Who is using MMJ in a non psychoactive way?

Interesting.. I thought it had to bond to fat.

When you ingest pot as a whole, THC doesn't need to bind to anything except a receptor.
Anandamide, our personal cannabinoid if you want to put it that way has the like reception of Delta 9 THC. It's compatible both ways. Regular ingestion of pot, raw or whatever will impart a high. What I'm thinking is your THC may be either evaporating or something because if it's not making you feel much of anything, you're probably not consuming THC at all. A gram isn't much, but other terpenes and cannabinoids exist in the flower that have higher melting points so those are still staying there.
Two things I just draw from this; your pot may be cbd-laden which is good and barely any THC. Or just low THC level that has been degraded to cbd-n and this has a more "medicinal" effect that you'd want for a tired body. Not sure any other conclusions to follow up with but since your tea doesn't have milk or anything in it, the THC isn't binding to anything,If anything it's minimal and you may feel what may be like a "homeopathic" dose. It's not enough to detect as a high but you resolve to say your tea tastes really good. Take a step back and think about it.

I made some for a fried today. He really liked it. Said he felt a mild buzz. The buds are excellent. I smoked a little of each strain and let friends try it. Pretty good buzz. Yea, it seems more homeopathic to me. I believe the plant is nourishing and rather magic. I definitely enjoy the smell and the taste. I'm glad it doesn't get me intoxicated like smoking does..

I'm having a wide eye moment here since this goes against my perception of treatment centers and probation. I could have a crazy conversation regarding the whole substances here.
You're basically saying they didn't care that you smoked and they felt that it was beneficial as a treatment? I'm floored. Was this government related? Tell me more.

Yeah when I told my barrister they couldn't believe it.

I had a major coke problem back in the day it had me in a really bad place, I went to prison for possession of stolen goods, Rolex, Cartier, Glasgutte, Panerai, that kind of stolen goods. I was caught red handed and spilled the beans about the life I was living, major drug debt, dependency, dishonesty, I was basically dealing in stolen goods to pay for my habit. After spending almost a year in prison on remand I went to court and was assessed by probation who said I clearly fit the criteria for a drugs testing and rehabilitation order (first offence, remorse, good character etc). The judge took leaniancy and slapped me on the wrist. I was going home.

My only requirements were that I not test positive for cocaine and obviously stay out of trouble. At numerous meetings and assessments I was praised for keeping off the coke and away from crime, after 6 month I was required to go in front of the judge again as part of an assessment by the probation trust. The judge never batted an eyelid as my drug counsellor told them I had been testing positive for canabis twice a week for 6 month lol. He commended me and told me to keep up the fight with my addiction and to stay out of trouble, which I did.

Probation seemed to believe that because I've smoked cannabis since being young that it wasn't my trigger and was acctually stopping me from assosciating with the kind of people that would lead me back to hard drugs, they agreed that when I smoke I just wanna chill and spend time with family, and because it wasn't (then) classed as an addictive substance it wasn't putting me in danger of re-offending if I hadn't had a smoke.

6month later came and I was back in front of the judge and again he didn't care that I was smoking cannabis, he was more interested about y I tested positive for codeine so I provided my doctors note about my shoulder and off I walked again.

Throughout all of this my probation officer was impeccable and really was fundamental to my recovery, she believed that cannabis wasn't a problem for ME. She didn't condone drug use in any way but said that I needed to concentrate on beating the cocaine addiction and smoking took my mind off it and kept me out of trigger situations. She also said that quitting my beloved herb would just stress me out more and possibly make me turn to coke again.

At the end of the 18 month drug testing period I had another meeting with the judge who again commended me on my strength in beating my addiction, he even cut 6 months worth of drug tests and said they would be better used for someone who needed it.

I like telling this story because it restores a little faith in the penal system. These guys could have locked me away in a cell for 5 years after which I would've had the same problems I started with, they didn't, they gave me a chance and now i have a nice life, I pay my taxes, I like to think I'm a good citizen, I've got a family now and I owe it to them for giving me a second chance.

