need for edibles?

Before we begin, check the basics:

Ingredients:

  • Cannabis (for example, our HHC or PHC flowers – more on that later)
  • Butter or oil (unsalted)
  • Everything you need for your recipe (flour, chocolate, etc.)

Utensils:

  • baking tray and baking paper
  • saucepan or slow cooker
  • sieve or cheesecloth

Why decarboxylation is essential

Before you put your weed in the butter, you need to decarboxylate it. Sounds fancy, but it's easy: This step activates the THC in your weed. No decarboxylation? No high – that would be a shame, wouldn't it?

Here's how:

  1. Preheat the oven to 115°C.
  2. Roughly crumble the blossoms and spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Roast for 30–40 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes.

After baking, it not only smells great, your weed is now ready for the next step!


Cannabutter or cannabis oil – which suits you better?

Cannabutter: The classic ingredient for brownies, cookies, and all things sweet. Easy to make and versatile.

Cannabis oil: Perfect for savory dishes like pasta or dips. Also good if you want to avoid butter.

Here's how to make cannabutter:

  1. Melt butter with a little water over low heat.
  2. Add the decarboxylated weed and let it simmer for 2-3 hours.
  3. Pour the mixture through a sieve or cheesecloth to remove plant residue.
  4. Let it cool down – done!

How do you dose your edibles correctly?

Dosage is key with edibles. Too little, and you won't feel anything. Too much, and you'll wonder why the couch is talking to you.

Our rule of thumb for the best edibles:

  • Beginners: 5–10 mg THC per serving.
  • Advanced users: 10–20 mg THC.
  • Professionals: 20 mg and more (but only if you know what you're doing!).

How long does it take for edibles to take effect?

Unlike joints , edibles take time to take effect. Why? Your body first has to digest and process the THC.

Patience is key:

  • Onset of effect: 30–90 minutes.
  • High duration: 4–8 hours.

Tip: Start slowly and wait before adding more.


Common mistakes when making your own edibles and how to avoid them.

  1. Excessive temperatures: THC can be destroyed at temperatures above 100°C . So always use low and slow!
  2. Inaccurate dosage: Use scales to weigh your weed accurately.
  3. Poor storage: Store edibles in an airtight container in a cool place to keep them fresh for longer.

DIY edible recipes for beginners

Cannabis brownies:

  1. Prepare a packet of brownie mix, but replace the regular butter with your cannabutter.
  2. Bake, cool, enjoy – simple but effective!

Cannabis cookies:

  1. Mix cannabutter with flour, sugar and eggs to make your favorite cookie dough.
  2. Bake and share with friends (or eat it all yourself).

Cannabis pasta:

  1. Replace regular olive oil in your favorite pasta sauce with cannabis oil.
  2. Ideal for a relaxed dinner date.

Enjoy safely: Tips for consumption

  1. Start small, don't overdo it: Begin with a small portion and wait before eating more.
  2. Stay relaxed: If it gets too intense, drink water, eat something sugary, and chill in a safe environment.
  3. Shopping with friends: It's more fun together and you feel safer.
