well most people have had edibles that put them on their ass. some have had weak but psychedelic experiences and anything in between.....
heres my ramblings
For a compound to have "drug likeness" it must have a polar surface area (psa) under 60 angstroms in order to cross the blood brain barrier and reach receptors.. in the polar acid form(thca) has a psa of 66...
a psa under 60 is optimum and some will cross up to about 70. thca at 66 will cross in high doses..this would be a huge waste of product however..especially since it takes relatively high doses to get high, after decarbing it drops to 30..
cbda is more polar than thc with a psa of 77 and cbd about 40.
so if ingesting an undecarbed product the high is going to be much more in the head
when ingested, a large portion of delta 9 thc gets rotated to delata 11, having more cb1 activity relative to cb2...(leaving other pathways out of the equation)
edibles are naturally more psychedelic...however thc is much more sensitive than cbd
The good folks at ncbi
Have stated when decarbed at 500(your lighter) 50% or so makes it as intact thc when decarbed at 210 70% makes it..when decarbed at 170 something like 81% when decarbed without heat its in the high 80's...at that point light and air oxidation will play a factor and limit you, also decarbing will never give a 100% return as the cooh group is missing..i forget exactly, maybe 89%.. about the same as freebasing cocaine..
anyway
thca converts to active thc now a smaller molecule, the rest is degraded to delta 8 and to a lesser extent some cbn is formed...cbn starts to rapidly form just over 400°f

when heating for an extended time or at higher temps, you effectively reduce the 9-thc content. 8-thc is less potent and cbns affinity is 9 times less
oh shit gotta go....ill finish my ramblings later