Hope u enjoyed that lol

This is Exactly what I wanted to ready about. You have done many things including beating the stereotype that drugs make you reoffend the same crime. You changed your vice and even the smoke Id hardly call it a vice. I was reading a small article that explained how marihuana is the "exit drug", research has shown that cannabis use has the ability to handle substance abuse without being so invasive. Most treatment centers are harsh, they make it cold turkey but MJ makes that edge so much less so.
This is such a great success story and I couldn't have put it better myself. Believe me when I tell you I enjoyed reading every word because in our world like today where drug users are punished for using drugs, you got the way out how it should be. You were treated with respect the more you went into it and a judge allowing you to smoke because it was helping you away from criminal activity is the epitome of resolution. Double hands up my man, that is a really good story and a great life lesson. Thanks for sharing

I'll tell you a story. I was probably about..9-11years old at this time. My aunt owned a cider press and would make cider often in the fall. Mind you that only we would slightly filter this stuff. Just a cheese cloth. Great fresh stuff but the shelf life was interesting. Anyways we went to a holiday festival in the state of Washington and would drive up to Canada the next day since the border was less than 20 mins away. She brought some of this apple cider in a thermos and I poured myself a cup while we looked at Christmas lights.
A little while goes by and I'm pouring cup after cup enjoying myself, everything is just right. But I feel more joyous and warm, not tingly but lifted? how would you explain as a kid that you're getting a little bit buzzed on apple cider? That would be new to me but it was very minimal. A homeopathic dose would be correct,
Didn't get out of control or more buzzed but it was probably the fact that the alcohol level was so low that my metabolism was keeping me from doing more. Maybe we ran out of apple cider but it's kinda interesting that you could set purely homemade cider in a fridge and leave it for a little bit, your holiday may seem a little warmer because it fermented just slightly. Cheers.

Yeah marijuana was my exit drug, it was my family more than anything that stopped me re-offending but marijuana takes a lot of credit too. I got back to respecting my body and mind thanks to smoking. When I was doing coke (which was all the time) I didn't smoke much weed, when I was in prison I smoked and it just made me contemplate my actions and my decisions more than ever, I had the headspace to reflect on my life and what went wrong and what I could do with it. It made me realise. When i smoke I still reflect like I did in prison. I'm not a spiritual person or anything like that so il just say it allowed me to fix my mind but my mother is a spiritual person and she said smoking allowed me to cleanse my soul.

There is a reason why marijuana is a big thing in some religions, but you don't need to be religious to use it to connect with yourself.

I drink it in tea almost nightly and have for years. Depends on the strain how "stoned" you feel, some don't seem to do much of anything but they are relaxing, I mix it with chamomile tea which itself is a relaxant. Much better than a sleeping pill and I sleep great. One strain I have which is a heavy indica called Blue Pyramid gets me stoned to the point where I have about 15-20 minutes and then have to crash. If you decarb it, it produces a stronger stone but then you have to put in into one of those tea balls or something to avoid all the little pieces floating around in your tea. I was diagnosed and treated for lymphoma 6 years ago and the doctors have always told me they can't cure it, and that it will come back at some point. I call bull-shit, I go see my oncologist every 6 months and he scratches his head as to why I'm so healthy with no signs of the cancer. Is it the MJ? idk but I believe it has something to do with it, I take nothing else for any ailments, no pharma shit at all, just tea's, capsules I make with coconut oil, vape and smoke it.

Honestly I like mj for that reason, it's a big reflection moment and it gets personal without getting overwhelming or getting you stuck. Many drugs do this but it becomes a vicious cycle that people continue to use and stifle the feelings but they don't repair the damage until it's too late. Glad you salvaged that. I'm not religious either, but it definitely puts a cap on you to say "hey you need to remember a few things, life seems insignificant but you're the only one who decides if that controls you"

I suffer from chronic pain and sleeping difficulties , my main drive to medicate but i haven't had too much experience with ingesting it with say a cookie or a tea etc. I did have a bad experience with ingesting some cannabis leaves as a kid which triggered depersonalization / derealization . I think this keeps me from attempting to medicate other ways which could have less control . I fear if i dose with an edible the high might be too intense ... and once you are too high on an edible , it could be a long and rough ride for someone like me . I feel like my anxiety would wreck me .. i might consider when my tolerance is high enough some day . I have kept it pretty low the last 6 months . I am interested in the tea though , when you say its just a mild high .. it would be nice to have something relieve my pain without messing me up . Would you just use the leaves / shake or the bud to make it? I currently try to accomplish these effects with higher CDB strains but ... the strains i have got do not seem to be all that high in CBD to me . I still get pretty high when i medicate with them ( maybe i really am just a super light weight ) . Thanks for sharing , i should look into this option . A heavy high can overwhelm me too easily which is why i try to dose carefully , especially if i have something to do that day .
