Thanks for your comment @ceattlestretch! No, I never skip the decarb process. I even decarb before I make FECO or RSO and I have paid to have concentrate professionally tested. The results were the highest potency the lab had tested (to date, at that point). It was thought that this was because of the decarb process because most people don't bother to decarb before they make concentrate.
If you don't decarb, you will still achieve some effects, your blends just won't be as strong as they could be.

you had that on a video? on youtube did you not? It was when I heard for the first time of that. This the herb directly in the oil I never have done so far. I normally make the oil. By first having the buds in alcohol, than strain it of and leave the alcohol in a slow cooker until I only have a dark oil or even tar-like mixture left.

thats how one makes RSO Rick Simpson Oil

Yes I know, except that I do not know witch strain :-) But if you would make it the same way as @rebeccaryan said it would be in cbd much higher! I did love that video.

for sure, i liked her video as well. lately i have been using a 1:1 THC to CBD autoflower called MED GOM 1.0 from Grass-O-Matic and CBD Crew. it is super easy to take care of plus it is an autoflower. i feel like nowadays there are a lot of easy to grow autoflowers with high CBD levels to choose from.

there defenitely is! But as long as we are not allowed to grow it, it is a bit on the shade side :-) And high risk to grow it in the garden, when I grow any, it is of seeds i saw on other plants, and the people they have got them, most times do not know there selves witch strain it is. I would love so much to check it all out from seed to oil. :-) One day may be :-)

I’m going to do a test 😉

Always decarb and always use lecithin(except in tinctures, lecithin is not needed). I own a cannabinoid testing kit for infused oils, butters and tinctures that has shown both to be important factors to increase potency.
Decarboxolating changes non psychoactive THCA into psychoactive Delta 9-THC by oxidizing the compound which releases a carbon atom. This can occur naturally over time but is greatly sped up by applying heat.
Lecithin acts a binder to ensure the cannabinoid compounds have more fat molecules readily available to attach to.
