Making Marijuana Infused Oil On The Blockchain: A "How To" Guide

in marijuana •  7 years ago 

A pressure cooker at 250F or a closed mason jar in an oven at 250F are no different. I use a cookie sheet because I start with frozen trim but its the same thing - 250F in the oven. As I stated " decarbing properly is the single most important step". Its weed not rocket science..

Unfortunately, it is not that straight forward and I wish it were that easy.
Oven temperatures differ from oven to oven and type of oven to type of oven. A gas or propane oven doesn't not heat evenly or consistently so temperatures can fluctuate. Electric ovens do better at maintaining temperature, but still have limitations. I have tested many ovens (gas, propane, electric, toaster) with stand-alone temperature probes.
Also, water boils at 212 degrees F at sea level, so if someone were to just boil a mason jar, in boiling water on a stove top in a open pot, they will never achieve the proper decarb temperature. A pressure cooker when sealed an up to temperature, uses the internal pressure created from the boiling water inside to exceed 212 degrees F and boosts the temperature consistently and holds the internal temperature at 250 degrees F. It makes the decarb process more even and at the end of the day activates more medicine from the plant material.
I work with and help really sick people who need to pull as much medicine out of their plant material as they can. This is why I have studied the decarb process, to this level.
