Oh yes it is... :stoned:
The heating is used only to convert the THCA into THC, as usually the cannabinoids in the plant material are present in greater quantity as THCA(inactive) instead THC(active).
But if the weed is properly cured, all the THCA was already tranformed in THC, and if you eat this weed, or extract the resin with some solvent, thus making hash oil, and then ingest it, surely you will get high, even if the weed were not heated in the process.
Coelho Reviewed by Coelho on . Quick Question About Burning Weed I've read that thc is burnt as soon as the flame touches the weed, is this correct? if so then wouldn't that mean that when you share a bowl with a friend the second person to hit it gets no thc ? i know there is other things in weed that gets you stoned but im talking about just the thc.
