hey sorry to bring this back but i was bored last night.... soo....
I had smoked 2 little dug-out packs, and i was not high, and like 30ish minutes later I snorted like 2 lines of kief (straight kief outta the bottom of my grinder) like double matchstick width and a little longer than a match stick.
and 1) i sneezed like a motherfucker, and blew my nose alot like 10 minutes later; and 2)i think i got a really weird high.
in the first 30 minutes a regular weed high creeped up on me and i was stoned! it was just like eating brownies or something, but i came up faster. but it only lasted like 40 minutes MAX. after the weed high went away i had like a mushroom/psychedelic body-load type high (not something i really like myself). really weird, like trippy. and i had trouble falling asleep, not like i normally would smoking weed.I'd be really surprised if it was a placebo effect cause it was a pretty substantial body high and feeling.
There is so many different chemicals in a plant like marijuana (check this unreliable but interesting source:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/i....BRAuF3ty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090217140701AAC9eoG )
So perhaps, there is just different chemicals that are more readily absorbed nasally, I mean I understand that THC is the 'big one' but you can't tell me that it is the only active chemical in the plant. Herbal snuffs have been used forever, just like the dmt snuffs of south america (

I'm just saying it's worked for me and is pretty fuckin weird, after the inital "stoned" wore off i couldn't have guessed what i was going to feel, so i don't know how much of it even could have been a placebo effect.
p.s.
actually that yahoo answers source looks legit, the answer itself has sourcing back to medical journals and reports.
