are there really any downsides to weed when u eat it??

the only reason ppl say weed can possibly be bad for u is because like cigarettes, it can fuck up ur lungs w/ the carcinogens and w/e.


but, if u ingest it, there are no problems with ur lungs... just the high.


so to me, i don't see any downsides to ingesting weed.
1. no downsides
2. doesn't fuck up ur lungs
3. can't be detected / caught (from smell, smoke, etc.)


i used to stay away from it kuz i thought cookin it at the right temp / method and all that was a hassle, but i found a new way to simply bake about .5 grams in tinfoil for 30 sec. and get the best highs ever.



so... anyone dare to contest?
i mean, i like smokin just as much as the next man, but it seems like there are no con's to ingesting weed. i'm starting to find it the most efficient way to get high.. time-wise, weed-wise, money-wise, etc.

explain the recipe for the 30 secs plz...

yea i would like to know is recipie for 30 secs also and if it works.. i not gonna smoke any more cept for 420..... but i hate having to wait and prepare and make firecrackers so i just usualy end up smoking a bowl... its such a hassle becuase only 50 percent of the time i cook them right... so please share this recipie to us... and also i cant think of any downsides to weed if u injest it also... but i guess the smell from cooking brownies can get u busted but there no physical downside at all i think please some on correct me if i wrong...

Wait, so you just bake the weed, alone, for 30 seconds in an oven? What temperature? I've been wondering if this actually works, since precooking is a step in the definitive Green Dragon recipe here, and I always figured you could ingest it straight afterwards, since the THCA turns to THC.

This would mean firecrackers are unneccesary >.> You'd just need to cook the weed

I'm pretty sure he means firecrackers.

cookin weed is the bee's knees

it would be awesome if the OP came back and explained himself.

Does it smell up yer house at all cookin' it for only 30 seconds?

i wouldnt do it that way, it seems like a waste and you might as well just add some cream and get it to simmer for 5 minutes with buddah and gets you mad fucked. cause when you cook it by itself there will be vapors escaping, where as the cream method doesnt let any escape because it gets absorbed into the milk fat.
peace:jointsmile:
p.s. the recipies in some other thread for the cooking weed in 30 seconds

wanna give us a link?

The way I do it is I just mix some well ground up bud into some peanut butter put it on a cracker and microwave it for like 3 or 4 minutes. Works great.

CHECK THE RECIPES SECTION.
i have a thread in there already.

anyways, seems like no one can come up w/ a downside cept for the hassle of cooking, which is no longer a problem.


i'll just summarize the process here:

1. cut out tinfoil... like.. 3 by 2 inches?
2. get about the amount of weed it usually takes u to get really high (i used .6 g, usually get high as fuck off .5 g smoking)
3. break up the weed well
4. spread it out over like a 1 by 2 inch area of tinfoil
5. fold tinfoil over it to cover everything, and seal it up to create a flat, rectangular tinfoil
6. flatten it out as much as possible; squeeze down on it, whatever, to get the most surface area
7. FINALLY, get ur lighter, hold the tinfoil with pliers or something, and move ur lighter so that u heat up every part of the surface of the tinfoil -- do this for 30 seconds. u will see some vapor, don't worry. if u see too much, then ur burning it. u should only see some wisps.

after ur done, open up the tinfoil and u'll see that the weed is now a slightly darker brown-ish color, but not burnt. it'll smell... "baked". very strong smell, but i guess it can be different for different strains.

u should figure out the particulars (tinfoil size, weed amount) as u try it. but as of yet, this has been my favorite way of getti high. SOOO easy.


my experience:
admittedly, i've only done this twice.

first time, i heard about it from a friend. he just told me to "bake a nug in tinfoil and eat it". somehow, i managed to think up the process above and it WORKED SO FUCKING WELL. i have never been so high in my life... especially off of only .6 g. completely different high from what i usually feel from smokin .5 g (which gets me extremely high as well, but not as much as ingesting) i ate it at 12:30ish at skool. was high by 2:00. was finished by 4:00. and passed out at 6:00 kuz i couldn't get up from my bed. that's probably the only time i have gotten so high that there was NO way i could hide it.

second time,
i thought i was improving the method by baking the weed more, but i realize now that what i thought was "baked" then was actually "burnt". i remember only about 1/4 of the .5 g i used that time was slightly brown (like it should be). everything else was black.

i ingested that anyway, and although it didn't hit that hard at all, i was nice and mellow for about 6 hours. very low high, but it lasted a while.



this method has got to be the best method. ever.

strong, long high
NO hassle of cooking
NO smell / evidence
EASY set-up
all u need: weed + lighter + tinfoil + a minute.

I don't believe it. I'll probably end up trying it if I get an oz, but it seems highly unlikely to work.

