Can Decarboxylation Happen in a Grinder?

Can Decarboxylation Happen in a Grinder?

Don’t let your quality go up in smoke!

What's the magic behind your favorite cannabis products? No, it's not that lucky pair of socks you wear on harvest day. It's decarboxylation, or 'decarbing' for short! Decarbing is one of those things that’s often overlooked, but it’s an essential process in turning your raw, green goodies into something a bit more... elevating, like cannabis extracts and concentrates!

How do you turn THCA into THC?

This process is all about transforming raw THCA into THC. What’s the difference between THCA and THC? At first glance, the two might sound like twins, but there’s one huge difference: THCA doesn’t get you high!

How do you get the fun stuff outta the boring one? Well, THCA will naturally take the scenic route and change into THC on its own over time. But, in the fast-paced world of cannabis processing, nobody’s got time for that! So what do we do? Turn up the heat, baby!

Do Joints Decarb Weed?

That joint you're lighting up? You're throwing a mini decarb party right there. But let's face it, not all parties are created equal. Smoking or vaporizing cannabis is like a house party: fun, but a bit messy. Over half of the THC—the guest of honor—ends up missing the fun, going up in smoke (literally).

Can Grinders Decarboxylate Cannabis?

When you’re pushing pounds of purp and shredding weed in a grinder, the main goal is to avoid losing tons of terpenes! This can happen in several ways, including:

  • Oxidation: Using a grinder that whips cannabis around in a drum can cause your valuable terpenes to evaporate into the air!
  • Decarboxylation: Anything that runs at a high RPM will generate excess heat. This heat is absorbed by your cannabis, causing early decarboxylation and terpene loss.
  • Uneven grinds: Large, chunky grinds retain terpenes inside the flower instead of evenly dispersing them.
