What happens if you swallow weed?

[Unkempt1]

Weed is NOT orally active. The reason you get high when you smoke it is because the heat converts the THC to a form which can be absorbed by the body. You see, THC is fat soluble, not water soluble. This means that simply swallowing it will have no noticable effects, unless his stomach was currently filled with very, very hot butter. When you cook with weed, you must first throw the pot in very hot butter or oil in order to draw the THC out. Then you cook something with said butter or oil.

So, he should feel little if anything. At least he added some extra fiber to his diet.

If you so desire you could eat the THC fat straight up, but I'm splitting hairs. It's possible to eat your stash straight up and catch a buzz provided that your stash is big enough, but a joint is not enough. For weed to be really effective orally the THC needs to be removed by fat or alcohol.

Your friend will be fine.

I have heard that you have to eat a LOT to get high. It will be fun for him to "pass" the paper out. Haha.

A joint's worth probably isnt going to do much.

Unless it was really good stuff, and he's been sober all day.. he might be able to feel somethin then.

Took me 1/8 in brownies to get a slight buzz.

Then you must have had some BAD stuff man. Not that I do the stuff of course. But yeah, 1/8 in a batch of brownies would be enough to last you quite some time.

If he swallowed a j he'll probably get high...a complete body high.

The digestion process breaks down most of the THC before it can hit your bloodstream, which is why people smoke it instead of eating it most times. Some of it will get through if you eat enough, but like has been mentioned it has to be drawn out of the weed first, usually with heat or by breaking it down some other way. Stomach acid breaks it down... but then breaks down most of the THC as well. If he ate a J he'll probably feel a light buzz, maybe even as much as the equivalent of taking one light hit since the Pepsi might help the THC get out there faster. (Carbonic acid and tannic acid break down stuff too) If it was lit and extinguished prior to him swallowing it the effects might increase a teeny tiny bit as well.

If you eat enough you can get a pretty good high which kicks in about 30 mins to 2 hours later
