Well... i actualy dont know... cause the ideal conditions for the decarboxilation happen is heating at 105C for 5 minutes. As it is just a bit higher than waters boiling point (100C), im pretty sure that heating at "only" 100C would be enough.
Also, while IN THEORY the microwave cant reach temperatures higher than 100C, i found that in the practice things are a bit different... once i put some ground bud in the microwave, and it did catch fire! So surely it reached temperatures higher than 100C... since then i only microwave whole buds, and never ground ones anymore...
But the surest way to make sure is microwave a bit of weed, heat in the oven another bit of it, and compare the two, to see if there is some noticeable difference between the two methods.
