Help!! - I Forgot To Decarb Before Adding Oil

Discussion in 'Weed Edibles' started by Monkey55, Aug 17, 2019.

    Hey Peeps,

    I must have had a a brain freeze or lock-up because I divided my herb, then just poured the olive oil without decarb’ing it.

    So now, I have raw herb sitting in olive oil.

    Is there anything I can do to save it? I do have a hot plate and slow cooker.

    Thanks

    This happens to most of us at least once.
    According to tincture pro PsychadelicSam, an in-oil decarb is possible, but the oil makes it take much longer.
    If I'm remembering correctly, instead of 240 F for 40 min in air, in oil 240 F decarbs in 2.5 hours.

    You could try this with a small portion, and if it's not up to par, try something else.

    An oven is a more regulated heat so that is the first choice. 240 F for 2 hours. Sample, If not potent divide in half and heat half an additional 2 hours. Compare effects and you'll know to continue heating the 2nd half or not.

    Hot plate or slow cookers are unregulated and you should use something like a candy thermometer to keep an eye on temps.
