Hey all, I'm pretty new here and mostly interested in the cooking section, but I just ran into bit of trouble and I'm curious what you think. I knew I was job hunting so I stopped enjoying my greenery roughly 50 days before I ended up having to take a drug test, and I lost some weight, drank...

Update: I decarbed my latest batch before extracting into oil. Used a pizza pan that I covered in tin-foil and spread the weed (1oz.) over it, then put another sheet of tinfoil over it and crimped down both sheets under the pan. Decarbed for about 25min on 225 degrees and then extracted into...

Generally I understand decarbing to be when you put the actual weed into the oven and heat it up for 15min or so (the specifics are around here on the forums) to turn THCA (doesn't get you high) to THC (gets you high). Then you make your oil/butter like normal. I was wondering about the reverse...

I think they're saying that baking with already made cannabutter/oil boosts potency (b/c it's decarbing in the oven), but the best way is to decarb before making the butter.

Okay, I think that's it then. Mystery solved! Thanks everyone for the help, looking forward to trying this now.

Awesome info, thanks a bunch! I'm going to try decarbing at 300 for 15min like it says, then extracting into oil like normal and see if it works better (when I get some green in the near future). Just to be super clear, can you decarb cannaoil? I'm not going to do that, but that would explain...

Thanks for the info, I made sure the amount of oil was the same for the first few doses and it wasn't really doing much, which is what led to me wondering about the decarb question. So the act of baking the brownies (with canna-oil that's already been infused with THC) bumps up the potency...

I use a 1/2 oz. of decent weed for a 9"x13" inch pan of brownies. I use brownie mix that calls for 2/3 cup of oil. I cook the oil for about 2 hours at 210-230 degrees and stir it a lot, then strain it out and wring every effin drop (I use a cut up mesh veggie bag from a grocery store to strain...

Hey all, I realize this is probably a common question, but I thought I'd be specific for what I'm doing. What I want to do is make potent canna-dipping oil for bread. I usually make brownies, and they kick my ass. Last time, though, I tried stopping after extracting the THC into oil and then...

I did not decarb, as I mentioned above. I used 1.25 cups (10oz) of oil and 1oz of pretty decent bud. When I make brownies I use 1oz of bud and 1.67 cups of oil, they usually knock me out and I don't decarb, does the act of baking the brownies add something?

So I made the oil and I've tested it out a few times with dipping bread, it's surprisingly good. It's not, however, as potent as I was hoping. It seems to be a different kind of high, a lot more mellow, and I'm curious if there was anything I screwed up. I basically just made oil like normal...

So I should decarb my cannabis if I'm just going to extract THC into the oil and not make brownies afterwords? At what point would I do this? (I may have already made the canna-oil... haha) UPDATE: The oil works real well, I bought a bake-at-home baguette and used the warm bread with 1...

I was thinking about maybe avoiding the canna-cap idea all together and just making some oil like normal, then measuring out a normal dose, adding some herbs (not weed) and dipping bread in it. Does that sound legit? I can't see why it wouldn't work, and it'd be a lot easier. Would the oil go...

I love the idea of canna-caps and I've read BK's guide (amazing, btw) but I don't have a way to get hash or kief and I'd rather use some medium quality herb instead. I make brownies pretty much exclusively (don't enjoy smoking) and I'm diabetic so these pills sound fantastic, but this also means...

Hey there, I just was over at your outstanding CannaPharm post regarding edibles and pills and the like. I've been making brownies pretty regularly for about 2.5 years now (I dislike to smoke, so virtually 100% of my canna experience is via edible) and I'd guess I go through about an O per month...
