it is complex...a complex carboxyl chain and it needs to lose a molecule so humans can uptake the rest of the molecules

The cannabinoids are produced by the plant in carboxylic acid form, which does not readily pass the blood brain barrier, so as to reach the CB-1 receptors there.
Decarboxylating involves heating the carboxylic acid until it loses its carboxyl link, which will readily pass the blood brain barrier.
Combusting or vaporizing also decarboxylate the carboxylic acid form, so it is only for oral application that it is of concern.

I have -- all honesty -- not the foggiest idea of what in the bloody heell decarbing is done for, nor have I the slightest wild guess as to why you would have 190 proof alcohol sitting in a freezer. Is the decarbed whatever-it-is soaking in alcohol??
If so, why? What happens to whatever the decarbed stuff is?
@Unca Walt
In Laymen terms, Decarbing herb
Means to take weed in normal flower state, and you heat it at a temp and time to convert THCA (naturally in dried cannabis)
Then you decarb that weed in an oven to convert THCA into the good stuff THC (gets ya Stoned stuff LOL) Same as if you burned it in pipe or joint The heat during smoking converts THCA into THC due to the temp.
So once decarbed the weed no longer needs to be smoked to activate it, and can now be used in edibles or tinctures or Oils.

And now for something completely different...
Last night, Herself and Your Humble Obdn't &tc were cleaning up after dinner... as she was standing at the counter doing womenstuff things, I reached in a drawer and pulled out an old red rubber clown nose.
I put it on my nose and walked up beside her. She glanced at me and went back to doing womanystuff. So I leaned in and said, "Gimme a kissy."
She smiled, and turned and kissed me, her nose actually pushed against the red rubber ball. She turned back to workin', and I did a Hm-hmm!
She turned and LOOKED at me with her head on. Burst into uncontrollable laughter. I had thought she'd seen it and pfft.
Nope. I had her get the camera a take a picture of me so folks can see what she did not.

My real problem is I am ADDICTED to growing...I can't stop. Always interested in what my latest strain will turn out and after a while one gets to much of a stash. So, I can only smoke so much and that leaves me with finding new ways to play with my hobby.
Bottom line....I waste more herb than any 10 people I know.

Nope. The fact is that us weed-deprived (in the dinged helmet category) cannot possibly get rid of the Volcano bag.
Here's why: If one takes a really tiny bit of the flower about half the size of a Q-tip cotton and stuffs it in a mini-glass tube... This will fill the tube perhaps 1/3 deep. Light it, take a hit... and blow ALL OF IT into the Volcano bag. Take the second -- and last hit -- and blow that into the bag also.
The glass tube thingy is now empty of all but a dot of ash. BUT!! The gleaner-of-smoke has his two exhales inna bag. He hits the bag... and then blows it back in. This will result in a minimum of five more hits he would NOT have had except for (*ahem*) shamelessly brilliant conservation practices. One can get high with perhaps the amount equal to a split-pea in volume. <-- TINS
Necessity is a mutha.
OH. One mo' thang for conservation: My liddoo invention of cutting a tiny piece of that stainless mesh used in pipes and stuffing it in the glass tube -- removes forever the PITA problem of inhaling a hot coal.

(*SIGH*) I understand the situation (which is ridiculous and somewhat of an obscenity) you are in -- you can burn forty bales outside in your back yard, but cannot send a shoebox to an ex-GI without running a genuine risk.
It is stupid. And frankly kinda insulting that Uncle Sam will not allow me to purchase weed LEGALLY here in Floriduh without having my home searched whenever Uncle Sam wants, and guns confiscated as STANDARD fukking practice. Just because I got dinged when I volunteered...
I became less of a citizen than a groid on welfare. Get dinged serving, fukk you as a civilian later. Groid on welfare? Feel free: Use your Gummint Check. We (USGovt) recommend sativa.

It took a long time for the Government to scare and convince the Sheeple that Cannabis was EVIL and the people who used it were BAD, It will take the same amount maybe longer for the stupid ones to realize it is not and will someday see it as valuable Medicine one day.

Yabbut... I'm 81. And incapable of even sprouting seeds. (I tried to hurry the process by using my microwave.) The height of ridiculousness is that my son is a Board Certified doctor. Even HE cannot prescribe some sativa for me.
It's all about the CB1 receptors in your brain responsible for getting you high. While everyone talks about THC, there is little to none in fresh cannabis. Instead there's THCa which is the acidic version and will not do too much for a buzz. It has an extra molecular grouping called a carboxy group consisting of an extra CO2 molecule. That extra molecule prevents the THCa from fitting into the CB1 receptor. In order to get stoned that CO2 needs to be removed which is usually done with heat. You get high from smoking/vaping it because the heat immediately releases that grouping and then hits the resultant THC will easily attach to the receptors.
However, that is not the case for ingesting cannabis. Since the THCa will not fit on the receptor it has to be converted to THC by losing that carboxyl group, which is usually done with heat. The commonly accepted way is by using the oven set at 240°F for 40 minutes. I have run lab tests for different times and temps and have determined this to be the least cumbersome. There are other various ways to decarb both before and after extraction that will work as well. Once the material is decarbed then you can ingest it with excellent results.
