I have made RSO for five years now, following Rick Simpson's recipe, which is not decarbing the bud (as GWE suggests) before processing. Per RS, the processing heat automatically decarbs the THCa during distillation.
I have two questions:
1. Have you made RSO before, using decarbed bud vs. vs. non-decarbed bud, and noticed a difference in RSO potency when decarbed twice? I personally think double decarbing results in stronger RSO.
2. Any opinion as to how much extra THCa might get converted by double decarbing? The stoichiometry of the reaction would suggest very little, if any.
Maybe another minor cannabinoid contributing to the mix?
Appreciate your thoughts.
