It only wont work if your weed were of very high quality and be already completly cured (which makes this decarboxilation happen naturally). But if it were homegrown, mids (or lesser), or even good (but not the dankest) weed, the results will be noticeable. :thumbsup::rastasmoke:

it may not melt but microwaving soft plastics,release toxins that could poison u!


keep on tokin:stoned:

Microwaving plastics can release the plasticizers, compounds that are added to a solution to begin the polymerization process. These include the Phenols, which are organic carbon ring molecules with an -OH group attached, and are known to be toxic (hazard rating 4 on a scale of 0-4), among others.

Always microwave in glass or ceramic containers.

Don't use a microwave that often. I didn't put tinfoil in a microwave. Just asking because for firecrackers you wrap tinfoil around it, but you put that in an oven.

Anyway, my friends confirmed there's definitely a difference with taste and the high. They noticed the high was more "sobering" than normal. After what I told them what I did, they thought it was pretty neat and were going to do it themselves if they ever needed to feel something different.

Well... the first time i read about this was at:

Robert A. Nelson: Hemp Husbandry ~ Cannabinoid Chemistry (Ch 6)

My only contribution to this recipe was using a microwave to heat the weed, instead a water bath as suggested in the original site.
Since then there was a lot of threads about this decarboxilation method. In fact, i got most of my first reps (the darker green ones) when i first posted this method here, some years ago.

very good research, thank you ! :thumbsup:

so does this work or not? who has tried it, and what were the results?

Well... you can look at this threads:
