In a nostalgic celebration of their last decent vintage, Duboeuf goes groovy for their marketing in NYC this year. Photo credit to M. Bell.

Has he also got the "right" brownie recipe that goes with that VW bus?

THC is fat-, rather than alcohol- soluble. Hence the epicurean stoner's practice of sauteing in butter before mixing into the batter. There are others here better qualified to speak of the chemical processes, of course.

I could perhaps see a use for the Dubo in a deglaze, as it could add a candied element not out of place in the final product.

I don't believe that's accurate. You can't clean a used smoking device with bacon, raw or cooked, or butter
even. You can clean them with alcohol, those pesky, sticky deposits come right off.

It has always been my understanding that it's necessary to heat the active ingredient containing resins to
"activate" the compounds, otherwise they don't perform as desired. Both smoking and cooking are acceptable methods.

I've heard that too, but never tried myself. Thought it was mutli-soluble.

WTF are Dougherty and Lipton?
 
so there's this cool site called wikipedia

THC itself is a hydrophobic oil and therefore highly soluble in lipids (fats).

In addition it has high solubility in organic solvents (e.g., alcohols) and very low solubility in water.

THC, the active component, is very soluble in acetone and hexane, less so in ethanol (alcohol) and not at all in water. If you want to make a vodka infusion, you'd probably have to macerate the leaves in the vodka and let steep for a few days. The vodka will also extract a lot of other stuff out of the leaves, too, so it'll probably look green and smell fairly resinous. Regarding Ned's point about heating: not likely. THC is active even in pill form, and that's what in cannabis -- no heat required.

Check!
 
Ah, the persistence of stoner mythology is like no other.

This one goes back to the 70s, and like some many things, details were lost along the way. My error
with regard to heat is that it isn't a requirement to break bonds that bind the THC molecule in a way that
inhibits its action biochemically, but heat is very helpful in breaking down the cellulose and waxes that contain it, making much more of what exists in the plant available to be absorbed by the user. That is the reason consuming the raw plant doesn't work very well, most of it just passes through, unabsorbed.

OK, that makes sense. Our guts, alas, aren't equipped to digest cellulose, so if the THC is compartmentalized, it would be less bioavavailable.
