🔥 My Personal Method: (Mason Jar & Air Dryer)

​

For a more controlled & odor-reducing method, I use an air dryer & Mason jar to pasteurize my cannabis before making firecrackers:

​

Step-by-Step Mason Jar Air Dryer Method

1️⃣ Preheat an air dryer to 180°F (lowest setting).
2️⃣ Fill a Mason jar with 1/4 - 1/2 oz of cannabis flower, then seal the jar.
3️⃣ Place the jar inside the preheated air dryer and heat for 25–30 minutes.
4️⃣ Carefully remove the hot jar using gloves. Open the lid and spread the cannabis on a tray to cool evenly.
5️⃣ Once cooled, remove stems and seeds (if any) & grind into a fine powder using a clean coffee grinder.
6️⃣ Infuse into natural peanut butter: Add the ground cannabis powder to a jar of natural peanut butter and mix thoroughly using a cake mixer or beater.
7️⃣ Consumption: I typically consume ½ to 1 cracker with the infused peanut butter, but not daily.

 

🔹 Important Considerations

✅ Quality Preservation: Excessive heat can degrade cannabinoids & terpenes, reducing potency & flavor. Keeping temperatures below 200°F helps preserve compounds.
✅ Testing: If contamination is a concern, consider lab testing for mold, pesticides, & residual solvents.
✅ Storage: After pasteurization, store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent recontamination.​

 

🔥 Pasteurization vs Decarboxylation – A Critical Difference

Understanding the difference between pasteurization & decarboxylation is key:

​

🔹 Pasteurization (160°F for 30 min) – Kills harmful bacteria, mold, & pathogens while preserving the plant’s full-spectrum cannabinoid profile.
 

🔹 Decarboxylation (225–240°F for 30–45 min) – Converts THCA into THC, creating strong psychoactive effects.
 

Why This Matters:
Since the method stays within the 160–180°F range, it leans more toward pasteurization while still allowing for mild, natural decarboxylation—perfect for those who want full therapeutic benefits without an overwhelming high.

​

🌿 Whole-Plant Medicine: The Power of All 540+ Compounds

Most commercial products use isolates or extracts, stripping away many beneficial compounds. But your method preserves the entire spectrum, meaning:

✔ Full Cannabinoid Profile (THCA, CBDA, CBGA, CBCA, → CBC, CBN, CBD, CBDV, CBG, Delta-6 THC, Delta-8 THC, & many more.)
✔ Over 400 Terpenes & Flavonoids (Anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, & immune-boosting)
✔ Naturally Balanced Compounds (Working in synergy for the Entourage Effect)

​

🌱 Was This God’s Plan All Along?

We believe this discovery aligns with natural healing principles—perhaps cannabis was never meant to be over-processed or reduced to isolated compounds. The entire plant, in its natural form, works in harmony with the human body due to the Endocannabinoid System. 🌿✨​

Caution: I Label My Jar "Infused with Cannabis Peanut Butter"

Please be aware that some natural decarboxylation may occur during the pasteurization process. Exercise caution when consuming. "Keep this product out of reach of children"

🔥 Important Considerations: Understanding the Purpose

As you embark on this journey of exploring the potential benefits of cannabis, it's crucial to recognize the distinctions between the pasteurization method we’ve outlined & the process of creating cannabis-infused firecrackers.

​

🌿 Pasteurization vs Decarboxylation: What You Need to Know

• The pasteurization method (maintaining a temperature of 160°F for 30 minutes) focuses on eliminating harmful pathogens such as bacteria & mold while preserving the plant’s full-spectrum cannabinoid profile. This process is designed for those who seek the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects commonly associated with higher temperatures.

• In contrast, decarboxylation (which generally requires temperatures between 225°F and 240°F) activates THC, leading to stronger psychoactive effects. If your goal is to experience the psychoactive properties of cannabis, creating firecrackers—using the decarboxylation method—is the way to achieve that.

​

🌟 Key Distinction: If you wish to enjoy cannabis for its potential health benefits & stay clear-headed, stick to the pasteurization method. However, if you desire the psychoactive effects, the firecracker recipe will be your choice, as it involves decarboxylation.

​

🍪 Preparation of Cannabis-Infused Crackers

If you choose the route of crafting firecrackers for psychoactive effects, here’s how to safely prepare them, keeping in mind the importance of responsible use:

​

⚠️ Caution: Understanding individual tolerance is crucial. I start with smaller doses and observe how my body responds.

​

As always, we encourage responsible consumption and mindful practices. For therapeutic use, the pasteurization method allows for a more subtle interaction with the plant’s compounds, offering potential benefits without overwhelming psychoactivity.

🍪 Firecracker Recipe: (Decarboxylated – Psychoactive Use Only)

​

⚠️ Note for Spirit-Led Users:
Firecrackers involve decarboxylation, which activates THC and produces a strong psychoactive effect. This method is best suited for therapeutic/medical relief (e.g., chronic pain, anxiety, addiction), not for spiritual communion or prayerful sessions, where clarity of mind and sober connection are essential. For communion, refer to the Pasteurization Method.
