Dos and Don’ts of Baking with Cannabis
Decarboxylation is the key to creating potent, flavorful, and delicious weed desserts. This process alters the chemical structure of cannabinoid compounds known as THCA and converts them into active THC molecules that deliver psychoactive effects.
Fun fact: When you buy legal cannabis flowers, the THC levels listed on the packaging are an estimation of how much THC is present after decarboxylation.
Failing to decarb your marijuana decreases the intensity of your weed desserts. Consider decarbing your cannabis buds in advance and storing them in airtight jars to save time.
Check out this brief guide on how to decarboxylate marijuana:
- Break the cannabis buds into small pieces.
- Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Put them in the oven at 220–245℉ for 30–40 minutes.
- Once they’ve cooled down, store them in airtight glass containers and incorporate them into your baking recipes.
