how are you preparing the weedRehab is for Quitters said:Okay all, I have followed the directions to the letter on a completely empty stomach, and I still can't get baked from eating herb. I even used twice as much mj as the recipe called for. *** is wrong with me?? I would really like to get to the bottom of this...so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I really can't figure out why I'm not getting high.
POTUS: I don't know where the "has to be heated" crap was thought up, but it's pure unadulterated bull. Pure myth.
Please don't spread the bull. There are enough facts to use.
Anyone who feels that they can show any repeatable scientific facts that support the myth of thc having to be heated to have effect on humans can prove it simply by showing the study that says so.
Pretty funny. This has been covered about 100 times here.

Medical marijuana is also consumed orally, especially by long-term medical users with acute chronic conditions. In that method, as with oral pharmaceutical preparations, medical effectiveness depends on digestion and the individual's relative ability to absorb the medicinal compounds through the stomach lining. In general, marijuana that is eaten takes several hours for full effectiveness, but once absorbed, cannabis compounds may remain active in the body for an entire day or night. Eating marijuana can be even more medically effective than smoking or vaporizing, but usually requires the use of much greater amounts. For some patients, the slightly different effects of eating marijuana can be too overwhelming. For others, oral ingestion may be less effective in symptomatic relief than inhalation.
Concurrent use of pharmaceutical drugs may influence the bioavailability of cannabis - some drugs can deaden the body's ability to absorb cannabis compounds, creating the need for a higher-than-average dose level. Other patients depend on medical marijuana to keep from vomiting up their oral medications, and so their need for a specific dose of cannabis compounds may fluctuate with their body's day-to-day reaction to those nauseating pharmaceutical drugs. Marijuana is commonly used to offset the overwhelming side-effects of other drugs, and so the applicable dose range can vary widely. And even discounting the effects of other medications, cannabis may be more easily absorbed by some patients than others due to fundamental differences in individual metabolisms.
A study published in the July issue of the Journal Anesthesiology discovered that oral cannabis (a form of medical marijuana) not only failed to alleviate certain types of pain in human volunteers but, surprisingly, it instead caused increased sensitivity to some forms of pain.
In their research, Birgit Kraft, M.D., and her colleagues from the Medical University of Vienna evaluated the analgesic potency of orally administered cannabis extract that included its main psychoactive component, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
"The surprising result of our study was the absence of any kind of analgesic activity of THC-standardized cannabis extract on experimentally induced pain using well-established human model procedures," said Dr. Kraft. "Our results also seem to support the impression that high doses of cannabinoids may even cause increased sensitivity in certain pain conditions."
In Dr. Kraft's study, 18 healthy female volunteers were given oral cannabis extract or active placebo and then evaluated for heat and electrical pain thresholds in skin areas of experimentally induced sun burn, an accepted approach to assessing responses to acute pain.
Previous studies have suggested that cannabis and THC may be effective in treating chronic pain, such as in cancer patients, patients with spinal cord injury, or those with multiple sclerosis. And, though inconsistent, some studies on patients with acute pain have suggested beneficial effects
Consistent with the uncertainty about oral cannabis ingestion evaluated in this study, there is also uncertainty in the research community as to whether inhaled cannabis might prove more efficacious for pain relief than orally ingested cannabis.
Dr. Kraft's results concerning oral cannabis for acute pain were seemingly conclusive. "From comparisons with previous clinical data, the lack of pain relief from the cannabis dosage and oral administration in our study cannot be considered the result of inadequate dosage or insufficient gastrointestinal absorption," said Dr. Kraft. "The high levels of THC detected in the blood of our subjects as well as the occurrence of typical THC side effects argue for sufficient availability, and thus we draw the conclusion that THC was not effective in treating acute pain."
Dr. Kraft stressed, however, that cannabis may still remain a viable option for certain types of chronic pain patients.
"Pain is a very complex and subjective phenomena," she said. "Chronic pain has not only been shown to lead to changes in peripheral and central neuronal processing, but also to be associated with psychosocial problems, physical disorders, and functional disabilities. Recent studies have indicated that cannabis can be effective in treating certain types of chronic pain and helping patients to cope by improving quality of life."
Dr. Kraft and her colleagues concluded that contemporary treatment strategies that rely on experimentally proven therapies still remain the best option for most patients suffering acute pain.
"In patients with acute pain, other analgesic drugs such as narcotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) produce more reliable and potent analgesia," she said.

thc is thc is thc is thc
If it goes into your body in a form that is still psychoactive, it'll get you high regardless of the method. Your body uses it via the blood/brain system. It can enter your system via injection, smoking, snorting, orally, anally or through your nostrils. It makes no difference.
Once it arrives at your bloodstream it's just thc and is handled exactly the same regardless of how it got there.
P.S. Please, don't anyone start shoving needles in their arm to get high. There's more to it than that. You would have to use a form of thc that could be injected.
Folks, for every true fact about marijuana, there are a hundred myths that are propagated continuously. Please, ask before you believe some baloney you hear.
Remember, the truth can be backed up by scientific facts that have been proven. Just because some guy says "Hey, it worked for me". Sometimes, the stories are just stories.
In today's world of medical nanotechnology, very little about MJ is unknown.
Peace folks.
