Step 2: Decarboxylation 

this is the most important part of cannabis cooking that has to be performed well, for this is the part where you carefully extract the medicinal properties that weeds contain.

With enough knowledge and skill in the decarboxylation of cannabis, success will be achieved without losing anything from your cannabis and without wasting money, time, and energy as well. 

To start with the decarboxylation process, turn on your oven and preheat it at 240 degrees Fahrenheit or 110 degrees Celsius. Then, prepare your cannabis buds by breaking them down into smaller pieces and putting them in a dish covered with parchment paper.

Put the dish containing the buds into the oven and set it to 30 to 40 minutes. Wait for the buds to be golden brown before opening and taking the dish out. If it is also that color, take out the dish and let the marijuana buds to cool down for a while. Lastly, put the golden buds into a food processor.

Step 3: Infusion

Put a medium-sized saucepan into the stove to boil. When the water is already boiling, put in the sticks of butter that you have prepared and then let it melt for a while. Lower the heat and add the cannabis buds you decarbed earlier. Keep the cannabis floating into 1.5 to 2 inches above. This shall be completed after three hours or until it becomes thick. Place the mixture into a cheesecloth-lined up in a bowl. Squeeze the cheesecloth so you can get the liquid that’s left. After an hour of cooling it, leave it inside the fridge until the texture becomes something like a spread. 

Step 4: Mix Only the Right Amount of Cannabis Into the Edibles 

according to an article, 10 percent THC is fine to be consumed and that every 1 gram of cannabis is equivalent to 1,000 mg of its weight when dry. So, it means that 100mg is the allowed amount that’s 10% THC of a 1,000 mg dried cannabis. In the case of cooking cannabis cookies, the right dosage to be used is 11 grams only since one serving may be 700mg in all.
