Decarb the Cannabis: This is a fundamental step as it allows the cannabis to activate its cannabinoids and, therefore, its famous effects. Simply preheat the oven to 239ºF (115°C), place the previously shredded marijuana in a baking tray, and bake it for at least 40-60 minutes.
Prepare a Cannabis-infused Mixture: Once the cannabis is decarboxylated, mix it in a saucepan with melted butter for at least 20-30 minutes. Finally, strain the contents to separate the butter from the cannabis. At this point, you’ll have a mixture of melted butter with a strong marijuana aroma but no cannabis residues.
Butter or margarine
