eating cannabis?

so, I've never smoked anything as the thought of smoke in my lungs doesn't entice me to try it, but I was recently having a discussion with a friend of mine who I hadn't seen in a while and she was saying that she now eats weed because she doesn't like the idea of smoking it too much anymore.

According to her, by eating it you get a better, longer lasting high. I'm just curious what other people's experiences are with this. As I said, not into smoking, but I think I'd give the whole downing a shot.

Thanks

 

i smoke a lot but when the circumstances don't allow me to smoke, i just eat weed. i haven't tried a lot of recipes though. the Leary biscuit os okay.. ritz cracker, cheese, weed, microwave/toaster oven, taddaaaaa!

but the high you get from smoking it is better (from my experience), because i feel like it goes directly to my brain. eating weed just makes me fell heavy, dreamy and sleepy. and i don't giggle a lot, unlike when i smoke it.

 

i'd say use a vaporizer if you're afraid you'll damage your lungs. like baibye said, eating is a whole different high.

 

I concur.

Eating pot produces a very different effect vs. smoking it.
I've seen people collapse from eating too many happy oatmeal cookies (just too sedated to function). I've never seen anyone collapse from smoking bud.
Luckily both times the people affected were with dozens of their friends who looked after them.
But it's entirely possible to be so immoblized from eating pot that your house could catch on fire and you wouldn't be able to move, just watch as the flames got closer and closer until you died.
And there's no way to know in advance how much is just right. Pot varies in potency, so every time you mix some up, you need to test a little bit at first and adjust the amt. accordingly.
I mix up large batches of canna-butter and use that to make cookies and other happy foods. I generally don't use them when friends come over, but they're great for pain relief or as a sleeping aid.

 

Thanks for the info, I might consider a vaporizer, not sure how to use it to get a high though Also another peson I know had recently been telling me about "hash oil" at least thats what I think it was called, its made by putting the weed through some process that basically draings all the hihg inducing chemicals from it and into a liquid. Dont remember how you are supposed to take it, but sounded interesting.

 

This weekend at some party, smoking blunts of haze, I saw this one kid pass out in mid sentence.. he was trying to say some shit to me and it was just degrading slowly into jabberwocky as he was talking til he just passed out...

 

you could extract the cannabinoids, but from there it's still the same as eating it, unless you smoke it. a vaporizer heats the bud up below its combustion point so you inhale vapor instead of smoke.

 

well like ranger said..eating it makes it way more intense, actually about 3 times stronger..if youve never been high before then eating it will probably be way too intense..i guess you could buy a vaporizor if your not poor like me lol but its going to be at least 100 dollars (and thats for a cheap one off ebay) so if your going to buy that id plan on being a stoner..unless like i said you got alot of money..but neways..ive heard vaporizing is way more intense than smoking as well so either way be ready for a ride..

 

yeah if i lived outside of my parents house i would totally invest in a volcano but i can only do it outside

 

you don't NEED an expensive vaporizer, you can get high off a cheap vapopipe, it just won't be as effective or pleasant.

 

I'll see what I can find about vapopipes, as I just want to try it and see what its like. Thanks for the help all. How should I go about it? water with bud in the vaporizer, then just turn it on and puff away?

 

Does eating the herb itself do anything? Or does it just work when you make pot butter or whatever?

 

In ever tried eating it i was wodnering the same thing , i might buy some and experement heh?

 

eating it solo doesn't do anything.

 

you need to eat alot more weed to get high than you would by just smoking it

 

I ate 3 Leary biscuits last night and I could feel it tingling everywhere, including my teeth.

 

stop being a pussy and just smoke it.

And if this tip was too brutle for you, let me discourage your wanting to eat it frequently by saying, its gonna cost more, because it takes more

 

You also smoked after you ate it, ...thus throwing your expiriment in the toilet

 

However, SirTokes, to some folks and I'd guess this chaw the health of his lungs is worth the extra bucks.

 

hey, its not my money... do what you want
