Stay with me on this one

THC is absorbed through the lungs and is attached to blood cells right? And then some go to the brain and then intoxicate you. But what about all the other THC saturated blood that doesnt go to your brain? Me thinks a lot of bud is being wasted.

your brain sucks up the thc from the blood untill it cannot hold any more, the rest floats around in your blood system and starts to break down, as the thc in your brain is metabolized and destroyed your brain sucks more up from the blood, this continues untill the thc levels in your blood no longer have enough thc to fill your brain

...that's why those that choose to ingest rather than smoke, claim a more intense, prolonged high!

MamaBudz?

<< Maybe the rest of it is running around in your body killing cancer cells! >>

That would be nice!

Nah Im sure they just party all night long in the small intestine, now thats the hot place to be these days.

Straying from my point, sure some THC enriched blood is going to your brain, but I bet you a lot of it is getting wasted.

It doesn't get wasted! You do!!!

The THC that does not go to your brain straight away is stored in the fat cells of your body! That's why when stoners (read: us) work out (or just run around like crazy - in a paranoid stoner sort of way) they (read: we) get high without smoking.

[coz when you work out you burn fat and therefore release the locked up THC into the bloodstream and then it (the THC) finds its way to the brain, and KABAM!!!!]

As for ingesting MJ, hehe the first time you eat MJ, it will almost definitely make you pass out!!! Because you'll prolly end up eating too much (nothing wrong with eating too much, though) But over a few attemps you can quickly figure out your dose.

The ingestion high is definitely stronger, and less harmful than smoking!

happy x-mas y'all!

I disagree.

The ingestion high certainly lasts longer, I won't argue that. But stronger?

I don't think I could _EVER_ get as high as a peak as when taking HUGE hits, then if I ingested a large amount. This is simply because your GI tract cannot process as fast as the lungs, so it's literally impossible to get the same peak that smoking a lot gives.

Ah, I forgot about it attaching to fat and assumed it attached to blood cells. But how does it get to the fat cells and from there to the brain?

Mamabudz

It's so good to feel needed...

First, remember that thC is just one of many (about 400) chemicals in our favorite little herb... and it's all those chemicals combined in their various levels that give us that delightful sensation knowns as a high!

As for thC ... it is absorbed in the blood plasma through the lungs when smoking (hey, that plasma is basically salt water so the folks who insist that thC is not absorbed by h2o must be scratching their heads) and carried off to the entire body. Of course there is a level of saturation and since the blood flows throughout the body thC is absorbed throughout the body where it either acts or sits around as a waste product to be re-uptaked by the same blood stream. In places like the brain where it has an activation site, thC is used and anadimide (that's a fancy word for the naturally found cannabinoid type chemicals found in the body) recptor sites get excited ...and thC is broken into thC metabolites...basically thC is metabolized (a fancy way of saying digested or burned up or basically used) and the thC metabolites or wastes are then stored away to be excreted through the urine...carried there again by our blood system ...which again is basically plasma. Metabolites like thC especilly like s to get locked up in lipids becasue of the molecular make up of lipids...real comfy couch shapes for those thC and thc metabolite chemicals...so they tend to hang out there...hey it's stoner stuff, what did you expect?

mmm...did I get close to ansering the question?

By the way the high you feel when running, or exercsing? Yeah a small amoutn of stored thC but really it's an oxygen high...good deep breathing and fresh air is really the culprit...but don't tell the government, they may make breathing illegal!

...better all have a cookie instead !
