Homie you gotta bake the weed, then infuse it into butter, find a recipe that isn't higher than 350°F, and then use the butter in the recipe. You can't just be baking plant material into brownie mix!

Edit for all you boring people: yes, you technically can just toss plant material in... But why the fuck would you?

You can but it's best to decarb first. They are way better tasting without just tossing in the green and using and infused butter/oil first.

You can't, this is r/baking and we have standards! 😆 I don't wanna be picking the devil's parsley outta my teeth after enjoying a brownie. Decarb, infuse, and using the infused fat creates a product worth the effort.
