Too hot, you aren't cooking a steak.

This is for informational purposes only. For medical advice or diagnosis, consult a professional. High temperatures can degrade cannabinoids and THC, including:

• THCA: The acidic form of THC, THCA, is particularly sensitive to heat. It can degrade into CBN and CBD at temperatures as low as 50°C (122°F).
• THC: THC itself is more stable than THCA, but it can still degrade at higher temperatures. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 100°C (212°F) can significantly reduce THC potency. It's important to store cannabis products in a cool, dark place to preserve their potency.

Maybe it's the recipe? After decarbing put butter and the weed into a pot, cook very gently for as long as you have time. Once you get annoyed from waiting, it's ready.

I did this a couple of times and then just normally baked brownies with it. 2-3 hours after a brownie with 0.1-0.2 g and I am flying to the moon.

Maybe you are one of those people like me who can't metabolize THC. I can eat a tray of hardcore brownies and feel a light buzz at best. I don't understand the bio-chemistry behind it, but we make fine tripsitters. Maybe that's just our very shitty superpower.

Are you sure your oven is actually 120c?

It might be hotter and your cannabinoids are being vaporised?

Try making some hot cooca. No need to decarb, as the heat from making the cocoa does that. Also, it's liquid and fat-based, so you're gonna get all your cannabinoids nicely mixed in there.

The times I was the most high was when I made cocoa. Although I put in like 15x the amount I'd have smoked or something. Hash, bud, trim. (Hash I had made myself from my own plants.) I was young and the internet didn't have as good of a cannabis culture back then.

I only drank half and I was blitzed for a solid two days.

Sounds like you’re screwing up the decarb somehow. Try a water bath decarb instead. You’ll get a slightly lower potency but i’ve never had problems extracting this way. Put your weed broken up into some butter. I use 20 grams weed with 250 grams of butter. Add 2 cups of water. Boil that for 90 minutes while keeping an eye on it. Pour that into a plastic jar that can withstand the heat and let it cool. Stick it in the fridge to let the water and butter separate. Remove the butter puck from the top and get rid of the water. You can add more water and boil the butter a second time to wash and clean the butter a bit but this step isn’t necessary every time. Fin.

Here's a super quick way - put a small pan over low-med heat, throw a little flower in and stir it around for a few minutes (like 10 minutes if your weed is fresh, less if it's old). Stir in some butter, let it melt and continue to saute for a few minutes. Pour it onto cinnamon toast eggo waffles. It's not going to get you perfect decarb, but if you're in a hurry and playing with recipes it's fine.

For better results but takes longer - Jar with weed (broken into smaller pieces but NOT GROUND) in the freezer.

Bottle of 190 proof everclear, spirytus, whatever in the freezer.

Next day- pour alcohol over weed, just enough to cover. Shake, return to freezer, watch a show, shake, strain through a coffee filter into a glass or metal low, wide bowl. Put this on low heat in any electric appliance that heats - rice cooker, air fryer,, etc. Plugging this in outdoors is good. Definitely do not do this using a gas stove - alcohol fumes are flammable! Stir occasionally to get oil off the sides of your bowl as the alcohol evaporates. Alcohol boils at 173F and you'll see big bubbles. When the alcohol is gone (no more big bubbles) you'll have a dark, thick, sticky goo. Take that to 240F and watch for tiny bubbles. Those are the little 'a' falling off your thca. When those slow down you're done - don't wait for them to completely stop or you'll make cbn and get too sleepy. Stir that into any oil for a recipe, or into butter, or put a drop on a peanut butter cracker.

Super extra delicious use - weed butter, drizzled over hot and spicy cheezits, bake until they're a little browned.

you know, I would recommend decarbing your herbs in a vaporizer. That way you get high the first time. Then keep and collect the leftovers and when you have enough for a tea spoon, sprinkle it on anything you like. Not much taste left, slightly crunchy.

Super easy to make and nothing going to waste. Works every time.

Make cannaoil capsules. That way you can find the dose that works for you. I had a similar issue when making edibles in the past. Now I just eat however many caps I think it will take.
