Effects of ingesting THC Cannabis Oil versus Inhaling THC from Cannabis


Recommended Posts

In case no one has mentioned this yet: We have vastly more cannabinoid receptors in our stomachs than our lungs. Thus, you know that it would be untrue; You know that I would be a liar; If I were to say to you, edibles don't get you higher.

I think ingesting THC cannabis oil and inhaling THC have pretty different effects because of how they enter your body. When you ingest oil, the THC is processed by your liver, which changes it into a more potent compound. That’s why edibles or oils can feel more intense and last longer—sometimes up to 8 hours! But it also takes a while to kick in, like 30 minutes to 2 hours, so you’ve got to be patient and not overdo it.


Inhaling, like through vaping or smoking, hits much faster—usually within minutes—because it goes straight to your bloodstream through your lungs.


If you’re curious, Toronto Cannabis Shop has a good selection of oils and other products.

Just a few comments, based on experiences from former times when I used to partake.

 

Instead of having to rely on the quality and content of commercially supplied oil, why not make your own?

  • Remove stalks and chop up a bud/buds in a mortise & pestle.
  • Add some extra virgin olive oil and grind to a paste.
  • Add oil as desired.
  • Place in a light proof container and keep refrigerated.
  • For best results eat a portion on an empty stomach.
  • THC degrades with heat and light (store & carry accordingly).

 

With commercial oils, who knows what type and quality of oil has been used? 

What else has been added?

Do you want to be consuming it?

What is the quality of cannabis used? Much better to hand select your buds.

Cannabis, as an oil, will deteriorate through poor storage and handling.

 

Adding any food to your edible oil or paste will delay absorption.

 

Regarding your experience of a relaxed onset, I'd comment that an increased heart rate may be occurring regardless of any feelings of anxiety or relaxation.

You may not be anxious, nor have increased body heat, to have an elevated heart rate.

A surgeon had indicated that long term use of cannabis stresses the heart, causes blood platelets to stick together, alters heart rhythm, and elevates heart rate.

Smoking it also elevates CO1 levels in the blood stream.

 

 

 

I miss the combustion of the cannabis. Cannabis contains THCA and combustion is needed to convert this into THC., so without heating you wont feel a thing.

 

I put my buds first in the air fryer at  around 100 Celsius (not Fahrenheit), 3 times for 30-40 minutes.
Don't use higher temperatures, it will damage the fragile THC.


Then add oil to it (olive or coconut are best) and again 3 times in air fryer,

Then, let it rest for 3 to 4 weeks and when you take a tea spoon of your potion, the effect are WOW!

Long-term, heavy THC use can have several potential side effects, affecting both mental and physical health. It's important to note that research is ongoing, and the extent and permanence of some of these effects are still being studied.  

Here's a breakdown of the potential long-term side effects of THC use:

Cognitive Effects:

    Impaired Memory and Learning: Chronic heavy use, especially when started in adolescence, may lead to difficulties with memory, learning, and attention. Some studies suggest these effects may persist even after stopping use, particularly if use began during brain development (before age 25).   

Lowered IQ: Some research has linked heavy cannabis use starting in adolescence with a decline in IQ. However, other studies have not found this connection, and it's a subject of ongoing debate.  
Impaired Thinking and Decision-Making: Long-term use can affect the ability to think clearly, make sound judgments, and solve problems.  
Reduced Concentration and Attention Span: Chronic users may experience difficulties focusing and maintaining attention.  

Mental Health Effects:

    Increased Risk of Mental Health Disorders: Long-term, heavy use is associated with an increased risk of developing or worsening certain mental health conditions, including:
        Psychosis and Schizophrenia: Cannabis use, particularly high-potency products and use starting at a young age, can increase the risk of psychotic episodes and may contribute to the development of schizophrenia in vulnerable individuals (those with a genetic predisposition). It can also worsen symptoms in those already diagnosed.   

Anxiety and Depression: Some studies have linked chronic cannabis use with an increased risk of anxiety and depression.  
Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors: An association has been found between cannabis use and suicidal ideation, particularly among adolescents and military veterans.