^ lol... there are always skeptics... but really. it works. check the other thread under recipes. 2 other ppl have gotten it to work.

and it's only .5 g of weed, not like 3 g as other "experiments" take. y'all should try it out at least once. i guarantee it'll work.

i was a HUGE skeptic at first too tho. but then i thought "y the fuck not" and just decided to try it.... best day of my life.

I'm getting a nice brick of weed (more than an ounce but not sure how much exactly) tonight and I think I'm gonna go ahead and try it.

But I have a quick question, do I put the baked weed in like food or just eat it like that?

^ doesn't matter as long it ends up inside you.

if ur weed isn't top quality, u should use at least 1 g, just to be sure.

i was using some white rhino + red afghan ish for my preparation

There can be some downsides to ingesting weed, but it's all a matter of perspective. Some people don't like eating ganja food because the high can be too strong, it can really cement some people's asses on the couch and put them in a zombie like state. I don't really mind getting zombified from weed, but some people like to retain more function when their high, and don't like the idea of getting too baked.

That's one potential downside, but a pretty weak one at best...:twocents:

I'm not much of a fan of eating weed... I want to know how high I'm getting, not just eat and hope for the best when the time comes. Then again, I've only eaten weed once and the high was pretty intense, though sadly I was asleep and woken up by it when it kicked in... Pretty much woke up and started blacking out... Ahh well...

i posted this on ballins other thread. My downsides to eating:

takes more
you can ruin it if not cooked right
takes a while to work
takes a while to wear off
can be more buzzed than you wanted

Ps i LOVE eating weed.

def gunna try this one outside


peace

This is what I was thinking too. You can get really, really high and the high can take a long time to wear off. It's easy to overdue it and, if you do, you're committed for a while.

The only time I ever ate weed I guess I ate a bit too much :hippy: Some chick I worked with gave me two weed cookies "One will probably do it, but take two just in case". Well, I ate both and it was the highest I had ever been . I ate them about noon and when my girlfriend came home from work about 6:00 she took one look at me and was like "you are sooo fucking stoned" . All in all I had a great time but if I had needed to got o work or do something like that I'd have been fucked.

It does take longer when you eat it. If I remember correctly it took me about 45 minutes or so before I felt it and probably another 30 before I felt the full effect. This is probably the biggest drawback to eating it. It takes so long to feel it that you can eat way too much before you ever know it.

Yep.;)

I have only a very little bit of weed left (saving all my money for my gfs christmas present ;)) so getting a nice long high would be nce ;) Tell you how this all works out for me tommorow after school ;) sounds like it would work...

Hmm eating weed? There shouldnt be a downside, only that your not smoking it lol

The only downside is that I bought my $200 bong for nothing.

There is no downside to eating herb, healthwise. It takes less to get you high when eating, not more.

I tried this multiple times and I got high.

BUT

In a sense are you not vaporizing it? I mean your heating up the foil hot enough to "cook" it. Those wisps, that come out of the tin foil isn't thc evaporating? Just wondering.

With that being said, I got high both times I tried it. Took an hour and half to 2+ hours to take effect.

It's not vaporizing, because you don't let it get too hot.

Don't think I saw that in the instructions. I thought you heated up the tinfoil for those 30 seconds to the point of cooking it yet not burning it, just like a smoke bubble vap.

So you're really 'cooking' it which in every other instance releases THC, but in this example you have nothing to absorb the THC as it releases. I would think that THC would escape thus lessoning the amount you absorb when you eat it.

I mean your either 'vaporizing' or 'cooking' it, both allows THC to release and/or escape.

Either way, Weed is a wonderful thing :stoned::stoned:

I used this method a long time ago when i read it on Overgrow, i did something like 170c for 4 mins in the oven though cos i didn't trust my lighter...I did it two times and it worked both times and your right about the baking smell and the brownish colour...To be safe i ate it with something high in fat both times, once in a cheese sandwich and once i had it mixed in with galaxy melted chocolate that i put in an ice cube tray for bite sized ganja chocs :food10::D

Downsides are, it can be a hassle to prepare ganja food, it reeks out your kitchen (could be bad or good depending on circumstances), takes a while to kick in (took me atleast an hour and a half to hit peak, but then again i may not have eaten on an empty stomach) and it might not be a good idea if you've got shit to do cos the high takes up most of the day lol :thumbsup:

when I ate it I ate it with peanut butter.....just something strong to blah out the taste of eating the weed. I wish it didn't take so long to take effect tho lol. I usually get bored waiting and finish a couple bowls before it actually kicks in.

I love eating weed, usually in the form of Green Dragon. The downside is that it can take all day --- takes an hour and a half to fully kick in, and then last a long time. But if you have all day, that's more of a benefit than a downside.

The other downside is that if you make a recipe, you are not always sure how strong it is, and you can get yourself way too stoned.
