Yes, indeed. And at molecular levels at > boiling temps there may be little difference between the two. We are showing our geekiness.

I would like to get feedback from all the experienced vaporists in this forum on a potential name for the company. The winner will get a free vaporizer and all the goodies that come along with it. Let your imagination run wild and let me know what you guys come up with!
Thank you very much!
It sounds like something you go away to do. Thanks for the helpful explanation.nicelytoasted said:Rayski:
Decarboxylation is the process of removing a carbon-oxygen-hydrogen group (COOH) from a compound, usually in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) and water. This can be accomplished through heating or enzymes.
In the case of our favourite herb, it naturally contains ?9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid which must be heated to decarboxylate it to its psychoactive compound ?9-Tetrahydrocannabinol.
Luckily, the bond is fairly weak and decarboxylizing is accomplished at ~ 100C.

The colour change (green to brown) is the result of applying heat, which thermally oxidizes the herb, including its' pigments (ie - chlorophyll). As we increase the air temperature, the degree of oxidation and degradation of the plant increases.rayski said:Nicelytoasted, One more question: Is decarboxylation causing the color change or is it just oxidation or something like that.
