Decarbing gone wild

Found this little gem from @Photon_noir in another thread while browsing. I figured since this seems to be the de facto decarb thread, posting it here may be helpful for everyone.

Decarb under pressure to retain terps?

This idea is reasonable, but there are a few very important caveats and notes that you must know before doing it: Pressure does not significantly affect the decarboxylation reaction kinetics, so it should proceed at normal temperatures and times, even under pressure. With enough pressure, you may find you can get away with slightly lower temperatures, but there are severe limitations on that, as described below. Of course any pressure applied should be devoid of reactive compounds like oxyg…
