Two, how much ethanol extracted oil would you substitute for the BHO, would you just substitute 10 grams BHO for 10 grams quick washed ethanol oil or would you use a slightly different ratio?

Third, if using the BHO, you speak of getting the material decarboxylated by doing a 240 degree oil bath. How exactly do you do this?

Thanks so much!

Your work is most certainly an inspiration to me!
Sorry to take so long to notice this. I have just been monitoring new posts and missed this one.

1. I freeze the material and chill the alcohol in the freezer first. I use about ~3 minute washes and only shake periodically, keeping it in the freezer between shakes. Two washes usually does the trick.

2. I use the same ration of QWISO as BHO. They have slightly different properties, but close enough.

3. I put the cannabis oil container in a 240/250F oil bath and cook until bubble free. Most of the small bubbles toward the last are carbon dioxide from the decarboxlation process.

If it has had no other thermal processing, it takes about one hour at 248F for 70% decarboxylation. 70% is probably a good stopping point, unless you are looking for low head effect and high sedation and pain relief, because you are also converting THC to CBN at the same time.

It is about time at temperature, so if you have already cooked off the alcohol at 173F, it takes less time at 248F.

Thanks for the good thoughts!

We have come up with a couple of formulas and passed them through the volunteer patient test panels, which work well and which I personally use some version of for my own daily meds. Originally the formula would call for a perfumer boiling olive oil, water, cinnamon bark oil, cinnamon leaf, liquid Myrrh gum, and about 15 ounces of cannabis per quart, until the Rating: 5
