Best medicinal and functional effect is what you get from eating raw plant matter in acid form in terms of pain management and inflammation. That's why Big Pharma been trying to stop the cultivation for centuries.
That’s a great idea! A new method to add to my kitchen.I like to take everything from my defoliation sessions and juice it with some apples, carrots and ginger. It is certainly good relief for my aches and pains.
I always used to decarb in oil, but there’s a bunch of websites out there that says you should decarb it first then infuse it. Seems like an unnecessary step but I’ve been decarbing it in a sealed mason jar in the instant pot then infusing in instant pot. It works both ways just not sure it’s different

I remember watching a documentary on weed years ago prior to recreational legalization and they had a medical doctor that said the best benefits from marijuana come from eating the whole plant. I can't remember the exact break down since it's been so long but basically saying cannabinoids are more plentiful and easier to absorb that way.
If using a sealed mason jar in the instapot it doesn’t smell at all during cook/infusion. Only minor smell when you open the cooled down mason jar. This also preserves all cannabinoids and terpenes.
Makes me want to grow a plant for just raw purposes. I’ve eaten raw leaves in the past, some are pretty acrid/sour and others more palatable. Something I’d be willing to try anyways.
I've tried them as well. Some aren't bad. Maybe the next time I use trim in edibles I'll use it whole in a dish as a sort of green and try it out. Might be good with pasta.
It’ll be like picking up a bag of spinach at the store, but going to the grow room instead. Makes me think into the future where a strain is genetically selected for taste to commercialize for health food or grocery stores, could be onto something??
Just make sure to use the trivet or something similar to keep the mason off the bottom.
