    wondering cause a couple friends and i made some oil today.

    1. ground up herb in coffee grinder about 7.5g, super super shake
    2. placed in pot with around 1/2 cup canola oil
    3. never allowed to go above a simmer (light bubbles)
    4. after about 25 minutes, and constant stiring, it looked as if the actual plant material was burning, as smoke was coming off. (i know that oil has a "smoke point" but this looked more like by-product from the plant material, and i dont think that we got the oil to the canola smoke point temp using the low-mid heat on an electric stove)
    5. when we went to strain it, oil was extremely dark golden brown, with a lot of burnt plant material (very small black gunk)
    6 strained thru a coffee filter, tasted a small amount and it was alright, didnt taste bad
    7. proceeded to make brownies
    8. they look like they are supposed to


    any ideas?

    95% sure you can't smoke that oil. Isn't all of the oil in the brownies anyway?

    Look into BHO if you want to smoke some potent oil.

    Enjoy the brownies though man.

    Edit: sorry misunderstood. The brownies will be fine. And yes THC does vaporize at a certain temperature but thats around 385 degrees ( i believe )

    ya, actually i was wondering if i might have burnt the oil in the pan, or destroyed the THC in the oil creation process, because of the black aftermass of the leftover bud.

    when with THC break down due to heat? and is a light simmer with canola oil too much heat for it to have handled? does anyone have experience with this particular area that might be able to offer some insight?

    thanks

    THC will combust but it takes a Bic lighter a few seconds of direct contact to get it going.

    I post in a lot of sites and hands down the most cynical and snotty responses come from grasscity lolz! When I see an email that a response has happened from a forum and it is grasscity I groan sort of because this crowd sort of stands out that way but its all part of the fun, right? I appreciate your opinion.

    I hope my continued participation brings you no further grief.

    No grief just amusing.
    We do get a bit cynical after enough time.

    I've learned a lot by reading old stuff that has been tried and proven or not that it works.
