Are you absolutely sure about that? The reason I ask is that Master Wu in the Green Dragon thread advises 325 for 5 minutes, and gets great results in the final product, and apparently so did others. I tried to look it up myself, but besides wikipedia, I'm not sure where I'd find out what the evap temp of thc is.
As for me, I didn't really feel much from the butter I made, but that means nothing given that my weed is shit. In all fairness, the guy sold me about 30grams for 15 Euros. I thought it was a good deal since I'd be cooking with it. apparently not ) |
Hi Dark,
Yeah, you'll find more info if you try a 'THC Vaporisation point' search.
The companies that make 'vaporizers' for example, tend to provide a fairly comprehensive break down of the differing temperature ranges and what happens to the terpenoids, CBD, CBG THC etc at each stage.
Think of it like water. When you boil a kettle although the boiling point of water is 100 degrees centigrade, you'll see wisps of steam start evaporating long before that temperature is reached.
With THC it's just the same.
325 degrees F for five minutes is no problem (it's not long enough to do any harm), but if you left it in the oven for say fifteen minutes the chances are you'll have evaporated more THC than you'll have created by decarboxylating the inert compounds.
That's one of the reasons I always suggest cooking brownies etc at a lower heat for longer.
