I know you were looking for science facts and all but I just ate one of these about half an hour ago and I just wanted to share with you what I did. I haven't felt like a high from them but I do feel relaxed, like shrug my shoulders and feel like I just got a massage type of relaxed.... I'm definitely going to try your coconut oil method. Ultimately I'm going to attempt, try and perfect making BHO and using that to cook with.....
Yes, decarb occurs naturally over several months. If you look at the left side of the scanned page I posted above, you'll see where the author suggests 390F for 5 minutes in a sealed container. Bearing in mind the the evap temp is 350, I set my oven for 300, and while it was coming up to temp I put ground bud on an aluminum foil boat, then put that in the oven for 5 minutes. That way there's no danger of flashing off the good stuff, and no having to wait an hour or more like you have to at lower temps.

It came out with a very pleasant toasted smell, and works great with a quarter gram or so in a tablespoon of peanut butter. Gives me a prolonged (several hours) relaxed feeling like you describe, though it does take an hour to kick in.
