Is Decarbing Weed Necessary Before Making Cannabis Salt?

In order to make cannabis salt, understanding the process of decarbing weed is essential. Before infusing cannabis into salt, it is recommended to decarb the weed to activate its psychoactive compounds. An easy beginner’s guide to decarbing weed includes baking it in the oven at a low temperature for a specific time. Properly decarbed weed ensures THC is fully activated, resulting in a more effective cannabis salt.

Notes

You can not make cannabis-infused salt without the alcohol tincture You can not make cannabis salt with butter, oil, or any other type of fat.
You absolutely do not want to put a solid top or a lid on the pan while the sugar is drying.
If you do not stir the salt enough, it will harden together on itself and create a hard chunk. If this happens, you can use the food processor or a ziplock bag and a rolling pin to break it back up into granules again.
If stored properly, the cannabis salt should last at least 3 months, if not longer.
