I agree, keep as much "nasty" clorophyll and leaf matter in it as you can, lage fan leaves and stems can go to separate medible but whole plant is good for you. The volatile terpenes can go if they want to but the rest is good for you so extract it all. I found that harvest fresh to jar and put jar in freezer, pressure cook jar when you need it worked fine. Then you can eat it as is or put back jar in freezer or grind it and make medible of it all. Without oil carrier as is makes for a special effect, the opposite is to mix the grind with sesame oil for fast and economic effect. Just a personal reflection from recent medible experiment. Decarb time do also make a difference may worth it to try half time and double time just make sure to keep notes so you can reproduce whatever meds you do. So many ways to do and none is the best.it dont work for me if not. Just like that isolate you add to your bowls of indica. I just don't get the same effect without the "full spectrum". Dabbing isolate doesn't have same effect for some reason. Everyone is different. Was just gonna recommend trying a full spectrum shatter if you haven't.
