Dude, the radiation it uses isn't the kind of radiation that occur from things such as Uranium, carbon, and other radioactive isotopes (which are gamma rays, alpha and beta particles). And as mentioned above, the waves exite the polar water molecules. Where the disconnect is it the question of what heat does.

Look up isomerization. It's the idea that there are molecules that are similar to THC within the plant that can be activated into THC when heated. The issue is making sure that you do not overheat it and damage the trichomes as also mentioned above.

Here's a good link. Check out what this guy says about the isomerization process.

JohnGalt Reviewed by JohnGalt on . Microwave Hey, i made an account jsut to to ask this. I looked at all of the stuff about microwaving your weed to make it stronger and i tried it. It turns out that it works incredibly well. It seemed kind of too good to be healthy. DOes anybody know about the health risks of doing this, such as radiation. Maybe all of the radiation from the microwave makes it stronger and its bad for you when you smoke it. I really want to continue doing this but i'm thinking that there prbably are some risks. Is there Rating: 5
