microwaving blunts?

[Loudogg]

Ok... so when I finish rolling my blunts, I bake them with a lighter to make sure it sticks and to stiffen the paper, but I have a friend who throws his in the microwave for like 10 seconds. It seems to me that microwaving a blunt would get it too hot and vape the weed, but he swears it doesn't and works really good. Anyone know anything about this? Anyone else nuke their blunts?

[smokin dope]

hmmmm 10 seconds in a simple microwave will not vape any of the weed. prtty sure in my post about rolling joints/blunts i mentioned i use the microwave method sometimes, works great, just dont go to long, iblew a blunt up once in 15 seconds....it got so extremly hard and just blew up

[Das Boot]

I always heard that putting weed in the microwave somehow lowers the quality of it. Makes it less potent. I wouldnt smoke a raidioactive blunt.

[smokin dope]

dont belive everything ya hear.

[Hempamasta]

After rolling a blunt, I'll put it in my microwave for about 10 seconds and it still gets me high as hell.

[yoda]

this once time, my friend rolled a blunt, and there was a slight rip in it. it was still pretty wet and we wanted to smoke urgently, so we nuked it for 5 secs. we took the blunt out, and it had expanded, and the rip got even worse. but it was still a kickass blunt.

[ChronicMike]

Yeah i use the microwave all the time and 10 seconds is the perfect amount of time, your friend knows whats up.

[Loudogg]

Ok thanks for the help guys.

EWWWWW thats radiation.

[toothpaste100]

EWWWWW thats radiation.

Yet you use it to eat all the time :confused:
Every time you pick up a cell phone you're getting blasted with microwaves, every time you drive by a cell phone tower you get blasted with them, microwaves are less powerful in a radiation damage sense than visible light. Think about that.

[smokin dope]

no kidding,

[orangeman]

I dont do either, I smoke swishers that are so sticky they stick to your lips when you put it on the cigarillo so all I do is just like the shit and it's just like gum paper on rolling papers so I dont have to burn the blunt or throw it in the microwave. I'd recommend doing this ;).

what sort of an idiot are you!? not to harsh anyone's mellow but I cant believe someone was worried about radiation on their blunt from something everyone uses to heat their food.

Most people really seem to have no idea about what is and isnt healthy for you

Toothpaste is right, DoctorMJ. They're everywhere. And microwaves are just on a slightly different frequency than radio waves. It's not nuclear radiation, despite the fact that everyone uses the slang "I nuked it" to refer to cooking food in the microwave. Microwaves just shake the little water molecules in matter until they heat up or begin to evaporate. Folks who are paranoid about electromagnetic fields might worry about microwaves and cell phones, but I pretty much think we have bigger things to worry about. Like Iran!

I'm not sure I fully understand why you had to name-call there. It probably was simply a matter of his not knowing, which is perfectly understandable. I sure don't understand everything around me, and I'm betting you don't, either. Besides, there are plenty of people who DO worry about the effects of microwave radiation. I don't. But some do, as you'll see on the link above.

New thread name- Radiation and YOU.

Microwaving weed actually makes it twice as potent for smoking. THC becomes active when it is heated. (see pg. 79 of The Marijuana Food Handbook)

[Faultydesign]

heat tacos, not blunts.

stop

[P.E.N.G.U.I.N.]

stop
If you're going to set someone straight, do it intelligently. Watch.

True, heating up bud causes THC to break its bond with carbon atoms which keep it from being digested. HOWEVER, when smoking, that little red thing? Yeah, that's over 500 degrees. It breaks those bonds PLENTY.

Good day.

And to whom it may concern, microwave radiation is part of the same spectrum as visible light. It has a much lower wavelength, however, and any stray microwaves are caught by the oven and dissipate over time.

Also, you're thinking two different kinds of radiation. Microwave radiation is just energy passing through the air at a certain wavelength, one that water and fat molecules happen to be quite sensitive to.

The other kind of radiation is caused by atoms breaking apart of their own accord and shoting protons/electrons/whole atoms off at near light speed.

Hope that cleared things up.

I did not mean to spawn an argument lol. I just wanted to get high!

Dude, microwaves aren't part of the same spectrum. The spectrum refers to light that is visible. Microwaves aren't, and therefore are outside of the visible light spectrum. All forms of radiation are the same, just different wavelengths. Microwave, gamma, ultraviolet, visible light, etc.

I hope THAT clears things up.

WONDER SHOZEN!!!! OMFG adam ur an instant legend

[timmyrecordz]

sometimes we'll dip our blunts in honey and put em in the freezer but everyone does that.

Haha this is funny to me becuase not 20 minutes ago i stopped writing about this on my final,

gonna test my knowledge.

I think what people are getting confused here is microwave radiation, which is harmless, as apposed to the radiation that occurs when radioactive materials decompose such as alpha, beta plus/minus, and gamma radiation.

These forms of radiation are harmful to you becuase as these materials decompose they send zinging off into space at extremeley high speeds. Alpha radiation sends out a helium nucleus, Beta plus/minus an antineutrio or neutrino, and gamma gamma rays.

Everyday humans are bombarded with all these types of radiation, but rarely does a bad mutation occur when anyone of these particles hit, and when a mutation does occur it can cause one of many various forms of cancer and disease.

however, this has nothing to do with microwaves, so anyone who thinks that this will make your blunts radioactive please realize that theres no harm in microwaving anything but yourself. And that wouldnt cause cancer, that would just hurt like a bitch.

Wonder Showzen is an awesome show.

But seriously, people heat food in the microwave, so putting a blunt in there won't kill it. However, smoking means you're heating it up by combusting it, so heating it in a microwave won't make the blunt more potent.

[slipknotpsycho]

i don't understand why you should need to dry the blunt, i mean are you so impatient that you can't wait the extra 50 or so seconds? or do yal just make love to the blunt so it's dripping with slober?

[GratefulDead4ever]

i usually do 10-20 seconds in the microwave to get it nice and hard

[iamenfuego]

put it in the microwave for 5 seconds 10 seconds is to long
