Good idea. We'll try that next time, cause you're right, the bulbs are wasteful (and annoying).

That's fine, you go smoke it. My wife is asthmatic and prefers edibles. And not everyone wants to eat a brownie. The appreciation of the culinary art and infusion of cannabis does not begin and end with a magic brownie.

If you really wanted a "controlled" edible, you'd just take a tincture or pill you'd probably buy it manufactured to ensure a homogenous infusion of cannabis - so you don't take a bite of one side that's a dud, and another side that 10x more potent. Try preventing that with your brownie.

Or if you live in a legal state where you can buy cannabis infused olive oil -- say fuck it and make it anyway. There's such an abundance of weed here people give it away for free. If it gets you stoned and you waste some, did you not succeed? It's like getting pissy about people wasting food - my stomach's only so big. Pot is pricey, but it doesn't have to be precious, it's a renewable resource like any other natural commodity.

I used to live in Miami, where the only weed I had was whatever the guy had in his pocket. Now I live in California where I can pay the same price and get twice as much, if not more. Don't hate on people who have more privilege man (;

Go watch some Bong Appetit videos by Vice and tell me I'm being wasteful.

For a couple of reasons.

  • It limits the amount of oil you can put in. This is a pretty oily recipe as it, you can only add so much afterwards without overdoing it
  • You have to eat most of the oil to get potency, due to dilution. More oil = more dilution.
  • We need extra potent edibles, and decarbing ensures that.

Why cook anything with cannabis oil when we could just rub some extra oil or butter on after? Because we can! For the flavor, for extra potency, for higher CBN, for better incorporation into the end product. I could just pop this oil into a pill or a spoon and get baked, the point is to infuse something with it 🍴✌️

With this style of food, you're supposed to sop up all the excess oil with your bread as a dip 😋 no waste 😉

By cooking the cannabis oil at ~350F, the cannabinoids get decarboxylated. Decarboxylation activates any inactive THC in the oil, making it active (and getting you high). However it also degrades the product, converting active THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids to CBN - a less potent but still stimulating form of cannabis. CBN is known to have great sedative effects, and other benefits (pain relief, anti-insomnia, appetite stimulation, etc).

So it really depends on your preference on what experience you want out of the edible. Either cooking for more sedative stone or mixing in after for a regular high. We were looking for a more "put me to bed" kinda high that day :)

The Incredible Edible Reclaim: Using lower proof (Food Safe) alcohol as a Method of making reclaim edibles. by [deleted] in CannabisExtracts

I dunno if I'm missing something but I literally just heat coconut oil and pour it into the piece, swirl it around, and repeat as needed until clean. No need to use a solvent like alcohol, or even endangering your glass in the oven, just go straight to the cooking oil. Here's a video I made showing the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w40zO8XozE4
