Welcome to Cannabis School. I'm your host, Jesse Angeles.
And I'm Brandon Elder. And we're here to talk to you
about everything pertaining to cannabis from vape, flour,
edibles. Strains.
And everything in between. Welcome back everyone.
Hey guys, today we're going to have some fun.
We've been talking about edibles a lot, and today we're making a
special one. This recipe actually comes
straight from my wife's cookbook.
These are Stephanie's brownies, and they're amazing.
That's right, Stephanie's brownies.
But today we're giving them a little twist by infusing them.
Exactly. So if you ever make these and
decide to infuse them, Brandon's going to show us how we're doing
that today. I infuse some coconut oil with
about 600 milligrams of one of our favorite strains, Delicata
grapes. Nice delicata grapes is
fantastic, super chill strain. I've never had an an edible
before so this is going to be interesting.
Same here. I'm really excited about this
one. Now.
For those of you following along, we'll put a dosage
calculator link below. That way you can calculate the
right potency for your own edibles.
Yeah, it's a much better way to measure than just throwing in a
bunch of ground up flour and the brownie batter that always ends
up with random chunks of weed and plant in your dessert.
Nasty. For this infusion I used coconut
oil. I decarp 2G of flour and a glass
Pyrex dish at 240°F for about 35 minutes.
So 240 Fahrenheit for 35 minutes.
Got it. After that, I added one
tablespoon of coconut oil to the decarb flour and let it infuse
in the oven for another 45 minutes at the same temperature.
So 35 minutes to decarb and another 45 minutes with the oil.
That makes sense. Yeah, once that was done, I
strained out the plant material using a fine mesh strainer,
leaving behind just the infused coconut oil.
That's awesome, and since it's just one tablespoon, it won't
mess with the consistency of the brownies or anything.
It'll make them even easier to pull out of the pan is what I'm
thinking. Exactly.
Just swap out one tablespoon of whatever fat your recipe calls
for it with this infused oil. All right, time to start making
these brownies. First we need to cream the
butter. It's better with if the butter
is at room temperature. Mine was in the freezer so it's
a bit cold. Yeah, looks like you're trying
to mash it to warm it up. You know, some people beat their
meat, but Jesse, he beats his butter.
Yep, got to soften it up. Also I should probably close the
windows. My neighbors.
That's weird dude. Yep, got to soften them up.
Just kind of mash these up with my hand, make them all warm and
mashed up. Or you could just stream it live
on YouTube. Jesse's butter beating
tutorials. I feel that they attract the
wrong audience. Anyway, back to the brownies.
We've got the butter creamed and now it's time to add the sugar.
The original recipe calls for two cups of sugar.
Yeah, let's do 1 1/2 cups instead.
I do have diabetes, so let's not push this over the edge.
Shit, that's a lot. Should we cut it down?
Next, we need to add the eggs, and we need to do this one at a
time. Good call.
All right, mixing that in. There's a video I saw once where
a guy got roasted in the comments for cracking eggs with
two hands, so we cracked 1 using his butt cheeks instead.
What? Yeah, like full on clenched and
crushed it. That's impressive.
Right. OK, eggs are in.
Now we add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
Eyeballing this one. Boom, done.
Now for the dry ingredients, we need one and three quarter cup
flour, 6 tablespoons cocoa powder, one teaspoon baking
powder and a quarter teaspoon salt.
I always add a little extra salt to balance out the sweetness.
Makes everything taste better. Jesse's a salty bitch.
Yep, that's me, Mr. Salty. Bet too.
So now we decide on how potent we want these brownies.
Right. We have 600 milligrams total
infused into one tablespoon of coconut oil.
If we use the full tablespoon and cut the brownies into 15
pieces, each one would be 40 milligrams.
It's a bit strong, so let's cut that in half.
Good call. We'll add a teaspoon and a half
of infused oil, which gives us 300 milligrams total, meaning
each brownie would be about 20 milligrams.
Perfect. Now let's warm the oil just a
bit and mix it in. Pro tip, if you're in an
apartment and don't want your place smelling like weed, you
can do all of the decarb and infusing of the flour and the
oil all in a sealed Mason jar in the oven.
It just helps keep that smell contained.
Dude, that's a. That's a solid hack all.
