Loose fingers doth make the cannabis linger when DIY marijuana infused simple syrup abounds.

 

Wait, why is it necessary to have all this flower out? Oh, that’s right: Decarboxylation.

Which is a very scientific term for activating cannabis. Which is another phrase of saying “heating”. Which is another way of saying something you typically find when searching “what is the best temperature to decarb cannabis”. But you don’t have to do that. You’re already here.

DIY marijuana infused simple syrup also involves lipids. Yeah. That’s right. Lipids.

 

A lipid is a macrobiomolecule that is soluble in nonpolar solvents. Yep, sure is. Sorry, that doesn’t help out of context does it?

Context: Once you activate the THC by placing in the oven at 230 degrees, or a decarboxylation machine (they exist), you extract cannabinoids and the good stuff to then use a fatty lipid to bind it and make it usable. In our case here, we’re using glycerine which you can find abundantly and we combine with boiled sugar water.

Proper decarb of cannabis involves spreading the ground flower over the paper with those hands we mentioned earlier are important because fingers are helpful.

 

After the decarb is done you add it to your fatty lipid for binding, and your DIY marijuana infused simple syrup is off to the races.

The face of someone saying “fatty lipid” over and over while making DIY marijuana infused simple syrup.

 

Then you strain. And strain again. And then strain some more. Strain until you look at your simple syrup and confidently proclaim “that’s enough straining for me” and then you’re done straining.
