My friends and I use spoons, some olive oil in a spoon, grind the weed or break up the hash and put it in the oil, in the spoon.

Heat up with a lighter underneath, or you can hover it over gas hobs. Careful not to spill any of the oil as it heats up and expands a little and you moving the heat around the bottom of the spoon.

It will start to bubble - decarboxylation; once it's stopped bubbling, or bubbling less then it's decarbed. You don't want it to get too hot, just enough to bubble, and then bubbling subside.

Dunk hot THC oil from the spoon into a full fat yoghurt or similar, or full fat milk, whatever - to cool it and help it absorb in you.

And then consume! Takes like 5 mins :)

Edit: just to highlight the "quick and dirty" part of my question 🙏 I'm talking low tek, low effort methods, not aeropressing or distilling crystals or whatever! Think strugglemeals 🤣

Saucepan with butter + ground up weed, heat but don't boil until it's dark green like olive oil. Strain, cool, use to bake.

While I can sorta appreciate the aesthetic choice of heating it on spoons like it was hard drugs, why wouldn't you just use a frying pan and do a bunch of oil at the same time? This method seems dangerous and impractical enough that it'd be fun to try once or twice as a joke but that's it.

the water content in butter makes it taste vegetal. To each their own, but I prefer coconut oil. I do it for a few hours sous vide, can’t remember the temperature, for a gentle de carb. I run it through an Aeropress to strain.

I remember reading somewhere that animal fats are the best to absorb THC, which is why I always use full fat butter or something similar.

smoke flower with a desktop vape, eat the leftover ABV directly (or break it up with your fingers and put it into whatever food or recipe you're making) - much better than trying to not spill oil out of a spoon and wasting a ton of lighter fluid & getting its residue all over your weed 🤢

honest question: are you a teenager?

coconut oil might be better, tho

Good to know, thanks.

I got a $2 glass dropper & vial. If I get a strain I don't like the taste of, I throw it in the bottle without the dropper part, wrap the top with aluminum foil tightly. Set my toaster oven to about 225 and let it run for an hour or so. After it cools normally, through it in the freezer for the night. Shake vigorously in the morning and then add some high proof alcohol and the rubber dropper but, then shake it whenever I think about it.

Take sublingually, and it hits within the hour.

Hard drugs or aesthetics has never crossed my mind tbh but I can see that! 🤣 it is just that a spoon is the right size if you just want one hit/dose, the right material to be heated and is small enough to heat up everything and be done in 5minutes :)

This is like the edible version of hot knifing if you never heard of that

I personally don't find a hot spoon a particularly dangerous thing to deal, especially after witnessing and doing this myself for over a decade.. but each to their own!

I'm a 34 and able to use a lighter without squirting lighter fluid out of it 🤣🤣

honest question - how come you ask? Or were you just being toxic? 😶

I made some super lethal flapjacks with this before, and a 1/4 of hash was stoned for 2 days 👀

I have a faint memory of reading about someone making edibles with chocolate spread, crackers and a microwave, anyone have any insight on this??

would be great to know if its a dud or not 🙏

Whilst I appreciate your comment and your methods, I was more asking for a quick and dirty stoner engineering type tek. Interested if you have any other less refined quicker methods YiddishMcSquidish🙏

oh, my point wasn't about accidentally leaking fluid, but about how inefficient BIC lighters burn and how they leave icky residue and will contaminate your edibles with butane - it's just not an ideal way to decarb your flower, for lots of reasons

and I ask because it just sounds like something a teenager would do, I found it hard to imagine an adult wanting to make edibles by heating a spoonful of oil with a BIC lighter ... sure, I would say it comes across as immature, but I don't mean to be toxic about it, sorry 🫤

the thread you chose to reply to is literally "quick and dirty edibles", I can see you didn't understand that as your answer was vape hits and eating weeks/months worth of avb 🤣

No hard feelings but not sure what else to say✌️✌️✌️😁

I guess I see ABV as a waste product, so eating it as an edible feels very "quick and dirty" to me, at least

otherwise I don't have much to add, when I'm decarbing a bunch of flower to make edibles, I bake them at a particular temp and then grind them up, put them in oil, then strain - the strained off flower and oil I actually use and eat first, particularly medicinally, and the more refined stuff is good for cooking / baking.

But I rarely bother, and just eat ABV as my "quick and dirty" edible option
