Decarboxylation requires 45 minutes of steady heat at 240 degrees.
The citric acid will continue to decarboxylate gently in the refrigerator.
You can probably decarb with just citric acid in the fridge, but I'd have to start doing a lot of math to know exactly how much and for how long. I'd be concerned about over acidification, though, and the breakdown of the psychoactive components.
The pressure cooker also pulverizes the plant matter and draws out the cannaboids.
