Chewing Cannabis

[DkT-Friendly]

Does anyone know if it is possible to eat cannabis plain and still get a very nice high or what.
Also can marijuana be chewed liked a person would chew skoal snuff or other chewin tobacco?
thanks for any help in advance

i dont think so. you need to heat it in some way. thats why when you cook with it you need some type of fat to absorb the thc and you have to heat it to activate the thc.
some other people may have more info.

i have tried it very earneslt and no, dont waste your grass
i ate about 6 grams of great dank, and felt almost nothing, wishing i had smoked the shit in a bad way.
make firecrackers or somthing, the resources are at your finger tip

I read that the heat activates the THC so eating raw is just a waist.

Activates the THC? I am a little curious about this term. What does it mean to activate the THC.

I don't know but i am pretty sure that heating it is unneccesary. But to the topic chewwing wont work.

You do not need to “activate” the THC in cannabis. Please stop spreading this lie around.

one time i made tea with it by putting some in water and then i boiled it and then left it on a tea cup heating thing overnight and then i drank the tea and ate the herb in the morning and it worked.

i bet it taste good right?

This is old info outta a book via my feeble memory: the "need to heat" involves the loss of a water molecule, which makes it psychoactive?

Like I said, this is straight from memory, so there's probably a good to deal more to it than that.

 

[paulok2000]

if you rember what book, i would want to look into it.

Yep, it works really well. If you keep a cough drop or candy in with it there is absolutely no smell. If you swallow it it isn't a problem. You can keep a steady control of your dose.

You do need to de-carboxylate it for it to be active. The way we do it is to grind it (shake for a light effect, bud for heavy), then put it in a mylar or oven roasting bag on 350 F for 10 minutes, let completely cool before opening bag. Use just as you do Skoal. Absorbs thru the skin in your mouth, works a little slower than smoking and faster than eating. You can also make drops by putting it with a hard candy or caramel recipe.

Decarboxylization is only half the effect desired - heating also dulls the silica hairs pot has as a defensive strategy.

If you eat raw weed, not only will it not be as trippy as if it was cured - it could very well give you nasty tummy ache, or worse.

Or so I hear.

Realy good smoke starts way high in range so when cured it is in the psycoactive range. Pot that gets you high when new but fizzles after a little curing,started mid-range and the THC has dropped BELOW the psycoactive range. Storing in a CO2 field can accelerate the De-carboxylization and cause the THC range to drop TO LOW ruining your meds.The BEST long term storage would vacuum then flood the field with inert gas like Argon or Helium,driving out all the CO2.Then freeze.
Without the presence of carbon the degragation process is almost stopped.

The ONLY time CO2 should be CAREFULLY used in a cure is if you have a strain that takes a long long time curing before it's any good, thereby accellerating the process. Even then care should be used and CO2 kept to a minimum,because it would be realy easy to go to far and ruin your meds.

I hope this isn't to technical and that it's understandable.

PS: I'm sure Mr. Tuck or one of our Tech wizards can and will verify this.
This info is nothing new.Rosenthal and Frank had it in their original book way back when."

I tried it once.
I'd just rolled a couple of joints from the rest of my weed and I didn't have quite enough to make even a modest jay, so I thought what the hey and popped it in my mouth while I cleaned up. I didn't get high really but gave me a nice fuzzy feeling. Not what I would have expected smoking it.
That night I had a nasty sore throat and was sick for about a week. It must have had some germs or whatever on it. Now if I'm gonna eat it I make sure to cook it somehow just so this doesn't happen again.

you will get some effect but not the same as cooking or smoking.. just pop a few grams of good stuff in the morning and you willl see..
