Ideas to make weed more potent?

I have been a member for years but am just now coming back to the site.

My ? is: Does anyone know of *anything* to increase the "potency" of your weed?

I have some good weed but I am not getting a good buzz from it and I really need it.

(And yes, I know the best way is to cut down but currently that is not an option for me.)

if you're growing, you should get better genetics. if you're buying, buy better weed (it's not good enough). if none of that helps, cut down. don't quite see why that isn't an option but i love coming back from a 2-week break.

When I know I'm not going to have enough weed to get me where I want to go I usually buy a six pack of microbrews to help it along. But a far as making the weed itself more potent... you got me? Wish I knew how too.

There's no magic potion to make a bag more potent. If your growing it as said above get better genetics, if your not then your SOL.

You could always try some bong to head therapy if you smoke mostly pipes. I would never recommend taking an MAOI to someone with no will-power(strict diet or death). Though an MAOI can increase the effects of Cannabis, but as stated before if you die because you haven't kept your diet MAOI friendly it's not my fault you didn't research it.

Alcohol is good to make the Cannabis experience more potent, so is not eating(but that may make you black out/woozy trust me).

So the answer to your question is no there isn't unless you wanna do things to your body your body does not like.

Why can't you cut down? Like how is that NOT an option for you lol?

Are you on any medications for your bipolar disorder(reading from another thread)? Chances are these have to do with why you can't seem to get "high enough". Do not discontinue your medication to get stoned that would be stupid. But this could be a cause for your tolerance.

Monoamine oxidase inhibitor.

Yeah that did spring to mind, the fact that they're generally recognised as something that physically makes you want to stop smoking made me figure otherwise though...

you cant really increase the potency of bud. you can increase the effects with alcohol, a relaxed setting, maybe some incense, just stuff to help you relax and enjoy the buzz.

if possible, just smoke more in one session than normal. next time try to find some better greens

Honestly, the best thing to do would be to concentrate the amount of THC you already have available, i.e: make your own oil/hash/honey/tincture.

true. that should have been the obvious answer.

ooooor... they say eating it makes the effects stronger.

Some people are much less effected to oral ingestion so it's a toss up based on body chemistry really.

I agree with nun though making some honey-oil/iso hash is a good idea. More THC less inhalations = good times

msicidron · 10-12-2009, 05:02 PM

Yeah do this^

and just pack a bongload of herb with a nice amount of the hash oil or whatever you make on top and RIP to your dome until you dont want to be any higher

just curious, but why?

you should still be getting the medical benefits from the THC even if you aren't getting high anymore...

If you're growing, I have been told if your stocks of your plant are large enough to stick a wood wedge in the base and it will shock the plant and put more THC into the buds and leaves.
I would be careful though you may kill the plant.

If you're smoking, all I can tell you is skip every other day. I usually don't get high like I would if I had smoked the previous day.

Here's a little insight into how thc is formed and how it's potency increases with heat.
Free floating cannibinoid molecules will chemically combine at their most efficient level at just over 350 degrees Fahrenheit, which is coincidentally (or not) what the temp is to make brownies.
Raw weed may have a converted THC ratio of perhaps an average of 10 percent of what is chemically available. Joints which typically burn at around 6-700 degrees convert the THC but then break the molecular bond as the cherry gets near due to it's high heat. This gives you a higher conversion but still only attains about 15 per cent thc conversion.
Baking ensures that all free molecules will combine and stay combined due to the proper heat provided for optical chemical conversion. The THC conversion percentage is over 50 percent and can be much higher if done correctly.
This is why people who eat cooked product are more likely to get on the floor wasted and talk to God.
Refine your weed into oil and then cook with it= Max Value and high.
