such a thing as better THC?

[rizzo69]

pretty much i want to know if there's a difference in quality of thc?

for random example let's say white widow has a thc level of 25% and super skunk as well with a thc level of 25% both same amount of crystal prduction(ish) but is some THC from certain plants stronger than others regardless of the rating?

it's a hard question to describe i guess but if you catch what i mean help me out

yes it is documented. I don't remember where I read it but there are several variations to the chemical structure of THC's.
There is this senthitic THC I think it's called marrenol. It was made for cancer patients and is not made from a plant at all. Apparently the high is super strong and not that nice.

oh so i could have 2 seperate 1 gram nugs of weed with both exactly the same amount of crystals and one of them could possibly get me WAY higher than the other?

ya you can get noticeably higher off the dank weed with less crystals than the bc bud that is super crystaly here in washington state.

one interesting test is to make water/bubble hash with the various pot. You will see some pot produces more and some produce less, also some hash is WAY better.

indica has a very different high to sativa. One is body stone and one is head stone.
there are 2 chemicals that vary in different amounts in pot.
cant remember the names but yes 2 different 25% buds can have VERY different effects.

There is THC which is what gets you high, then there is CBD and CBN, which if I remember correctly give the body stone. Most Sativas are higher in THC but don't have a lot of CBD or CBN, and Indicas have less THC and more CBD and CBN. It can vary greatly between strains though so this is more of a general guideline.

I was going to come in here with a big "Chemistry Lecture". But I can see,at least, you're on the right track now!

Wouldn't there absolutely have to be? I mean, two different strains can have very similar THC and canniboid levels but have noticeably different stones. Right?

 

[DarkSarcasm420]

true, but using the crystallation method (looking at how many crystals are on the bud and leaves) is not really that accurate seeing as the plant itself contains THC within the leaves and buds and not just in the crystals. therefore a plant can show lots of crystals and get you the same high as a plant the has fewer crystals. the plant with fewer crystals probably built up a higher concentration of thc inside the bud.

for example... when you hit a freshly packed bowl you get the high extremely fast. the each toke after just adds a little more to the high. if you take a hit off of the same bowl after the outer crystals have been burned away you will probably notice that you dont get as high off the crystaless hit as you do off the crystally hit.

you have to consider that before each hit you are sober. ask this of yourself. could you still get high if there were no crystals on the bud. and the answer is yes. you can still get high. maybe not as pleasantly high. but youde still be high.

Exactly, THC is only a part of the picture...
