Decarboxylation recipe
What Is Decarboxylation?
Decarboxylation is a chemical process that transforms the inactive molecule into an active compound. The process of turning THCA, which doesn’t have any psychoactive effects, into THC is known as decarboxylation. The cannabis plant typically contains THCA instead of THC before it's heated or smoked. Decarboxylation is essential when processing cannabis for eating. When you eat cannabis, the bud often isn’t fully decarboxylated. But there’s always a way to produce more of those aromatic terpenes.
To make cannabis edibles or tinctures, the first step is decarboxylation.
Here's a simple process for turning marijuana into a usable form. Decarbing, or subjecting the weed to high temperatures (~250°F/120°C) for about 30 minutes before using it in your recipe, can increase potency.
When smokers or vaporizers smoke or vaporize weed, it will turn into hash. The decarboxylation process happens first when you heat the fire/vaporizer. When you smoke marijuana, the heat turns the THC in your cannabis to THCA. When inhaled, you feel its effects.
Decarbing helps to break the plant down and extract much of our coveted terpenes, but it still leaves everything that’s good on the bud.
Decarboxylation occurs whenever you heat raw cannabis. Decarbing your cannabis at regular temperatures without heating it is the same as what happens naturally over time. Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxylic acid group from the parent molecule.
