THC must be heated?

[Fuse]

I remember someone saying weed had to be heated to activate the THC or you wouldnt get hight, which is why you have to cook it somehow rather than just eating the bud.

But then I remember people saying THC is only active for a limited time, as in one that can be measured in seconds, before it will no longer get you high.

So how can you get high off of baked weed like brownies? These facts lead me to believe cooking would activate the THC and it would wear off long before it was cooled enough to even eat.

I know thats not the case, so what am I missing here?

when you cook brownies or whatever with weed you dont just throw weed in it. You simmer oil or butter with the ground up pot in it. Tetrahydracannibinol is an alcohol (hence cannabinOL) and alcohols are fat soluable. When the thc is activated and heated out of the buds, it gets trapped in the oil or butter. So it stays active.

Ah, allright. Thaks for the science lesson.

how much weed do u need anyway for a batch of brownies for like 3 people

[canadianbud]

i think like a gram-1.5 per person does the trick in baking.

my friend made a batch of brownies with a quarter a few days ago. I tried one and didnt feel anything but my friends said they were fucked up. A quarter would definitely work if you and your friends didnt mind eating a whole thing of brownies to 3 people.

I made cookies once with my friend cyrus, after they were done we came to the horrifying realization that we each needed to eat like 10 big cookies.

your better off to make it very strong, like a half, and just eat one brownie at a time and save them, or even sell them.

or he can just reduce the number of brownies he's making, so 5 grams except only 3 brownies, so they'r just really potent.

so about a gram per person...on average...okay then ill remember that thanx
