Decarboxylate

[h=2]Toast Your Cannabis[/h]

  1. Pre-heat Oven to 215° F.
  2. Place cannabis on a cookie sheet pan.
  3. Toast for 15 minutes.
  4. Increase temperature to 240° F.
  5. Toast and additional 45 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven, let cool.
  7. Grind up toasted cannabis finely for immediate use, or store in light-tight, air-tight container.
This treatment of cannabis will not destroy the THC, which has a boiling point well above 300° F. And once this method was put into practice, a noticeable difference in consistency of potency was very apparent. It was determined through science and anecdotal evidence that this procedure is necessary to produce great cannabis infused edibles.

I found this scientific study of a variety of times and temps for best decarboxylation. It stated: "The decarboxylation reaction has been studied in the range of 90140 °C. Under the experimental conditions, the highest yield to D9-THC was obtained at 110 °C (230 F) for 110 min. Most preferably the decarboxylation step is conducted at temperatures and for times which ensure at least 97% conversion of the acid cannabinoids to their neutral form, whilst ensuring thermal degradation of THC to CBN is less than 5%."
