I highly suggest you bringing in a print of a highly reputable study on thc degradation the the human body and the variables

that is a very good idea, i really appreciate it bro.

Resins all over your wrist & arms (not just hands which have thicker skin) + soap with glycerin in it + hot shower = I was very fucking stoned

I was there so it happened, and I am sure being in a room with a crop of fresh frosty gooey shishkaberry plants after trimming for many hours contributed as well. This was quite a few years ago now & I am far less messy these days and don't have a big scrogged out net of buds to dismantle. There is just noway to avoid the smearing with that sticky situation!

i got a buddy that cant smoke because he just gets way to paranoid to the point where he thinks hes going to have a heart attack. he was over helping trim and didnt have any gloves on lol i let him work for about and hour before i said something just enough time for some to be absorbed needless to say he was a little bent up

Also would like to add if you are in a hot room and sweating this opens up the pores and some psychoactive oils can certainly be absorbed through your skin, Not perfect full absorbtion but if you get enough on you there is no doubt you can get a buzz from handling fresh sticky resinous colas. The skin on your hands however is much thicker than say that of your wrists or forearm which would be far more likely to absorb some THC & other cannabinoids.

Idk, maybe you guys are right, SOTF you had to have been caked up man, lol. the way you put it with the soap+heat+sweat I could see how it could happen. I have actually gotten alcohol and butane extracts in open cuts on my hands before and no high for me but thats just me. Last night I accidentally sprayed liquid butane in an open cut, DAMN that shit hurt. I know i didnt get high from it because I was so mad that I actually had to smoke because I was so pissed that it happened

that was crazy to see butane boiling in this huge ass paper cut.... it cryo fucked it, lol

[SOTF420]

lol, yeah man I was slimed up pretty good that old shishka cut I used to run back in the day was stupid frosty. Hope you get those cuts healed man! Stay well, stay high

For what it's worth I don't fuck with butane just too evil for me man, bad vibes.

I feel ya and I respect your stance on the tane, but for me it has relieved a steady cough, throat clearing type thing, plus I just feel tons better since I dont "smoke" anymore. I know a vaporiser would do the same thing but it taste jacked up, burnt celery is not for me. And we usually have(to smoke) a Texas cut called "Lemon OG" its from the DFW, taste rediculous if you smoke it make oil from it, and oh man the bubble is wicked... but if you vape it... it taste like broccoil & celery fucked then got steamed.... thats why I dont just use a regular vaporiser.

Im only 25, formerly with a presistant cough. I had to do something differently. Plus Im finding many pros with bho, like i can does myself up if I know Im not going to be able to vape any more oil for say 10-12hrs, I just hit a 1/6-1/4g of oil before I leave the house and im good all day long, no craving at the day job, nada. Its kick ass because used to I would be wanting to go smoke on my lunch break and now im just chilled out. its more like taking actual medicine than using weed as a medicine because of the thc content, imo.

[SOTF420]

Totally understand my bro, there are just much safer ways to make oil but glad it works for you. I absolutely love vapes and there is no doubt 95% of herb tastes amazing vaped if you don't have the temps too high or smoke the same bowl for too long or of course it will taste like burnt popcorn

Keep it grapfruity!

i would say so. -thinking of nicotine patches as reference.

I have been taking a urine drug screen every 3 month for 3 years. I trim with gloves but handle sticky buds and hash all the time. I just stop smoking a month before the test. I try not to leave resin on my skin for a long time. My girl says that i permanently smell like herb though hehe.
