ok so apparently heating up your weed to vaporize cannabinoids or dissolve them in fat breaks a COOH off the THC and makes it from THCA (Acidic) into normal, psychoactive THC (neutral). And apparently we have plenty of receptors for acidic THCA, but it does not get you high. Supposedly it is 5-10 times better as an antioxidant and has other highly beneficial properties. I started eating a .1 of raw weed every morning about a week ago and, though it might be a placebo, I've been feeling extremely energetic (almost to a dangerously manic level). I find that I can lift more weights, work harder, remember things better, I feel more confident and I find that ingesting neutral THC (smoking weed) no longer gives me bad paranoia. Now I'm not saying to 'juice' "one whole weed plant" every morning, but I've just been eating 0.1-0.2g of weed buds in my yoghurt. Of course, since this is not always fresh weed, there is certainly a little bit of neutral THC in there and I do get a very mild buzz on the bus in the morning, but it is a good buzz and I tend to feel pretty nice all day. All of what I am saying is, of course, anecdotal evidence to the benefits of raw kush, but check out this patent. They are basically claiming that their phytocannabinoid extract is good for fighting (and preventing) cancer and it contains over 50% non-active THC and CBD http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20130059018 . This THCa thing has not been totally proven yet, and there is a lot of debate around it in the medical marijuana community, but I speculate that it is beneficial. Anybody else try the raw weed thing? I'm finding that it's making me feel very good -- but I have to take a day off here and there because it's almost making me feel too good, to the point of hypomania. I find that I get to sleep faster, have more detailed dreams, and remember them better. And I find that I need less sleep. I keep waking up early as fuck, wake and baking and then just getting super hyper. If this i a placebo, it's a good one.
I have never tried raw weed because I am stoner and want to be high. But I have heard allot about it. There are allot of people who shy away from weed because of the high but if they can find a way to get benefit without it they are very interested.
well supposedly if you eat a small amount of raw weed (We're talking like 1 or 2$ worth of marijuana here, at small qtty. prices), it improves the high off of the vapourized/ fat-dissolved cannabinoids. It is supposed to reduce paranoia and improve euphoria.... but that's jsut speculation. It seems to work for me though
