THC boiling point 315F Whats proper cooking temp?
- Thread starter thinkin
- Start date
Many volatile cannabinoids are disrupted simply by handling,, so the lower the temps when preparing edibles the better,, like lassie, so some ice hash in yoghurt usually works well.
When cooking with ganja (mj) leaf n buds, then the resin needs to be dissolved into an oil normally during the heating and cooking. But again the lower the temps the better, since less goodness and flavour will be burnt off or evaporate during the process of heat exposure.
heat, friction, sunlight are known to decompose resin glands quicker than anything else, so avoid them if medi
hope this helps

I use 300F and an increased cooking time. (about 5-7 minutes extra)

the brownie mix never reaches 350 degrees. think of the christmas turkey sitting in the 350 oven all day to reach 170 degrees. the turkey never gets near 350 before it is fully cooked

THAT is the reason why my brownie stuffed turkey was under cooked !
from wikipedia.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_(drug)
"A vaporizer heats herbal cannabis to 365–410 °F (185–210 °C), causing the active ingredients to evaporate into a vapor without burning the plant material (the boiling point of THC is 390.4 °F (199.1 °C) at 760 mmHg pressure)."

350-375 is for metal pans. Glass pans call for 325 and make better brownies anyway.

use lower heat and increased time... why risk wasting thc?
listen to your friend...

what does a stoner do with a laser thermometer?
measures stupid shit like the temperature of a pan of brownies while they are baking ................. don't do drugs.
betty crocker fudge brownies .... 8x8 glass pan, high altitude ..... oven @ 325... cook time 54 minutes
0 minutes pan 73 brownies 73
20 minutes pan 252 brownies 212
40 minutes pan 267 brownies 250
54 minutes pan 271.5 brownies 267
you are still almost 50 degrees short of the boiling point of THC (315?????) if you follow the recipe on the box, so why sweat it? .......... the defense rests ..... ( until i get really fuckin' high and bake some cookies) or someone thinks that a 350 degree oven would make a huge difference ...... then i get to make more brownies. it is all in the name of research

wrong ...... the boiling point of anything is when it changes from a liquid to a gas. things can evaporate too but that does not have that much to do with any specific temperature. i am still not sure that THC boils at 315 .... seems low to me
different boiling points are what make processes like distillation work.

thanks for askin thinkin. i learned somethin.
I just put the IR thermometer on the SSV, it says 315F. I'm going up to 325F....... 325 is better with no burning.... by the end of this test, I wont know shit! It's all good till I get to the 4th go and.. blasted, cant function.! 325F is where I'm staying.
EDIT: 325F is much better! I havent move that dial in many months..Thanks for asking the question, thinkin.

The boiling point of thc depends on pressure. At a deep vacuum you may indeed see a boiling point somewhere at 157C but unless you have a vacuum pump capable of this then it will not happen. Computing the boiling point of thc can be done using a single point conversion chart which plots predicted boiling points at different pressures but it is crude. Using the chart and known Pubchem data and also using the data from my vid and other experiments I have computed crudely that at standard room pressures the boiling point would approach 450C. I suspect thermal breakdown would occur well before boiling at that temp because Pubchem also lists thc delta 9 as being subject to thermal degredation. Here is my own experiement under extreme vacuum of ¾ of one micron;
