How-to: Paleo's Potent Decarboxylated Cannabis Oil (Edibles Technique)

100C is the minimum decarboxylation temperature. 100c is not enough to fully infuse botanical raw material into lipids efficiently. Of course no heat will infuse some, just as low (100c) heat will extract a little more, but high heat is necessary to make complete oil infusions using this practical method. Next time you make a "green" oil, refry the spent bud on a new batch of oil, and notice how you missed close to half the cannabinoids...I did this, then I finally switched over to frying until brown. Potency >>>>> Taste and Color

Alright I have a quick question about making the oil, you said "For the frying, you only want to fry for under 5 minutes. The direct flame as you can see, heats the oil and cannabis in the container."

You said to only leave it on the stove for 5 minutes, when every other canna-oil recipe I see says to heat on medium-low for 45 minutes, but the other guides dont mention decarboxylation, is the reason for the decreases cooking time because you decarboxylate the bud? Also would this method work for a half of bud? just making sure =) dont really want to waste this much bud.

This method works for any amount of bud, just enough fat to submerge the cannabis is sufficient.

Fry on medium high, removing the flame after you reach the temp you want, then let it cool back down and repeat until the bud turns completely brown.

about how long should it take?

Anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the amount of bud. All the bud should turn brown to dark brown, like in the pics above.
