Cannabis as an ingredient, provides a lot of opportunity for experimentation and when it comes to pot cookies, you can definitely do more than just the traditional Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Baked goods in general, are very popular amongst users who make their own edibles, as it only takes cannabutter or Marijuana-infused butter to make it. It is another process on its own, and there is a lot of science behind it.

There are a lot of Cannabis-centric cookbooks out there, and they all have their own version of pot cookies. Online, the recipes for chocolate chip, sugar cookies, and even gingerbread cookies. Whatever cookie you have in mind, there’s probably a green version of it. Some people even bake them as gifts for Christmas.

The Foundation of Baked Edibles: Cannabutter

As mentioned, you need to make cannabutter, to create pot cookies. This ingredient is key when it comes to baked edibles, and with the cannabutter, you’ll be able to control the potency of the THC. It is important that you keep it at a manageable level, so that you keep the experience pleasant. The recommended percentage is 10% THC, and anything beyond that might just be too strong.

Why are Marijuana Cookies and Baked Edibles so Popular?

Now why are edibles like Marijuana cookies so popular? Not only can users easily make their own laced treats at home, they can ingest the herb in a tastier manner. Smoking isn’t preferred by a lot of people because they don’t want to expose themselves to possible carcinogens. Health-wise, not everyone’s body can handle smoking or vaping and this is where edibles come to play. People have a lot of reasons why they prefer edibles, whether it’s medical or personal.

At the same time, some people are simply not fans of smoking – so they rather just experience it gastrointestinally. Doing this will still merit the same effects and high that they are looking for.

The Gastrointestinal Difference

There is also a huge difference when a user ingests Cannabis gastrointestinally. It is said that THC, that is ingested this way tends to last longer since it’s being processed by the digestive tract. With this said, the desired effect of the pot cookies might come a little bit later compared to when you smoke it. Given that it’ll take longer to take effect, it is best to consume little amounts of cookies first, because you might run the risk of getting a too intense high.

It’s not that easy to determine the amount of THC in edibles, especially if you make them at home. However, a formula made by Jessica Catalano of “The Ganja Kitchen Revolution” indicates that a gram of Marijuana has 100mg of THC. With that said, you should use weed sparingly especially when you’re making cannabutter at home.

While huge amounts of THC isn’t fatal, it is best that you consume edibles such as cookies sparingly and responsibly.
