Hey i just had one question. hope maybe on of the pro's on here could answer.
I recently had a hermaphrodite plant and i pulled it. It was bout 2 weeks into flowering when i pulled it. Now, my question is: Does this plant contain THC- Enough for baking into butter? or anything?
When i made turkey for christmas, i put the stems and leaves all around my turkey and inside for a possible flavor boost! Then took the stock that it was all soaking in and made gravy.
Now, Does this Gravy have any THC in it?

all cannabis plants have THC in them even males. ofcourse males have very little THC even at the highest level. i'm not a pro, but ed rosenthal talks about all that in his new book.

to set the record straight, all part of all marijuana plants contain THC, even roots (though you're talking like .05% or less). The question really is how much, and that will vary so it really unanswerable. Males without bud will contain roughly the same amounts as females without bud (take a look at Mel Frank's and/or Ed Rosenthal's books for specific tested figures). The highest concentration outside bud is in the new growth shoots, but the evidence implies that older growth contained as much, but has had more time for that to degrade to other cannibinoids.

I get quite potent oil from leaves and stems, just not as much as if I used bud. The only thing I don't use for oil is roots, purely because the concentrations are so ridiculously low.

actually he is talking about taking those and cooking them into a high fat dish of food.

regardless, I don't recall anything all that specific from ed, but an acknowledgement that stems and leaves contain thc. It's no where near as much as are in buds, and no question the buds are where it's at, but that by no means implies that the rest of the plant has no value to a user. Lost of people use those parts of the plants to concentrate the smaller amounts of thc, using methods like oil extraction, or butter. Any high fat food will work for this purpose. Yes, it takes a lot more, but using an oz or two of leaf to make butter will still get you really fucked up :)

In cambodia I visited a hemp farm, terrible smoke, great fiber. However, that night they made a magnificent meal with large quantities of the very same hemp they grew. It was quite impressive, and I got quite stoned. Not as stoned as I would have if I'd baked an eighth into a brownie and eaten it, but I was stoned. I estimate I ate somewhere between 12 and 16 oz of pot matter, and it tasted fantastic!

really the question was if there was thc, and there is, but yeah, load leaf and stem into your pipe you will probably get sick before you could smoke enough to get stoned. cooking and extracting is a whole new game, you can concentrate the traces into useful amounts :)

yeah but with 0.65%, by the time its cooked boiled etc the thc is gone.not worth it.

You keep throwing out your leaves and stems, and I'll keep extracting potent oil out of it. You're loss, not mine :)

Seriously though, spouting stuff you really know little about is not going to endear you to the crowd around here. Many many people here do what I'm talking about. Just do a search for hash oil. I'd also suggest looking into the vape point of thc, and maybe read a cookbook or two on the subject. There are several great books on marijuana alchemy and chemistry, great sources of info on this subject!

hehe, it was quite elaborate, nothing like a meal of salad. There was a chicken soup with huge stalks of hemp (like you might find in the states with spinach or something), bread baked with hemp, frogs legs battered with a hemp paste and fried, etc... The whole thing was hosted by a retired general, it was certainly no peasant group eating hemp salads because it was the only food :) I have no idea how much I really ate, but it felt like eating several 3/4lb cheeseburgers when I was done :) Nothing like karaoke, asian style, on a full stomach :)

edit: actually, to anyone considering eating uncooked weed (think salad) it's a bad idea. You'll get sick. Animals can die from it, just in general not a good idea. You really do need to cook hemp to break down the silicate structures for it to be safe to eat!
