This Is Your Brain On THC

Better known as THC, tetrahydrocannabinol is the most famous of the marijuana's active ingredients, though hardly the only compound in cannabis that gets you stoned. A complex interplay of over seventy known cannaboids accounts for the plant's highly unique effect on the brain.

It's Science

Of the seventy known herbal cannabinoids, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN) are the most prevalent, and their medical properties have received the most study.

Thank you High Times.

Butter Up

Yes, you can simply eat buds straight off the stem until you get high, but it will take a lot of chewing and cost a ton of money, because when you eat "raw" marijuana, your stomach can only absorb a small portion of the THC and other cannabinoids in the plant. You need to give those molecules something to bind onto, which means the most efficient way to ingesting cannabis resins involves slowly simmering, the buds and leaves in something with a high fat content, like butter, cream, or oil.

Thank you High Times.
