Consuming Cannabis

[Pharm Girl]

When cannabis is eaten, THC and the other cannabinoids compounds that create the high enter the blood stream via the digestive system. This is a slower and less predictable process than when cannabis is smoked. Whereas smoking produces an almost instant high, the effects of eating can take anywhere between 15 and 90 minutes to arrive. The time taken for the high to come on is affected by the way the food is prepared, the ingredients used and the amount of food passing through the digestive system at the time.

Soon after being swallowed, the cannibinated food reaches your stomach, it is churned around in a mixture of acid and enzymes. Now liquefied, the food is squirted into the intestines. Here, more enzymes and bile work on the fat in the food and the cannabinoids are absorbed, through the intestinal walls, into the blood stream.
Once in the blood stream, the psychoative compounds are on a high speed tube ride to your brain. Usually, within 45 minutes of swallowing, some of the cannabinoids will have reached the neural receptors in the brain and the user will begin to notice the effects. As more and more of the chemicals make there way through the system, the user will become stoned.

how did u cook it, and what did u eat?

[Prophet Saddam]

I would recommend cooking weed into food to anyone, i just tried it for the first time last night, we only used about an eighth probably and got 5 people incredi-stoned

First time with edibles?

Nice going, but I would have expected you to have tried by now.

[NudeIntruder]

Ooooh i love having cannabis in food and tea.. but still, nothing like the real thing.. a nice bob marley joint or a beautiful pipe hit =)

One time I tried cannabis milk..., you take a can of condenced milk, a bush of weak weed, condence the milk with about half a litter watter and boil weed there, it's the way out when the weed is weak..., but one time I tried and hardly died, I drank 100 grams of that milk and I was pale as a-a....., milk...., with blue tint on my lips...., the problem with it iss that you can never know how strong is the milk and how much do you need..., since that time i realized that nothing is better than to take a joint or better a bong a have some hits of pure odor....

you can cook anything with weed,what you do id saute it in some butter,careful not to burn,the oils are drawen out,then you use to cook,you can make brownins like we all know,but you can make other stuff like pan fried fish,or some vegies,stuff like that,anything you would use butter on you can use this mixture,did salmon one time and it tasted pretty good and got pretty fucked up in the process,lol,have a good one

sorry forgot 1 very important step,.after sauteing the bud strain threw a china cap or other small holed strainer,gets the fibers out

what about salads; I have had to eat leaves before but not because I wanted to and it has been many years since I did it. Can anything be done with them in their raw form? Thanks

[Pharm Girl]

Raw form.....sure, I'd throw it in a spaghetti sauce. Or on Garlic Bread.

DIY: Blender Hash

Check out the last pic..........just what yer looking fer!

Thanks Pharm Girl, that sounds tastyeeeeee. Is there a strain that tastes better raw? I notice a texture difference in different strains; the rabbits and deer and general livestock that ate crops from years ago did not seem to prefer one over another. They did seem to prefer the new growth areas or the buds during season. Thanks again.

Is there anyway to make the effects more predictable? Does it depend on the strength of the buds/shake in the first place or is the cooking process that makes the difference in the effect? Also, is there any greater medical benefit/danger to consumption vs smoking or to stop the effects if they are too intense? I am thinking in particular of diabetics and others with metabolic and/or digestive problems?

I am in the near future gonna try and make gonja gumbo!! I have wanted to try it, but it is gonna take a couple of oz I am sure, and with this economy....money is tight and I don't want to take away from my all day blazes.

I've been making cannibutter and baking with that. I've found that almond extract works well at masking the "green" tast in baked goods. I am now looking into cooking with hash. Is there a difference in preparing the butter or oil, other than the amount of hash as opposed to leaf?

dudes i just ate my first pot brownie about an hour ago...


so....... mellowwwww...... it's nice.

When smoking, it depends on how LONG you keep it in. Personal experience only. Consumption is gradual and it also depends on how MUCH you consume at once.
It depends SOLELY on how your OWN body can deal with the THC levels. Everyone is different.

[al-Mu'akhkhir]

^ it is not how "long you keep it in"...
