Buzzed at the fingertips

[Green wiggler]

So I dried 7 of my plants in my grow tent for 3 days. It's been hot but cooling down a little, but still in the upper and mid 80s. I keep the floor damp and a bucket of water in the tent with the fans on low for drying. About 40% humidity. Day 3 and they are getting crispy. So I cleaned up 3 of them with no gloves on. I got so buzzed I couldn't remember what strains I was cutting. This didn't happen last year when I cleaned up. So I'm asking myself, Am I growing better weed or just getting thinner skin? This happen to anyone lately?

Are you claiming you got high by touching cannabis?

 

[Green wiggler]

Exactly

 

[fskitch]

Exactly

We’ll you didn’t. Nobody has ever gotten high from skin contact. I make decarboxolated RSO, when eaten gets you high for 5 hours. I also make a rub out of the same RSO for pain and it doesn’t work that way.

Really? What does salve made from cannabis do? Is that just a figment of my imagination too? I smoked a lot of pot in my day and I know what getting high is. This wasn't the same but I was definitely buzzed and I didn't smoke anything, more like hard core dazed, buzzed.

 

[Green wiggler]

I didn't eat any of it. I obviously had to breathe it but I couldn't remember what strains I had been cleaning and which ones I had left to clean. It was pretty weird. I'm 60 years old and never experienced that type of buzz before, but I've never cleaned that much weed before at one time

This was different. More like dazed abs confused.

its going up your nose

 

[ismann]

I don't know but it isn't biologically possible to get buzzed touching carboxolated cannabis. Even ingesting it won't work.

THC will not make it into the bloodstream through skin contact.

I wear gloves to trim, otherwise I get way too high to be productive.

 

[Budzbuddha]

Maybe it was the PM / Mold spores.

 

[Green wiggler]

I may if been breathing in the dust pathogens. All I know is it was weird

 

[Green wiggler]

Appreciate all the input. Guess I'm gonna have to wear a dust mask and goggles to trim. It could enter through your eyes, I guess. I painted cars for 20 years and that's why I quit. The chemicals were entering my blood stream though my eyes and would whoop my ass after spraying a car. I wore a suit, gloves and respirator but no goggles . This is another possibility

 

[groworm]

Did you use any fungicide or insecticide on the plants?

 

[Green wiggler]

Never

 

[GrodanLightfoot]

Someone call a UK newspaper and tell them there's a new variety of weed even stronger than skunk. COOKIES GETS YOU HIGH JUST TOUCHING IT. 10 TIMES STRONGER THAN FENTANAL

 

[Green wiggler]

Down cobra. No need to get upset. I'm just posting what happened to me.

Possible allergic/adverse reaction? Some people who work around lots of plants have to wear "armor" sleeves but that's usually for hives & skin irritation .. .??
