Cannabis-infused brownies \u2014 also called \u201chappy brownies\u201d \u2014 are one of the oldest edibles<\/a> in the cannabis cookbook. Their sweet, chocolatey goodness satisfies those with a sweet tooth and those searching for a potent alternative to smoking weed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first weed brownies on record were created by famed cannabis activist Mary Jane Rathburn, who came to be known as \"Brownie Mary<\/a>.\" Rathburn wanted to provide much-needed cannabis medicine to hospitalized AIDS patients in the LGBTQ community, so she infused homemade brownies with cannabis and snuck them into hospitals in the 1980s. Rathburn was later arrested for them in a historic bust that catalyzed media attention around California's cannabis legalization movement. Today, Brownie Mary's exact recipe is lost to history, but her legacy lives on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thousands of consumers, cannabis chefs, and DIY enthusiasts have tried their hand at whipping up some deliciously infused, chocolatey treats. Weed brownies are almost a right of passage in stoner culture, and you can learn how to make them at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
