Isn't baking temperature well above vaporization temperature?

 

(Hint: the answer is yes).

 

From memory, vaporization temp is between 100 and 125 C.

 

Baking temps fall north of that by a ways.

You don't HAVE to heat it. It has nothing to do with vaporization point, or whatever. Heating just increases the solubility of the THC in whatever fats and oils you're cooking it with so that it can be more readily digested by the stomach. Also, heating it helps convert carboxylic acid THC derivatives into THC, thus increasing the potency of the product. But you don't HAVE to.

 

THC is insoluble in water, so it just isn't as bioavailable to the human digestive system if not combined with fats or alchohol. That's why it works so well when you cook it up with oil or butter. You can also make tinctures.

 

Or, so I've read. :whistle:
