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.
Coelho Reviewed by Coelho on . decarboxylation question 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..