Right, batter's done. Let's spread it in a 13 by 9
inch pan and bake. The recipe says 350 for 25 to 30
minutes, but if you're worried about preserving the
cannabinoids, you can bake it at 3:25 for 40 minutes instead.
We'll do 325° today and just use the toothpick test to check when
they're done. Sounds good.
Into the oven they go. All right, well, these bake.
Let's talk about dosing. I always think about my buddy
Matt's first brownie experience. Each one was 115 milligrams and
he had no idea. Yeah, that's why calculating
your dose is important. If you want a micro dose, you
could make the whole tray just 50 milligrams total and eat
freely. Exactly, just break it down into
a dose that works for you and never make the mistake of
thinking I don't feel anything yet and eating more.
That's how you meet edible Chewbacca.
Oh man, I still remember my first time driving home and then
suddenly Chewbacca's chilling in the passenger seat next to me
while we're both blasting off into lightspeed.
Edibles hit different. All right, let's check back once
these are done. Bacon.
Stay tuned. OK, kids, so we're back and one
of the really cool things is that we messed up on the audio.
And so you're going to be hearing voice over before this.
So that's fun, but no big deal because it's happened before.
We've done it so many times. OK, so here's your brownies
again. We put it in there at 3:25
instead of 350 and we did it for about.
Let me know if it's about. 40 minutes, OK.
All right. So I'm going to bust one of
these out. Before we frost it.
And well, you can frost it, it's an option, but.
The recipe for the frosting is also on there, so don't worry,
you'll be able to see that. If you like a lot of sugar,
Brandon and I are not big frickers.
Well, we do like it and we know it's not good for us.
Yeah, I'm trying not to be diabetic.
And Dusty Arity is diabetic, yes.
Still, you know, a little bit of caution to the way in it.
OK, so again, here's the brownie.
It's very cakey, as you can see, but the frosting on top of it.
I don't smell any cannabis. I don't.
Smell it. It could be because of the lower
dose try could use frosting, but it's still really good.
It's not too sugary. It's a very cakey consistency.
Until, like the next day, their money, they're stuck.
In. So if you're planning a little
get together, maybe you're going camping, you want to bring
something really good for everybody.
Maybe Nana has been a little too bitchy lately and you need to
drop something by. Or maybe you just want to have
that ward party be a little bit more elevated and closer to the
Spirit. Probably hilarious.
You know, if I was that type of person, I totally would just go
drop off a plate of brownies, but I feel like I'm not that
type of person. No.
You're not That's OK, But I I do think it would be quite, quite
funny. But then you'd see it on the
news of like. How can you?
Well, there was a there was a whole thing in Florida, like
some person dosed the entire meal, didn't tell anybody.
For a wedding party. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I saw that and it was like they were getting sued because not
all of their party knew or wanted something.
They're like what? Yeah, don't dose your friends
without them knowing just. It's.
Kind of a fucked up dude. It sounds like that one thing
with Ari Shapir and Bert Kreischer, you're going to see
that duty dosed Bert Kreischer with Molly without telling him,
and he had a four hour flight to get on after that podcast.
I mean, he was freaking out. That's got to be so hard.
I can't imagine like going so good.
Gosh. I was talking to someone
yesterday and he was telling me that he likes to take about 5
grams of mushrooms and then go to a concert.
I can't imagine going out and up doing that on 5 grams of fresh
that sounds. Horrendous.
That's like deep introspection, like trying to process some
stuff. Yeah.
Are you being in full hallucination mode by that side?
And it'd be so difficult to discern what's OK and what's not
now. We did brownies today.
We got some plants and we'll put it down there.
We'll put a hole in there. What do you want next?
You want a hard candy? No gummy.
Would you want it in fears on the build?
Right pasta meal from scratch. Oh yeah, I like to learn cheese
meals. Those are some of my favorite
ways to do edibles Is actually just cannabis and cheese meal I.
Don't know, depend on the strain too because like Brandon had
frosted flakes like you said. Yeah, very Piney notes on them.
But I do know notice that with frosted flakes when I have a
higher dose for a large amount I feel a little bit dopey.
Yeah. Not like super dopey but like
it's it's a good chill of mine kind of like.
Oh yeah, just relax. Yes, 35 Sun Yeah, thanks for
