Tangwena's Malawi-Style Cob Cure: Fermented Cannabis

SweetSue said:
I chewed up the last of the taster cut from the DC cob this morning, and followed it up with a Carnival brownie, since I know it wasn't going to offer the euphoric experience I've grown to love.

What I have noticed from the beginning is a certain calming of the mind that demonstrates itself most profoundly in my meditation practices. After chewing a cob, as immature as they are at this stage, I've noted it's easier to drop into the meditative state, and easier to stay there without any internal dialogue that doesn't become immediately silenced, as though some deep presence is going "shhhhhh...." Lol!

I'm interested to see if this expression repeats as the cobs become more mature.

The euphoria from the brownies has also taken on a tone that calls me to detail, noticing fine detail in textures around me. Makes walking outdoors a heightened experience.

Hi Sue its that sense of wonder in nature and that euphoric feeling of universal love thats so overwhelming that keeps me coming back day after day. Its like being reborn everyday and seeing things for the first time like a child that I cant get enough of.

My Carnival cobs were sweated for 28 hours, I had lots of moisture this time but they still look gold. The pre sweat weight was 172.83 grams. After sweat was 156.18 grams so I lost 16.65 grams of water. I let them dry to the touch which took about 1.25 hours. They are resealed and added to the fermenting strawberry fields cob. I gotta say the smell was much different with the Carnival cobs, maybe because they had lots of moisture where my SF cob was dryer going in. The SF cob stunk the whole kitchen up with an incredible citrus smell. The Carnival smell was more like a warm hard to describe smell, it was nothing like the limey smell going in.

Lovely they should cure very nicely you can see the difference you get from trying different parameters they should be very interesting after a week please post pics after 7 days you may have something very special brewing there my friend.
Good sweat as well thats what I like to see when I take mine out of the heat source.
 
@tangwena. I'm wondering what is your experience with cobbing indicas and what it does for the indica high, if you know much about that? I don't smoke indica myself but wanted to try some cobs with it - mainly because it's my next harvest - no sativas coming up for a few months. .
:thanks::passitleft:

Hi my friend I dont have any experience with Indicas but many guys I know have done them, some say it makes what little high they have seem less heavy and more pleasant others said its best not to cob them as it doesn't have much if any effect.

The biggest effect is with sativa or sativa dom hybrids I dont know why but it def brings out very noticeable changes especially if you chew aged fermented bud.

Smoked it just makes them milder on the lungs and the high is more clear and clean in your head sought of high.
If thats the sort of high your after then this is for you. But if you like a stoney type of high then Indicas are the way to go.
Its horses for courses not everyone likes the euphoric tripped out crazy type of high.

When I first smoked hash in London after coming from Africa I thought it was boring but after only being able get hash most of the 4 years I lived in England I grew to appreciate it has its place.
Just not at my place ha ha. Now I have good quality plants I would not be interested in anything except sativa dom hybrids and pure sativas fermented.

Last night I only got to sleep at 2.30am because I had a second helping of Panama x Honduras at 4pm after having some Panama at 8.30am.
I was bushed after fishing in the sun all day and had no energy to clean the boat, fish and equipment.
That was untill I had the 4pm chew. I accomplished all the jobs and even found time to boogie while I was filleting the fish.
It was very euphoric shot of energy and joy that is still with me now at 8am the next day. Thats why I love sativas.

Well, Today I cobbed my first cannabis. Had some OG come down Saturday and let it dry for a couple days. I took 2 medium branches, rolled them in corn husks, tied them up and vac-sealed. They're sitting at 106f now until tomorrow night.

YES!!
 
You all notice how unexcited I am about all this. Lol!
 
Governmentchz said:
I hope the amounts used are somewhat arbitrary. I only used about 7g in each one. Well, one might be 10, but I definitely didn't use a z.

They're both about the size and shape of a regular sharpie.

They may not ferment as well, but we’ll get to see that, won’t we? The size recommended is, in part, to assure enough moisture to kickstart the magic.

If making a small cob it might be advisable to make them squatty and thick instead of thinner and long.

We’re learning as we go, and if we don’t push that envelope we won’t find the unexpected surprises, will we? :battingeyelashes:
 
Hello Everyone,

I want to say something that I think is very important. Last week torturedsoul raised a concern about botulism in cobs. I have been thinking and reading a lot about botuism and how it could potentially be present in cobs.

First... I am not a doctor or any qualified sort of person. I am just a person trying to explore the world one cob at a time just like you ;). This is only my opinion.

I finally found a reason that is good enough for me to be absolutely comfortable eating cobs. . . Make sure they are dry. Botulism toxins are created in anaerobic (oxygenless) environments at room temperature if the product has not been properly pasteurized (sound familiar?). Botulism toxins can be destroyed by heat and by exposure to air! (I recently LEARNED)

I think as long as the cobs are dry they is free of Botulism toxins.

I really would hate to have helped contribute to something as wonderful as cobs and see someone seriously injured by something simple (and complicated!) like chewing wet vs. dry cob. This has really been bothering me, I hope you understand.

Don't drink and drive. Dry your cobs.

Thanks again to Tangwena and Sue for all of the inspiration and good times.

:peace: and :green_heart: AND :passitleft:

This is reassuring. The object is to get them to the sweet spot and dry them out, isn't it? Then, if we store them vacuumed it completely eliminates the chances, slim though they may be.
 
lazyfish, you make me wish they hadn't taken my rep hammer away. :hugs::hugs::hugs:

It's the way way children live, open to the wonder around them, feeding off the energy of the cosmos, curious about every little thing and more, so much more.

The cobs open the door to the natural expression of the soul. It was so cool today guys. When I left the library and headed home after our coffee and conversation group I decended the steps to the street, watching carefully as we tend to do in our "senior years" lol! It's a steep stone staircase that ends across from a small, equally steep parklet.

As my feet hit the sidewalk and I prepared to lift my gaze to the view out over the river valley I knew would greet me, I distinctly remember feeling a giggle, way down deep inside, and the awareness that "this is gonna be fun!" Then I uncharacteristically took my time looking up, allowing myself the opportunity to "see" as much as I could in the time it took me to sweep the eyes from my feet up to the horizon line. Like it was a game, and the object was to see the most. Lol!

Even for me it was a moment of enhanced wonder. :battingeyelashes:

My friend I think 75% of Aquarium fish come from that lake. All the rift valley lakes of which lake Malawi is one.
Have unique fish species that have evolved in a world of their own. Its like diving in an aquarium.
Its quite safe in more inhabited areas around hotels, towns ect. But outside of these areas beware Hippos and Crocodiles.
Oh and dont smoke the weed ha ha.
