Chewing Stems

[RomperStomper]

Hey guys, I'm new, but this forum is really impressive. I'm glad I found it!

So I come from a little farming town and the local stoners have a practice of saving and chewing stems, claiming it'll give you a little buzz.

Any truth, or just placebo?

 

[k-town]

I don't think so but I chew on stems every once in a while just for the flavor.

Welcome to RIU by the way, hope to see ya around.

Peace

I do this every once and a while, but never a fresh stem, and i have never got a buzz, that i know of, i doubt i would notice it, cause more than likely i just smoked....

 

[jomal206]

Yeah I never got into this...a few people I knew would chew dank stems....but I don't really see that point 0.o

 

[DaCDaC]

I dont think you would. Dont think that the THC content would be high enough in just a stem.

But i could be wrong.

Try it and report back : ) hah

 

[LoganSmith]

Maybe if you don't smoke. and you had a very low tall. for the high.

 

[Phynch]

just save a ton of them and then boil them and throw some butter in the pan and make a glass of tea with all of them you save up from the month or somthing hahaha thats what i do and i never know because i cant wait with out bustin a peice out

i was speaking to a mate about this the other day

i dont see how it would work coz there aint n e thing to activate the thc?

if this was the case then you could get stoned by chewing on a bud lol

I chew on the stems all the time but I do it just for the flavor too, never noticed getting a little buzzed off of them.

what do u mean by activate the thc?

 

[twostarhotel]

i heard its not good to even smoke stems so ive never thought of putting one in my mouth

 

[thecloset]

isnt thc heat activated? i thought that's why you can only burn it or cook it

 

[Hiesman]

no thc isn't heat activated, you just have to get it into your system and it will "activate" on its own. You could eat a bud plain with nothing and get high but I wouldn't suggest that, cause it tastes like shit.

 

[Smoke2Live420]

eating bud gives u a lot longer of a high

seriously mate??
go swallow 3.5g of buds and tell me you feel stoned ?
if you could get stoned of just eating buds then obviously you would as it wouldnt damage your lungs at all and remove pretty much all health risks...
im not a scientist or anything, just a stoner who likes to know stuff lol
and from what i can remember you need fat or heat to activate thc, i know alcohol absorbs ths so i think it might activate it cant remember

when i say activate thc i mean get it so that your body can absorb it and you can feel the efects

i dont want to sound like a smart ass or anything im just trying to share info ive picked up over the years, and i dont mean word of mouth lol i mean stuff that at some point has been proved to me with some facts.

when you say eating buds i think you should explain that you mean when used in a stoner recipe not just eating the actual bud lol.

my English seems so bad tonight but i cant be bothered to sort it out...soz

 

[Hiesman]

trust me man... u dont need heat to "activate" the affects of thc... if you eat it plain.. it'll get u just as high... even higher than just smoking it... ur the only person ive heard of to say anything about activation of thc... real talk... if u take a bud... put it in your mout... and then chew... then swallow... wait a while for your body to digest it and when its being digested your body will absorb it into your blood line and u will get high

 

[iToke]

do what you want, makes no difference to me

My understanding is that you need to break down the cell walls prior to ingesting for your digestive system to get at the good stuff. Cooking it in butter is a great way to do this coz all the THC comes out of the cells and into the butter

 

[Tom R.]

I don't know how you people think how you think that THC has to become active, it has to dry then it becomes active.

go snort some kief then

 

[Mr. Limpet]

go snort some kief then

Im with him on this one.

Yeah you might get high from just eating it but if its cooked or heated or whatever it works better.
