Microwaving bud

I thought I'd add some info I obtained a year or so ago.

I was reading that microwaving average midgrade bud (just the bud no crackers/PB/etc) and nuke a nug or so for 20 seconds that it will increase the potency. I don't remember the scientific answer as to why (damn my memory).

It worked for me, it makes the buds crispy and alters the taste slightly but damn it gave me a MUCH cleaner stone than if I had smoked the middies on their own, it felt more like dank :)

Sorry for getting off topic I was just wondering if anyone else heard of doing that method (putting a bud wrapped in foil and then putting it in the oven at 325 preheated for 4-5minutes worked best for me over the microwave method.)

trust me, i would be doing this, but i live with my parents still and that would make the house reek of weed...hence why i'm asking about the microwave (still might produce a smell but it'd be less of it and microwaving is quicker)

na, it makes your house reak of peanut butter and is way more effective than the milk method.




And I microwaved a nug out of curiousity once and it made it dry and hard and not smell nearly as good. Also smoking it gave me a headache. I guess if you got schwag that's still wet go for it, but if you have bud that's good before microwaving it why fuck with it?


And also, in order for your body to absorb THC orally it must be bound to fat, otherwise the majority would pass right through you un altered. Which is why eating bud doesn't get you high.

well hell...i was thinking the microwave method was a less effective method....seems more risky. (not to mention the drink was harder to drink than alcohol)

to serenity, dopeman, and burn....thanks for the assurance that it wont smell of weed! :D

I'll also add to that list, firecrackers don't make the house smell at all. Make them while your rents are out or at work and when they come they will have no idea. Good luck.

This kind of seems ridiculous to me but can anyone else vouge for this?
 
that's what i was thinking as well.....it's probably all psychological because instead of smoking wet bud he's smoking crispy weed which reminds him of dank.....also i find that crispier weed, even if regs, feels different going down so that might also be it.

a group of my friends are retarded and dont like to smoke bongs because they swear they get higher....drives me nuts
 
Doesn't make any chemical sense to me either, though I admit I don't go around microwaving my pot. If it did really work though surely you'd see growers with big industrial microwaves blaring after harvest.
 
THC does not bind to fat. It dissolves in it.

Has anyone tried microwaving firecrackers? How long does it take and how much does it smell?

hm, interesting....does your dad smoke cigarettes or does your family smoke at all in the house?

just saying because my mom smokes but not in the house and when my dads gone i can smoke in my room with her downstairs (blowing out the window of course) and she doesnt ever come up to my room and ask me if i'm smoking but yet i can smoke outside (without anyone knowing) and come back to my room and my dad (who doesn't smoke) will be all the way across the room and ask if i've been smoking and will say he can smell it.


if i do the firecracker method i might have to do it late at night when everyone's asleep

but what you said about no recipes telling you to take off the weed, it's probably because in order to get the most thc out of the bud is you need to chop it up (or grind it) and it would be a pain in the ass to go and pluck each and every piece of weed when you could just deal with the nastiness and eat it.

yes, my dad blows cigars all day no joke, i swear he has like a 6 inch cigar in his mouth all the time. he doesnt smoke inside though like you, i guess he is so used to smelling smoke he just never notices? but the firecracker didnt really give off a smell at all.. just burnt pb with a hint of something.
 
No one in my house smokes and both my parents are ferverently anti-drug. Ive cooked firecrackers plenty and smell has never been an issue.

The reason THC stays in your system so long is because it binds itself to your fat cells. It has to be extracted from the bud VIA heat. The heat causes the THC to activate (release from the bud) and bind to the fat cells, whether it's heated in a fat substance or combusted VIA a lighter and inhaled into your body. You can't just throw a bud into a glass of cold milk and expect it to work.

Elementary school chemical reaction. Heat + THC = Binds to Fat. It will not pass into the solution on it's own.

Assuming this is true, how does isopropanol-extracted hash work?
 
It's not true. At no point does THC bind to fat cells. You are thinking of the fact that THC is lipid soluble - that means it dissolves within lipids. Binding and dissolving are two very different concepts.
 
Microwaving bud DOES work. I'm living proof of that right now.

First you must decarboxylate the cannabinoids by placing the finely ground bud in a glass container and filling with ~2 inches of water. Microwave until the water boils off (should take around 3 minutes on high power). Then sandwich the decarboxylated bud in an organic peanut butter or Nutella covered cracker, and microwave for ~2 minutes on medium power.

You will get very high with three crackers.
