Cooking with Vaporized Pot

[Puffin13]

In this months issue of Cannabis Culture mag, (CC#71) under the Ask Ed (Ed Rosenthal) section, there is a question titled Cooking with Vaporized Pot. Basically someone is asking Ed if he has any info on whether the "used" pot from a vaporizer is effective when baked and ingested.

(His answer really surprised me. I thought the remains were just basically ash and you just threw it out.)

Ed's answer:
"People have different preferences of vaporizing temperatures and methods of using the device. When chunks of marijuana (rather than shredded or grinded material) are placed in the stage, the heat is not evenly dispersed; the inner portions of the chunks do not get as hot as the outside, so some THC is left behind. At lower temperatures, more of the terpenes - the odor molecules - are vaporized, compared to THC, so some of the THC remains in the herb. At higher temperatures, virtually no THC is left.

However, the CBD and CBN cannabinoids are usually still left in the pot, so the left over herb can be used for cooking. CBD and CBN usually have a stronger body effect rather than a cerebral high, and cooking with pot usually brings out those cannabinoids."

If anyone has experience cooking with already vaporized weed, could you please share your stories? One Love.

One of my friends does this, I've had his "leftover" cookies; quite strong.

Smoking vaporised weed is still fantastic. I had some bubblegum, which was really strong anyway, but we vaporised some and as we were leaving, the guy said to take it as we can still use it.

I smoked it later and it was definitely a body rather than a dead stone, it left me sitting in my chair for a while, so I can understand that baking it after still works.

Also, after vaporising, when you smoke it, a lot of the MJ flavour has dissapeared, but you still get stoned.

the dude at Biba amazed me....every time i was ready to dump the "brown" vaped weed, he would take the pile and regrind it and put it back in the vape for 2-3 killer hits....i've been wasting so much over the years
