In this guide, you will learn more about how you can use just plain, decarbed cannabis in your edibles - without the need for lengthy infusions or extractions - to make quick and easy, delicious edibles at home.
Decarb your cannabis flower according to the time and temperature recommendations for your specific cannabinoid. Find recommendations in the notes section below.
After the decarb process is complete, add the decarbed flower to a grinder. It can be a traditional cannabis grinder, or what I recommend, a coffee grinder, for a super fine consistency.
You are now left with a fine cannabis powder. Either add this powder directly to your edible recipe of choice, or store it for future use.
To store for future use, add the ground, decarbed flower to an airtight container, like a mason jar, with a tight-fitting lid.
This can be stored for several weeks or even months. For long-term storage and to preserve the potency of the flower, store it in the freezer.
Notes
Important Dosing Note: This is a very powerful and potent method of consumption. If you follow this method, I recommend investing in a digital scale that can measure milligrams and following my safe dosing practices. The best way to start is to microdose; start with a dose that is 0.1 grams and work your way up as needed.Decarb Time and Temperature Recommendations:
The most common recommendation for decarboxylating THCA to THC is to bake the flower at 240° F for 40 minutes.
The most common recommendation for decarboxylating CBDA to CBD is to bake the flower at 240°F for 90 minutes.
The most common recommendation for decarboxylating CBGA to CBG is to bake the flower at 220°F for 60 minutes.
The most common recommendation for degrading THC to CBN is to bake the flower at 240°F for 180 minutes.
