If you don't decarb it, then the THC isn't active, which means you would need to heat it up during consumption (like bowl/joint or vaporizer).

If you don't do that, it really won't do much, if anything at all. So yeah, I'm a little confused by your comment here.

The easiest way to do this is to put 1 oz of material in a crock pot with 4 cups of coconut oil on low heat. There is coconut oil that will remain liquid, and also the kind that hardens up. You can use whichever you prefer, but coconut oil is best because of the high fat, which absorbs the THC.

If you don't decarb, you can leave it sit for 6 - 8 hours (or however long you want to make it a little stronger). Stir it every hour or so. It actually will decarb during the first couple of hours this way.

If you do decarb it, then the whole process will be much quicker because you can have it in the crock pot for a couple of hours and get the same affect, or again, leave it a little longer for a little stronger.

To strain, use an old t-shirt that you cut a large piece out of, or a rag that's thin so you can see the tiny holes in it. Lay it inside a large bowl so it lines the inside of the bowl, and then carefully poor the oil into the bowl. Pull the sides of the shirt piece up all around, and then you lift it up and see most of the oil fall right through. Then you can twist it up really tight and squeeze as much as possible out of the material.

Best to use a bowl with a pouring spout on it, and then you can easily poor back into the original oil bottle. You'll see you didn't lose much in the process.

At this point it should be a dark green, almost black, and you'll know you did things right.

To make all of this even easier...

1. Ardent Decarboxylator - https://amzn.to/30gqXHK
2. Magical Butter - https://amzn.to/30ekFsg

Put the material in the Ardent, and let it sit for about an hour.

Then put it in the Magical butter with your butter/oil/alcohol/vegetable glycerin, push the matching button, and wait another couple of hours.

You can easily make butter, oil for cooking or capsules, or tinctures for gummies or just to consume directly.

Also, side tip, if you use your oven for decarb and/or a regular crock pot this will stink up the whole house for a couple of days. Using the Ardent and MagicalButter will avoid that.

Heard it from a friend of a friend...
I guess I worded that wrong. It's usually a 2 step process, but with sous vide you just add an extra hour for decarb. Another good thing with doing it the Sous Vide way is there is no smell. The mason jar keeps all the smell hidden.
