Decarboxylation occurs when the molecules within the oil have been rotated to the delta 9
position with the use of heat so they become more medicinally active. The temperature at which
this occurs is debatable, since many reports I have viewed on the subject do not agree. By doing
what I have suggested, the oil is heated to temperatures well above that at which decarboxylation
is said to occur. The carboxyl group is removed, which then allows the molecules to fit into the
CB1 and CB2 receptors of our endocannabinoid system and allows them to pass the brain
barrier.
