How to decarboxylate cannabis flowers?

Decarboxylation of cannabis leaves is an important step for several reasons. In addition to removing toxins and pollutants such as fertilizer residues, it also removes the bitter taste of cannabis that comes from chlorophyll.

During their growth, cannabis flowers produce a large amount of cannabinoids, which are composed of CBDA (cannabic acid) and THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid). Although they have a virtuous character, the molecules whose effects are known to remain THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). It is thus thanks to decarboxylation that CBDA and THCA are transformed into these molecules.

Consider removing leaves that do not have cannabinoids before you start decarboxylating cannabis flowers. Then heat them under high temperature. You have the option to put the leaves in the oven at first, and then continue the process in the pan. The decarboxylation step in the oven is not mandatory but remains beneficial.

To decarboxylate in the oven, start preheating your oven to a temperature of 110 degrees. Spread the chopped cannabis leaves upstream on a surface covered with parchment paper and let them heat for 45 minutes. Remember to monitor regularly while turning the plant material during the process. Do not hesitate to shorten the duration if the cannabis turns out to be too heated.

The steps to follow to make Marrakech butter

First step: rinsing the cannabis leaves.

We advise you to boil the cannabis leaves in a saucepan for a period of 10 minutes at first. This helps to rinse them and improve their taste. Do not worry, the active ingredients of cannabis are not lost with contact with water. Let the cannabis heat over low heat and then drain thoroughly.

To do this, it is enough to lay them on clean cloth supported by a colander or container. Do not rush them because it may trigger a loss. In case you have not followed the decarboxylation steps in the oven, take the time to cut the cannabis into small leaves. This will help the cannabinoid substances integrate more easily into butter.

Third step: the extraction of cannabis with the fat

Empty your pan to replace it with a liter of clean water and boil it over low heat. Include the cannabis and butter in the pan. Simmer the mixture for 3 to 6 hours.

To perform the separation, use clean laundry as a filter when you pour the contents into your container. Press hard to make sure you extract the butter from the cannabis. All you have to do is let the liquid cool in your fridge for 24 hours.
