Mark,

Excellent post. There are a couple errors on the liver-digestion process. First off everything goes through the intestines from there capillaries gather the broken down digested matierals and take it via the portal vein into the liver. That's why it takes so long to feel the effects the THC doesn't just need to get into the blood stream it needs to be filtered through the liver where it's stucture is changed slightly and then it hits the brain. Also the oil is needed because the human body can not digest and absorb all plant material but will readily absorb oil some easier then others and that is why you can get different results using different oils.

Emo,

A burr grinder would be a bitch to clean! You want a regular coffee grinder that you can get into so you can scrape out what sticks to the sides and it will stick. Mr. Coffee makes one that is less then $20 I got mine at Walmart it has a "cleaning system" that helps with the scraping.
