Ok guys, as promised here's one of the blogposts, take a look at it and hit me with all you got :lol:


What Happens If You Eat Weed

The phrase “eating weed” conjures up the image of a goat chowing down of some fresh marijuana buds. But that is not all it means, you can either chew some fresh green nugs (highly unlikely) or infuse your meals and baked goodies with some THC loaded herb or oil.

Should you choose to try out some raw weed, this is what you should know;

First, it is never going to get you high and over the moon! The psychoactive component in weed that gives the typical marijuana high (euphoria) is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Weed in its raw form contains THCA, the acidic form of the cannabinoid. This acidic form needs to be heated up in order to breakdown into THC, through a process known as decarboxylation. So when you take raw weed, what you will be getting is THCA and not THC.

More than that, raw weed tastes awful!

On the flip side, THCA, as well as CBDA the acidic precursor of CBD, have been shown to have therapeutic properties in their own rights. So as much as you will be missing out on the high, you will still be getting some nutrients in.

Considering how repulsive the taste of raw weed is, you could try out some tastier alternatives that give a more potent buzz.

What Happens When You Eat Weed Edibles?
The most common way to have weed is by inhaling it in different ways. Alternatively, you could consume weed-infused edibles such as the popular weed cookies.

When you ingest foods containing weed, delta-9-THC is transported through the walls of your stomach, into the intestines and finds itself in the liver. In the liver, most of the Delta-9-THC is metabolized and converted into 11-OH-THC even before it has had a chance to bind onto cannabinoid receptors. This effect is known as the first pass effect. After this the remaining THC is moved into the circulation and find into the heart, brain, and other organs. Both THC and 11-OH-THC are transported to the brain simultaneously.

Because of the prolonged pathway taken when weed is ingested, it takes a longer time to get the “high”, usually about three hours. In comparison, when you inhale weed you will begin to feel the cerebral effects almost instantly. On the other hand, the effects of ingested weed will last longer.

All of this has been covered, multiple times, in multiple posts, in multiple sub forums, including this one.

The search function is in the upper right corner.
I know, I was just looking for input on the writing, I'm helping them edit but because they are friends of mine sometimes they don't like how I criticize their blog so seeing it from other people than me can help them understand

Juicing raw cannabis is a great way to ingest huge amounts of THC for medical purposes without getting stoned. I have a brother that juices buds and leaves into smoothies.
Nice, and he doesn't decarb it I suppose, it would be dry, it's almost like rosin but in juice, can he feel the THC? Does he need a lot of bud to juice it?

He juices it fresh so it is not dried or decarbed, the goal is to absorb mass amounts of THC without getting high. Decarbing it would get you high, even drying it will partially decarb it and get you somewhat high, and drying it wouldn't really give you anything to juice!

No he doesn't feel the THC because that's the point. He juices whatever he wants when he wants to or has fresh buds. I don't believe he is doing any sort of regimen or anything.

That's what I thought so it's actually raw weed, so no high, that's interesting is it like a supplement then? Or more like a spice?

The only weed I eat often is weed flowers, fresh white buds that are growing where I don't want them, they taste pretty great, this coming from someone who doesn't really like vegetables.
I think juicing is the best form of gaining what the plant has to offer if getting lifted isn't your main goal..
