the idea is that u powder up about 1-2 grams and sprinkle it in ur dry cup o noodles, then pour boiling hot water in, this is just a theory but im hoping the THC will be released because of the oil in Cup o noodles. Will this work? The main concern is that it wont get hot enough to release the THC?

Should i try this? It may just be a waste but will it work even alittle bit?
 
i'd put a pat of butter in to help absorb the thc, i'm not sure if theres enough fat in the cup-o-noodles by itself

it should work though
 
What concerns me is how bad that is going to taste... You're also not going to heat the bud up enough to decarboxylate the THC-COOHs. And yeah, as the other guys have said.. put in some oil.

Sounds like a waste to me.
 
it'll work but you won't get as stoned as if you smoked the two grams hehe. it's only worth eating pot if you have a lot of pot that you don't want to smoke.
 
yeah it sounds like a bad idea. if i were you, id smoke that bud, and eat the cup o noodles

why wouldn't the heat be sufficient? how hot does the it need to get for the thc to decarb?

atleast when i heated some oil with hash back in the days and then baked with it, it got potent like fucking hell.

must say though, tried the noodle thing once, with pretty small amounts of hash tho, and no oil added, but I drank the boiling water(soup) and it didnt get me stoned,, atleast i didnt feel anything, but i was pretty drunk at the time though.
 
thc is fat soluble, not water soluble, its not got very much to do with heat... so if you want the thc to get absorbed into the cup o noodles youre gonna need some fat... honestly though it does sound like a waste... just get high off the 2 grams then eat the cup o noodles, sounds like the best idea to me anyway
 
How hot does it need to be to decarboxylate? Thats a fine question. What do I know? Lets see
The cannabinoid acids of THC are devoid of psychotropic effects[2] and have to be decarboxylated to the phenols to produce marijuana-like effects, e.g. by smoking the dried plant matter. The ratio of ∆9-THC acids to phenolic ∆9-THC has been reported to range between 2 : 1[11] and >20 : 1[16] in leaves and flowers of Cannabis sativa. In plants grown in the United Kingdom from Moroccan, Sri Lankan and Zambian seed stock, the ∆9-THC acids/∆9-THC ratio was 17 : 1 compared with 2 : 1 in the plants from the original areas with hotter climates.[11] In cannabis resin (hashish), the THC acids/THC ratio was reported to range between 6.1 : 1 and 0.5 : 1.[17]

Decarboxylation of the THC acids to the corresponding phenols occurs readily over time, upon heating[16,23] or under alkaline conditions. Heating for 5 minutes at a temperature of 200–210°C has been reported to be optimal for this purpose,[16] but a few seconds in burning cannabis cigarettes are
equally sufficient. Slow decarboxylation of THC acid occurs at room temperature.

And by slow they mean weeks. Unfortuantely, that reference 16 is in german, and I don't spreken ze deutch, so we're shit out of luck when it comes to the temperature dependence of that conversion.

I always assume that at baking temperature (160-190) it happens quite readily, but at lower temperature, it wont happen quite so much. Does it happen at 100ºC? Well I'm curious as a mother fucker.

Ofcourse it does. For example, people make Cannabutter all the time, the temp doesn't rise much further above the 100ºC, but the end product sure works.

I always thought that decarboxylation occurs at pretty much any temperature. Higher temps just mean a faster process of decarboxylation, or not?
 
I've done room temperature extractions, ingested the extract without cooking it, and it got me high. But I still think most of the THC-COOHs were still THC-COOHs when they went in my belly... but as fizzacyst said most people end up heating the end product.

(It's getting to be a bit of a habit of yours fizzacyst, saying the shit Im going to say)
 
Yeah.. Well, I ate some butter 3 hours ago and I'm pretty high right now. Explain that! =D

edit: But guys, just read that last bit Bilz0r quoted..

Decarboxylation just means you're getting rid of the carboxyl group, it even happens at room temperature, it's only logical to assume it happens faster at higher temperatures.

Oh definatly, but that slow decarboxylation is like over weeks, i.e. curing.
 
OT: People seem to only talk about using a low heat stovetop to make cannabutter or other hash products. What I have never seen mentioned is the ease of the microwave.

For a 850watt microwave, 3 bouts of 10 seconds will be plenty to release most of the thc (from experience). Just make sure you use a microwavable dish that has a top or lid (it smells pretty foul), you powder ur weed, and if you dont use too much oil or butter, you should throw the heated oily weed in with ur product.

In this instance, you would just add the strained oil into ur noodles, add the water, and voila.
 
I imagine the low heat is mostly to keep from burning the butter. Scortched butter is so fucking nasty.

Ya, I know that. Just like with water for example. It evaporates at pretty much any temperature above the 0ºC (albeit slowly), the only thing that happens when you heat it is a faster evaporation rate. If heating for 5 minutes at a temperature of 200–210°C has been reported to be optimal for decarboxylation, it should only take a little longer at half the temperature, how long exactly, don't ask..
 
Well thats the question, thats why we need a german to come translate that reference 16 for us:

Brenneisen R. Psychotrope drogen: II. Bestimmung der Cannabinoide in Cannabis sativa L. und in annabisprodukten mittels Hochdruckflüssigkeitschromatographie (HPLC).
Pharm Acta Helv 1984; 59: 247-59
