:icon_scratch: Do you think the the trim would heat up enough to have a high effect if I were to slow cook it in a flax seed cracker mix in a dehydrator at a temp of 118 degrees for a long time? Say 24-30 hours? Would it vaporize at some point? I want to incorporate the meds into raw food treats like flaxseed crackers which as a rule take 24 hours or more to cook (at 118 degrees). Everything soaks and marinades for 24 hours before going into the dehydrator. So I'm thinking I'd add the meds in with the veggies and flax seeds after they've soaked. These would be for my healthy eating patients to offer a good buz while pumping up their enzyme intake. __________________
Why not just do this to prep the ganja first and then do exactly as you are planning? I'm fairly sure 118f isn't hot enough to do the trick. It's certainly not hot enough to vaporize the THC.
dont worry about the low heat, it will not be a problem. You can of course just mix finely ground bud or trim into anything you cook, and it will do the job. Heating the bud with alcohol or oil is just a way to carboxylate (i think thats the term) the thc, making it more efficient and slightly increasing potency. Also, this allows the thc to be tranfered to an edible medium without including the plant matter. On the other hand, heat also breaks down thc, so going above 300 degrees, or extended periods of heat can harm the potency of the final product. I would have to say try the method you suggested. Your concerns about not being hot enough really aren't necessary, but i might be a little concerned about having it at 118 degrees for 24 hours, which could degrade the thc. I just dont know.
I'm gonnagive it a try.., Thanks for the go get em' support. The only way to find out for sure is to try it.:fly:
I'm thinking that the low temps for an extended time would only dry out the bud and wouldn't be hot enough fully decarboxylate it. That's just my opinion, I could be (and probably am) wrong. I know 220o F for 20min works great, I do it at least once a month. Just make sure you use an accurate thermometer.
