Just a heads up here! I originally published this article two years ago for 4/20 and pulled some of my favorite ‘cooking with weed’ marijuana edibles recipes for you guys back then. I figured since today is 4/20 during the entire month of 4/20 that I’d go ahead and run this again. I hope you enjoy the recipes below!
It’s arrived. April 20th, aka 4/20, aka Stoner Christmas. It’s the one and only holiday that stoners give themselves each and every year and that means trying to pack a year’s worth of bong olympics and THC-infused edibles into a 24-hour period.
When it comes to the cannabis world I inhabit a weird space. A lot of people who know me might think that I’m a stoner and they wouldn’t be entirely wrong to assume that based on appearances and reputation, but the fact of the matter is I almost rarely smoke weed or eat edibles. I just really love baking and cooking with weed. This works out brilliantly for all of my friends because they essentially get free edibles and I do all of the legwork. I’ve done a few ‘Cooking With Weed‘ articles here before but I wanted to throw some recipes your day for 4/20/20.
Before we take a look at recipes for best 4/20 weed edibles below I want to tell you bros all about the Magical Butter MB2e machine, and their 21UP Bundle of accessories. This is a gross oversimplification of how great Magical Butter’s MB2e machine is but when people ask me about it I describe as ‘something like an Easy-Bake Oven for adults who love THC-edibles’, and by that I mean the machine does all of the heavy lifting for you.
Making THC-infused butter or oil is as easy as putting decarbed weed into the machine with butter or oil and hitting the start button. I recently made a tincture for my first time which you can use via a dropper and take a few drops underneath your tongue (full explanation on THC tincture here) or you can use tincture to make THC-infused gummies.
I recently picked up Magical Butter’s 21UP Bundle of accessories which made making gummies and butter an absolute breeze because it comes with soft trays for molding butter and gummies. You don’t realize how vital a butter tray is until you make your own butter and need to form the liquid butter into measured sticks (same goes for gummies).
One ‘life hack’ I used before I got the butter trays was to pour the THC-butter from my Magical Butter MB2e machine into a solo cup up to the bottom line, and once it solidified I cut the Solo cup open and had a hockey puck of butter. But these butter trays are an infinitely better option because when you’re baking edibles you want to know precise amounts of butter/oil being used and you don’t want to just wing it:
