If you want to cook with cannabis, you will need to decarboxylate it to get the desired result.The process of decarboxylation involves heating the cannabis to the point that the naturally occurring THCA is converted into THC.If you are smoking or cooking cannabis, make sure you decarboxylate first.
Step 1: The cannabis should be prepared.
Decarboxylation is important if you want to use cannabis in cooking.Break the cannabis into small pieces.If you were cooking, spread the cannabis across the tray.
Step 2: Place the oven in it's place.
To decarboxylate cannabis, you need to heat it.The temperature at which decarboxylation occurs.Place your baking tray of cannabis into the oven at this temperature.
Step 3: The cannabis should be placed in the oven.
Place your cannabis in the oven when it is up to temperature.To get the maximum amount of decarboxylation, you need to heat it.There is no fixed amount of time you should leave it in there for, but around an hour is generally considered to produce the best results.Give it a quick stir and keep an eye on it.You shouldn't raise the temperature above 240 degrees Fahrenheit if you have cannabis with a higher moisture content.
Step 4: Allow it to cool down.
After an hour, remove the cannabis from the oven and allow it to cool.The colour will change and become a medium brown.You will notice that it has dried, and it should have a good texture.Once it has cooled, you can grind it in a food processor to make a small powder that can be used in cooking.Use it as you please, store it in a container like your other herbs.
Step 5: Do you know what decarboxylation is?
The natural state of the marijuana flower is not psychoactive.The process of decarboxylation is the only way in which the drug is created.By heating the THCA, it can be absorbed and activated.
Step 6: Don't know why to do it.
The main reason to decarboxylate cannabis is to make it more potent for oral consumption.When cannabis is smoked or vaporized, there is no need for a separate process of decarboxylation.
Step 7: Don't act recklessly.
The potency of cannabis can be increased by decarboxylation.If you cook with decarboxylated cannabis, be aware of how potent it can be and act sensibly.It is easier to consume cannabis in food than it is to smoke it.
