Can You Eat BHO without cooking

Beat me to it Twitch :) yeah without converting that thc into thca the effects will be very limited compared to how much you eat. Decarboxylate it first and make the most of it!

Figured I would post this for clarification

"Vac if you ate a gram of bud that has not been cured or many amber heads you will not feel much, if anything but thca isn't the only compound effecting your high so I suspect you might feel something, many terps cross the bb barrier and as the plant ages its naturally decarbed. Even a seedling or veg plant has an average of 2% thc, some will stay and be decarbed. Most hash processes decarb slightly and it decarbs much faster when the moisture of the plant is removed as in extracted trichomes.

Now I said readily cross the Bb barrier, to pass through generally you want to be under a polar surface area of less than 60 angstroms . Thca is 66.. at high doses I would expect some to pass...that's pretty much it... high doses of undecarbed could get you high.."

So if it were decarbed it would not have to be dissolved in a fat ???


Im one of those guys that can stand 20 yards down wind of someone smokeing and get high , I think I will try just eating plain old bud

I have read on this forum that dissolving it in a fat aids in absorption in your digestive tract, and there have been recommendations of using a mixture of oils to enhance this effect. (eg, coconut oil and grapeseed oil).

Instead of wasting bud by just eating it, you could prepare it properly by decarbing and dosing it out so that you can get a lot more value out of your bud ;)

To be orally active at the CB-1 receptors, the THC has to pass the blood brain barrier, which it can't readily in the polar THCA form. The CB-2 receptors are not protected by a blood brain barrier, so CBD ostensibly does not have to be decarboxylated.

We use coconut oil as a admix component, to tie up the liver, so as to leave the cannabinoids in our systems longer.

Basically cleaving the carboxyl group (cooh) off thca in the form of co2 and water leaving you with thc...most effective way is a double boiler and watching co2 bubbles exit

Winterizing is completely different...that's removing the fats and waxes

I suggest a lot of reading...skunkpharms page is a good place to start...
