eating a mango=getting you higher?

So one fo my n00b friends that has started smoking told me some guy he met told him to eat a mango 45 minutes before smoking and then run 10 40 yard sprints 10 minutes before somking to get the blood pumping and then mango supposedly had a chemical in it that gets you higher. Anyone ever heard of anything like this?

I don't know about all that stuff but the first (and only) time I EVER smoked medical herb (white rhino) my mouth felt like a big fuzzy peach. Best bud I have ever smoked. Sorry this post doesn't help but the mango thing made me think of how my mouth felt when i took two tokes off that bud.

the vitamin c is what the mango would be good for and ur just gettting higher quicker becuz ur blood is pumpping faster

that sounds kinda stupid if u ask me.. just wait till after ur high and eat the mango and it will be good as hell

Better get more than one mango though, the munchies can be a mother fucker.

your friends anoob, dont you remember those dayz of findiing out pointless wrong info bout getting high. lol i mean shit he might be right but is iy worth it lol.

lol this guys guna have all the noobs runin round eating mangos lol

I've heard something similar but with grapefruit. Seems like it was in an issue of High Times.

i havent tried it and i really wanted the opinion of it. or if it could ever work.

A quote from Ed Rosenthal out of a cannabis culture issue says:

"Eating a slightly overripe mango about 30 minutes before smoking marijuana increases the intensity of the high. The reason is that Myrcene, one of the odor moleculesin mangos, easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and transports THC across the barrier too. Myrcene is one of the most prevalent odor compounds in marijuana. It has traces of clove, earthy and fruity odors. It is found in mangos and in other fruits as well. I think that one of the differences in perceived potency of different marijuana varieties is the amount of myrcene they contain. Increasing the amount of myrcene in the blood system results in more THC getting to the brain. Anecdotally, people who have tested this theorem report that they agree with it".

Now I don't agree with a lot of what Ed says, but the man does know his marijuana.

interesting. i dont think u could really confirm that by just trying it tho wouldent there have to be some scientific proof.
or is ed a scientist

I'm not really sure. It sounded good though with of those fancy scientific words though.

Nice try but it is the high amount of Myrcene in the mango not the vitamin C

I didn't see that airman was already on top of it

My dumb ass friend told me the same thing... tried it and felt nothing different.
