How to make the perfect hash brownies

hash brownies

Just back from Amsterdam where I thought I’d do the touristy thing and have some space cake in a ‘coffee shop’ where, as most people know, it’s perfectly legal. On the border with Belgium however, only locals are allowed to go to coffee shops, to deter the drug traffickers and tourists from nearby countries.
I had the most god awful period pains and a couple of puffs of a joint can be wonderfully relaxing. Cannabis can be helpful in a medical sense, but like everything, it should be used in moderation. What is worrying is skunk. One mental health nurse told me that the majority of admissions to a psychiatric ward from young people were due to skunk addiction. It really messes with your mood regulators.
However on the table next to me, at Stix coffee shop, I saw a group of young men. One of them was very pale, in fact his lips were turning blue. He stood up, then collapsed. It was difficult to wake him and the bored looking coffee shop worker, slapped the kid around the face until he came to.
I got this recipe from a young man of my daughter’s connaissance. He would sell them in the playground at school, at the Lycée Francais in London. What if a teacher bought one? I asked. Oh he had a system, said my daughter, he would have a normal brownie on top and offer them that.
Anyway this young man is generally a superb baker and I asked him for his recipe. Do be careful. Only eat a bite then wait 45 minutes. You don’t want a ride that you cannot get off.

Triple Chocolate Special Brownies

Hash Brownies


200g of good quality dark chocolate, 70% cocoa or more
150g milk chocolate
75g white chocolate
150g unsalted butter
1/8th Jah’s green medecine, finely ground (Silver haze not skunk or cheese)
50g chocolate powder
100g self-raising flour
200g light brown soft sugar
3 eggs
Vanilla essence
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 170-180C and line a cake tin (s) with baking paper.
Break up the dark chocolate and half the milk chocolate, into rough chunks and cut the butter into pieces (set aside a few chunks of dark chocolate for the chocolate chips). Place the butter into a bowl with your weed and bain-marie it until the butter has melted. Mix in your weed properly.
If the THC doesn’t bind to the fat in the butter, your brownies wont get you high.
Add the dark and milk chocolate chunks and bain-marie it all, mixing until it’s uniform. Take the bowl off the heat and leave it to cool.
Chop the remaining dark and milk chocolate and the white chocolate into small chunks and set aside.
Sieve the chocolate powder, flour, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg into a bowl and set aside.
Cream together the eggs, sugar and a few drops of vanilla essence until light and fluffy. This will take a while, the resulting mixture should be thick and nearly twice the volume of what you started with. Use an electric mixer.
Fold in the butter, chocolate mixture gently to avoid losing the air you’ve creamed in. Better yet, add the  creamed mixture to the chocolate bowl to minimise chocolate and drugs loss. You’ll end up with a swirly beige and brown mixture.
Fold in the flour, chocolate powder and spices bit by bit. Mix until uniform.
Mix in the chocolate chips and pour into the prepared cake rin, or pour into the rin and sprinkle the chips on top.
Place in the oven and cook for 20-30 minutes. The centre of the brownie should no longer wobble when you gently shake the cake tin. If it does, it needs a few more minutes. Cool for about 20 minutes.
Effects can take between 20minutes and 1.30 to kick in.
Cool in the fridge for the last few minutes to get that extra fudgy texture.

Avoid using large quantities of weed without raising proportions of other ingredients, as it changes the behaviour of the brownies in cooking. They tend to become too soft, fudgy and greasy. If using more than £25 to £30 worth, double the batch size. Do NOT use ‘cheese’. Silver haze works well.

  3. These were gorgeous! I made them for a stag do, halving all the ingredients as I wasn't sure what degree of caner would be attending, and they went down very nicely. Rich and fudgy (unlike previous recipes I have used, where, as Sarah Millican put it, it was almost as if the recipe's author hadn't thought about the cake part at all) with a sweet woozily mellow high. Cheers!

    • well im a stoner.. daily for 30 years, we buy in grams oz and pounds in australia and we cook the same. i would like to try tour recipe but 1/8th doesnt make sense to me either hun. please state what a 1/8th measurement might be. i usually do 50gr canna butter and 50 gr butter in my recipe but yours has clove etc which is not in alot of recipes. would love some clarity here so i can smile about it knowingly later. annon because i dont know what all that other stuff in profiles is. shezii australia

    • LOL! Brilliant reply Kerstin…..I have a load of left over Hash/Solid, which I was thinking of putting to good use….If you was using hash, would you double the amount? I can't see an 8th of hash doing much damage…..

    • (Recipe author comment) made these for the first time with hash the other day, grind up your hash as fine as possible but DO NOT GO OVERBOARD WITH IT – I put in about £10 of relatively weak hash to make 16 brownies and everyone who had them tripped major balls, even after taking just one or two. Not sure what your hash is like but maybe easier to make two weaker batches and see how it goes because hash seems to have stronger effects when cooked. Cheers

  11. Why not cheese? I live in UK and we can't get anything else here besides cheese. What should we do in this case?

    • (Recipe author comment) smoke it or bin it. Unless you're making a savoury weed recipe I would never use cheese because it will ruin the tasTe and consistency of your baking.

