4. The weed. Its a vital ingredient why wouldn't the quality matter?

The quality you start with will have a tremendous effect on the end results.

We all know that you cant just eat weed alone and get high. The THC has to be activated or released via heat /alcohol.

I am assuming that we all know because they told us so.


I have heard this same line since I started smoking in 1970 and just my own opinion on the matter is that once upon a time the weed was so less potent than it is today that eating it raw was a waste of time and herb but that today's weed is so much stronger that raw consumption is a viable alternative.

While I do not believe that raw consumption is as efficient as eating foods made with fats (canna butter/oil) that have had thc diffused into them.
It is a form of delivery that I find quite enjoyable. Similar to many peoples first few smoking experiences it took a few times before I learned to recognize the high and assorted factors that contribute to success.

1) Just like tinctures and capsules, the drier the weed I start with the better the results.

2) Like other edibles it helps to have my stomach as empty as possible when I consume raw weed.

3) If I don't supplement it with smoking the very pleasant but subtle effects can last for several hours with very little if any crash as compared to smoking.
A great way to keep a low key, functional buzz going when I am around non smoking relatives at holidays.

4) My favorite method of delivery is to stir raw (cleaned of all stems and seeds) weed in to a small cup of yogurt and eat it as part of a morning of wake and bake. I walk the dog to some woods about 1/2 mile from my house and can usually feel something starting to happen within 15-20 minutes and full effects at 1.5-2 hrs. Smoking at this point allows each delivery method to really complement each other.

The THC has to be activated or released via heat /alcohol.

Could you please explain activated THC? If we all know this, how exactly does it work? It was my own inability to explain this concept and a fair amount of personal experimentation that led to believe that they don't know what they are talking about because they have never tried it.
