Guide to Edible dosing conversions and temperatures (MUST KNOW)

[DavidBriggs]

I created these lists to help when choosing amounts and temperatures for cannabis cooking and titration


This guide helps show what happens at certain temperatures so that you do not cook off any THC or fail to infuse

Degrees Fahrenheit/Celsius Use Science in short

220 F /105 C Potency Preparation Decarboxylation occurs to its greatest potential

325-350 F / 160-175 C Cooking Bonds THC to fatty molecules

350-390 F / 175-200 Vaporizing and smoking THC boils/vaporizes from the plant material and becomes airborne




Obviously the list below is relative, if your recipe calls for one oz of leaves and trip you can substitute 1/4 oz of Kief, if however it calls for 1 oz of stems and leaves you know to substitute with 1/8 oz kief or hash

Extraction Material Equivalents Mild Potency Strong potency
Stems and Leaves 2 OZ 4 OZ
Leaves and Trim from Buds 1 OZ 2 OZ
Regular Cannabis Buds 1/2 OZ 1 OZ
Powerful Cannabis, Kief, or Hash 1/4 OZ 1/2 OZ


Salted versus Unsalted Butter for cannabutter
(Salted butter is good for cooking and stove top applications reaching higher temperatures as the Salt raises the boiling point. Unsalted butter is better for baking and sauces cooked at lower temperatures)

Never microwave Cannabis, it changes the molecules behavior and the effects can be unpredictable, often demolishes potency.

So if I have a candy thermometer, what is the best stable temperature to cook the cannabutter? Is it different if I use coconut oil? What about milk/cream, if I want to make hot chocolate or ice cream, same temp? What if I cook the butter/oil with water, will it even be able to make it above 212?

THANKS!

325-350 F / 160-175 C Cooking Bonds THC to fatty molecules

what does that mean? what kind of bonds are we talking about here?

unpredictable? like super mutant man eating weed?

Yep, i use about 3 grams of my iso oil per batch of banana bread etc, 4 grams was way too much.

 

[Mr. Hugeblunts]

How many servings (doses) do these measurements yield?

 

[Lazyman]

I can tell you for mine it's 3 grams of very pure oil per batch of banana bread/brownies/cookies, but you cut that with the butter or oil you use for baking.

I'm making ISO oil liqueur this weekend into some Kahlua, so I can have pot coffee drinks I used to be a bartender, this will be an interesting experiment!

You weigh the oil?? 3 grams. What is 3 grams of oil in liquid measurements. 1/4 cup?
I make infused Olive Oil, will this work?
Thanks for the help.
