Can I decarboxylate kief?
Yes, you can also decarboxylate kief just like you would cannabis buds. You can use the first shake (typically blonde/yellow in color) or the second shake (more yellow/green). Place the kief in the baking dish and bake uncovered at 225° F / 110° C for 30-50 minutes, checking after about 20 minutes to be sure it is not over-baking.

Do I need special equipment to decarboxylate cannabis?
Ideally, the decarboxylation process should be done with a precise heating element or equipment, but good results can still be achieved with a conventional oven, or even a toaster oven.

Should I adjust the decarboxylation time if I am going to use it to bake weed brownies?
If your decarboxylated cannabis material will be exposed to further heat (e.g., boiling or baking), you do not want to achieve 100% decarboxylation since the additional heat will cause even more decarboxylation.

How do I decide how long to bake with cannabis?
For the maximum conversion of THCA to THC, heat the cured cannabis at 240° F for 45-60 minutes. For maximum CBD conversion heat at 240° F / 115° C for 60-90 minutes. When properly decarboxylated, the cannabis will be darker, dry, and easy to crumble. Click here to learn more about the decarboxylation process and how it applies to cooking with cannabis.

At what temperature should I decarboxylate cannabis?
When it comes to decarboxylating cannabis, the lower the temperature you use, the longer the process is going to take. However, this is not a bad thing! Using a lower temperature throughout the decarboxylation process will result in less terpenes being lost due to degradation. We suggest a 2-step method. First at 225° F / 110° C for about 20 minutes; and then at 240° F / 115° C for another 50-90 minutes.

How do you decarboxylate medical marijuana?
The predominant compounds found in cannabis are THCA and CBDA. THCA is the major cannabinoid inCannabis, while CBDA predominates in fiber-type hemps. THCA and CBDA accumulate in the secretory cavity of the glandular trichomes, which largely occur in female flowers and in most aerial parts of the plants. The concentration of these compounds depends on the variety of cannabis and its growth, harvesting and storage conditions. When locked in their acidic forms, THCA and CBDA are not bioavailable to the body’s cannabinoid receptors. Occurring either naturally within the plant, or upon “decarboxylation” (heating the plant material), these acids …
What is Decarboxylation?
Decarboxylation, as it applies to medical marijuana, is a chemical reaction that occurs when THCA and CBDA are converted to THC and CBD (respectively) as the plant is heated or under pressure. Using cannabis as a medicine begins with understanding the basic science of decarboxylation, and why it is a crucial process in making edibles, tinctures and topical treatments. To get the full medicinal value out of your cannabis, it needs to be heated to a temperature that is just not possible to obtain in the human digestive system. The major downside of decarboxylating is that some of the …
What does cannabis oil taste like?
The taste of cannabis oil (including Rick Simpson Oil) varies depending on the process used to extract the cannabinoids from the plant. However, having said that, cannabis oil generally has an earthy and bitter taste that is reminiscent of chlorophyll. The best way to ingest the oil is to tack the dosage on your lower gum line and let it dissolve on its own within a few minutes, much like you would any infused sublingual. As you start to increase your dosage over time, you will begin to get more and more familiar with the flavor and it will …
Where can I buy Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)?
The only way to know that you have the real thing is to produce cannabis oil yourself. There are many criminals who say that they are producing Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) using Rick’s name. Rick Simpson has no connection with these suppliers and he has no involvement with the “Phoenix Tears Foundation” from the U.S., although there is a link on their web site which leads to his web site and Facebook page. Please note: This foundation is different than phoenixtears.ca — Rick Simpson’s official website. Click here to learn more about Rick Simpson Oil (RSO).
How is Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) different than CBD oil?
This is a loaded question. To understand how Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) and CBD oil are different, one must first understand that there are many different types of CBD oil currently available on the market. The first type of CBD oil is whole-plant oil derived from the highly resinous buds of the cannabis plant and is only legal in MMJ-friendly states because it contains other minor cannabinoids (although CBD is the most abundant cannabinoid in these types of products). The second type of CBD oil is usually marketed as legal across all 50 states and typically sources industrial hemp (non-psychoactive …
