eating weed

[Twitty]

so im talkin to my buddy and he says if u eat weed straight up u wont get high cuz thc needs to be heated in order to be activated, i dont agree...who is right?

[Blazed and Confused]

Your friend.

No it is possible to eat bud but it is really stupid because eating it without a fatty substance means most of the THC will not effect you. You would need to eat a 1/4 or so. So it would taste bad and it would be a waste of bud.

I've been tempted to eat some before. After I smoked... well, a lot of bowls (lost count), I remember started to look at a nice big clump of weed and being tempted to just eat it right there on the spot. :D

[Twitty]

i dont see why it wouldnt work though i mean yea it would taste kinda weird but your stomach still should break down and digest everything in it...

[WakingDream]

Your wrong though, your stomach doesnt break it down, it needs to be extracted into something like butter.

Your wasting weed if you eat a bud trying to get high.

[slpntrx5]

dude, DO NOT EAT STRAIGHT WEED!!!!!!!!!! IT WILL NOT GET YOU HIGH!!!!!!!!! what you do is:

sautee it in some butter or other substance containing lots of fat, mix that shit in brownies or cake or something, and enjoy the ride, my man!

THC is not water soluble, which means it will not disolve in to water easily (which includes blood), if at all. So in order for it to get in to the bloodstream (mostly water), and eventually the brain (where cannabinoid receptors lie waiting), it must be disolved into something that will eventually enter the bloodstream. Good candidates include butter, oil, etc that undergo lipolysis to form lipoproteins and such, which can carry water insoluble molecules (THC) in water (blood) - to your brain. So you have THC (bud) and Lipids/Fats (butter), now what? Now the THC must be heated (catalyzed) to cause it to disolve out in to the fatty substance at a higher rate. The hotter you heat it, the more THC released (but not too hot, or you will break the molecular bonds that hold THC together). That is why baking works well - medium heat for a respectable time period, especially if you already made cannabutter. I'm pretty baked myself right now. Science is fun...

Hahaha you have never eaten bud.....Omg you get so fuckin stoned and your stoned ora lasts much longer. Believe me its a proven fact, dont disagree or anything. Your talking to an A grade PotHead and an A grade Biologist.

[show7stopper]

your friend is right dude not you your friend and dont be ignorant and still believe yourself no offence but i know a lot of ppl that do that

[cannabis campbell]

your friends right dont just eat it, its a waste, you have to appreciate it, smoke it

[alex32]

i think eating it is fun, only a tiny bit though(you dont want to waste any), the other day i ate a tiny bit of the strongest bud i have ever seen ,and it tasted soooooo good in my mouth for ages, it tasted like it smelt!!, mmmmmmmmmmmm

[kizazz83]

they say you can get a body high but i dont think so. you need to prepare it special. make brownies!

[WeedLovingVeteran]

I would never eat bud unless it was a dare which has happened many occasion with firends stoned out of our faces. Facts are below:

1.The only reason it is baked in a cake or anything of the sort is to make it taste better.
2.Heating it in the oven will cause loss of some of the THC due to water vapour coming from the plant when evapourated.
3.Fat does not aid the digestion of THC as fat is broken down anyway by emulsification.
4.THC is an active chemical and does not need a catalyst.
5.Smoking weed is far more satisfying so why even attampt to eat it unless you are extremely stoned anyway and out for a laugh.

Hope at least one part of that helped!

Yeah you can eat weed. I believe in weed brownies or something, I never heard of eating weed while as a bud but I have heard of brownies and stuff. But smoking it is always funner :D.

1) True
2) The loss of THC in water vapor is minimal, as it is not water soluble. If THC was lost in water, you would lose a ton of it when freshly harvested bud was dried and cured (which doesn;t happen).
3) THC is not digested at all. It is metabolized by isozymes in the liver (though it is active in its inherent form). In any event, lipoproteins are required to cross cellular phospholipid bilayers (plasma membranes) of vascular tissues (or any tissue for that matter) in order to enter systemic circulation. The lipoproteins are transport proteins, not digestive enzymes.
4) THC is active, yes, but it requires a catalyst (in this case a negative delta-H; AKA heat) to excite the valence electrons enough to form molecular bonds with the lipids, thus facilitating systemic distribution. This is an endothermic process in regard to the THC.

All words intended with respect. I just wanted to clarify my thoughts. If I am mistaken regarding this information, I have online subscriptions to PubMed, Medscape, and several research and biochemical journals I would be happy to consult if anyone can direct me to data that contradicts what I;ve mentioned...

Kindest,

dude...just be quiet and go in the corner...

Wow how intelligent slpntrx you fucking moron.......he made sense and i got some shit mixed up, could be something to do with not having slept in two days. :mad:

But what can be said about you slpntrx your just a fucking gimp, with your one line remark :S Now you go sit down you little boy come talk to me when your ready to play with the big boys. :o Pathetic

[Fan o KmK]

omfg lol i know sooo many people who are 100 % CERTAIN that eating a fat nug will get you high because your stomach will digest it, thus absorbing the thc, thus getting you baked. these same people also believe that putting bud in tea will extract the thc and get you high. both of these are completely and totally wrong, thc has to be extracted with heat, or some kind of fatty substance. i PROMISE YOU, even if youve eaten bud or done the tea thing and clamed that it worked, like my friends, it DOESNT, YOU JUST WATED BUD HAHAHHHAHA. ok im done.

[Kryzco]

in the words of scarface (half baked)

"just smoke it yo!"

[show7stopper]

word kryzco, word

when life gets hard i pick up that card with the smiley face, call em' over to my place

[BestTonicIsChronic]

OO fuck man eating it is fuckin great. Hell today I ate it for the first time, my buddy had some amazing bud cookies, he said there was a bout a gram in each cookie. I ate it at 8 in the mornin and I was high till like 5 in the afternoon, actually Im still alittle high now at 9:30 lol.
