Hey Coelho, well when I'm done cooking it down it's not really in an oil state. I can scrape it off the dish pretty easy. Sometimes it is even kinda dry in spots when done and can be rolled into a ball without sticking to your fingers at room temp. As long as you don't play with it to long of course. But the water does sound like a good idea to try. The last few times the weed was well cured when I did it, 6 months or more. I'm not sure but wouldn't the decarb have to due with eating it and not if it is going to be smoked. With the heat causing the THCA to be converted to THC? Which is what will happen when I smoke it? It's just that when I decarb it, it seems to vaporize a lot of the unwanted stuff or convert then in some way as to not end up with a sticky mess when I am done. I can tell for sure that it gets rid of a lot of the chlorophyll that is in it.
