Gray Wolf:

Interesting that you should respond to this thread, because someone in these parts told me I should take my question to someone else in these parts with your very name. May be a coincidence, but perhaps not, since you're in the same state, so that may be roughly the same parts!

Yes, I've learned that I'm apparently going to need to start with a high-CBD strain to begin with, rather than trying to tiptoe around the THC. I'd love something like the Catalyst you mentioned!

I have tried prepping tinctures without heat, so as to not decarboxylate, and I'm going to try using immature plants, which presumably have the CBD bioavailable before the THC even comes to fruition, as it were.

The butter I made using the leftover vegetation from a few runs through the bubble bags was way too psychoactive for my liking. I figured that after the hash process, whatever remained--if anything--would be really mild, but I got SUPER stoned from it...for a LONG TIME. Note that I don't make much distinction between being high, or stoned, or buzzed, though I gather that there is some agreement among regular users as to what these subjective terms mean. I just wasn't in my right mind and didn't like it, and couldn't sleep it off.

For some reason, there seems to be a lot of OLD trim around here in which I am guessing the THC has degraded into CBN, so I'm going to try a couple things with that too, though I am leery about what "disoriented" means with respect to CBNs. I've seen that elsewhere, as well. Hmmm! I wonder if that isn't what I got out of my butter experiment, just a bunch of tenacious CBNs that had survived six trips through the bubble bags and then 22 hours of slow simmering .... I guess I could say I was disoriented. It was pretty hallucinogenic for at least a couple hours.... but there shouldn't have been much THC left, after all that, eh?

Any further thots?

stressmom Reviewed by stressmom on . Is there any way to avoid the high? This will seem an odd question here, I suppose, but I seriously cannot stand the cannabis high. I never liked it when I was young and healthy. I don't like it now that I'm old and hurting. I have read there are ways to process it so that the THC breaks down to CBD? CBN? (one of those) which will be helpful for my pain without getting me all frikkin buzzed. If I can't figure something out, I have to stick with narcotics, but they are brutal on my liver.
