5 CBD Brownie FAQs

Here are some commonly asked questions about CBD brownie mix: 

1. Can I Use Cannabutter Instead of CBD Oil?

You can use cannabutter if you prefer a more cake-like texture for your brownies. 

The catch?

Cannabutter is illegal in some countries/regions, like the UK. 

Why is cannabutter illegal in the UK?

“Cannabutter” usually refers to cannabis-derived butter containing THC.

In the UK, it’s illegal to use any CBD product containing THC — making cannabutter illegal. 

To make CBD infused edibles in the UK, use THC-free CBD isolate (pure CBD powder) or broad-spectrum CBD oil. 

Is cannabutter legal in the US?

Cannabutter is legal in some US states (and other countries) that allow recreational cannabis use.      

2. How to Store CBD Brownies?

Store your CBD brownies in an airtight container in a cool and dry place.  

3. Do CBD Brownies Last Long? 

CBD edible products can last 2-4 weeks if stored properly in a fridge

Caution: Eating too many CBD brownies may result in minor side effects, like an upset stomach, drowsiness, and dry mouth. 

5. What is The Difference Between CBD Brownies and Pot Brownies?
