Juicing the cannabis plant along with other vegetables or fruit will assist in extracting the juice as well as disguising its strong flavour.
There's a youtube video where the guy demonstrates that he gets "high" after juicing a mixture of cannabis and citrus with a few other vegetables. Unfortunately, the video is painfully longwinded, but if you wish to see for yourself it's just after the 30 minute mark where he discovers he is unexpectedly affected by the juice.

So it seems those who enjoy juicing the fresh plant should be aware of an unexpected outcome when juicing with citrus, so you can either plan for it, or plan to avoid it.![Blush Smile :blushsmile: :blushsmile:](/community/styles/420style/smilies/1.gif)

youtube member w3bst3r123: said:I did some research and it seems that the oranges you used (probably seville oranges?) contain furanocoumarins which deactivates an enzyme in the small intestine and liver that breaks down toxins. This is from npr: "When the enzyme (called 3A4 for short) isn't working right, the drugs hang around longer and circulate at higher levels in the blood than would otherwise be the case. If the levels are high enough, a person essentially overdoses." More Drugs Cited As A Risky Mix With Grapefruit : Shots - Health News : NPR
youtube member マックスシュッツェ : said:furocoumarins - why grapefruit is contraindicated when taking so very many medications. Many tangerine hybrids have some history of cross-pollination- intentional and accidental, with grapefruits. In fact accidental crosses may be how many tangerines we know came about.
youtube member Adam Bhame: said:He's right, the THC-A is decarboxylated by the citric acid. The coconut fats probably do help with the uptake of the thc, but the reason it was psychoactive is the citric acid digests the extra group of atoms on the thca, thus rendering it thc and available to be utilized by the thc receptors in our brain. The decarboxylation process can apparently happen naturally over a long period of time, so if you eat really old weed you may get high, but of course the average person chooses to accelerate this with heat. [...]
I just saw that he drank kombucha as well. I've heard there are certain enzymes that can facilitate the decarb process, and the b vitamins in kombucha as well. No wonder they got high
