Want to bake something with the high of a joint but the taste of a brownie? This recipe uses all natural, cannabis infused ingredients to infuse the brownies with the potent, fresh cannabis flavor. These brownies will get you buzzing, if you know what I mean.
Everyone loves to bake, and with the growing popularity of the edibles market, it is no surprise that so many people want to try their hand at making infused edibles. But unlike most baked goods, brownies are quite difficult to make with cannabis, since the goal is to add it to the batter without altering the existing ingredients. These difficulties have led to a few methods being employed for adding cannabis to cooking…
In case you hadn’t noticed: Cannabis cuisine is currently at the height of its popularity in Washington. Certainly, the requirement for a health district-approved cannabis kitchen has proven too much of an obstacle for the medical program as a whole, and its absence has left a huge hole in a market that has become very lucrative in other cannabis-friendly states. I think we’re seeing more than just market forces here. What started as homemade cookies and pastries quickly turned into a competition for the most beautiful and unique treats, the most delicious dishes and gourmet concoctions. I see a city experiencing a culinary renaissance, thousands of spatulas happily swirling, inspired by the reacquaintance with this native plant in a vital and sensual way. I don’t know how spatulas work, so I’ll be happy if I can make someone else’s little masterpiece disappear. When deciding where to buy your star rolls and such, ask yourself if you like their flowers too. I’ve been following and drooling over these guys on Instagram for a while now, waiting for the chance to try these sparkling emeralds for myself. We met at the second Green Light Festival fundraiser, and I couldn’t help but get fanatical when they agreed to give me two cakes to review. The first is a triple chocolate brownie. They handed me a huge piece of dark chocolate in their glorious and very popular Dr Who colours and marked 150mg on the packaging as a warning, probably because I was a bit high on stoners, drugs and public speaking on an empty stomach. Under normal circumstances, however, my tolerance for oral ganja is sadly high, so a high dose was used immediately. I’m one of those people who thinks there’s no such thing as too much chocolate. But the cream cheese frosting balanced out the thick flavor of the mother and I loved it. The brownie was dense, but still soft and crumbly when I pulled it out to eat the next weekend. 45 minutes later, the drug started to work. For about thirty minutes I felt a slight mental boost, a slight intoxication that made me wonder if I should try to work. But after 15 minutes, I decided to sit in a chair and watch a sitcom. At its peak, this brownie was heavily psychedelic (which I expected given its Timewreck origins). I let go of the power over my thoughts and let the universal flow into this space with an overwhelming sense of calm and well-being. Everything was fine and I was where I was supposed to be. Everything went exactly as planned. Relax and enjoy the presence of this talking bear on your TV screen. Yeah, Meta was a little tipsy, that’s what I mean, but in a really good way.
Heath and Reese’s brownie was just as delicious as the Triple Chocolate, with the same homemade texture, but this brownie was made with grape kush. I’m very excited about the emergence of supplements specifically geared towards nuts and hope the industry continues to evolve in that direction! I wasn’t sure what to expect from the 80mg dose, but I felt a fresh, heady high that came on quickly (about 30 minutes) and kept me going for 90 minutes. The psychedelic effects prevent concentration, so I recommend waiting until PM in this case as well. And I definitely recommend these deliciously potent foods made from raw ingredients (except Reese’s chips, of course)! Like I said, you have to take the time to learn your tolerance, but if you can handle it, triple chocolate Doctor Who brownies are a great way to nibble on an evening of Netflix. If you’re planning a night out with friends because you have a life, unlike some of the weird internet bloggers we know, Reese’s Hit Cake and Grape Kush will not disappoint. And I did one thing yesterday, I can tell you, and it was great. Better than your thing. Not as great as meeting many other cannabis enthusiasts, advocates and business people at Saturday’s BUD Summit! Special thanks to my team who helped me set up the table in no time. Thanks guys, and hello to all the newbies! Take off your shoes, cast a spell… we’re gonna get weird.
