Equipment

  • Baking tray or oven dish
  • Foil (optional - helps preserve terpenes)

Materials

  • Dried Cannabis Buds, Shake or Trim (desired amount)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).
  • Weigh up the amount of cannabis you want to decarboxylate.
  • Break apart or crumble your cannabis and remove any unwanted seeds and stems.
  • Spread the cannabis into an even layer on a baking paper lined tray or dish. If you do not have baking paper, you can put the cannabis directly on the tray/dish.
  • Cover the tray/dish tightly with foil then put it into the pre-heated oven and bake your weed for 25-35 minutes.
  • Half way through baking, give your cannabis a little shake to mix it around and evenly decarb. Try not to remove the lid while doing this if possible.
  • After 25-35 minutes in the oven, check on your cannabis to see if it's ready. It should now have turned slightly light brown'ish and be very dry. If it is not yet done, put it back into the oven until it is done. Check on it regularly to ensure it does not burn.
  • Remove your cannabis from the oven and let it cool down with the cover still on. Let the vapours and aromas settle back into the herb before you take off the cover. Once cooled (5-10 minutes), your decarbed cannabis is now ready to use.

Notes

Home ovens can have unreliable temperature readings so we recommend using an external oven thermometer with a probe for better temperature readings.
