![]() ![]() Then you can easily infuse the bud with a medium of choice, such as butter, oil, alcohol, glycerine, or Medium-Chain Triglyceride oils. Once this step is done, you have a decarboxylated cannabis flower. You will heat the buds until they are dry and the THC is released. Typically, decarboxylation occurs in an oven when making edibles or tinctures at home. If you plan to make your own edibles or tinctures from marijuana, you’re going to have to decarboxylate the flower first. But when you plan to cook with or create a tincture from marijuana flower, you must first decarboxylate it by heating the plant over an extended period of time. The heat of the flame releases the THC in the weed instantaneously – essentially decarboxylating the weed. Think about it like this, when you regularly consume cannabis flower - you use a lighter to ignite the bud. THC is the cannabinoid that creates the classic euphoric “stoned” effect for consumers. Decarboxylation is necessary to convert that THCA into THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). ![]() In its raw form, cannabis contains an abundance of non-psychoactive THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid). In the simplest sense, decarboxylation (also known as “ decarbing“) allows the marijuana plant to get you “high.” In this piece, we’ll walk through decarboxylating cannabis, what it means, why it’s necessary, and what it’s for - including the necessary steps for you to decarboxylate cannabis at home!
