Cooking With Cannabis

[Truth Seeker]

First and Foremost I would like to teach you a trick regarding decarboxylation (the awakening of the euphoric and psychedelic aspects of Cannabis)

By placing your cannabis you plan to cook with on a piece of tin foil and placing in the oven at at temperature of approximately 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70 Degrees Celsius) for a period of 30 minutes will dry out the cannabis and decarboxylate the active ingredients.

Here is a nice chart I created to help when choosing temperatures (Remember, if you go over these temperatures you will ruin the active ingredients and will demolish your chances of having a danky little cannabis treat)

Great trick and chart Truth Seeker. Here is a nice cannabutter recipe I like to use.

I use 1 ounce of ground/chopped bud (leave it chunky.) I bake that in the oven on top of parchment paper placed on a cookie sheet @ 225*F. Let bake for 40-50 minutes.

I take 1 pound of unrefined coconut oil, put it in the crock pot on low, and add my material. After I hear it sizzling I turn it down to simmer and let it cook for 8 hours. I then strain it through cheese cloth and refrigerate. I don't add water at any stage.

Use as any oil /butter substitute.

I did 250F for 60 minutes - let's see how it works. Some of what I've been reading says more of the co2 will bedriven off and convert more of the THC-A to THC.

I did 35 grams at 240 for 25 minutes and stirred things up 8 minutes. I then took said ground bud and put it in a crock pot with 1 pound of butter and a cup of water over night on low. Stir it up every few hours. Makes a good 120 cookies. I have yet to do it but read up on adding lecithin. It is supposed to amplify the effects of cannabis butter.

I'm very happy with how the decarb turned out. Did 80 gr of Nestle's Crunch mixed with 2 level teaspoons of kief. Mixed the kief with the melted choc and make 6 candies. Got a great buzz just from licking the bowl and spoon. Just need one quarter of a candy to get a great effect. Next time I'll double the chocolate.

Link recommends 220F not 160F?

I used 190 proof grain alcohol instead of butter/coconut oil for the first time.
My rational is longer shelf life? Use 3-5ml in tea. Have not tried cooking with it yet.

I picked up some Everclear. I like the label where it says INFUSE.

The original post seems a bit outdated. The correct temperture to decarb is 104c, or roughly 219F.
