(50,531 posts)THC goes through four phases.
In the plant, the evil, soul destroying chemical exists as THC-COOH. This isn't psychoactive, so make yourself a nice pot salad and you won't feel a thing.
Heating it knocks that carboxylic acid group off, giving Oyou the THC that gets you where you want to go. This stays with you for no more than eight hours.
It metabolizes to 11-OH-THC, which makes you hungry.
This then metabolizes back to THC-COOH, which soaks into your fat cells.
My guess is they already have roadside sobriety tests for weed...gaze nystagmus, walking a line, then having the cop put his car keys on the hood, telling the suspect there's a box of Little Debbies in the trunk of the cop car and watching how gracefully the suspect gets into them.(It was originally Twinkies, but shit happens.) If the guy jerks his eyes around, stumbles, scratches the paint and eats the whole box, off to the emergency room!
