i have 2 friends, both claim to get high off of drinking pot tea and eating raw bud. i say its not possible, since THC is not water soluable, and it needs to be heated so the THC cannaboids can be activated before you eat it (also absorbed into a fat such as Peanut butter).
one says he boils his pot in hot water, lets it sit, drinks it and gets fucked up.
the other says he eats raw buds all the time and gets fucked up off it.
i say placebo/ignorance.
the verdict?
Your friends aren't very smart...
Verdict? GUILTY! Of being dumb and lying.
I'm pretty sure you can drink pot tea and get high off it. Ive heard it several places before and actually have thought about trying it before.
as for eating raw bud, im nto sure never tried it or heard of others trying it.... heheh dank salad anyone?
I've heard of Pot tea, but you put the bud in milk, because it has fat in it and stuff, but water? No, its not soluable in water, and since his friend boils his weed in water, then it would not work.
Cannabis tea is weak, people say they get high off of eating raw buds but I've never done it. Hey, if your friends wanna waste weed, let them. Just don't let them waste your weed.
first of all if done correctly cannabis tea is very nice. my mom makes it regulary, we buy it from our local cannabis club. comes in cinnamon, mint, citrus flavors mixed with cannabis and you add a little milk to soak up the thc, help it kick in your system a little easier and then you drink it. puts her to sleep quick.
on eating buds raw, i have to say your just an idiot. theres absolutly no possible way you can try chewing into a fat sack and expect to get anything from it cuz it wont happen. if you wanna eat it make the traditional brownies and/or something to bake or release the thc at a high temperature.
Herb tea does indeed work. I've had it once, and while it's not the kind of thing you drink to get really stoned, it does produce a nice mellow high.
As for eating herb raw, I've heard conflicting opinions. Personally, I don't believe it will do all that much (if you ate alot, I could se getting a little buzz), but then http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabi...shtml#eatdrink seems to offer at least a little evidence to the contrary.
they continue to insist on getting fucked up from water/pot....
and wadejason i didnt say it read the post my friend did, so don't go around calling people idiots if you are really the dumb one
Well, I too know that THC is not water soluable, but I have made tea before using just hot water and schwag in a tea bag and microwaved it and soaked it til the water turned green/yellow. I didn't get high per se, but it definitely does produce a nice mellowing somewhat narcotic effect. I usually end up going to sleep not long after drinking some. It tastes really really good sweetened with some honey too, drink it warm.
My reasoning is that although THC isn't water soluable, it also is not the only psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Since water is a polar solvent and thc is only soluable by non-polar solvents (ie: oils, alcohols), maybe the other active elements are soluable in water, like CBD or whatever that chemical is. Also, I think that since the water gets extremely hot, maybe some of the thc comes out in the water anyway, kinda like when you cook meat the grease comes out. I think that because usually there is an oily like substance floating on the top of the tea if you look at it in the light. Dunno, just some thoughts.
Don't knock the water only tea til you try it, it tastes great and you definitely feel something, but it's not the same "high".
cowboys in the old west first discovered weed as well a weed that grew wild and when the cows would EAT it they would act funny. i watched it on the history channel so if you believe the history channel...Quote:
