Hi all you pot-heads,

I'm wondering what the effect of available fat/lipids in my system will have on a cannibis high. I believe the active alkaloids in pot is fat soluble. So does it follow that if I down some saturated fat/oil ( say like coconut oil for eg.) and smoke some pot, that it could intensify the high or change the effects/duration or whatever?

thanks for the input
 
bearing in mind the smoke will go into your lungs, the oil into your stomach.

And besides if this worked you'd have heard about it.
 
I doubt it. Possibly a small effect if you only ate saturated fat for a while before using cannabis, but that is not healthy.
 
OP: You want the THC to go to your brain, not your stomach or your fat cells
 
I think there's some merit to the question, I just don't know a lot myself. I'm also curious because Opana (oxymorphone) increases in bioavailability when one has eaten a high fat meal ( http://www.endo.com/PDF/OPANA_ER_PI.pdf page 5) and people on forums claim that this increase is seen even when sniffed (of course, that same script sheet I linked has graphs showing how strong placebo can be).

I don't know how it works, but can fat exist in the bloodstream? If so, a higher lipid content will exist in the capillaries in the lungs and nose and could increase the amount of THC absorbed by either. I just don't know if that's how it works, or if fat is turned to sugar before it gets there or what.
