Yeah I was reading this in sheer horror! I could never imagine waiting perfectly good canibus like that! Not to mention the whole decarb thing! Whoa this recipe is all kinds of wrong I was thinking it was a joke! Especially the microwave part… how gross I’m imagining eating this crushed up weed mixed w nuts in some kind of chocolate scariness:( booo 2 thumbs down do not do this recipe it is wrong for so many reasons!

decarboxylation is worth it to activate delta 9 THC, if I remember correctly, thereby making it more psychoactive and longer lasting with a fat based delivery method

For a longer shelf life do it without the water and 1/3 of extra butter and may I suggest simmering for 4-6hrs at °220 works bets for me really potent

Absolutely, it works great.

If your the type to not use it all right away I’d suggest not using water as it can mold. I personally use straight butter in a slow cooker turns out fantastic and if you put Soy lec as well you could leave it out on counter for months

Yes. Decarboxalating activates the psychoactive properties. Without it you’re wasting the high

Totally agree

I realize this was posted along time ago, but have been making candy and Carmel for a long time. I have discovered that you need to adjust cooking temperature based on the altitude. Think of it this way: water boils at 212° at sea level. But every 500 feet up, you have to subtract 1°. Water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes! When I learned of this my entire Candy making game changed. Also, check your candy thermometer. Boil some water, and see what temperature water is boiling at. This should solve your candy making woes.
