During infusion, heat pulls cannabinoids out of plant material and dissolves them into butter or oil, where the fat holds onto them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That binding depends on staying within a controlled heat range, giving the extraction enough time to complete, and using enough fat to hold everything in suspension. Under-infuse on time, and you don't extract fully. Push the heat too hard, and you start breaking down what you extracted before you ever cook with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heat has two separate roles: activation vs degradation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where most potency loss happens, and why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/the-plant\/thc-vs-thca-real-world\">convert THCA into THC<\/a>, you need heat \u2014 specifically, sustained exposure in the 220\u2013245\u00b0F range during decarboxylation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No conversion, no effect. But once THC is active, heat becomes the enemy. Push past 392\u00b0F (200\u00b0C) and THC begins breaking down into CBN, a less psychoactive compound.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Same tool, opposite outcomes depending on where you are in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time and temperature control how THC behaves<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image \">\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-19.png\" data-modal-open=\"lightbox_8561\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-19.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-19.png 768w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-19-300x158.png 300w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 1218px) 772px, 100vw\" alt=\"\" title=\"Click to see a larger version of the image\">\n\t\t\t<\/a><\/figure>\t\t\t<div id=\"lightbox_8561\" data-modal data-modal-hide-heading data-modal-manual-close hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Image lightbox<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-19.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-19.png 768w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-19-300x158.png 300w\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t<button role=\"button\" class=\"a11y-modal__close-btn\" data-modal-close-btn>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M13.414 12l4.293 4.293a1 1 0 01-1.414 1.414L12 13.414l-4.293 4.293a1 1 0 11-1.414-1.414L10.586 12 6.293 7.707a1 1 0 011.414-1.414L12 10.586l4.293-4.293a1 1 0 011.414 1.414L13.414 12z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/products-and-how-to-consume\/make-canna-butter\"><\/a>It's not just how hot \u2014 it's how long.

Degradation accelerates once you cross into the 392\u00b0F+ range, and stovetop cooking gets there quickly. Frying with cannabutter almost always underdelivers. The THC breaks down before it reaches the plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baking changes the dynamic. Fat gets mixed into batter or dough, so heat has to move through the entire structure before it reaches the THC. Even at higher oven temps, internal food temperature stays well below surface heat. That buffer gives THC a better chance of surviving the cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most controlled approach: add cannabutter after cooking, or stir it into warm food off heat.
