Absorbing Cannabinoids Through the Skin? Getting High from Just Harvesting?

[recent guest]

The jury may be out on this, but here is my personal verdict:

I know cannabinoids can be absorbed through the skin, because I know that synthetic cannabinoids can be mixed with DSMO and dosed in a transdermal fashion, although I stay well clear of synthetic drugs and advise others to do the same. I have seen this done, however.

Now, the real reason I ask this to the community is that I read a long time ago about a man harvesting a large grow, who said, and I can still remember the simple quote, "I was buzzing hard from all the psychoactive terpines being absorbed through my skin."

So my verdict is that this is a legitimate, although impractical, way to administer THC and other psychoactive 'terpines'. I reached this conclusion after harvesting my 80 day Cannabiogen Caribe, which took me three hours and resulted in about three quarters of a gram of finger hash. I have not smoked all day and I certainly feel a dreamy altered high, though it is not too similar to the effect of smoked cannabis. Any thoughts?

THC can be absorbed transdermaly ... but...

while fresh, before they are heated (smoked, vaporized or cooked), cannabinoids are in their raw carboxylic acid forms and are non psychoactive. the feeling you and the man you quoted had could have resulted from the placebo effect... but one cannot get high from trimming the buds because there is little to no THC it is all in the form of THCa which again doesn't get you high and is not psychoactive

Ive experienced this feeling every time i harvest.. JMO but came to the conclusion its spending hours and hours staring at bud concentrating that does it. Almost like hypnosis if you will. I get it so bad that i try not to blaze when i harvest as it really knocks me out after like 12 hours straight.

Try having regular breaks and eating more, or if you enjoy the feeling just keep on trucking

I got real high when making butter. I was squeezing the butter out of the cheesecloth strainer ........... about an hour later I was couch locked.

The butter was heated, thus converting it.
