Absorbing THC through your skin..

[Miggy]

i don't know whether it's because I smoked the day before or because I was just burnt. But the other day, I was handling some sticky weed just before school and when I got on the bus, I felt like a semi-high. For like the next 4 hours or so, I felt weird. I had random people come up to me and go "Are you high?" Teachers were looking at me weird; my eyes were red. Maybe this was the absorption mentioned in an earlier posts?

No miggy you didnt get high from handling weed. You were probably just burnt out at you said in the first sentence.

i will have to shoot this down, just from personal experience, as extremely inefficient.

however, if i win powerball i might fill apool with this lube and go swimming, just for fun

lol

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that cannabis has mostly been used as an oil or tea, and smoking it didn't start until relatively recently, (like the last 150-200 years).

No clue if that has any truth to it, but I would like to try a cannabis bath to see if it really does anything. When I'm rich....

yeah, i wanna try the oil bath lol.. they say olive oil and cannabis together makes it so you can absorb the THC into the skin? anyone know? or try this

to the people going on about THC receptors:

i remember reading on these boards about how our brain also has opium receptors or somethin, so are you saying god wants us to do opiates?? i dont think so..

Our body naturally produces endorphins which offer pain relief and produce euphoria in high amounts (runner's high is caused by an increased production of endorphins). Morphine (and other opiates) work in the same way, binding to the same receptors.

The discovery of receptors in our brain for THC is relatively recent...I'm not sure about all this "god wants us to blah blah blah" but I know that cannabis is natural and
THE BEST THING EVER. :thumbsup:

yeah idk about god or whatever wanting us to get high, but ill say amen to that ^

Try a little olive oil on your skin.It doesn't absorb in that readily. You have to add something to break it down first, so it will absorb better.Some kind of alcohol may do the trick. I'm not a chemist, but I have tried some salves and they do give arthritic relief.They have contained Bees wax & olive oil takes a while for it to penetrate but you still feal waxy.Any chemists out there.
