Chewing stems?

[Shmoe123]

my friend told me that if u chew on the stems u get buzzed or if u just eat a bud without cooking it or anyhing u get high, is this true?whats your opinion

[Enemy of Real1ty]

Im not sure about the stems, but eating raw bud does work, though you have to eat quite a bit, and its hard to swallow

[Nochowderforyou]

No.

[Stumps]

i just chew on stems because it tastes like weed and it makes me looks like a B.A.

But yeah, no. it wont even get you buzzed.

[Jesta]

If you stick fresh nugs in your anus, you get buzzed too ;)

Seriously though, I chew the stems sometimes because they taste good.

[snicklefritz1825]

I give all my stems to my cockatiel. I think he gets high cause a little bit after he eats them he oes from being a screeching to chill and fluffy.

Cannabis has to be 'activated' before it can have an impact on your body in the way you want. Also, stems typically contain far less psychoactive ingredients than the buds (try smoking a bowl of stem - you'll probably just get a headache). You can save your stems and brew a nice tea, etc.

[Enemy of Real1ty]

It can be activated by the heat you produce, not as much, youd have to eat alot of it to get high.


~so blazed~

Yeah I just chew the stems cause they taste good and like Stumps said, it makes me look like a bad ass.

[TheGanjaKing420]

Oh man, that is something I forgot all about doing. I used to always have my dealers/friends anyone who smoked save up all their stems for me cuz I loved chewing on them. I'd always be chewing on one. No, it won't get you buzzed, no matter how many you eat, it just the taste that I loved, and plus the fact they lasted for a really long time.

And eating raw weed won't get you high either, I don't think. It has to be activated in some way....

[geonagual]

I chew stems all the time. Whenever I am breaking up weed I stick the stems in my mouth..chew on them, then usually eat them..I do the same with seeds..if there are any.

[SantaClawz]

You can cook with stems, you need to grind em up properly along with your cuttings and stuff. They do have some thc to some degree and im sure it wouldnt hurt to add them in to make a tincture or sorts.

[TheDefiler]

I usually just grind everything up if I get schwagg. Stems, bud, and seeds all go through the grinder. I guess im just too lazy to pick em out.

[McLovin]

seeds too? thats fucking gross.

[TheDefiler]

Whatever dude, its all weed to me! If im gonna pay for the shit then u damn well bet im gonna smoke it, cause god know i don't have any use for the seeds cause i have no place to grow and no equipment to grow with. My poor ass can't afford no $150 lights, not to mention nutrients, pots and dirt, and a method of ventilation. So whatever man, I'm just putting everything to use because I paid for it.

Erm, I'm going to share from personal experience that eating raw buds does, in fact, get you stoned. I was in my mates car in some parking lot, and we had just rolled a joint. We weren't really paying attention to much, until a cop was right behind the car, walking up with his flashlight aimed right at me. We were both panic stricken: my friend quickly threw the papers between his door and his seat. The cop was a good 3 feet away from me and I had no idea what to do with the joint, as it was just resting in my hands. I quickly ripped it up and threw it into my mouth (it was only some mids). I was choking quite a bit on it, so I got some water to sooth it down. We must have looked fairly suspicious just sitting there so he asked us to step out of the car. We were patted down and nothing was found. However, we had to go through some brutal lines of questioning. I was definitely buzzed.. They didn't notice, however, and they let us go. Then we went back to my place, and rolled 2 more joints :jointsmile:

Case in point: you can get high off of eating raw marijuana, but not nearly as much as you would from smoking it.

As for stems, I suppose if they too have THC on them, chewing enough might get you high but, I just chew them on occasion because they taste good :thumbsup:

[dankkeeper]

Stems are only good so you can pick shit out of your teeth after a munch session.

[nightlight]

i save my stems, and once i have about an ounces worth i make hash with the few trichomes that do cling.

[KomfortablyKnumb]

So you ate raw weed and were buzzin pretty much instantly, but it takes 40 minutes to an hour for brownies to kick in?

[klondike_bar]

lol, knumb makes a point....

[rek4385]

man all you guys that are smoking seeds are crazy. Its actually the one thing in Cannabis that lowers sperm signifigantly. besides that how do you not get a headache!

[bobhasbitchtits]

Both claims are not true. Your digestive system can only activate a very small portion of the THC in any amount of weed, therefore, you will not feel high upon ingesting plain marijuana. You can however, heat the buds in a fatty oil such as peanut butter, then eat the peanut butter. Since THC is fat soluable you can even do this with oreo cookies. The activation temperature for THC is around 370 degrees.

[Sounds good to me]

The only thing the do is taste nice.

^Nice one on the peanut butter though, i never knew that, will have to try it for breakfast sometime.

Bang on for the first part, but I think you mean the 'boiling point' of THC is around 370 degrees?
The activation of weed, i.e the process of converting/ decarboxylating the inactive THC-acid to active THC takes place between 50 and 75 degrees centigrade (122 to 167 degrees fahrenheit).

[DurbanStone]

I have heated the buds up to 230+ degrees for 20 minutes and I ate 0.5 grams and it was too intense.
