My First Time Growing

Got a question for you guys. Have any of you tried the Mango thing? I haven't tried it yet and was wondering if it really makes the weed stronger if you eat it before you smoke? I heard about it quite a while ago, but just wondered if anyone has tried it? Sounds more like something made up, but chemically I know it could be possible regardless of how low the chances are that it works. Oh well, just curious. If you feel like answering I'm curious to know if anyone has tried it.

Thanks
Smokey
 
That's interesting. I read something where if one has anxiety issues after smoking, that smelling (not snorting) freshly ground black pepper has some anti-anxiety effect.

You never know! Grapefruit interacts with certain meds, so why shouldn't mango? Like you said, it could be made up, but if it works, someone will know. I see a controlled experiment in your future... :thumb:

Yep, Unless I hear differently, I'm probably going to try it once I have more weed (just ran out of the monthly amount I get) since I like Mango's anyways. As far as the black pepper goes, Somebody around here has something in their signature about it. I can't remember who for sure, I'm thinking Shiggity, but don't really remember who's signature has it in it. Keep your eyes open on peoples signatures because someone has a link in their signature about black pepper relieving anxiety from smoking. I just searched and it is Shiggity that has it in his signature. Click this message number#2258 if your interested and it should take you to his last post and you can see the link about black pepper in his signature.

SweetSue has started Mango 1/2 hour before eating brownies this week - She is VERY happy with the results.

Myrcene in the mangoes appears to be the active ingredient but I am unaware of studies to understand HOW myrcene works. Myrcene is also in other foods and in some strains of cannabis.

Thanks Radogast, I had heard about it and just realized, this is the perfect place to see if anyone knows if it works or not. Sounds like she proved it works. As soon as I have some weed, I'm going to try it and see how it works for me. Seems like it should be interesting. :)

Theory is that it cleans the receptors... It's an old stoners trick too... Eat a mango before you smoke a doob and it most certainly will get you higher...:circle-of-love:

Thanks D., I appreciate the info. I'm gonna try it as soon as I have some to test it with. I had heard about it a while back and wrote it off as a myth, but if you guys say it works, I will definitely try it! :) I have to take the wife back out for a couple things and will try to remember to have her get a mango so when I have some weed I can test it!
 
Just got back and when I was looking at the girls in flower I could actually see Minnie Me starting to get frosty (she only went into the tent on 3/9) and took 3 pics of 3 buds with the loupe (so they would come out clear). Here they are:

Surprisingly, She has almost as many trichs as Harley and Casey (which are starting to speed up on their trich production). Oh well, just thought I'd share.

Oh yeah, 1 quick question, I have a small bud about the size of 2 bowls (I assume after it dries it would come out to about a bowlful) on Harley all by itself and was wondering it I plucked it and let it sit overnight in a ziplock bag that is holding an open container of Damprid to dry it out, would I be able to try smoking it tomorrow? I would just like some weed on 4/20 and had to ask you guys if that would work. I'm not going to do anything with out hearing your guys opinion. I was going to ask on The great 4/20 Smokathon of 2016 but since I'm so new, I don't really want to bother you guys there much if I can help it (Since getting hurt, all my self confidence which I had in tons has turned to shyness. I don't get it but it did, My old therapist said it's part of the P.T.S.D.)
 
Smokey damp rid funny enough will probably make it stay wet. Here's what you do. Take off a bud or two and put them on a plate or piece of aluminum foil. Turn the oven on the very lowest setting and put the plate inside. Leave the door of the oven cracked a bit so it doesn't get too hot. It will dry pretty quick but will have lost most of its taste. But it will keep the THC.

I had written two paragraphs about cleaning receptors and liver and CB1 then I realized I didn't know what I was talking about - so deleted them :)

I usually get the frozen ones and I eat them like candy... I also make a trail mix kinda stuff and I put dried mango in that... Mostly cause I like it but also because I'm a stoner...:)....:circle-of-love:

I like the frozen mango chunks. I put them on a plate while watching TV in the evening and try to wait for them to thaw before eating. I almost never wait for them to thaw :)

I find that when one girl starts pre-flowering or creating trichs, other nearby girls follow along.

I would dry your 'test bud' in a warm oven, I usually do about 90 minutes at 140 degrees.
I start checking at 45 minutes, but it usually takes about 90 minutes. :)
I let it go for 15 minutes AFTER I think it is already dry.
 
Darn. I wish I'd thought of suggesting you clip a tester for 4/20 a few days back... Shigs is right. Warm, dry, gentle heat. You don't want it to roast! There are other good ways. A regular old light bulb in a desk lamp works well. Set the nug on a piece of paper and slide it under the light about 6" away. Turn it every couple of hours like roasting a pig on a spit...
 
The mango thing is all about myrcene. It's one of the terpines found in pot, but especially in hops and mangos. Myrcene is an anelgesic and has been studied for medicinal values pretty extensively. It's been suggested that myrcene has some synergistic effect with caniboids. A sativa high in myrcene will be less edgy and a little more dreamy while remaining "up."

Interestingly, myrcine is a volatile compound. If you make CCO out of your weed the heat from the decarboxilation process kills all the myrcene because it also has reactive carboxyl groups.

Dr. Bob and I have jested about drinking heavily hopped beers while smoking edgy sativas to see if the myrcene takes the edge off. :laughtwo:

Compared to eating a mango, there is a crap ton more myrcene in a pint of IPA (especially those made with high myrcene hops like El Dorado or Citra.) The 7% ABV of those beers confuses things. However, in my experience, a couple of myrcene heavy IPAs take the edge off a sativa high nicely.

Hey, Smoke, is there room to put that Truthband into flower? It might be scruchy in the flower tent but you need to send her IMO.

Thanks Shiggity, I'll try the oven. Should I do it today (I assume I should) or wait until tomorrow? Thanks again!
 
I would do it when most convenient. If you do it today you can dry it most of the way and leave it to dry overnight out of the oven. If it is not dry tomorrow then redo the oven a bit.

I appreciate the help, PJ, And yes, I think there is room for the truthband and as soon as my helper has relaxed a little (he just got home from work), I will have him help me move the truthband into the tent.

Sorry it took so long to reply back, but right after I started typing this my wife had an insulin reaction and I had to make sure she ate/drank something to get her blood sugar back up.
But anyways, I have the oven preheating right now because I'm assuming I should do it today and not wait until tomorrow. Our oven only goes as low as 170 degrees so I won't leave it in as long and will rotate it every 15-20 minutes. And thanks for your insight on the mango question.
