Had a conversation with someone whose opinion I generally respect – they told me that, without the addition of heat, THC isn’t psychoactive, and so cold pressed products and eating/spraying are less likely to produce psychiatric problems if people are using Cannabis for medical, rather than recreational, use.
Anyone have any experience or links on this? Actual medical trial comparisons would be most appreciated but I’ve only just heard about this and would value any info people have.
Incidentally, “cold press” means the substance isn’t subjected to heating or fire beyond boiling point of water (100 degrees Centigrade or Celcius). Which obviously cuts out smoking weed.
THC can be bound to fat in a yoghurt and thus absorbed so not sure heat is required to make it psychoactive.
Hmmm…. “bhang lassi” yoghurt based cannabis drink widely consumed by Hindus on certain Festival dates? Is that what you are talking about?
Because, if I remember rightly, that would be made from Melana / Charus type hash, hand rolled, but pressed without heat?
This chap can afford the electric light, and to keep a decent moustache, so it is a good trade to be in 😉
That’s good, I found a recipe here BUT…
I guess that’s pretty good evidence that keeping temperatures below 100 degrees Centigrade does not eliminate psychoactive effects. Theoreticaly I such treatment might affect the results but they don’t appar to remove that effect.
Interesting topic here on the same site which may have the same end result, a strain of Cannabis with very low THC but boosted CBDs? 😉
No, THC is a psychoactive molecule regardless of it’s temperature.
