Yeah I ate it raw once because I thought I was being followed by cops and it didn't do anything. Decarboxylation (heat) is what's needed to make it active edibly.

Marijuana is a plant. Therefore its been around for quite a looooong time and it grows unrelated to humans. The fact that humans have THC receptors is one hell of a coincidence but the plant has thc stored in it. Now imagine you're a cave man and you just got done clubbin your woman. You're strollin through the field and you find this plant, it smells fantastic so you try eating some of it. Of course as a caveman you dont have a lighter or a pipe or brownies or an oven or any source of heat so smoking it isnt gonna come to mind, so naturally the caveman would eat it. Now the fact that marijuana is activated by heat is a huge misconception. THC is vaporised at a certain temperature (somewhere around 380 F i believe) and that vapor is released from the plant. When you bring a flame to the bud, the flame is much muuuuuch hotter (somethin like 1200 F i think) and that means that the chemical compounds that make up the plant itself are going to be vaporised and destroyed and thats why the bud turns to ash. This simply is just changing the state of the chemicals, but in raw bud the THC is just in a different state, a solid state. By ingesting the THC crystals your stomach digests it by breaking down the material into its respective components. In this manner THC is released from the plant and absorbed through your stomach lining into your blood stream. From there it goes to your brain and you get high. Yes you can eat raw bud, it just wont hit you as strongly as smoking it will. The human body is not 100% efficient at breaking down plant material, but burning it just removes that problem all together and so 100% of the THC is released.

You make a good point and now I am truly on the fence. I'm too scared of wasting good bud to try it, but I've even been wary of edibles. I didn't even like concentrates until I started making my own hash because I was so used to the idea of bud+flame=high and no other variants. But that was a couple of years ago... Hmm... *cocks head to the side*

so decarboxylation is a magic on switch that must be turned to ingest bud... sounds like bull to me but im no expert

when I made my bubble hash I licked the spoon that I used to scrape between screens! by the end of seven screens you could feel it! lol.....

One time when my friend was really drunk we didn't have a piece and he ate the 20 sack he had bought lol. He said he didn't feel anything later, but the alcohol could've just been covering it up. Interesting to think about...

both sides of the story are right... and to put it in the simplest terms its because of metabolic rates that people have are different...

some with slower metabolisms arent going to get the same effect that someone with a faster one

That's a good point. I suppose in a similar way some people swear the Nutmeg trip is utter bollocks and others swear eating it will make you trip balls (even though it is proven myristicin affects you through oral ingestion)

Of course it will get you high, it doesn't have to reach a temp, I mean hell you can absorb THC through your skin...! You just have to have something there that can break it down like alcohol, or fat...

Could the varied results of eating raw bud have something to do with our dietary habits, bearing this in mind?

if you eat buds......you will get fucked up.

yes sir. When I do little trims of the lower buds on my plants I eat those little bastards up. Went for a walk with company over the weekend so I snipped myself a couple of good sized ones and gobbled them. This was after eating breakfast about an hour before and we were driving 45 minutes to some cliffs for the walk. About 15 minutes before we got there I got the first little twinges of buzz coming through. Half an hour into the walk I was mel-fucking-low. If your friend eats 3 grams of good cured bud, he's gonna get fucked up. Guaranteed.

ok its been about an hour since i ingested the bud and i did so on a completely empty stomach.
i am STARVING but trying to wait to see if anything happens
so far... nothing. a mild buzz. afaik smoking seems to work better, faster, harder - im sure its different from person to person but for me this is just too mild.

I used to work at a waterpark. I'd roll a couple of joints of mid grade stuff and eat them 1/2 a joint at a time over the course of an hour or two. I'd be chillin' all day. I guess my point is it's a helpful dosage guide. Break up enough weed for 2 j's and that's a good amount to eat for a chill body buzz. Break up enough for 3 or 4 and you'll be baked without the baking.

Eating cured nugs might have some effect, eating fresh cannabis is an essential vegetable.
Curing converts some of the inactive acids to active cannabinoids, similar to heating.

^ Eating fresh and eating cured. They both get you fucked up. You just have to eat a bit more when it's fresh.

So, are you bragging or moaning?

Yes, you will have effects from eating leaves and buds even raw, you will need to eat a bit tho depending on how potent medicine you have.

My friend wants to eat his 3 grams just raw like put them in a cup fill it with water and just eat it..Will he get high? Im telling him hes stupid but he insist on trying...is he going to get high?

I seriously hate the internet.

I want to die laughing right now, but I don't know if this^ post is serious or done as a joke, so I'm not sure what I wanna do right now. I just want to laugh my fucking ass off right now at the fact that somebody thinks dipping their weed into water then proceeding to eat it, will get them high. The fact that this idea seemed like a plausible idea in someone's small, tiny tiny brain, makes me not want to call myself a human being.

I've lost faith in humanity.

Instead of using the internet for information and misinterpreting it I suggest you try something yourself before acting like you're all smart and experienced. It doesn't need to be heat-activated in order for you to feel the effects. If you ate 2 pounds of weed (any kind) basically, you would be fucked out of your mind for days. If you think you're so right, I dare you to eat a gram of Hash raw, hell I dare you to eat a g of Schwag, you would still get so fucked up.

Anyway to those who do want to try it, don't ever eat that much. A Small nug of Hash is enough for you to be high for a long ass time, longer than you would be when smoking it. Basically take the same amount you would smoke and put it in your mouth, make sure you clean it out if you have Schwag or something, get rid of seeds and stems as you would when smoking it (they can make you pretty sick), and chug it down with some water. Oh yeah and make sure you are on an empty stomach when you do it. I don't do it often because I just like smoking it, but if you are one of those who don't want to smoke anymore, it's a good alternative. It takes an hour or so, sometimes more for the effects to kick in, but once they do you will be pretty baked, guaranteed. If you eat too much you might be nauseous so be carefu, when I ate my first time I ate way too much and when I woke up in the morning I was throwing up. Why did I eat so much? Because I thought you would need more than you do when you smoke. But as it turns out that's not the case at all, and it takes roughly the same amount for a more powerful effect.

Lmao. Clearly this guy^^ never seen hash in his life or doesn't know what a nug is.

"a nug of hash"

loool. sorry man, too funny, had to.

why eat it raw ? when you can make a delicious brownie, or a milkshake that will always make you really high
