Tangwena's Malawi-Style Cob Cure: Fermented Cannabis

[dynamo1]

I sealed it up, I question "chewing it up" as I hate using my dentures. I did gum (chew) up a small piece and can't tell if I'm higher or not

hahahaha! That is great! 0.1 gram does not look like much... How long did you chew?

 

[TorturedSoul]

This is good advice.

Thanks. I attribute that to the "infinite number of monkey typists" phenomenon .

But if I do eat another piece out of the same bit of dried cob I would probably double it. ~ 0.5 grams. Others that are more experienced seem to report that 0.5 g is a heavy dose, so I am almost completely sure it needs to ferment more or I did something wrong.

Eating cannabis can be a funny thing, IMHO. Seems to affect different people in different ways - and to different degrees. Plus, factors such as how much - and what - one already has in one's stomach can and do play a part. Sue suggests consuming mango prior to launch, I think.

Translation: Do not expect a 100% correlation between another's (oral) cannabis experience and your own.

I love using mine. Unfortunately, in my case, it is denture (singular) - and the teeth below are not often very cooperative. Have you thought about running a chunk through your grinder and then using it like snuff (the nasty fermented kind, not snorting it like you would with dry powdered snuff, LMAO)?

I've been wondering if - if/when the option becomes available for me, personally - I could grind some, either normally or even powder it via a coffee grinder, then dump the result into an empty tea bag, staple it shut, and stick that into my mouth for a while. I have... issues with small particles of food getting trapped deep inside the remains of a tooth and aggravating its nerve. While I love cannabis, I would very much hate to have some get stuck in there and rot.

TS, cob tea sounds like a winner. One could even add a touch of honey for some more health benefits.

I like the sound of that too TS. Hadn’t thought of the tea bag option, but good call. You can be sure you’ll get the opportunity to try before you’ve made your first cobs. These were Malawi cobs by design.

Morning Stage. Aren’t we having the most fun?

15 -20 minutes

15 -20 minutes

Did you learn that 0.1 gr is too small a dose at this stage of the process? What effect, if any, did you feel? I understand the "any higher" reference. Lol! I start the day with a brownie, hit the bong throughout the day and end with another brownie and a steady stream of hits. It never stops in my world, lucky me.

Testing the effectiveness of a new chemovar can be a challenge. Hehehe!

Only 26 pages late but I made it.

 

[DrDoob]

After ~25 hours I opened mine up. It was very strong smelling but like weed not anything else. It completely stunk up my whole house. It was damp, but no water drops anywhere. I tamped with a paper towel and put it back in in the dehydrator for another 12 hours. This morning I opened it up and the smell had changed dramatically. It now smells like pickled sausage now (Tijuana Mama!). I think it’s done with the fermentation stage, so I left it out to air dry then I’ll vacuum it back up and put it on top of the fridge for a few days and check it again.

 

[JustMeds]

Is it a sour kraut type smell?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Ok @SweetSue
Im cutting and hanging a carnival today so am I correct on assuming you don't dry completely before you roll the cob so when should I roll my cob

Also I have some still drying ACDC, it's around 70% RH, can I use it?
Time to play with this

 

[JustMeds]

I plan to put mine in cob at 80%. So maybe Tomorrow.

What's a good way to add some moisture back into buds??
Fresh stems?

 

[Weaselcracker]

I like putting the buds in an open container and then placing that in a humid tote (sealable container) with the lid on. In the bottom of the tote can be a damp towel, fruit, bowl of water, or any number of moist options Fresh bud works great.
The point being to have a nice even ambient moisture level to rehumidify the bud with. The source of moisture isn't touching the buds directly.
In reality it's usually so humid where I am - I can just skip the tote.

 

[DrDoob]

I just smoked a very tiny bong load and it got me much higher then that small of a bong should have. I was surprised it even burned considering how wet it was when it went into the cob.

 

[lazyfish]

What were those little chewing tobacco pouches that got popular ~ 10 years ago... snus? Basically chewing tobacco wrapped in a little tea bag.... That is a neat idea especially if you grind it into a fine powder first.

 

[lazyfish]

@DrDoob Sounds like a good experience.

What was the smell like? Did the smoke have any flavor? Acetone? Vinegar? anything fruity or pleasant?

I have been reading a lot about bacteria trying to figure out what is really going on. There are bacteria that make all sorts of things that would eventually evaporate away or degrade into CO2. It beer fermentation (which I am most versed in) yeast and bacteria make all sorts of flavors and aromas that eventually go away when treated properly.

It's a bummer that cobbing will never get the attention by science that it needs for us to fully understand how to get the best out of it.

 

[DrDoob]

I guess it smelled a bit vinegary but also a little sweet, it just tasted like normal weed although I didn’t clean the bong (or even change the water).
