Have you ever activated your weed?

Its a baby sub-sandwich.

Two week old baby too, some of the most tender baby money can buy!

Thinking about it, any changes would be much more noticeable if done with hash. As hash contains more THC, it also contains more THC-A. This would mean that the jump in THC content would be much greater.

Someone should put some hash in the oven 122F for 8 minutes or 200F for 5 minutes , and then compare it with the un-"activated" hash.

This would produce a more definitive result, for those who are looking for one.

You've got more chance of just vaping it away. Personally i'd NEVER try with hash. EVER.

not at 122F, thats nowhere near vaping point.

My bad. I thought i saw C.

I still wouldnt try it with hash though.

And when i tried it with bud it did nothing in the slightest - because it was cured. But people shouldnt be buying fresh bud in the first place - unless they want to be ripped off.

There is a difference between cured, and properly cured.

Most mids arent taken care of near as nice as high quality bud, so its not cured to its full potential.

It's a shame it's on the market. Thats supple and demand for you though. No, actually, it's JUST prohibition. If it wasnt illegal people wouldnt be able to make a quick buck from it.

I had some asshole that I shared this with start selling his stuff he got as higher quality then it was, because he microwaved it.

I promptly told every one of his customers what he was doing, and how to do it, and solved that problem right there.

It takes all kinds, and I can honestly see people not properly curing the bud if they are mass producing medium quality things, and trying to get it out on the market quickly.

Well... i think it may not work. If you mean hash oil, which is made extracting the resin from the weed with some suitable solvent (butane, ether, acetone, alcohol, etc), it wont work because the THCa (which is transformed in THC by decarboxilation) is NOT soluble in that solvents. So, when you extract the resin, the THCa remain in the plant material.

Thats why the weed is decarboxilated before extracting the THC , as you can read in the Green Dragon recipe, for example.

Anyway, i myself use a similar process in my hash oil. I put it into a very small glass with boiling water, and heat it for 2-3 hours, adding water to keeping the level the same, when the water evaporates.
The reaction which occurs in this case is not decarboxilation, but isomerization. The CBD (which produces the indica stone) is isomerized to THC (which produces sativa high). As this reaction is harder to happen, it needs more time to be complete.

And, for everybody who asked for some "scientifical evidence"... there is the link from where i learned this processes:

Enjoy, and happy activating! :thumbsup::rastasmoke::stoned:

BUMP for this thread! Always there is new members, and they should know this wonderful technique... :stoned:
