It's a myth that bioavailability is higher in a fatty oil.

Liposolubility is not a factor in digestive ingestion. Otherwise LSD and Psylocibin would require being in solution for digestive ingestion.

The issue is one of concentration with Tetrahydrocannabinol. Concentrating the active ingredients into a quarter cup of butter then distributing that amongst a tray of brownies gives you a high concentration of the active ingredient without the high fiber vegetative matter that is present in the bud.

The fiber of the bud can be a factor in digestion and is less readily digestible, which is why directly eating only that vegetative material with high concentrations of THC is much more effective. Eating hashish is a far more efficient way to obtain the chemical and is nearly identical to chemical extraction through liposolubility or by using some other organic compound for the pruposes of extraction and concentration.

Some entertain the idea it may have been Lima beans.... Brother Buzz May 2014 #9

I bow to your wisdom Brother Buzz Egnever May 2014 #19

technically, it's "brussels sprouts". but perhaps in biblical times there was only one brussel. unblock May 2014 #10

Maybe it was a road apple. geomon666 May 2014 #2

Poppies. TreasonousBastard May 2014 #3

they would have had to known how make a butter reduction to render the THC from the buds, dionysus May 2014 #4

You can eat the buds. MohRokTah May 2014 #5

really? i munched a few buds once and didnt notice anything. i thought you needed heat to render the dionysus May 2014 #8

Nope. THC does not require the heat. MohRokTah May 2014 #11

i ate about a 2 bowls worth of dank, i didn't notice much, but the rice crispy treats i tried. OMFG! dionysus May 2014 #13

The active chemicals in both the dank you ate and the rice crispy treats was identical. MohRokTah May 2014 #15

You are missing the point jberryhill May 2014 #37

No, precisely ZERO extraction from vegetative material has been done for you. MohRokTah May 2014 #40

It's not about heat jberryhill May 2014 #32
