Crazy question

Ive been getting back in to snuffing since my new years resolution was to quit snussing/chewing. After a party recently, ive been haunted by an unusual notion. The idea came tO me while enjoying one of my other favorite plants :slight_smile: as im sure others have also wondered and i figured id ask the boys on snuffhouse about it. If you havent guessed it yet, let me come right out and ask: has anybody tried making a snuff out of weed? I dont see why you couldnt, but im curious as to the effects. Please share your info/thoughts/opinions on the subject. Happy new years, guys!

We will not be able to discuss this publicly on this forum! Sorry curious onlookers.

I can tell you this : It will only make your nose sticky. THC only comes free if burned or heated like in Tea, or of digested. You might like the smell, but I’m quit sure you won’t get high.

Furthermore the trichomes (the psychoactive sticky stuff on the surface of the buds etc) are too big to be absorbed through the nasal passage (when ground) If it were possible, it would have been done already. Having said that look up Sativex. It’s a pharma med made purely from cannabis and produced as an oral spray. The microscopic trichomes have been isolated so there is no plant material. Very hard to come by though and only on prescription.

@jbruckus, yes I’ve tried and…you can just as well sniff some old leather boots, same results! No, it does not work because there is no heat to set free the …whatever it is.

but you can vaporize it… or make butter?! out of it, as far as safer alternatives. Yeah, it’s a crazy question, but somebody had to ask.

thanks for all the info, it makes a lot of sense.

makes a better chocolate chip cookie.

I wonder if baking before grinding would work? Or just destroy the active ingredient? Try to determine the temp just before vaporizing occurs and stop there. Might be an interesting experiment. Potentially terribly wasteful though.

The Merck Index lists the boiling point of delta 1 Tetrahydrocannabinol as 200° C (392° F). 365° F appears optimal for vaporizing.

If someone hasn’t already patented the idea of some Cannabis scented / flavored Snuff… I might just have to see if I can! Cause we all love the smell, yes? Would be a WONDERFUL snuff… Something to enjoy every day, at any time…

What’s the point for nicotine?

I would never buy that snuff, I hate the smell of weed…and skunks…

@Brandasaur : Not all of it smells like skunks :wink: @hooked : Well, I thought that THC didn’t absorb through the muscus membrane in your nose? Still, if it were possible, would also make a cool snuff lol. But if not, still would be a nice smell… Maybe not the skunk smell though, for Brandasaur lol

I like the smell of hemp. That would smell better in snuff.

  • 1 on hemp in dugout cracks, Xander, lol! ^^5 ,Bru!

@Bart: Way to bring back a classic! I forgot how much that made me laugh. ^5 all the way, Bru!

Haha…that was one troll I enjoyed throwing a few kibbles to from time to time, Bru!

Im pretty sure that a member whom I will leave anonomous has had some luck with a toast type snuff of this variety.

Haha, very funny farmer. I am posting private messages to any interested.
