No reaction to bud?

[GreenDestiny]

Check out the herbal-based sweetener called Stevia. I have a little on hand in case I need to sweeten anything that won't jive with my brown sugar.


from wikipedia:

With its extracts having up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar, stevia has garnered attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternatives. Stevia also has shown promise in medical research for treating such conditions as obesity and high blood pressure. Stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose, even enhancing glucose tolerance; therefore, it is attractive as a natural sweetener to diabetics and others on carbohydrate-controlled diets.

and btw, thanks for the links! I was having a hard time searching with google; kept finding the same thing over and over.

GreenDestiny Reviewed by GreenDestiny on 07-13-2008. No reaction to bud? I haven't posted on here in a while but here goes... One of my old friends from where I used to live is visiting me for the month and we've been smoking. He's not an experienced smoker or anything and HAS been high before. However, we've smoked several times since he's been here, and he's convinced that he hasn't been high any of those times. It's not the bud we're smoking because we've smoked two different strains on separate occasions and I usually get pretty cheeched and I'm experienced. Rating: 5

In fact, it's the sweetener I use most. But the hubby HATES it, so for baking the muffins, I use splenda. But he's beginning to wonder about it's health effects, so it may be phased out soon!

I buy one pound of stevia about once a year- I drink a lot of tea. Owl's Nest Plantation is the place with the best price- comes to less than $40 with S&H! Cheaper than the health food store! :thumbsup:

#1. Make sure you are smoking from a bong. Most other methods are prone to mess-up if you don't have experience.

#2. Make sure he is doing it correctly, take a medium sized hit and make sure he holds it deep for 8 seconds.


Follow these 2 guidelines and smoke 2 bowls, and then see if he doesn't think he is high.

95% of the time, it works every time :thumbsup:.

Goes like this- Most folks make a lot of chemicals called endocannabinoids. Your body needs them for all sorts of things. Some folks don't make enough. Plant cannabinoids, like THC can do the same jobs as endocannabinoids and are "gobbled up" by any "hungry" cell it gets near- the molecules of THC never have a chance to reach your brain. This goes on until the cells are "full" and some of the THC finally makes it to the brain.

I wonder if by consuming cannabis twice a day or more for many years, if the body slows or stops its own natural endocannabinoid production... kinda like testosterone and steroids?

And why can't endocannabinoid be in the dictionary (after all, it is a medically documented deficiency for some) so that it doesn't have to be underlined in red... :wtf:

Any other reviews of stevia, post 'em! I am always looking for natural things to cook with, and Splenda is scary carcinogenic. Isn't it crazy how many American companies (almost all major fast food corps, Splenda, companies using trans-fats, etc) blatantly poison people everyday, with serious and sometimes fatal consequences, yet the natural and safe herbs remain taboo, with the most ignorant attempting to enact jokey prohibition laws. Some kinda irony...

peace :rastasmoke:
