Is most of the THC gone after the 1st hit?

[Opie Yutts]

I didn't realize this was an argument. I was kind of thinking it was a discussion, or brainstorm.

But aren't nearly all the canniboids in the resin, and isn't nearly all the resin in the trichomes? If I burn plant matter nothing happens. You need to burn the trichomes to get high. That is why you wait until the bud is nice and frosty with trichomes. Otherwise people would be harvesting during the vegatitve state. This has been my understanding for the past 25 years. Have I been wrong all this time?

the actual green itself has thc in the buds
Yes, but very little. I know there is THC in the plant matter too, but isn't it like maybe 1% of what is in the trichomes? Isn't that why we harvest the nice n frosty parts, the parts with the trichomes, and throw the rest away?

Opie Yutts Reviewed by Opie Yutts on 05-21-2006. Is most of the THC gone after the 1st hit? I had this thought. Let's say you load a bowl that has 4 good hits in it. You light the first hit, and kind of move the flame around over the bowl as you're taking the hit. The flame is drawn down over pretty much all of the weed in the bowl. Aren't most of the trichomes burned up in the first hit? In other words, isn't most (I don't know, 95%?) of the resin and THC burned up in the first hit, leaving the other hits smoking mostly only plant matter? If there is resin hiding, packed away Rating: 5

And I just thought of something else, Sirsmokesalot. When you vaporise instead of burn, you get more high and none of the plant matter was burned. How do you explain this?

touche opie.

for the record i apologize for sounding a little grumpy in my last post.

[sirsmokesalot]

by the way i always used my vaporized bud, which is somewhat burned, to cook with afterwards. just out of curiosity where do those psychoactives come from?

[da haze meister]

ummm actually the buds have ALOT of THC in them
like ALOT
notice that if you roll and the trichomes fall off it still gets u high!

Eshelmen: I am talking about a party bong load, or just a bong load that would have 4 good hits in it. And I assume a blunt would have a similar effect, it would just be more towards the end, making maybe the last half inch much less potent than the first half inch.

exact opposite... the roach end of your blunt/joint will be more potent because the smoke runs through the weed and deposits resin, works just like those chamber pipes that you stick weed in.

[Opie Yutts]

I see, that makes sense.

[sirsmokesalot]

but opie,

why is it than when i grind my bud fine enough to collect almost all the resin and press it into hash, smoking the bud still gets me fucked up? hmmmmm?

[IanCurtisWishlist]

you don't harvest in the vegitative state because the plant produces THC when it's maturing--ie when it's budding. the buds hold most of the THC, however the trichromes are very potent. hashish is pressed trichromes. it's not just the trichromes that get you high-- if that were the case, what would be the point of owning a grinder with a screen??? the plant produces THC when flowering, in the buds; that's why you smoke the buds. it's not just the trichromes that get you high, although it's the best product in my opinion.

^^^ word

pretty much what i was trying to say
