Weird idea about marijuana?

Question

If you took Sinless Sweet Cream ice cream from Cold Stone creamery home and then mixes marijuana into it, will it make it more or less potent? How much less potent if less? Still worth doing for a party or something?

Also how would you go about preparing this?

sorry this is like a quillion questions instead of one lol

Answer 1

Just a little clarification...

There are a couple of very good answers but marijuana does NOT have to be heated to be "activated". It's a myth that everyone on the mj forums (and a few other stoner and psychonaut hangouts) runs around spouting like it's the law. THC is lipid-soluble, so it just has to be exposed to liquid fat (or removed from the leaf entirely, consider making honey oil if you're up for a fun experiment). However, heat has been shown to degrade THC into the less psychoactive substances CBN & CBD, in studies done at the University of Mississippi. This suggests that heating Marijuana before eating it does not increase the potency, but decreases it.

BUT there are couple different theories about why for some people heating it does make the THC seem stronger. The first is just different body chemistries and different fat percentages in the body. My favorite is that since humans are not herbivores and digest cooked organic matter better than raw organic matter (especially since "raw" pot is going to be relatively dry, sticky if you're lucky) so with cooked marijuana you'll be digesting more of it, faster, leading to a better high. The last is that heat converts THCA into THC and converts carboxylic form into the phenolic form. However, this can also happen over time.

So it's up to you to decide, I'm just putting the information out there.

To go about preparing that, I'd say skip right out on the mixing into the ice cream part and get some hot fudge sauce. Cook your bud in some unsalted butter at a low temperature, mix it in with the fudge sauce, then enjoy. Or just eat the fudge sauce.

Have fun!

Answer 2

if you just put the weed in the ice cream it wont do anything

itll be like eating grass.. you have to cook in something containing

oil so the thc can get absorbed into that. & then you eat it

and youre high about a half hour later :P

try making fire crackers. just get two-four crackers, spread peanut butter on each one, sprinkle some weed on top of each one then

get two-four more crackers & spread some peanut butter on those

also then make little cracker sandwhiches, wrap them in tin foil nice

and tight and put them in the oven on 400 for 25-30 minutes

good luck :D

Answer 3

whatever pothead

Answer 4

Ingesting cannabis has a different effect on the body to simply smoking it. Eating marijuana, if done properly, is safe and effective. The main difference between eating and smoking is in reaction time. While smoking cannabis provides almost immediate relief, ingesting can take 45-90 minutes for effect, depending upon body chemistry and whether consumed on an empty or full stomach.

Because of these factors, the ingesting method requires more experimentation as far as dosage, but less is DEFINITELY more. When you do feel the effects, they may be stronger than those felt by smoking. So don't eat it all at once, have a quarter of the mix then give yourself time to assess the effects. This is best done at home and in a relaxed manner. But don't worry, you can't die from cannabis, just be careful you don't get ill.

Answer 5

You gotta heat up the weed man. it gets the thc goin when you heat it up

Answer 6

chill out everyone, marijuana is used as an alternative med. ever heard of medicinal marijuana? i dont use it, but its not the worst thing a person can do. stop believing the hype! its not like hes asking to blend heroin into a milkshake.

i would say use a coffee grinder, get it really fine, like a gram or so and mix it in. i wouldnt think it would do anything to the potency. anything that leaks out of the weed goes into the ice cream. just make sure you l**k the bowl!!

what do you have to lose?

Answer 7

What is really weird is why would you want to ask such a question in a column about Alternative Medicine?

Answer 8

if you want to eat marijuana you have to heat it first to activate the thc.  also you have to cook it with fat so it gets absorbed with the fat.  so if you just mix marijuana with ice cream and eat it you wont get high.  

Answer 9

It won't work. You can't put weed in ice cream and it be potent. Weed has to heat up to bring the thc out. That's what gets you high. Try making weed butter or weed cooking oil and using that. It works! You can google how to make that stuff.
