Boiling Roots that familiar

supposed to stop migraines ...???

grinding roots would give you a migraine

lol
Boiling the roots to extract THC? Bunk
Boiling the roots to immediately cut off o2? I'm not so sure. RM3 makes a very compelling argument with this theory and backs it with some science. :wink:


I wonder how much we'd have to raise in a Kickstarter campaign to get a MythBusters "Cannabis Edition" to dispel all the B.S.?

I saw a question on another forum the other day where a dude was asking if pee from a woman would make female plants because of estrogen in the pee. lmfao for hours at that one.
:clap:
I would definitely support that! Each process of every myth broken down? Hell yeah I would support that.
Where do I sign up? :P

I kill mine at the precise moment she tells me she is ready, she wants me too, its the whole point. She watches for a couple months while weekly several of her room mates are chopped down without warning. They line up for the event, the ones closest to the door, under the MH are so anxious to be chopped they reach out to me every time I enter the room
I imagine Ted Bundy's thought processes were eerily similar!

Goddamn , that'd be an awesome show! I'd watch every week for as long as it was on!

Cutting the plant will form an embolism in the stem stopping fluid transfer, starting drying almost immediately. Leaving the roots, it might take a couple days before it stops moving fluid from the roots through the plant. I could see it maybe being beneficial in dry environments to slow drying, but no other real benefits. Cut a branch, hang the rest with roots, see what happens.
Well, she lives in Bolivia so I guess she's in a pretty dry climate, even though it isn't her reason for doing this. I am now thinking that the humidity in my country (which is not Bolivia) would probably not be helpful in the drying process and especially not with all the roots on it.

Someone had to just point out that theirs none to zero THC/CBN/CND/etc in the roots


I got booted for that ..facepalm!
Sounds pretty extreme.

I just checked that out and I wouldn't be brave enough to do it that way.

Anyone else got any Round-The-World mumbo-jumbo on cannabis? I know the Africans in Malawi and Zambia have little tricks they use but most of them actually work lol

PS: According to MethodMan, smoking dead prez's gets you high grades.

somewhere over there they bury their fresh harvested weed for months to cure it.
when they dig it up and use they claim the black molds on it help their marijuana get them high.
must be some dirt shit weed if thats the cure they need to get high.

I dont believe there are any tricks that work. If so, then they wouldnt be tricks at all, but just the way we do it.

There is actual science behind boiling roots. It doesn't make it more potent or anything. It has to do with the drying and curing.
the plant is full of starches and sugar, when those are cut off from oxygen, fermenting happens, the hippie theory was to leave roots soaked in water for 2 weeks to allow fermentation to happen. but that is whack. pouring boiling water over roots supposedly makes it happen in a couple days

If oxygen is not available to animal cells then pyruvate is converted into lactic acid. In plant and yeast cells pyruvate is converted into carbon dioxide and a type of alcohol called ethanol. This process is called fermentation and yields only two molecules of ATP per glucose molecule broken down.

haha when i was a kid we got brick green weed from boston, most of the time it got you plenty high. but when it didn not we would put it in the ground for a month. and it would get you stoned after
