I know that putting a stem in your lip while high will boost your high. How efficient is sublingual absorbtion compared to smoking bud? anyone know the numbers (or a guess)?
as in it as half as effective or a number showing the relationship (in example, eating weed takes 2-3 times as much)
umm..i dont think that works at all, or very little as THC isnt water soluble, the only way it would work under your lip is it it was cut like chew where u have a means of getting the THC into your blood
also: I know that synthetic cannabinoids are subliguelly active, so I would assume natural ones are as well
Sublingual...mmm interesting. Lets compare it to salvia. Salvia isnt water soluble, but it can be absorbed sublingualy.
Cannabis dosent have to be heated up before ingestion. Sensei, I think your onto something here, in fact im tempted to give it a try.
I've only done this with stem and it works well. if my buy goes through tomarrow I will do it with as much as I would normally smoke and compare the high. I didn't know that this was so rare.
I might give this a try tomorow as well, or sunday. I suspect you will need to chew twice as much as you would smoke, just like with salvia. I would use the same ammount you would use with cooking cannabis.
Wait so putting a stem under your lip while you're high will get you higher? Hmmm... To be honest this seems impossible.
why? 1. cannabinoids can be absorbed sublingually (through mucus membranes) 2. If you absorb cannabinoids you get high. 3. weed has cannabinoids. so what seems impossible?
mucous membranes in the lungs, mouth, nasal cavities, rectum, and so on have all been shown to be effective sites for the absorbtion of drugs, but some are more effective for some drugs than others, and sometimes not at all effective. i've tried chewing/sucking on stems and never found it to boost my high at all, but thats just me and i long ago gave up on trying. but then again, stems have so little magic in them to begin with that it can't qualify as legitimate reason to disqualify marijuana from being active sublingually. i will say i've never heard of it being done successfully and that i am very skeptical...there is literally no information i know of suggesting this will work.... but i try to keep an open mind and will certainly try to maintain an open attitude to the possibility that this could have some merit, as much as i doubt it and wouldnt try it with my weed. most likely it is not active. if it IS active i'd be willing to wager it would take a LONG time to absorb it sublingually, that it would take a sizable dosage, and that effects would be less significant but possibly longer lasting than normal oral consumption....that is, IF it is active at all. while i'm somewhat defensive when it comes to the "just smoke it" chant often used to combat discussion of eating marijuana, i'm tempted to join in when it comes to administering it sublingually. i'm just very skeptical and would not try it with pot i paid for, and would have trouble trying it with pot someone gave me, too.... but i am not completely closed to the idea that it COULD possibly work, and if it does i'd be interested to know about it....so if anyone wants to start experimenting, let us know what you find out. me, i'll take a hit from the bong. excuse me.
It most likely would work but stems don't contain that much THC, so you would need quite a lot of them (only guessing). It's sounds to me like it would be worth it instead of just throwing my stems away but iono it will probably just become a rainy day project.
^ same. in my experiences, weed has to be heated to become active. ive tried eating a lot of raw pot, and ive tried chewing stems, and letting them absorb in my mouth, none of that shit worked at all. i thinks its a little more than coicindence that every single time i have used weed with heat being administered to it, it has worked.... and every time heat hasnt been involved, it hasnt...
raw pot is just fine. i suppose if you didnt get high sublingually you could always swallow it. i dont know how people fail to get high from raw cannabis. they're doing SOMETHING wrong because i did it before i got on a plane recently and it fucking ROCKED me.....i was just about nodding off trying to order my gin on the plane....
