• In order to decarb your cannabis using your oven, you’ll want to preheat that bad boy to 220°. You can go as high as 240° if you like, but anything higher than that will render your entire batch of bud useless, and that’s (obviously) the last thing we want to happen. So, be sure to keep a watchful eye on that temperature level.
• As your oven warms up, you’ll want to grab your desired amount of preferred cannabis flower. The quantity of bud fully depends on what recipe you are planning to make. Or, if you’re just looking to equip yourself with a hearty supply of decarbed bud for future baking endeavors, by all means, grab as much cannabis as you’d like.
• Regardless of the quantity, the decarboxylation process will remain the same.
• However much bud you decide to use, you'll want to grind up those nugs - but not too much. Anything too fine will increase the chances of your batch getting burned. So, aim to make the broken down pieces roughly the size of a grain of rice. Then, you’ll want to place them atop a baking sheet lined with a piece of parchment paper.
• You’ll definitely need that parchment paper as a barrier between your bud and the surface of the sheet, as the metal material will likely reach a temperature too hot for the decarboxylation to successfully complete its THC transformation duties.
• Also, when your oven reaches that desired temperature level, be sure to place that baking sheet sprinkled with broken-down buds on the middle rack. As the top and bottom of the oven offer up different degrees of heat, so wanting to ensure a balanced bake, make sure to aim for the middle.
• Once you’ve got that sheet of cannabis in the oven, leave it in there for 35-40 minutes. This should be the perfect amount of time for the THCA, through the low and slow heating approach, to transform into everybody’s favorite cannabinoid, THC. When that time period has elapsed, simply remove the baking sheet from the oven, and that’s it.
• You’ve now got a stash of decarboxylated marijuana that can be used to infuse THC into any sort of recipe you can think of.

Cannabis-Infused Butter Instructions

• Let’s say you were interested in making a cannabis-infused butter. Well, now you totally can!
• In order to accomplish that impromptu goal, place a large saucepan over a trusted heat source set on “Medium.” In that saucepan, place two sticks of butter, along with one cup of room temperature water. Allow that butter to fully melt before proceeding onward.
• When that butter has reached its desired melted consistency, pick up your decarboxylated bud, and toss it in the saucepan. For a proper butter recipe, I’d say you’d want somewhere between 8-10 grams of decarbed, newly-activated cannabis in order for the potency to reach an enjoyable level of strength.
• Stir those two ingredients together a bit, but then leave them alone to simmer for around 3 hours. Every now and then, go back to check on the contents of the saucepan. Make sure they’re not burning, and stir them periodically. The stirring will help ensure that the THC in the bud is being evenly dispersed throughout every drop of that melted butter.
• When those 3+ hours have come and gone, you can finally remove the saucepan from the heat source.
• At this point, you’ll need a container to store it in, right? Feel free to use whatever container you think would work best. There are really no wrong answers here.
• Over the top of that container, secure a piece of cheesecloth with a couple of rubber bands. This cheesecloth is the perfect straining material for this recipe. It will prevent any floral components in the saucepan from making their way into the butter. Then, when that’s all set and ready to go, pick up your saucepan, and gingerly pour the contents into the container, through the cheesecloth.
• After you’ve adequately strained out the unwanted properties of the bud, discard the cheesecloth full of used cannabis, and place that butter-filled container into the fridge to toughen up to a more “butter-like” consistency. When you’re happy with how everything looks, you can then feel free to use that butter on, well, anything that you’d normally use butter for.
• But that’s pretty much it. Not only did you just learn how to decarboxylate your weed with your oven, but you learned how to properly whip up a batch of infused butter, too! Nicely done.
• Now, armed with this new knowledge, your cannabis culinary possibilities are truly endless!
