weed sucks.
You're supposed to suck on the weed, not the other way around.
i did more than suck. i ate the dang thing.
Takes a lot more when you eat it than when smoke it
That really depends on several factors.
First is the freshness of the product, but the growing conditions affect not only the concentrations of active ingredients, but the balance of certain ones. The more volatile oils, which the digestive tract can break down easily, escape to evaporation quickly if not ingested soon after the plant stops growing.
Another point about the most volatile oils is that they are only present as hormones during the end of the plant's reproductive cycle and if the herb is cut at anytime other than the flowering stage, the less volatile (and more difficult to digest) growth hormones are the most prominent.
People who use typical dried, commercially available herb for teas and cakes are not able to release the oils as efficiently (especially if the oils have already evaporated) as when the herb is freshly cut and only partially dried. Not even mentioning the fact that often commercially available herb has been cut for a year or more before it reaches its destination, often stored in terrible conditions, alternating heat and moisture levels. There is barely anything of the essential oils left.
Cut it when it is flowering and dry it for about a day in shade, then make your tea and cakes and teacakes and caketeas and .......
I have also heard that there is something "special" that happens when combined with chocolate, but I have no first hand experience with this effect or if it actually does make a difference.. I do know that herbal brownies are popular, but I always thought it was because the flavors of chocolate and sweeteners were better at hiding the flavors of the herb.
Kind of funny giving a stealth-bomb brownie to an uptight asshole and watching him get stoned.
