Marijuana Drinks, Need experimenter help

I know all about weedihol, but I'm trying to get a knowledgeable person to help me answer a few questions or do the experiments for me. This would be for anyone who is interested in finding out about making light weed drinks that don't contain any alcohol. This is to make a comparitive drink to alcohol that is healthier and not super strong and would work for politcal activism reasons in the future. (simply because comparing drinks is much easier and will increase legalization efforts, because as we know prejudice is about image and you got to play the game)

I already know marijuana drinks without alcohol can be made, but they are made in India and there is only one and it is very strong very strong ( called "bhang lassi"). I'm trying to find out how much weed it takes to make a light strength drink that would be socially acceptable in strength and in form of consumption, drinking, and would not contain alcohol, for health reasons. Most importantly I need somebody to create various drinks with different flavours and ingrediants just as is done with alcohol. These drinks do not exist in Inida. There is only really one type there.

The experiment:
The idea is to use drinks that contain butter or fats such as creams or milks or other things that can absorb THC. Try to make a drink that tastes good and is not going to send you on a trip like a brownie. The idea is to use a little to get a nice buzz with one drink, something stronger than like a %4 beer, but not really strong either.

This is important because if we made drinking marijuana popular or created a book of marijuana drinks that tasted good and just used marijuana and were quick to make, unlike weedihol, then we would have a level playing field to compare it to alcohol without the smoking variable, which is what is causing the bad image. If you want weed legal you must recognize that promoting drinking to smoking is the way and that even when weed is made legal it is going to made into drinks anyway, so we might as well help the process.

-Thanks, this is going to be interesting new science...

 

unfortunately the theory of the plan is a bit skewed by teh fact that marijuana can take up to an hour to come on when ingested.

alcohol is absorbed as soon as it is in your body, it is even absorbed through your mouth.

weed is not absorbed until it gets beyond your stomach.

thus people would not be able to dirnk it without having to wait a while for the effects tot come on, and this is a large risk of overdose because people would drink a lot without realising how stoned they may get (or at least, without realising at the time exactly how it will feel or how incapacitated they will be).

but you can always try.

it just wont really be on par with alcohol with its functionality.

 

now everyone knows about your million dollar idea. I think its a cool concept but it wont happen and work.

 

only one way to find out

 

When a person drinks an alcoholic beverage, about 20 percent of the alcohol is absorbed in the stomach and about 80 percent is absorbed in the small intestine. How fast the alcohol is absorbed depends upon several things:
1.The concentration of alcohol in the beverage - The greater the concentration, the faster the absorption.
2.The type of drink - Carbonated beverages tend to speed up the absorption of alcohol.
3.Whether the stomach is full or empty - Food slows down alcohol absorption.

Ok, if 80% is absorbed through the small intestine that means that is after it goes through the stomach, but I know alcohol reacts within like 2 minutes of drinking it a little. I thought a friend of mine told me that when he drank marijuana-alcohol that he could feel it in less than 20 minutes. Plus I think people could get used to the idea of waiting a little while in order to make it more social in public and to not smoke. Also, I don't see the rush and think it could become part of a wonderful social tradition to wait in anticipation for it. Still I understand that waiting too long is not good and you are right about problems there. Perhaps there are ways to spped it up by using carbonated beverages or such. I wish there could be an experiment. I was hoping to at least find out the quantity that should be used to make a slightly stronger than beer drink but using marijuana. Something like a very small hit, but don't use any alcohol and find out how to make a good variety of good tasting drinks.

 

its hard to say - you need more weed to feel it when eating it but it lasts longer.

its really random, you would have to do a big test with many people and a lot of weed to work out what works.

i dont see whats so bad with inhaling it. vapourisers would be very common if weed was legal
