Cannabis Decarboxylation 4 Different Ways (At 6:21- 200°F not 200°C)

Join Chef Cody and CEO of Spartan Wellness, Riad Byne, show you how to decarb cannabis 4 different ways. (At 6:21- 200°F not 200°C)

Cannabis decarboxylation is the process of heating raw cannabis to activate its compounds, such as THC and CBD, by removing a carboxyl group from the molecules. This transformation is necessary to convert the non-psychoactive THCA and CBDA into their psychoactive forms.

To decarboxylate cannabis, start by preheating your oven to 220-245°F (105-120°C). Grind your cannabis into a fine consistency and spread it evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet in the oven and bake for about 30-45 minutes, or until the cannabis turns light brown.

It's crucial to monitor the temperature during this process to avoid exceeding the limit. Using an oven thermometer can help ensure accuracy. Going above 300°F (150°C) can risk degrading the cannabinoids and terpenes.

Once decarboxylated, you can use the cannabis to make edibles, tinctures, or infusions. Remember, decarboxylation is an essential step to activate the desired compounds in cannabis, so it's important to follow the process carefully to achieve the desired effects.
