Why decarboxylate Your weed before cooking with it?
Because it truly does make it more potent and helps the extraction process.

Decarboxylating cannabis converts THCA into THC. [ THCA does not get You high, THC does ]
Decarboxylating also helps makes the THC trichomes [crystals] more brittle
and makes it a whole lot easier for the trichomes to fall off the plant matter.

Decarboxylation temperature is 220*F ~ 240*F

How long ???? .... 115 minutes in air tight mason jar
After cooled, put decarboxylated weed into freezer for 15-30 minutes

Do Not further grind up weed after decarboxylation or You will lose THC content / potency

Your decarboxylated weed is now ready to be put into coconut oil or butter !!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The cannabis to butter/oil ratio depends on how potent Your product is.

For a potent product: 1 lb oil/butter ~ 1/2 oz of plant matter

1 lb of oil / butter = 16 oz or 2 cups
for every 14 grams [ 1/2 ounce ] of bud, shake, or trim.
or
1/2 lb or oil / butter = 8 oz or 1 cup
for every 7 grams [ 1/4 ounce ] of bud, shake, or trim.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Melt the coconut oil or butter and put in a crock pot for 190*F

Use water to layer the oil / butter to make it easier to get out once solid / cooled.
The said temperature to infuse is 190*F in a crockpot with a lid.
The longer You leave Your cannabis in the oil / butter , the more potent.
Go around 12 hours just to be sure.
Once 12 hours is up, strain the oil / butter with cheese cloth

Your product is just about finished, now to cook with it and enjoy !!!

Skunkfarm.tek never failed me.in 4+yrs of baking edibles. I make between 3 and 5 dozen a month. 293* for 8 mins, 9 mins if using qwet extract.
 
there are endless methods..
time is a function of temp
the graph alot of people have posted has been proven inaccurate..

ive posted the "science" of decarbing. involving polar surface area and that good stuff.


but everyone does it differently

got links ?
This method I posted above works EXCELLENT.

I have a HUGE tolerance and not even a 1/4 teaspoon gets Me a good sleep dose.
If I want a good high dose It is a good solid 1/2 teaspoon.

If I want to trip.... I eat 2 teaspoons on an empty stomach
