Raw Cannabis

In assisting folks at our co-op, I've been getting more and more interested in the use of raw cannabis - primarily in juice form - for various ailments. There isn't a lot of info out there regarding such use, but I've put together a list of what I've found so far.

It won't get you high if eaten?lol

I think that the larger leaves dont contain all that much THC-COOH, which if eaten raw wouldn't convert to very much delta9-THC, so I wouldn't expect you to get very high from it. I guess it would depend on a number of factors though.
