question - my first hash experience in NEPAL

[beejo]

And beejo, if you're ever in the Toronto area, I'll smoke you a nice J...welcome to the few, the proud, and the hungry! you can now be called stoner!

haha, thanks. : )

you guys' 'diagnosis' did help... did some research too. found out that:

"Eating marijuana has a different effect than smoking it. It not only takes longer before the feeling starts, but it stays longer as well. This makes it more difficult to dosage the stuff. It's easy to get too much of THC in your blood which can give you a very good trip or a very bad trip. You wouldn't be the first one ending up in the hospital. So before eating marijuana you should have some experience."

Hmm, no wonder my experience was intense. Ah well. at least it didn't turn me off to the weed.... just makes me more cautious as to who i smoke with. i always am with alcohol but i guess it goes with weed, too.

by the way, do you guys know if hash is basically a stronger strain of marijuana, and if it is easily available or not?

Welcome back Beejo. Yeah when you injest cannabis your body is going to get all the THC out of it. Smoking it wastes about 50% of the THC through resins deposits, exhaled smoke, and second hand smoke. Hash isn't a different type of cannabis strain. What hash is is the compacted resin glands that are collected from buds. There are several methods to extract the tricomes(THC glands), but when they are extracted it looks almost like fine brown sugar. This is compacted into dark brown pieces of hash. It is just pure THC, as opposed to smoking bud which is plant matter covered with THC. It is very much a stronger, more potent smoke. You are not going to die or need medical assistance from having too much THC, it in the users head mostly when they panic and think they are dying.

Smoking marijuana also destroys a lot of the cannaboid compounds present. A lot have very low boiling and melting points and stuff and are destroyed by the heat of the fire when smoked. Eating wont raise the temp enough to destroy these, so you get all the cannaboids into your system in active form.

Oh good point! I didn't know this thanks. But that also explains why vapor hits and solarpuffing also produce a cleaner hit.
