Tangwena's Malawi-Style Cob Cure: Fermented Cannabis

[JustMeds]

I think I may have found the next adventure. I will keep it tucked away, the running back is still going full tilt on this play.

 

[TorturedSoul]

Well....not EVERYONE......some of us are aspiring to be....

I "heard" that, lol.

I would be willing to do the testing.

THANK YOU! I realize that this sort of thing is certainly not free, so I appreciate the offer for more reasons than just the work involved.

In regard to strains high in CBG, try growing out Panama or Tikal from ACE. They post their test results on their website.

Yes, I have seen some of their reports. That's one of the reasons why I wish they would become one of our sponsors. Another being that they seem to actively participate on the forums they sponsor.

One of the things their Panama mother is known for is high CBG, it has about 3%. I had a Tikal that tested at about 2% that I shared with them. A discussion came up about it in the ACE forum and they have found Central American sativas tend to be high in CBG.

Thanks for the information. Hey... ACE. Hmm. Isn't that the breeder of Zamaldelica? IIRC, I have a few seeds of that strain. IDK whether they are "from the breeder," a result of a selfing (intentional or otherwise), or if someone's Zamaldelica plant got pollinated by a different strain altogether. They were a gift from a... caregiver and the bag just states "Zamaldelica." But I have read good things about the strain, and would guess that it has the potential to press a few of my buttons.

The old stoners here told me I took it too early that's why it was high in CBG. I disagreed, Tikal is an 11-13 week strain, mine went 18 weeks so I don't think it was because it was harvested early.

Did you harvest it (way) late, or did that just happen to be how long it took that particular plant/phenotype to fully mature? Ordinarily, I'd expect a lot of degradation and conversion of cannabinoids if a plant were harvested over a month late, but have experienced (many times, as I assume others have) actual flowering times to vary a good bit from breeders' descriptions, either because they couldn't seem to stabilize the strain to save their lives and, therefore, the phenotypes were all over the place, because the breeder counted the flowering period from the visible onset of flowers instead of the day the light schedule was switched, because the breeder was a bit "optimistic," because the breeder figured advertising a shorter flowering time would sell more product, or because ???.

BtW, did you run a strict 12:12 light schedule in flowering? If so, do you recall exactly how long the flowering stretch period was, from the day you switched to flowering to the day the stretch ended?

Can you imagine the day where nursing homes and senior living can have their own cannabis medication gardens? That would be awesome!

Considering what some of the staff (at some places) do to their detainees simply because it makes their jobs easier... I have wondered for years why they didn't all find some way to supply unlimited amounts of cannabis.

I'm always reminded by my daughter that the Internet was made for porn. Lol!

Uhh... O... kay. As Mom (and Dad, when he was still a corporeal entity) always said, they're never too old for a whippin', lol.

Hahaha! Tangwena's sage advice for the day: Timing is everything. If you desire to go to sleep at 9 PM begin chewing at 9 AM. I can certainly understand that. Lol!

He also suggests that once the cobs are cured I'll most likely be satisfied with a bite weighing around 0.1 grams.

It just dawned on me... Chewing. Bite. Unless that stuff has some sort of "super-exponential madly effective Novocaine" properties, I'll never be able to experience it in the way that y'all are. (~TS~ walks down the road, kicking an old soup can and sulking.)

Am I the only one who's heart beats faster when he says something like that?"Astral. WooHoo, here I come!"

I hope so. My at-rest pulse rate averages 113-117 BPM.

Ok, that got my attention. Lol! You found this adventure. What are you sniffing around now?

 

[SweetSue]

TS, if you mash it up and just hold it in your mouth for a while you’ll get cannabinoids released into the bloodstream. Alternatively, you could mash it in warm milk and then sip.

Not like my favorite Nestle strawberry.......I wonder what the two would taste like together......

 

[lazyfish]

I wonder what would happen if you chewed 0.1 grams of plain dry bud?

Forum is back, YAY!!!

You probably guessed, but I'm sitting here wondering if it would lessen a toothache, or exasperate it. I "get" the pain-relieving quality of cannabis - and its ability to affect the mind in such a way that you still have the pain, but just don't care - but small particles can make their way down into the... remains of the tooth until they either directly affect the nerve or indirectly do so (by rotting, I assume, causing infection and swelling that puts pressure on that nerve), causing a combination of constant pain and what feels like a random - but fast - "hammering a rusty, frozen, electrified nail into it."

So I cannot decide what the net result would be. An academic question at present, of course - but the knowledge might be of use at some point in the future.

Alternatively, you could mash it in warm milk and then sip.

