Decarboxylation: Activating the THC

Before you start mixing, you need to decarboxylate your cannabis. This process activates the THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis.

• Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).

• Break up the cannabis buds into small pieces and spread them on a baking sheet.

• Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.

• Once done, the cannabis should be light brown and dry.
