Does typical baking temperature(325) degrade thc?

Cookies and brownies typically call for temps of 300+. Everything I've read about thc degradation says this temperature is way too high unless I want a sedative....
How do you guys make cookies and brownies and not degrade the cannabinoids?

I will be cooking with coconut oil/bubble hash infusion double boiled for 90 mins.

The baking material does not reach the boiling point of water, otherwise there would be no water left in the baked product. I tested this myself with a temperature probe in a batch of brownies baking at 350° for 25 minutes. I am at 6600 feet elevation, water boils at 201° F here. I decarb my infused coconut oil at 245° for 25 minutes before cooking, I can watch it out-gas and know when it is done. Also, I simmer my weed/oil mixture for 8-12 hours. Then it gets decarbed, and baked, and it is not sedative. I like a couple of oz's per lb of oil for regular cooking, about 50% of the oil in a recipe, and have gone as high as 11 oz's per lb for caps. Those caps aren't quite as strong as the 25/gram I make from QWISO.

I go thru (well my patients) between 3-4 dozen baked goods every month. just baking raw (un-decarbd) mj product will not get you the results you want. the mj or the like needs to be decarb first. check out skunkfarm.com. they recommend and I use their tek, for decarbing mj/hash/keif/bho/ect heat over to 293* and bake in covered dish for 9 mins. or 225* for 20 mins so have been using this tek as well.
 
300 is way high to cook with in my opinion of course. Cook at 180 takes forever, go 200 and not as bad but experiment with the length of time... i like sedatives...so imma like it diff than some others...
 
No. Heres a example of testing paperwork? To know if you are truly gettin what your thc/cbd levels should be. U can test batch against batch to further tweak your temps and lengths of time.edible report example2 part deux.jpg
