Don’t you have to decarb it first? Unless you plan on smoking it.
Dude, ALL weed needs to be de-carbed to become psychoactive. The only question is whether you de-carb it in a machine (or oven) at a low temperature when making edibles, or whether you use the flame of your lighter to set it on fire. The difference being that the 1300 degree flame of a lighter destroys 50-60% of the THC depending on whether you are smoking joints/blunts or bowls/bongs respectively. (The difference being that joints/blunts get lit once, and then burn with a 500-700 degree cherry "only" destroying 50% of the THC, where bowls/bongs get lit and relit constantly destroying 60% of the THC).
***EDITED TO CORRECT IMPROPER MATH***
Once I started reading the studies and doing the math on just how many milligrams of THC one needs to set on fire just to get the smallest dose into their lungs I was dumbfounded. This is gonna sound stupid but the way the math works out if one smokes THC 40-60% of all the THC is just lost to the heat of the flame. Something like 40-70% of the remaining THC that makes its way into one's lungs is sent back into the atmosphere when the person exhales. Of the 30-60% of the THC that survived the fire and actually found its way into your body, your body will only be able to make use of 23-27% of that amount for daily users, while casual users and first timers can get up to 33%
So...
Say a person packs 100mg into a bowl, they can realistically expect to actually get 40mg of THC into their lungs and that puts 12-24mg actually inside their body, and then through the metabolic process somewhere between 2.76 and 7.92mg of THC end up being psychoactively available depending on their metabolism. (Anybody care to guess why state after state after state adopts between 5-10mg as a "therapeutic dose"?)
On the other hand, if that same 100mg of THC is decarbed and processed into an edible, there is no loss of potency as there is when a bowl is lit. So the only math that needs to be considered is whether or not the person is a daily consumer. Digestion isn't a perfect process, so it becomes impossible to predict EXACTLY how many milligrams make into the blood stream, but it should be over 80%. So at least 80mg. Then, for a daily consumer 18-24mg is a reasonable expectation, and up to 27mg for the casual user.
