Make It: Decarb, Infuse, Extract

DecarbInfuseExtract

Making edibles, oils and tinctures from cannabis follows three steps: decarboxylate to activate it, infuse it into a fat or alcohol or extract to concentrate it, then dose it. Get the order right and the rest is detail. This is the map.

1. Decarboxylate

Raw cannabis makes THCA, not THC. Heat converts it, and getting the temperature and time right is the single biggest lever on strength.

2. Infuse

Decarbed cannabis goes into a fat or alcohol so you can cook with it or dose it.

3. Extract (stronger)

Concentrated extracts pull the actives out of the plant for potent oils.

Then dose and cook

Once you have an infused base, calculate the dose and put it to work.

The workflow

Decarb, then infuse or extract, then dose. Skipping or rushing decarb is the most common reason home edibles come out weak.
