I have these plants at around week 3 of flower:

C99 G13 Labs
Chemdawg HSO
Iced Grapefruit Female Sds
Lithium OG Kush Nirvana
Black Domina Sensi Sds
WW DP
Cannatonic Resin Sds
Diamond Cookies Moxie

I trimmed some budlets and leaves on Friday, gently water-sauteéd them for around 5 minutes, and ate them. I had no intention of getting high (as I had to go to work later); I wanted the dark leafy green nutrition. To my utter surprise, I got high as heck, and it lasted all day.

So: this kind of destroys what has been said so much: leaves don't get you high. And these were leaves without trichomes!! However, the terpenes are most definitely present, and the leaves tasted peppery and pungent, with floral background.

45 minutes after eating them, I began to feel the high, and it got stronger over the next two hours. It had amazing medicinal effects for me, both mentally and physically. I realized afterwards that it would have been perfect with way less THC-effect. I got through my day at work all right, but I should have been at home chillin.

Conclusion: The terpenes are a crucial part of the high. From how high I was at this stage of growth, I think I would be terrified to re-try it with trichome-laden leaves; I'd be tripping for days.

Question: Was there or was there not THC present? That is the question. Were THC and CBD creating the medicinal impact? If not, what was?

Question: Was I lied to about how to get the effects of cannabis? Are the commonly-held beliefs about when and how it gets us high and pain-free all wrong? Or have they left something crucial out about cooking with fresh cannabis greens?

I will be working on how to store fresh leaves (I've got some frozen, and wonder how that will impact the result); or how could I extract from them? What is lost when oils and extracts are produced? What changes when leaves are dried?

What was it about the fresh, young leaves and budlets that got me so high??? Why am I having difficulty finding any information about this?

Was the water you boiled them in from Flint?

Just kidding...

I've recovered oil from just leaves - and I remember smoking leaves in the distant past. There is definitely THC there, just not nearly as much as in buds and sugar leaves

No, not smoking them: gently cooking them got me high as fuck all day. Then I repeated the experiment with friends yesterday, who were high as fuck all day.

It depend what else was in your stomach/colon. Fatty substances would allow the cannabinoids to get absorbed to get you medicated. When there are no fats/oils then you wouldn't have any effect, so I believe...bro...

[gaiusmarius]

eating fresh cooked leaves with no trichs shouldn't really get you high at all, let alone "high as fuck"

[Phineas Freak]

Sounds incredible. How much did you eat?

[SilverHazer]

There's an old video where two guys in face masks make some budder and some infused oil. I remember one of the dudes saying that THC is converted by the liver into a compound which is stronger than THC.

I also don't believe the old wive's tale that you have to mix weed with fats for it to work. There have been plenty of times that I eat a fresh nug, or a piece of concentrate, and half an hour later I'm feeling irie. I'm not saying that making a legit edible won't be more effective than munching on some larf, but munching on some larf has never failed to get me high. $.02

That would be the 11-hydroxy-thc metabolite. It is stronger.

As much as I know the bhang-lassis of india or nepal are often made with fresh fan leaves.


Maybe the question is
What fertilizer did you give to your plant?
Does the fertilizer get you high when smoked?

You ate some buds. You got high.

Yeah, so?

[sourpuss]

Please share the amount of leaves and amount of budlets ate to achieve this?
