Not sure how to explain it more then saying I never decarb when making butter and it works just fine.

Your question was about decarbing and smell.
Lots of great write ups on making butter. the search function on this website and google are wondrous things.
My point was you do not need to decarb the weed first.

Well, I change that question and question further.
But okay, thanks for nothing.
Move out of your parents house and you should be able to get away with a bit more.
You are boiling your bud in water with butter? How is that not decarbing it?Your question was about decarbing and smell.

Hi KonopCh-
If you intent to bake your goods, then you should be fine without decarbing. That should take place during the baking process. I also understand that the flower can be decarbed during the infusion process from the heat from the crock-pot. I don't have first had an experience with doing that, but I have had many edibles that were not decarbed first and they were fine.
There are other methods, such as doing a Sous Vide Decarboxylation (water bath), but that's kind of a thing. Perhaps a cheap toaster over, plugged in someplace outside might be a better way.
Good luck ~
Is there any scientific data for comparing that method with one where you decarb first in oven?
There was an Austrian study done on the effects of heat to stored cannabis, and it found that the maximum amount of THC-A was converted to THC-d9 after a 3 hour period at 212F. That same study demonstrated that after 1 hour, the THC-A conversion reached 90% of it's max conversion rate.
What does this mean?
This means that you can toss your cannabis in mason jars, boil those fuckers in water for an hour, and you'll be pretty damn close to being at 90% of your maximum conversion rate. There will be practically zero odor as the cannabis will be sealed in the jars. From there you can toss the cannabis into recipes as is, or use it to infuse fats like butter or coconut oil. Sadly, there is practically zero scientific data on infusing fats with THC, but we do have a lot of practical experience in the community at large.
But there is gas in jar, so it can explode.
But I was thinking about side by side study of decarbing first and last. I guess it's not done yet.
