On a side note, isn't doing this the exact same as making a tincture? Except a more potent form? |
Yes, it is exactly that.
Also, apparently decarboxylation is useful in converting insoluble THC acids into soluble THC.
From the wikipedia article I cited a few posts back:
There is some evidence to suggest that
baking (as in "drying") the dry buds and leaves prior to adding them to the alcohol in either method increases the potency of the resulting preparation
[1][2]. This is because the baking process converts insoluble tetrahydrocannabinol
acids into soluble THC (see
decarboxylation).
