Here’s the problem.
When making RSO out of the White Widow CBD, I forgot to decarboxylate one batch, making it all but ineffective for topical usage or in edibles.Proposed solution:
I can take an oil like MCT, butter or even vegetable oil, dissolve the RSO into it and then raise the temperature of the solution to 245 – 250°F and hold it at that temp for 30 min or longer. So you think that would work? Will I successfully decarb my RSO?If I put the RSO in the oven at 245F, it’ll burn on me or turn into tar. I think using the oil as a buffer and as a heatsink to break apart the THCa molecule without damaging the product itself could be feasible.
It would be a shame to throw it out. It’s 2.5oz of awesome CBD bud. When I take some, I feel like I’m walking on clouds. Everything feels so gentle and pain free like moving in water. Very very effective.
Anyone ever try something like this? Anyone have any ideas of this will work?

How are you making the RSO? The oil decarbs if you’re using heat to evaporate the alcohol. Decarboxylation doesn’t need high heat. You can quickly decarb at high temps (250F for 10 minutes) or slowly decarb at lower temps 100-120F for 4 hours). Save some terps, go slow and low.

Cold evaporation. Takes a few days, but I figured we go through all the trouble of using frozen everclear and keeping everything cold, then throw it into a double boiler. It’s 99% alcohol it’ll evaporate even in your fridge.
That’s why I know for sure it’s not decarbed. I think I might go for the higher heat method simply because I’m trying to decarb the CBD it’ll need the heat more so than THC would. Then quickly cool it by adding it to the cookie mix or the medicated salve before it sets. Flash activation 😅

Thanks for the info. Super helpful👍. It’s the times that I’m most unsure of
