I used to make edibles by putting ground weed in a mason jar while baking. 305F for 18 minutes. It's better to do it longer at lower temperatures, figure out the math yourself (I've long forgot to how I came up with that) but I lived in an apartment and I wanted to shorten the amount of time I had hot smell-producing weed at all costs.
The math for how much weed you can decarb in a mason jar before overpressurizing is basically impossible because weed gives off co2 in addition to the air expanding as it heats up which sounds like it can be calculated but it doesn't ever work out. But I did find that 16oz jars fail at somewhere between 40 and 50 psi and it's the metal lid that fails first every time. If using a smaller jar than 16oz, the glass may explode first but larger ones should be safe.
Unless you live in an illegal state and are absolutely surrounded by war on marijuana supporter type people, this is way too much effort for the average person. Just put ground up weed on a baking tray and run it for however long any random baking recipe says to do.
