The microwave will be heating the pot at a temperature below that which it takes to vaporize the THC.

No dry and cure your homegrown properly dont cheat. Theres no short cuts in drying and curing unless u want to lose potency.

Yeah, cure your weed normally. Hell, if you cure your weed exceptionally well, you wont even need to do the Microwaving, as the process the microwave does will have been done for you for the most part already.

Microwaving is used for schwag and mid grade weed that you want to make more potent. I also have used it when I had really sticky shit that just wouldnt take a flame at all, since it does dry out the weed some.

I just Microwaved some Afgani Kush for 2 minutes, and im definatly more high then usual from it.

Maybe we should request this get stickied.

Ok so this is basically just a quick cure type deal. usually when u cure buds they decarboxylate gradually over time. But this seems to speed up the process greatly. U get much the same effects as cured bud....smoke is smoother, more potency. Also probably why it doesn't work very well if at all on high grade, cured bud.

This has intrigued me.

I must try it one day.

Ill get a little bit and do it and if it does nothing i havent lost anything.

I will go down to woolies and get one of those microwave tubs just so i dont stink out the kitchen. :)

i put finished joints or blunts in the microwave for a quick drying process

so I tried microwaving for 30 seconds and the weed didn't really look any different. I smoked it and it seems like I got a little bit higher off it than normal so I'm guessing this does work. But in order to get it to work better, i'm thinking of trying the oven method. Anyone think this would work better than a microwave?
