How different is eating to smoking?

A lot of edibles will give you a body high but what it really comes down to is if the weed was Sativa or Indica.

Indica is the body high and Sativa is the head high. I've had some pretty bomb Sativa edibles that gave me a really nice head high and a lot of energy.

Also when you smoke weed you're wasting a small amount when it burns whereas eating it your body absorbs 100% of it.

Your body may absorb 100% of the weed, but it won't get all the cannabinoids into your blood stream - smoking is more efficient than eating, eating just least longer.

I've never eaten sativa specific munchies, but I find eating cannabis treats generally gives a much heavier high, it last hours - and is generally not as energetic as smoking ganja.

It's also a lot easier to overdose when ingesting cannabis like this, as you aren't hit immediately, so often you can eat too much because you don't have anything to gauge it against.

I do love eating cannabis, but not often - you lose the taste, the aroma, the instant hit...but it's still great once in a while!

Best way I've ever done is to get a spoonful of milk or oil, and crush up some hashish into the oil, heating til it bubbles and you see the infusion get darker, as the THC is turned liquid in the oil/milk.

THen mix this spoonful into a yoghurt!

QUick, easy, and hits you pretty quick, in comparison to a bunch of brownies.

Also - 3 threads on the same subject? How much weed did you smoke?!?!?
 
Hello everyone,

I'd appreciate it a lot if someone can answer this question for me.

When you eat hash cookies does it travel throughout the body and the brain just as smoking marijuana does?

Smoking or vaporizing herb makes it pass through your lungs and respiratory system first and you get higher faster.

When you eat herb in a dessert or firecrackers (peanut butter on crackers) the herb goes into your stomach and has to be digested and then you get higher slower and the high lasts for a lot longer than if you smoked the same amount but the high is way more intense.

I've smoked herb even pure Indicas and got very nice body buzzes from those but it was not like eating herb which basically made me feel as though lots of energy and electricity was running through my body while I was high and I did stay high for a lot longer than if I'd smoked a few grams of bud.

Rude Rabbit you should try making some Firecrackers or brownies with some mids or schwag and eat those and see what the high is like compared to smoking herb. You do get a lot more high and stay high for more time by eating herb instead of smoking it. Don't drive on them and I know that for many people when they smoke they can easily pass as sober but it's not always this way with eating herb.

me and my bestfriend split a cookie..half for me..half for her..it was our first time getting high lol..it tasted gross to me but she liked it ha..so it took like an hr or sp for it to completely hit me and a lil less for it to hit her
i felt completely numb all over and like paralyzed ha it was wierd..i did wanna bust out laughing a few times lol
she just sat there looking well stoned ha..she eventually threw up and just felt like shiiiit..i felt bad..but yea now she doesnt wanna try it ever again lol
ive smoked a couple times..i hate the taste lol but i was rele drunk both times so idk if i even felt the high ha
but yea even though im incredibly inexperienced lol i'd say edibles are def. wayy more potent than smoking..like it was a small cookie lol and that shit hit me hardddd ha
 
Like someone else said, eating weed is a mild trip. You get WAY baked and your eyes get red as hell. The high also lasts longer and has a much slower onset. I prefer smoking, probably because it's much more convenient. And the effects are more controllable. I've also noticed that when I ingest weed, it takes less to get high than it would if I were smoking.
 
I once came into some Dronabinol (THC) gel tablets. Never got to try any, ended up giving them to friends. Has anyone had Dronabinol who also is experienced enough with cannabis cookery to compare the highs? I know from what I've been told that Dronabinol is more intense than smoking/vaporizing-inhalation. Though Dronabinol is just the THC molecule and the plant is inclusive to hundreds of inactive & arguably peripherally active (when with or without conjunction to THC in the body), alkaloids.

Potentially I'm thinking (if any of the other cannabinoid alkaloids that aren't THC are prodrugs to THC or otherwise peripherally active) eating the plant may be a completely different high, as someone wrote earlier perhaps without this even in mind; all the other alkaloids would be ingested in the stomach at the same time and not require the same evaporation point when smoked/vaporized that may be losing out as the smoker of the whole cannabis plant preparation; alternating 'hits/tokes' may yield different peripherally active cannabinoid pseudo-THC alkaloids yielding a different coloration of effects at a different spectrum range of onsets and synergies for each. Whereas eating a brownie would have these all hit relatively in one deft timing, and leave a THC/cannabinol (proper)/Dronabinol tablet or otherwise (powder?) ingestion seeming different by comparison with how the whole plant preparation and its hundreds of alkaloids adjunct to one another while in first pass metabolism of eating.
 
Well tolerance for me with eating is ridiculous, I eat one cookie one day and i'm taken over by it completely, just so high from it at a meager dose. Later in the week I eat 6 cookies of a similar batch and i'm not quite as high. Still the same kind of high with muscle relaxation, strongly visualizing my environment but being rather thoughtless, brain zaps, blurred vision, tracers. But without the overwhelming anxiety of the first single cookie experience.

I proceeded to eat 4+ cookies from this batch other times while others would stop a 1/2 or 1 full one.

Smoking weed is my preferred method because it entirely grabs essence of the taste of the plant, crappy weed is meant to be baked IMO good weed is to be smoked (contriversely also I say great weed should never be vaporized either).

So tunel fission, would you say that the muscle reaction is felt when you eat cannabis just as well as if you smoke it? Does digested cannabis "go to your head" as effectively as smoked cannabis you'd say?
 
Can anyone confirm if muscle relaxation is also felt when marijuana (cooked or baked) is eaten just as it is when smoked? Does it also go to your head when eaten?
 
Rabbit, why not just try eating herb cooked in food and seeing what it's like for you?

I agree that you should cook with schwag or mids, but I don't agree about how you should not vaporize good herb.

IME yes there's a major body high from eating herb but I've smoked Indicas that also did that to me.

There is much more body high (including muscle relaxation) for me from eating it. 1gram in a firecracker is my preferred method of using weed nowadays, it's just a much deeper and happier high than smoking it for me.
