RE: What’s All The Hype About Edibles And Are They Better Than Smoking ?
Thanks for replying.
Am I correct in believing that the heat generated in producing the coconut oil will activate the THC, whereas the alcohol tincture, not being heated will only produce the THC- A?
I am really happy with the coconut oil I have made but the coconut oil I used solidifies which isnt easy to dispense.
If I didnt want the active THC and wanted to give the tincture to someone medcinally, would I just then have to mention not to take whilst consuming alcohol?
I do appreciate your insight - thanks 😁
I think this is the case but I have never tested the validity of it because when I have made an alcohol based tincture, I have always decarbed my cannabis first to fully activate it. If you do the decarb first, you’ll pull more medicine out of the plant. This is the same when you make your coconut oil infusion, if you decarb the cannabis first, then make your infusion you’ll pull way more medicine out of your herb. Also, if you switch to medium chain triglyceride coconut oil (from long chain) your infusion will stay in a liquid state and absorb faster once eaten. :)
Thanks - much appreciated.
