Ok, so lets say you have a bag of dank weed, but it's crumbly and there are some good buds floating in a river of shake. Will you get more high from smoking the nugs?
Thats like asking if you open a bag of doritios, will the crumbs on the bottom be as good or better than the actual dorito.
I would argue, that you could potentially get higher from the same shake vs nug. The reason being is trichomes falling off the nugs and settling in the shake. A QP of nugs can leave some awesome shake. Cool Ranch Doritos. Ranch flavoring can be more intense in a handful of crumbs versus equal sized chip. In the crumbs your flavor crystal to chip ratio increases
hahah This is so funny.. But yes off a Nug, If your grinding the nug into shake then its the same... Only difference would be that if the weed was from a larger source, where the untrinned leaf ratio would be higher.. they tend to crumble alot faster as they dry more quickly. thus making shake that is more leaf than trics..
hm. but using the dorito example, i like the crunch factor in biting into a big, normal sized chip as opposed to digging at the bottom of the back for the little crumbs. i dunno how this would work into bud though. shake from the same bag is much more convenient.
There was times I crushed bags of chips to speed up the consuming process... I still do it.. Dorito dust goes good on tacos and pizza, even spaghetti.. Its way better than regular grated cheeze ..if you dont have any, but you have Doritos..
I don't know about your situation, but generally i would say the shake would get you higher. First of all, a full bowl of shake has more weed in it than a full bowl of broken up nug. Because the pieces of nug are larger then the shake pieces, the nug pieces will leave more empty space in the bowl then the shake will. But even if they were equal weight bowls the shake would still be better for two reasons. The first reason is because many of the crystals from the nugs may have fallen down into the shake. Secondly because the shake has more exposed surface area, causing it to dry out faster. Generally the more dry the weed the more THCA is converted to THC. I also personally like it better because it burns very well and i able to take bigger hits from it. I think that larger hits get me higher. On the negative side though I think produces a much harsher hit. And depending on how your nugs were manicured your shake might end up being more leaves then bud.
thats a good observation, but too.. I cant say Id agree or disagree.. I see more Air coming through with nug smoke and space, air is what makes you cough.. The shake being much smoother cause it burns evenly.. But you cough anyways.. Oh this is a paradox thread..:cheers2:
i think maybe if the bud is well trimmed then shake will be better due to previously mentioned reasons, however if it was lazily done/leaves left on for weight then shake will be worse due to a larger proportion of leaf material in the shake?
