Frequently Asked Questions
What is decarboxylation?
Decarboxylation is the process of heating cannabis to convert THCA (non-psychoactive) into THC (psychoactive). Typical oven decarb at 240°F for 40 minutes achieves around 85-90% efficiency.
How long do edibles take to kick in?
Edibles typically take 30 minutes to 2 hours to take effect, depending on metabolism, stomach contents, and individual tolerance. Always wait at least 2 hours before consuming more.
Why does the amount of fat/oil matter?
THC is fat-soluble and binds to fats during infusion. Using the right ratio of flower to fat ensures proper extraction. Too little fat may not absorb all available THC; too much dilutes potency per volume.
