(Courtesy of MariMed)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This morning, to mark the coming of National Brownie Day, MariMed\u2019s craft confectioners revealed photos of the world\u2019s largest weed brownie. This monster Bubby\u2019s Baked block-of-choc weighs in at 850 pounds. It\u2019s three feet wide, three feet long, and 15 inches tall.<\/p>\n<p>It contains 20,000 mg of THC.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s 200 times the dosage allowed in a single packaged brownie (100 mg). So the 11.25 cubic square foot brownie would be sufficient to get you and 199 of your closest friends quite pleasingly high. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-panacea-wellness-carries-normal-sizes\">Panacea Wellness carries normal sizes<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s actually not a massive dose when you break it down pound-for-pound. That\u2019s a little less than 24mg of THC per pound of brownie. If you\u2019re eating one full pound of brownie, you\u2019re eating a lot of brownie. <\/p>\n<p>Mini-me versions of the Bubby\u2019s Baked big block are available starting today at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/dispensary-info\/panacea-wellness\">Panacea Wellness,<\/a> the MariMed-owned cannabis store in Middleborough, MA. In coming months the brownies will be available in dispensaries in Maryland and Delaware.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-going-for-a-world-record\">Going for a world record<\/h2>\n<p>Ryan Crandall, MariMed\u2019s chief product officer and senior vice-president of sales, managed the project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we first started talking about this, we realized there were several of us who had been infatuated with the Guinness Book of World Records over the years,\u201d Crandall told Leafly. \u201cAnd the idea of getting in there was exciting. That was our aspiration. We felt that Jake and his team could execute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The world\u2019s largest non-infused brownie was about 250 pounds, \u201cso we figured we\u2019d blow it out of the water and then add the benefit of being infused,\u201d Crandall added.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"bubbys-brownies-normal-size-photo\" class=\"wp-image-187356 has-ll lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/worlds-largest-thc-infused-brownie-weighs-in-at-850-pounds-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/worlds-largest-thc-infused-brownie-weighs-in-at-850-pounds-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/worlds-largest-thc-infused-brownie-weighs-in-at-850-pounds-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/worlds-largest-thc-infused-brownie-weighs-in-at-850-pounds-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=1480 1480w\"><figcaption>Bubby\u2019s Brownies are available for purchase in Massachusetts, and soon in Maryland and Delaware. (Courtesy of MariMed)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-does-it-scale\">Does it scale? <\/h2>\n<p>Jake Dean, MariMed\u2019s senior food scientist, led the team that baked the brownie. (He\u2019s the one with the beard in the photos above.) <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t stray too far from how we make our normal brownies,\u201d Dean said. \u201cOur normal product is about 10 grams per serving, and this was 850 pounds, so we had to scale everything up quite a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had an increased bake time,\u201d he added, \u201cand used some baking tools to help heat the center of the brownie so it would bake evenly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients in the record-setting brownie include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>81 pounds flour <\/li>\n<li>212 pounds butter<\/li>\n<li>249 pounds brown sugar <\/li>\n<li>201 pounds liquid sugar <\/li>\n<li>122 pounds cocoa powder<\/li>\n<li>2 pounds baking powder<\/li>\n<li>1,344 eggs<\/li>\n<li>5.3 pounds vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-heavy-weight-champion\">Heavy weight champion<\/h2>\n<p>How do you move an 850-pound brownie?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery carefully,\u201d Dean said. \u201cI built a pallet that would support it, and built some supports for the table it sat on. A little bit of fortification was required.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-happens-to-the-brownie-now\">What happens to the brownie now?<\/h2>\n<p>No, you can\u2019t stop by and slice a piece off with a pocket knife.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear whether bite-size versions of the world record brownie would be legal to sell in most states, because regulations regarding THC potency are exacting. So the MariMed team is making plans to distribute pieces of the big brownie within the company, in accordance with state regulations.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-c-mon-guinness-it-s-a-legal-world-now\">C\u2019mon, Guinness! It\u2019s a legal world now<\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, <em>Guinness Book<\/em> officials informed the MariMed team that their record-keepers were not accepting cannabis entries at this time. But that didn\u2019t dissuade the bakers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the Guinness Book is prepared to take more cannabis entries,\u201d Ryan Crandall said, \u201cwe feel as though we\u2019ll be at the top of that list.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"author-box\" class=\"p-lg my-xxl bg-white rounded border border-light-grey elevation-low\">\n<div class=\"mb-lg\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/worlds-largest-thc-infused-brownie-weighs-in-at-850-pounds.jpg\" alt=\"Bruce Barcott's Bio Image\" class=\"lazyload inline-block mr-md rounded-full border border-light-grey\"> <\/p>\n<p>Bruce Barcott<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"text-sm\">Leafly Senior Editor Bruce Barcott oversees news, investigations, and feature projects.
