Decarb Your Cannabis

Decarb (Decarboxylation)

Making edible with raw cannabis will not have much of an effect. To get the most out of your edibles, the THC and CBD must be activated into doing their job through a process called decarboxylation.

Terpenes start to break down at 310 degrees Fahrenheit. The best temperature to decarb your weed then, is right around 225 degrees Fahrenheit.

Instructions to Decarb your Cannabis

  • Preheat your oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you have trim or shake place it on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. If you have dried bud, break up your dried bud into small pieces first. Be sure to remove any stems in the process.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes. Move and flip every 10 minutes so it cooks evenly.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool. The cannabis will be light brown, dry and crumbly, when it’s done.

Now you have decarb and are ready to make edibles

Cannabis-Infused Cooking Oil

Note: Coconut and olive oil are the most common choices; coconut oil has a milder taste and can therefore be used for more dishes, whereas olive oil is the staple cooking oil for most kitchens. THC works well with high fat ingredients like coconut oil.

Note: Be cautious when using the oil to prepare dishes that require heating. Do not microwave and choose low heat whenever possible.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of ground cannabis flower (or less for milder potency)
  • 1 cup of cooking oil of your choice

Hardware:

  • Strainer or cheesecloth
  • Grinder (a simple hand grinder works best; appliances like blenders and coffee grinder pulverize the cannabis, resulting in edibles with bad tasting plant material)
  • Double-boiler, slow cooker, saucepan, etc.

Directions:

  1. Grind the cannabis, not fine enough to pass through cheesecloth.
  2. (For already decarbed Cannabis, move to step 3)
  3. Combine oil and cannabis in your double-boiler or slow cooker
  4. Heat on low or warm for a few hours to decarb cannabis.
  5. Combines Cannabis and oil in either:
    • A slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally
    • A double-boiler on low for at least 6 – 8 hours, stirring occasionally
    • A saucepan on low for at least three hours, stirring frequently (a saucepan is most susceptible to scorching).

In all cases, a small amount of water can be added to the mixture to help avoid burning. Note: whatever method you choose, temperature of the oil should not exceed 245°F.

6. Strain

  • Lay cheesecloth in the strainer
  • Pour oil into the center and slowly into the center of the cheesecloth/strainer.
  • Strain and store the oil.
  • Do not squeeze the cheesecloth, let drain

Oil stored at room temp can last 2 months. Can be extended with refrigeration.
