So I have a real good source. Not that you need a lot but I wouldn’t want to have to buy this amount and I live in Michigan where cannabis is rather inexpensive at the Dispo’s
Ok get on with it… you’ll see ‘decarb’ is easier to say.
“Decarboxylation (pronounced de-carb-OX-yl-a-tion), is a process that actives the psychoactive compounds in the cannabis plant so that you feel high when you consume it.
The cannabis plant contains THCA, which will not get you high, and that THCA needs to be converted into THC in order for you to get high. This is most commonly done with heat—the flame of a lighter, the atomizer in a vape pen, a torch with a dab rig, or an oven when making edibles.
THCA in the plant has an extra carboxyl ring in its chemical structure, and heat removes that ring, or de-carboxylates, the compound, hence where the term comes from.”
Ok that’s the text book explanation. I usually decarb about an ounce or two.
I play with the amounts I need. I started with small doses ….a sprinkle barely worth measuring, to the amount I feel I need for the planned activities for the day. Never when I have to drive anything.
For the THC to be absorbed by the body the best it should be administered in a fat, hence the peanut butter.
We also make a Chai Tea drink with added coconut oil. More relaxing than alcohol, better sleep too.
I use an Instant Pot to decarb with. At my altitude it gives me the most consistent temperature across time.
On the high setting the pressure inside brings the temp up to 240 degrees perfect temp to go for 40 minutes exactly. Manually releasing the pressure at 40 minutes…perfect decarb. I put the flower in mason jars sealed tightly against the steam.
Darn I should’ve added this link…sorry
