I really did it this time!
My husband went to work the following day, and they were cracking jokes at him that he has a pot head for a wife!
I have no idea why that came out like that other than nerves. I don't even like it!
How can I turn this into a joke next time I see them?
After I ordered at the restaurant, I made a comment about the wine going to my head, but they didn't buy it!

Next time, say very clearly, "Hey, I hope they have a pot roast this time"

Marijuana sauce? Something in the Alice B. Toklas line? sounds yummy! ;-))
My husband, who is an inveterate word-scrambler, once told the waitress at a dinner we were at with a bunch of friends that he wanted to order "spirochetes with marinara sauce." (He meant spiralli pasta). This brought conversation to a thundering full stop for a few moments, then some laughs.
Nothing to compare to the time he was in a group of people and called someone a "genital idiot." Now that inspired some interesting mental pictures, I'm sure...;-))

I imagine you weren't the first person to do this.
When you see them again, and they bring it up, you can go with the flow and say "Yeah, that marijuana sauce is great. I was feeling pretty good after eating that dinner!"
Hopefully, the joke will get old and they will drop it after a while.
Try to be a good sport and go with the flow.
If it continues to bother you, ask your husband to say something to his coworkers like "O.K. guys, we get the joke. Let's drop it now, o.k.?"

I guess you can tell I'm not much of a cook. I mistakenly made marijuana sauce for my spaghetti and used medical marinara in my brownies. The pasta was good but I was hungry an hour later.

Say this next time "That marijuana sauce is great, no only do I like the taste, I like the smell too. I love to sniff it all day long" lol :)

I actually believe your little mishap added to the affability and, as well, likability of you to your husband's co-workers. It's already a joke if they were joking about the next day at work. I don't think further convincing is needed.

I would wait for them to say to joke with you -- or have your husband joke around with you -- and then just come up with something clever kinda teasing yourself in response.

Just let it go, if they don't bring it up then you don't bring it up. you don't want to look like an airhead who is trying to explain an addiction to marijuana. If they joke about it, just laugh along.

Next time you're at dinner with someone, say in a VERY OBVIOUS way (and a smile on your face so they know you're joking) "Could you please pass the Blunt...I mean salt."
