Hey guys and girls, I am currently trying to taper down my intake of cannabis which I consume via bong rips on a daily basis. I mix my herb with tobacco, and to some extent I think I am more addicted to the tobacco than the cannabis...which I use mainly for it's great taste (strait tobacco tastes pretty gross). Anyways, up here in BC it is hard to find weed that isn't ultra potent and dank...and I actually find that most of the stuff is just way too strong, and debilitates me.
I want to effectively remove all/most of the psychoactive compounds in my weed without degrading the flavor. Most of you would say "well why don't you just buy some low grade weed?"...but its surprisingly hard to find, and usually tastes pretty shit (thats why I want to make low grade "dank", if you will)
I imagine that just soaking the weed in ethanol or some kind of solvent would remove most of the psychoactive compounds, but probably also remove many of the aromatic compounds as well. Also, this would require me grinding the bud...although I suppose it's going to get ground anyways, but then it would also loose it's aroma faster.
Anyone have suggestions for decreasing the potency of the weed without using chemicals, and without causing a deterioration of the aroma? I still want to get a minor high maybe...but something thats really low strength (maybe 1-2 % THC/CBD...like the old school weed that our parents supposedly smoked).
Important thing here is that I enjoy the taste of dank weed...but I don't really enjoy the high. This would allow me to keep smoking dank weed without getting high...helping me taper down, and eventually quit all forms of smoking. But right now it's really just the ritual and headrush from the tobacco that I am addicted too...but I can't smoke strait tobacco in the bong without a little weed to mask the taste.
