Just asking for any feed back from others who may be into the Cannabis. I know smoking it is typically demonized in many health conscious communities, and for the avid rawest cooking "it" goes against the fundamentals of Raw Living, but what about eating the raw herb, as our foraging ancestors may have done?
I have a theory that our brains are wired with receptors to certain plant substances which were once a part of our foraging diets. Certain plants had trace amounts of opioids, and canabinoids, while others had certain tryptamines and when consumed within whole unprocessed forms in accordance with a well functioning instinctive stopping mechanism would elicit generally positive effects, and may have helped us form a unity with the environment, which has been in many ways lost after the rise of the agricultural revelation?
Ive used small amounts cannabis off and on for years, I quit smoking it entirely a couple of years ago, and since then only used small amounts of homemade infused oil. For the last few months I found that eating raw cannabis buds have a pleasant and much more mild effect than consuming cooked oil.
Apparently it is a myth that the Psychoactive components have to be heated to become active, because the liver is able to decarboxylates the THC and CBD, in a process that is much less damaging to some of the other beneficial canabinoids, than smoking.
If anything I would like to suggest to those in the raw world who have smoked in the past to try and eat it raw and see if there is an effect?
