Care to elaborate..

I just did :jay:
Step 1 Decarb
Step 2 make butter the way you like.

Without decarbing you lose 70-75% of the potential potency because only 25-30% of the THCa is converted to THC if you do not decarb.

I guess what i mean. Is what is the process of decarb.  Im not familiar with that term.

D3Dman:
Decarbing is heating up your marijuana at low temps (usually low temp in the oven) to convert more cannabinoids into digestible THC.

I always thought that the heat used in the cooking/infusing process decarbed the marijuana at the same time as it infused the butter, though, so I still think I must be missing something.

In order for cannabis to convert THCa into THC it has to lose a C02 molecule. It cannot do this efficiently in a pool of hot oil. It will decarb enough to "work" but no where near the potency it could be if you simply decarb first.  Get a nice glass pan and place your bud in it and cover tightly with foil, place in middle rack at 240 for 30-45 minutes. Let cool for up to 1/2 hour before breaking the seal so all the vapors settle back down into the weed that were released into vapor from the heat.

Then add it to your favorite butter recipe. Mine is 8-10 hours in a crockpot with high fat butter and a few tablespoons of organic coconut oil. The coconut oil has rare properties and is able to absorb much more THC per fat molecule than ordinary butter.

Thanks for the post, Swisha.

I've made quite a bit of THC infused butter over time, but I haven't tried decarbing it first yet. That may have to be this week's experiment in the lab... :Smokey:
