Eating weed gets you high (proof)

jus thought id share something i found on erowid.org


Eating
It is a myth that dried marijuana must be heated before being consumed to activate the cannabanoids. Many people find that raw cannabis leaves and buds can be eaten for strong effects without any pre-heating. It is a common belief that heating the cannabis before ingestion increases its potency and cooking extractions using food oils (such as butter or olive oil) are the most common methods for making cannabis-based foods.[Section Edited by Erowid Feb 19, 2002]

I'm still a bit unsure about this though.... Will eating marijuana strait still work, or does it have to be absorbed into fat-containing products?

Also, could eating it right after a fat-saturated meal work?

And it said the typical dose was an 1/8 of weed to one stick of butter, but do they mean it actually takes an 1/8 to get you high? and if not, how much would I use just for myself?

a lot of recipies take a stick of butter but they make more than one servigs so no u dont need a whole 8th

A friend of mine went to nicarauga (sp?) and ate all his leftover weed before his plane trip. Raw. And he said he felt extremely high for the next couple hours...
So which is it? Can you just eat raw weed?

I would try it

but I wouldn't wanna go through the trouble and get no effect

I'll stick to my chocolate blunts thank you :rasta:

sounds cool, but do you get more high smoking it or eating it raw?

smoking and eating weed give me two diffrent highs smoking is more intense then eting by far. and i am talking about raw un heated or fatsaturated weed... actually chewing on stems and not swalloing them got me high also but not very and it taste pretty bad

I've ate buds while I was on the greyhound. And i gotta say i was stoned. I ate like two grams of primo hydro. I couldnt smoke it so i ate it. I'd do it again.

Ok well be my guess to eat a bunch of raw cannabis ^_^.

i will then. ^_^ OOooo!

Funny, I ate half an 8th raw of good stuff just to see, and NOTHING.

What a waste of good bud.

I'm sure there's SOME extraction of the THC when fats and acid in the stomach break it down..but not nearly enough as much as smoking or vaporizing. Sheesh. Only to be used in a last-ditch situation such as a trip with your parents where you can't smoke, or a plane ride..which sounds like a good idea actually.

Smoking is better than any. By smoking it you're immediately getting THC into your blood stream. I don't like waiting to feel stoned.

I once ate a gram of weed, didn't feel anything for 2 hours. Then i smoked the little tiny pinch of weed that was left from the dimebag, and the entire gram was suddenly activated, leaving me completely fucked for the rest of the night.

one time when i wuz a noob i ate an eighth cuz i thought itd work but i felt absolutely nothing.

i was very dissapointed

why not eat it???? i mean look at the substance...its just plant matter/folige god gave it to us for that purpose....

as a matter of fact, the first knowledge of cannabis use was by people that held buds over a fire to roast them to a golden brown and then drizzle honey on them and eat....

sounds good to me:thumbsup:

I just did a plane ride with firecrackers, with my mom sitting next to me. Luckily it was like 4 am, so my eyes wouldn't be noticeable. When I was going through customs, I felt waves of orgasm-like sensations going from my head to my feet, and it lasted about 12 hours. I now prefer eating to smoking- you absorb ALL of the THC when eating, whereas with smoking, you only absorb about 60%.

can somebody give me a link of a good recipe for firecrackers?

Let me just clear up a little misconception. You CAN eat raw cannabis, but it's pointless if you have access to a stick of butter and a pan.

To give you a little chemistry. You all know that the active ingredients in cannabis are Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol. The reason it gets you high is because it binds to the cannabinoid receptor CB1, which is located in your brain. There are also other Cannabinoids such as Cannabinol, and Cannabidiol, which both account for the "stoned" feeling with cannabis, but these are irrelivant.

THC itself is bonded very nicely to the cannabis plant. It's a very strong bond, and it's not easily broken. However, with some agitation and a nice fat-rich substance (e.g. agitation in the form of heat, and a fat rich substance in the form of butter) this bond is broken.

If you eat weed straight, your body has a much harder time breaking it down, and you're lucky if any THC is broken off from the plant. Of course, if you go and eat a quarter of an oz straight off, it's going to do something.

However, if you simply cook the weed in butter, or a similar fat-rich substance, the THC is absorbed by the fat. Because fat is an organic compound, once it enters your body, it's much MUCH easier to be broken down. The THC simply falls off the fat to put it a simple way, and you're left with lots of THC pumping around your system.

So, to recap, eating it raw will work, but it will require much higher quantities for a lesser effect. Stick to cooking it in fatty/alcoholic substances, or just spliff up :)

Argh sorry - double post.

Couldn't have said it better myself, DC, just didn't want to go through all the technicalities of it, but I guess some people need to be confused into eating cannabis the RIGHT way. Imagine trying to read that stoned :D

Actually a hi heat can destroy the weeds potency..Ive ate weed and cooked it in brownies and always get a buzz more of a body buzz..but why?? smoking weed dont cause cancer or anything like that there arent any receptors in weed like nicotine...I suppose if you wanted to be careful and couldnt' smoke weed because of the smell then brownies or a butter could be good for you..i had a guy i knew that cooked it down in butter then just spread it on his toast or whatever i had some but prefer the stone from smoking it...theres actually alot of medical benifits from it...dont listen to the numnuts who say its bad for you.... the only reason weed became illegal anyway here in the states is because the black slaves used to smoke it and the whitey's thought dam that stuff must be evil..so they made that illegal and legalized alchohol now people who drink die of diseases and people who smoke get thrown in jail...It's a mad mad world we live in

Actually I'm pretty sure it was the mexicans, but you're right apart from that
