CBD has offsetting properties to the psychoactive effect and some people take some if they've taken a few too many hits of the THC molecule to help reduce the impact. The CBD molecule partially occupies the THC receptor blocking the THC molecule from fitting properly, is how I understand it.
Would it work to put the leaves and/or flowers in a food processor with some olive oil and really get them blended together? Creating a concentrated paste that you could store in the fridge and then add to salads maybe?
I have read that smelling black pepper and chewing on a peppercorn will do something similar in a pinch. More folks have pepper than a straight CBD variety on hand!
I think that would work great. You could even freeze ice cube trays full of the paste and pull out individual cubes as needed. I have more of a need than I have available material so it doesn't last very long for me. I have pretty small plants if you'll recall, and I eat a salad 5 days a week.
No?
It weakens the bond of THC at the receptor sites on the CD1 and CD2 receptors. I think all chemistry is physics really. Whether the bond is chemical or mechanical it is safe to say CBD ‘knocks THC off’ the receptors.
And yes, CBD cigarettes (cannagarettes? Anybody?) are smoked as first aid for overdoing it with the THC. It helps @Sugarleaf immensely. Also good first aid for this is massive (10-15000mg) doses of a good vitamin C. This helps your liver to metabolise the THC and get some clearance going on your blood stream.
Interestingly, CBD knocking THC off of the CD1and2 receptors isn’t where the story ends for the THC. CBD also inhibits the liver enzyme that breaks THC down. This means that while THC may have a weaker bond with these receptors (which are all over the body by the way, in every organ) it stays in circulation in the body for longer, allowing it to do more, theoretically, than it might have.
Ah, that's some good Intel, right there!
A word of caution though for anyone that's going to try this: You want to keep the plant material submerged to avoid mold. Anything in the bottle should be fine since you can swish the contents around and most everything will slide back down.
Noted!

Yup! Happens each time with me. I always have those intentions, and would like to try a "#Nolarf" grow, but I get scissor shy on snipping too much at once. Then I end up withI can sure relate to that

Nice glass there DD, looks interesting altho I know nothing of rebubblers and dabbing. Glad the garden meds are high quality and you're doing a good job at keeping them replenished.Got glass! I cleaned it to show you guys. You can see it didn’t stay that way long. I feel like I live on the edge of nowhere. The folks in the shop have never sold a dab rig before even though they stock a few parts. I’m starting to get the hang of it. Tons of room for practice yet.
Yes some glass looks spectacular, but for those, I wonder how straight forward they are when cleaning time comes, not everyone has a bucket of fresh Iso to soak them in. I guess iso and pipe cleaners. I like the thought that's gone into the bubble tech.
