Cannaflour? Anyone baked with it before? Seem to be a debate as to whether or not you need to carboxy it before making the flour…opinions?

I am pretty sure you have to decarboxylate before any processing. Could be off but, I am pretty sure. Will check up on theory later.

@latewood is correct. You should always decarboxylate for edibles. Butter, oil, honey, whatever even if you plan to cook with it. Here’s some good info I found:
Without the process of decarboxylation when making cannabis-infused food, the cannabinoids within your bud won’t activate, leaving your edibles pretty lackluster. If you are baking with weed, then this process occurs naturally, to a degree, as it is the process of heating cannabis that performs this activation (hence smoking and vaping working instantly. However, if you are not baking, or even if you are, it is always a good idea to decarb your cannabis first to get the most out of it.
This is the decarboxylation process we’ve been talking about.
DECARBOXYLATION: WHAT IS IT?
Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that occurs when cannabis is baked that removes a carboxylic acid group from the makeup of the herb, making it much more potent. The presence of this carboxyl acid group is the reason why eating raw weed won’t get you that high, it acts as a blocker for the psychoactive properties of the plant.
You see, it’s all about chemical makeup. For the same reason the weed is dried and cured before smoking/cooking/vaporizing it, it must be heated to be activated. By burning off the carboxylic acid group the chemical changes from THCA, a substance that won’t get you high, to THC, a substance that will.
Which leads me to a question on the flour. I was always under the impression with edibles that in order to be cooked with the THC/Tricomes attached to fats during the infusion process which is why we use oils and butters. There’s no fat in flour so I’m curious what it attaches to until it’s mixed with whatever else is in the recipe you are baking. Although, I guess really it’s still just attached to the ground up pieces of flower (not flour).
If you try it @rodri59 please tag me with what you thought of it. ~AB

Cannaflour, amazing. The things you learn. So, this being said, would it be wise to use cannaflour AND cannabutter together in the same recipe?? Hmmm… sounds like a trip! Yes please tag me if you attempt this.

Hah! @Covertgrower I was wondering the same thing. I suppose it would be okay, as long as you don’t plan on driving anywhere lol…

I will for sure. Sadly this will be something I do a bit further in the future since my girls are not even in flower yet…but hopefully someone else will do it before me.

Your girls and mine both aren’t quite there yet… and being my first harvest with no reserve so to speak, I will not risk running out. Seriously, just got migraine meds switched because the others weren’t working, don’t even get me started the on the side effects… I need those meds from my harvest. (And maybe some for relaxation while dealing with kids)

I get it @Covertgrower. I am in my own struggle with medicine and doctors and regimens and…well suffice it to say I am pretty fed up with western medicine.
Its a vicious cycle isn’t it? Sometimes the medicine prescribed is worse than the disease it is meant to help. I hate being on the hamster wheel of trying to figure out what works, when it works and should I stop it and change to something that is “supposed” to be better. It never really is better, tho.
I think I have been on every diabetic medication - oral and injectable- that can be prescribed. I finally found one that worked pretty well without terrible side effects and now that one is starting to loose potency for me. Its almost like my body says “yep, that’s enough of that one, time to find another one and start all over again with new side effects, tough cookies girl! This is the price of being sick and eating like Shite for so many years.”
Hang in there. Your crop and mine will be done soon enough and we can look in the rear-view mirror (somewhat) at Big Pharma. I am not naïve, I know MJ is not the cure all, but it sure does help lesson some of the issues I deal with both from the disease AND the meds I am on for the disease.
There will be time enough for edibles later. Not now though. I just like to dream
Peace to you bro.

VERY well said.
Jusr for your information. Experts we are in contact with. Friends of the “Growing with fishes” Podcast we do on Thursday night, has developed a method using Coconut oil, and it is all you need to make edibles.
We had Tommy J and his Son, Dorian on the show a couple weeks ago, and it was eye opening. I will try to get you the link to the show; However, it is already posted in the GWFs podcast area.
Hogmaster has a lot of insight into edibles…FYI

Scroll down and watch Episode 54 if you are planning to make edibles. Save your flowers; Because once you watch this; it might be the only process you use from now on.
Warning. Podcast is long with tons of info. Best to listen while cooking or cleaning or working out…etc
The process described takes over a week to complete but quality and purity is unsurpassed if you have the patience.
Thanks @AnneBonny Enjoy the show

Thanks @latewood. I will make sure and give it a listen
@latewood WOW! Thanks for posting that link to the podcast. So much good info (much of it over my head as a newbie). Definitely will decarb in a mason jar for sure next time. I will have to check out Tommy and Dorian’s Youtube channel as I feel like I only saw a glimpse of what they know and share. I totally agree with them on the versatility of coconut oil…let’s see if I can convince my husband I need the oven for 8 days so I can make their version. Sorry, honey it’s a microwave dinner tonight. I think that is sort of the method @Hogmaster uses but with the crockpot. ~ AB