Would that be... bhangtastic, lol? Someone made me an Indian drink once, I think it was called a bhang lassi (or something similar). I can't say for sure, because it wasn't the only treat that I had that day, but I thought it was at least partly responsible for the hours-long buzz that included much staring at clouds and "dreaming while awake." The company and setting would have helped, of course.

 

[TorturedSoul]

I wonder what would happen if you chewed 0.1 grams of plain dry bud?

Logic tells me that you'd create .1 gram (plus water weight) of soggy bud. Unless you decarboxylated it first.

OtOH, I once had many jars of bud, and so wasn't exactly concerned about wasting it. A friend stopped by, saw me sitting there with one open, and chewing furiously on something (it was a Slim Jim, lol). He asked, "Are you chewing bud?!?" so I replied, "Yeah, man, gives an awesome buzz, here, try it," and gave him one. (It was of decent size, though.) He later told me that he masticated it for about an hour and "got wasted." And that he let it dry out, smoked it the next day, and got high from that. But (a) he, for all his size and long history of cannabis use, is a bit of a lightweight and (b) some people can convince themselves of almost anything.

So... IDK. Try it and let us know, lol.

I’ll try when I get back home. I have some Carnival that’s been curing for 7 months. That should have some psychoactive effects.

 

[Scottay]

Oh it was Scottay. Have we tempted you to play?

Id definitely try this if I had enough on hand to do so!!! Believe me girl....I'm taking notes!!!

 

[lazyfish]

Because I seriously don't think too much of the THCa is activated in so little time. But... I have no grounds to say. It's just that you are changing 2 variables one being the cobbing process and two being the administration pathway - which is one that no one uses except when it is cobbed. So who is to say where the effects are coming from until you try it. ??

 

[SweetSue]

Even if all you do is vacuum up the buds, sweat and ferment them, without the husks and the long cure, you’ll potentiate what you harvest Scottay. The cobs are a special feature to a unique curing process. I think it’s worth trying with smaller amounts and without husks, just to see what you think of the euphoric effects.

You never know Scottay, it might turn out to be right up your euphoric alley.

 

[TorturedSoul]

I’ll try when I get back home.

You mean you were allowing me to ("personally") pester you when you weren't even home? Darlin', it's perfectly acceptable to say, "I'm busy right now," you know. I appreciate your immense kindness and all, but I'm not made out of eggshells .

I have some Carnival that’s been curing for 7 months. That should have some psychoactive effects.

How do you do it, lol? Isn't that one of your - and your daughter's - favorites? I'm starting to think, no matter how little or how much I have, it's always going to be a case of "here today, gone tomorrow (mourning the day after ) . I'm probably one of those people who really does need a keeper caregiver.

It is my understanding that THCA is not capable of passing the blood:brain barrier. That was what I meant about the only effect of chewing "regular dry bud" only giving soggy bud as the result.

I might be mistaken about that. It happens more and more.

The sample

0.5 grams of Carnival, 7-month cure

At 9:15 I chewed a half gram of well-cured Carnival. Chewed for 5 minutes, swallowing minimally. At 5 minutes I took a small sip of a whole milk and blackstrap molasses drink I enjoy in the evenings and swished it in my mouth with the masticated plant material for a full 5 minutes before swallowing and washing it down with the rest of the milk drink.

Now we wait.

TS.....I enjoy our conversations. Rest assured, if I couldn’t participate I’d let you know.

I used to have that sense of “not enough” about cannabis. My entire experience with my husband was like that. All 34 years were spent scraping the cash together to get the next quarter bag.

Somewhere in the time since his passing I stopped going to that thought and shifted it with deliberation to a sense of “always more than enough.” Lo and behold, the universe heard my intention and made it happen. I believed it was so and it became.

Not a pressure, just a share. It’s not magic that makes my life special and abundant, it’s deliberate action to control my thoughts. I’ve been on that experiment for over a year now. I think it’s working.

Has anybody said what the effects are smoking this cobbed cannabis??? .1 gram as a dose ..wowww...sounds seriously strong!!!

A lot of the guys on Tangwena's thread smoke theirs. I'm not sure how many chew like Tangwena does. I have yet to read the entire thread. This one keeps me busy enough. Lol! It's a powerful buzz by any administration method Scottay.

 

[lazyfish]

I recall from the thread:

Many people have smoked and chewed the cob. The smoke report is usually along the lines of a more clear and energetic high. Very strong and euphoric. Bordering and sometimes crossing into psychedelic. People chew small amounts ~0.1 - 0.5 grams and report a much more overpowering high that lasts all day. Tangwena talks like it does not induce anxious feelings like typical edibles can if you eat too much. One guy reported chewing 5 grams ( it might have been 3.5, it's buried in the thread) and said it was too much. Lost all control, like on the ground drooling. He could not go to sleep. He said he wouldn't recommend it but said everyone should try it once... hehe.
