To avoid any confusion. Decarboxylation is not about 'converting the THC into a form your body can utilize through ingestion', it's about converting any remaining 'non-active' THCA into 'active' THC.

It's a step that only becomes necessary if you're using poorly cured bud, as it speeds up the drying process.

The aim is to force any remaining moisture out of the plant material through the application of heat, rather than wait for the plant material to dry naturally (i.e. via curing). My personal recommendation is not to go as high as 325F, just warm it on a lower temperature for slightly longer, nor is it essential to grind up the weed first.

Which ever method you use, the aim is to end up with dry, crumbly weed - easy to grind and high in potency.

vileoxidation - Sounds like you're getting close. Like weedhound, I've got quite a high tolerance too, but even so 3 of these is still enough to knock me on my ass for the evening. You'll know the difference when you hit the 'sweet spot' in terms of cooking time and temp. My suggestion is to keep it above 200F, but below 250F (I noticed you were hitting 280F previously).

Anyhow - good work and good luck :thumbsup:
Interesting, I've heard that without decarboxilification, the weed was useless, it'd be as though you ate a bunch of pot without cooking it at all.

I've tried both methods, and both times with properly grown and cured dank (lol, I don't smoke regs or beasters or whatever you like to call seedless, un-cured mid grade nugs) and without fail the oven method turns out to work, while the other way ( to my displeasure and disappointment) didn't get me high at all.

From my experience 325 is the magic spot, and after I cook the pot at that temp, as long as it's in a fatty substance I can do no wrong cooking at that temp.


And this is coming from a dude who will roll a 1.75 ounce joint of any "A-strain" or whatever and wake and bake it.


Yeah my tollerance is stupid high
