Hash brownies: The ultimate recipe for perfect edibles

Hash brownies are a classic among cannabis edibles – easy to bake, delicious, and with a long-lasting effect. But how do you make them right? Here you'll learn everything you need to know about dosage, decarboxylation, and the perfect recipe.

What you should know before baking

Before you get started, there are a few things to keep in mind. Edibles have a different effect than smoked or vaporized cannabis:

Delayed effect: The high only sets in after 30-120 minutes.
Longer duration: The effect can last up to 6 hours or longer.
Intensity: Edibles can be stronger than expected. Start with a low dose.

The correct THC dose for hash brownies

Beginners: 1-2.5 mg THC per brownie
Occasional users: 2.5-10 mg THC
Experienced users: 10-30 mg THC
Warning: More than 30 mg of THC can lead to severe side effects such as paranoia or nausea.

If you don't know the THC content, use 10g of cannabis per 450g of butter as a rule of thumb.

Step 1: Decarboxylation – Activation of THC

Raw cannabis has hardly any psychoactive effect. THCA is only converted into THC through heat (decarboxylation).

Here's how:

Preheat oven to 110-120°C.
Finely chop the cannabis and spread it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Leave in the oven for 90 minutes, until golden brown.

Now your cannabis is ready for cannabis butter.

Step 2: Making the cannabis butter

Cannabis butter is the base for hash brownies and other edibles. Here's how to make it:

Cut 250g of butter into cubes.
Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a pot.
Add butter and let it melt.
Add decarboxylated cannabis and reduce to 70-90°C.
Simmer for 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes.
Filter the mixture through a sieve or straining cloth.
Let the butter cool and then solidify in the refrigerator.

The next day you can process the butter further.
