Hmm... maybe not?

I was just reading this page on Decarboxylating

While only looking at this 60-minute test window..it appears as if thc does increase (who knows what happens after 60 min?? Do you?).
It looks like total cannabinoid content peaks at 30 minutes, but then decreases. Maybe 30 minutes is the magic time?

I had been doing butter for 4 hour minimum lately.... guess my next batch will be less than 45mins to see what happens.

The knowledge is sound, provided the monks are blind.

I usually cooked my past tinctures and butters 30-45 minutes. Tried the 4 year slow cooker method, but saw it as diminishing returns.

A friend does a double refinement and reduction of the hash that makes the budder, and that seems to purify and intensify the end product the most noticeably, regardless of cook time.

Better in, begets better out.
