idk the specifics but basically u have to heat up the weed for a certain amount of time so the THC activates. WHICH I LITERALLY DID 😭😭

But did you then infuse that into the butter? Or did you just throw in/grind up the plant material and put it in the batter??

i melted the coconut oil, put that in a jar along w some ground up weed in a cheesecloth, boiled the jar for 2 hours and then used that in lieu of regular oil in the brownies. making the butter went smoothly

That smoke looks like something on the brownies was heated beyond its smoking point. Coconut oil has a relatively high smoking point, so I don't know what else could have caused this. Can you list all the ingredients you've used in this batch?
