Basically it would take very large amounts of raw very high grade oil, mixed with the right adjuncts to promote skin absorbtion to get any effect and to test positive on a test. Or if you do extractions with butane and are really messy, then that can do it too if enough spills on your skin (although it can cause frostbite so I don't recommend it).

You don't need to heat the oil to 325 degrees to release the cannabinoids through your skin or through injestion, that is the point the oil becomes vapor and is best suited for smoking or vapo. People injest all the time. If heating to 325 degrees were the only way it would work it would burn your mouth, throat, stomach, etc if you ate it at that temprature.
Holy crap. OK you made lotions with oil. That oil was at one point heated. And I never said it had to be 325 as it was going into your mouth. The resins of the marijuana plant must be heated at some point to realease the THC and CNB. Smoking, vaporizing, brownies, tincture, hash oil, are all heated at some point to around 325 before going into your mouth. Instructions with my vaporizor say to set the temp to 350.

After you are done rubbing your weed on yourself to see if this works, many of the trichomes will have been rubbed off on your skin. Scrape these up and smoke them. They are what get you high, not the vegatative matter. If you eat them without heating them, it will taste like oil or tar, and nothing else will happen. Send me any leftover test weed.
