If you read my oil guide, you will see that alcohol is all that is needed to make oil. The heating of the alcohol only work to evaporate the alcohol.
Sitting in the cold for a few weeks will result in the same product...just a lot longer time to get it.
Let e make this simple so that even a school boy junior could understand...
When ingested into the stomach, the body will secret hydrochloric acid which is nature's best solvent.
Hydrcholoric acid will eat thru metal. It will disolve meat. It will disolve grease. It will disolve most anything orgainically based with an acid pH.
It will certainly dissolve trichomes which is where the THC resides.
Once disolved, it will attach to glucose polymers that bring all components from the small intestine to the bloodstream, including the THC.
Once in the bloodstream, they will attach themselves to lipids present in the blood. These lipids will then circulate the body into 77,000,000,000 (thats 77 trillion) cells.
Once in the cell, they will be stored into the fatty membrance that protects the cellular DNA from damaging substances.
(This is why pot can stay in your system for up to a month or even more for heavy users)
As the THC is transported to all these cells, many will migrate towards the brain...because the brain is made of mostly fat...near 70% in most people, and probably 99% in BobBong's.
Once in the brain, the now converted THC will attached itself to neuron transmitters, but most importantly, neuron receptors.
Once attached to these, they act by "SQUEEZING" or placing a gravity pressure specific force to the neuron trans/recept. It is this squeezing action that creates the misfiring of electrical signals from the receptors and the incomplete and innefficient reception of these elctical signals.
THIS IS WHAT CAUSES the "BUZZ" feeling. It is this squeezing action that causes short term memory loss.
All of the above scenario is completely capable of happening as long as fat is present in the bloodstream.
The more fat in the substance or stomach, the more THC will be absorbed.
THC DOES NOT REQUIRE HEAT OR ANY OTHER TRANFORMING ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS OTHER THAN SOLVENT BASED TO ACT UPON THE BRAIN.
So to be told you have to cook, heat, or in any other way fuck with the temperature to absorb THC through the dietary tract, is pure 100% BULLSHIT.
DO NOT BELIEVE THIS HIPPY LEGEND AS IT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE.
And I will be here everytime to ensure that this type of information that is simply wrong will not go uncorrected.
Whether I am arrogant or not is at this point irrelevant. The Facts are Fact and listening to the tales of a 20 year old nurse who reads a cook book is not always the best source of FACT.
In this case, you can take HARD ON's specific arrogance as FACT.
Enjoy :)