  14. Hey Kerstin,
    Great tasting recipe, however it wasn't quite as successful as I'd like. So I figure i didn't infuse the butter and weed correctly. How long should I Baine-Marie the two together for?

  16. (Recipe author comment) add hash/weed in ground as soon as butter is fully melted. Stir in well and leave for just 2mins or so, then add in your chocolate. Once this is melting well mix until uniform and continue to stir for no more than 2-5mins before taking off the heat and leaving your bowl to rest away from the hot water. Basically, the longer you Bain Marie the stuff in with fatty ingredients (particularly butter) the more of your THC will bind to it, but heat it too much or do it for too long and you risk damaging it, and your brownies won't have an effect. Sounds like a finer balance than it is, it comes with practice. Cheers

  18. You can't represent weed brownies as hash brownies! Dear Lord…is there no morality left in the world? 😛

    They're actually VERY different both in taste and effect.

  19. Hello Kirsten, I'm a 58 year old chronic pain sufferer and have had chocolate brownies with weed ?(green stuff that looked like dried herbs) before for the pain and it made such a difference. I don't say "man", I don't know what "cheese" is, in fact I don't know anything about it at all. The brownies I had before were made for me, so all I had to do was eat one a day. I take so much prescription drugs every day, but they couldn't do what one chocolate brownie could do! I'm not able to get them from my source now, so am I able to buy the main ingredient – the right ingredient without being too strong, from anywhere online? You might think that this is a joke, but it's far from being a joke. I've suffered more than six years of unrelenting pain, I'm a Granny of 5, I'm an ordinary person – but I'm in terrible pain all day, every day. Can you help me by pointing me in the right direction please, and advising me what it is I should buy – if I ever find anywhere to buy some from! Thank you

    • Hi suffering granny. Poor you. I do feel it should be legal for those in pain. Have you asked your doctor? My dad had bowel cancer last year and cannabis oil is supposed to be great for cancer. But can you get it legally in this country? No way.
      I can't tell you how to get it as I don't know. I have one friend who is a bit of a stoner and he has his sources (he suffers chronic back pain).
      I really wish I could help you.
      If you ever walk past someone and you smell it, do ask them. (Make sure it isn't skunk, I find that far too strong and I believe it's harmful. Skunk is not grown naturally.) I think it's ridiculous that someone of your age cannot legally buy a natural herb such as cannabis.
      If you go to festivals, often there will be someone selling brownies or weed.
      Can you ask your kids?

    • Dear Kerstin, thank you so much for your reply. I'm afraid I can barely walk around the house, let alone go to festivals and I've lost my sense of smell but wouldn't know what it smells like anyway! I'm afraid I'm a complete novice on these kind of drugs. Ask me what Diazepam or Morphine or any of the other things I take do to your body and I'd be able to tell you – and tell you to steer clear of them, but they still don't get rid of the pain. They just wreck your insides. The only thing that gave me some relief is the thing I can't get. Ah well, I'll just keep trying. But thank you for your kindness and understanding Kersten x

    • has anyone elses sympathy reached a concerning level? one of the main problems with the internet is not being able to tell if anything is real, so all i can suggest is selling your property and moving to a country where it is legal. spain? parts of america? if i was rich i would get you off all those nasty prescriptions and on to something that works

  21. These were terrible. Done to all the specifications, this just isn't for experienced stoners. I'd much rather have smoked all of the weed I put in them.

  22. Hi, I'm only looking to make half a batch of these, so as well as halving the amount of ingredients should I halve the amount of weed?

    • haha I notice virtually all the comments are anonymous!
      They really ought to legalise it. It's now being touted as something that lowers your blood sugar therefore good for diabetics.
      A whole cake? mm have to test it I think. But it's brownies not cupcakes. I'll have to reshoot it.

  26. Superb stuff. Funny and possibly very good – I'll tell you presently. But, what the hell is cheese, in this context?
    And I'm assuming that you use the solid stuff for this? That's what I've always thought of as # or rez (resin). The green stuff has always been herb or grass. Is that the common understanding?

  29. Love this recipe : ) I can't wait to finish my 24hour shift soon & get baking these spacey brownies! I am a weed smoker but I have never tried a brownie before. (Shock I know) i was searching the web all last night then this morning to find this one seems the most magical. I have just under a £20 bag to use, will this still have the same effect? I don't want to cook the brownies then be disappointed when there is no effect as you can imagine I'm super excited to try my first space adventure.
    As I know it's stated here to use around 3.5 grams.
    Thank you,
    Jasmine.

  30. Love this recipe : ) kwerky photography too! I can't wait to get home & finish my 24hour shift soon to make these spacey brownies! I've been searching the web all night & morning to find the perfect recipe, this one just stood out as the most magical!
    I'm a weed smoker but I've never actually tried or made weedy brownies, (shock I know).
    I have just under £20 worth will this still be effective? I would be so disappointed if I didn't go on a spacey adventure once I've made them. As I know stated it says to use around 3.5 grams.
    Thank you,
    Jasmine.

    • I've retested this recipe using solids grated up finely. I used an 1/8th for this recipe and they were really strong. I could only eat quarter to a half of a brownie. So I'd probably put less in.
      But I have to say they were delicious, to the point that you wanted to gobble the whole brownie but would probably regret if you did.
