decarboxylation question

[conch420]

i was just wondering if decarboxylating (sp?) pot will have any extra effects when smoked? they say to do it to increase the thc for extacts, but does the thc get dcarbolated when it is smoked or does it happen over time? im think about doing it to a couple buds when i pick up tomorro, and wanted to know if it was worth it..

I don't even know what you are talking about. Granted there is a lot I don't know, but that may as well have been written in French... Sorry bro, I can't help.

Remove a carboxyl group from (a chemical compound.) That helps me out none but I'm sure there will be people able to help.

You have to speak the language of a pothead. Dumb it down a little.

I';m guessing you're asking about making an cannabis extract? That's either hash or oil. Keep in mind that a few buds, like 1-2grams, will only make about .1-.6 of a gram of either, which is very little.

Just do a search on how to make hash or oil if that's what you're after. It's been posted a hundred times before, so use the search feature at the top of the screen.

no in master wu's recepie for green dragon he talks about it for his green dragon and i just wanted to know if it changes the effects of the high.

yeah it can make the weed stronger, but it might be harsher to smoke.

[darkside]

what he means is heating the bud to activate more THC. i think it might make the smoked effects stronger. when your smoking bud it does not have time to fully activate all the THC because you are simply burning it, not giving it time to fully convert or decarboxylate the other cannabinoids into pure THC. try it and see and post back

Well, tonight i tryed to do it in my toser oven and it sunk the hell out of my dorm room..:stoned: so i took it outand thew fish stick in it and sprayed axe evry where.. the epot was in there for a bit and it was good it was at 220 degrees and stuff it was all crisp and i thought i fucked it up but i got waaaaaay high it was crazy and lasted much longer, definately worth it but it is too risky with the smell..

i dont believe removing a carboxyl group from marijuana would have any affect. I'm trying to think of how you would even do it???

you can weaken a polar carboxyl (hydrogen, for that matter) bond with ethers or alcohols, but you'd obviously ruin your marijuana. not to mention, it has to be done in the vapor phase (i think).

stick with putting it in your pipe and smoking it.
