Man, they have been brewing tea out of herbs for a long time in Texas and the entire southwest for upset stomachs. Of course it isnt going to get you way stoned. But that is why lots of older folks drink the tea around here. When they were kids they didnt even know it was pot--it was a think the folks grew in the garden for nausia and upset stomachs. Brew some tea, drink it, and you can hold down some food. Most of the folks that I know that drink tea grow the shit themselves so they dont even worry about quantity--how much they are using I wouldn't know. I also couldnt tell you if sharing a pot of tea ever elevated me, since I have always been pretty lifted before I have been in a situation to drink it. LOL The point I was originally getting at with the tea reference was just showing that there are a hell of a lot of ways of ingesting it. Most importantly, I can tell you eating buds straight out of the baggy will, indeed, effect you. That I can tell you without a doubt. I have been in a car, gotten pulled over, and been the dude that had to eat the sack. It is a slow start, but it works. I wouldnt suggest doing it under any other circumstance tho.
I stand corrected. You are absolutely correct...I have had a situation(s) where I ate a joint once or twice out of necessity, and later most definitely felt something. If one were to put on a pot of water and boil it, even though the oils of THC and water aren't supposed to technically mix - what I've read, anyway, - you are right. I get that water, sipped, Would help. There is nothing in this world like eating some magic brownies. If I had the amount, that is what I'd always do...well, do a lot anyway. Other times I just need to pull in that smoke, and feel it go out. Know what I mean? 10 months ago today I quit smoking cigarettes.
