18. you CANNOT get high from eating raw cannabis!

The Alpha-THC hasn't yet been converted into good old delta-9, which takes time and gentle heat. In addition, you usually need to extract the cannabinoids into a lipid (oil, fat, alcohol) in order to get high while consuming it. This is the same reason you can't brew marijuana "tea" with hot water -- you will just waste your bud.

I've written cannabis cookbooks & extraction instructional manuals for the Colorado industry -- there is a lot of misunderstanding around edibles, how they work, and how your body processes the cannabis. It seems the lying killers in Texas have been tripped u trying to use reefer madness as an excuse for murder.
