Weed Ramen Noodles

This won't get you high, don't waste you're weed.

Weed needs to be cooked into a fat for you're body to digest easily which is not happening here. By throwing the bud into the water and bowling you will end up with noodles in bad tasting water that does not get you high at all.

Fail, dude.

 

It's good to see that you have an interest in edible cannabis.


Keep in mind that we use the 'edible solvents' we do, such as oil, glycerin and alcohol, not just to strip the glandular material (potency) from the inert plant matter, but because those solvents are specifically responsible for facilitating the absorption of your cannabinoids!



In other words, like the authors of the literally dozens of other weed ramen threads on GC, you're soon about to discover that eating the herb and broth, even if butter is included, and even when the herb is not strained and remains to be eaten, is sadly very disappointing.



If you want to actually absorb any active potency, you need to first decarb, and then process in something which cannabis glandular material can be dissolved, and become a bioavailable (absorb-able) solution in.




Even the 'water-butters' of the old days usually took between 15 - 24 hours of near-bubbling to finish, due to the water contamination, and as a result of the length of time and heat exposure required in order to promote absorption, in such a watery mix, the potency was noticeably diminished by the time it finished!

** In other words, your cooking time is not nearly long enough with the little fat that you (hopefully) plan to add in the form of butter or oil, which is the 'method' most folks attempt when making herbal ramen... and then, even when it is processed for the correct length of time, at the right temps, in such a diluted solvent? You're degrading potency in the process. **


---


This is why we make pure canna oils, and it's why we use not just butter, but clarified butter that is free of water (and milk solids), to make our canna butters!



*** It's also important that you activate or decarb your herb beforehand, as the very first step of the process before extraction.. this goes for whether you're making oil, or tinctures, and particularly if you don't intend on, or simply forget to clarify your butter. ***


There's a TON of information on decarboxylation, or the activation of your cannabinoids, in the links I'll share below.




Don't worry, making oil is easy!



And if you're in a rush or feeling lazy, well, it's all the more important that you're using a pure, quality solvent or oil source...

This is because you will make much more progress in any given amount of time, if your solvent is not contaminated or working at a lower level of efficiency.


It sounds easier to just brew up a cup of tea or make a pot of noodles, and it is, but that doesn't mean it's going to work, and in the same time you could have instead been making a much more effective oil, with multiple, longer-lasting, more powerful doses from the same amount of material that a single cup of ramen would require (and that's if/when it works, at all), a long shelf-life and MULTIPLE uses, even if you do just decide to simply add it back to your noodles, or to a cup of tea or coffee.

What to make?



Besides just easily adding it to ramen or two-minute noodles, you can make all sorts of tasty treats with it, either immediately after it cools, or after storing for up to several months (or several years, if using the fridge or freezer).

If you're using raw herb directly without oil to make a milk, tea, or ramen, and your 'window of opportunity' suddenly closes beyond your control (roommates come home early, family emergency etc.) and if you can't use a freezer or fridge for your creation, then you've got a limited amount of time to use it before it spoils.
That's not so, with a good pure oil or clarified canna butter. Your oil will be able to sit in your room or dorm, sealed in a container, for months or even longer until the time is right and you're ready to use it.



Think of it this way:

Why make something that is guaranteed at the very best, to waste multiple doses, just for the sake of a mediocre high, that may or may not even happen, when you can take the same amount of material, the same amount of effort, and make MULTIPLE, stronger, longer-lasting, doses? There's just no logic to it!

PS - If you don't like the idea of oil? You can always opt for tincture (tutorials above).. you can buy a 16oz bottle of food grade glycerin for $5 - $10, enough to make dozens, if not hundreds of doses (fewer with herb, more with hash/concentrate)! It keeps well for years, even outside of the fridge, when stored properly.
If you can afford your stash, you can easily afford something that all on its own, can make you dozens of deliciously narcotic drops, without any other baking required.



Making edibles, drinkables and various tinctures can be very easy, and very affordable, especially where it's so much more efficient than smoking once you get the hang of it!




Good luck, and have fun.

 

What an awesome post

 

Not true.
Yes, adding to an oil would be much more effective, but eating it alone would still have an effect.

 

Sorry but by simply adding weed to greasy water and noodles won't work. Not only did he not decarb it, letting it sit for 4 minutes in something with no oil other then greasy water won't do anything but waste it. Maybe if he made edible oil and added that to it yes.

Only if you consumed a ridiculous amount.

 

You don't need to apologise for being wrong man.
Indian sadhus have been eating raw hashish for centuries. Pretty sure they don't just eat it for the sake of it...

 

Yea listen to bad kitty man. I've tried several different methods just wasting good bud everytime

 

Yeah, but they ate it for it's medicinal effects and not to get high because eating it alone doesn't get you high.

 

Eating raw hash, and actually absorbing that potency and getting stoned, are two very different beasts.



Consider that a person can eat raw hash, all day long, and hardly or not even catch a buzz, at all.


In fact, you'd feel the sedating and narcotic effects and sensations provided by the still-medicinally-beneficial terpenes, when eating raw cannabis in high volume, LONG before you'd feel any amount of sensation from the cannabinoids.


But then, that same person can sprinkle a mere fraction, a tiny hundredth of that same amount of hash into oil, process properly, and be blasted for hours and hours on end.




This is because, properly processed, you have both active material, amd material that can pass through cell-walls for delivery to the bloodstream.


Cannabis glandular material is notoriously difficult to absorb all on its own, even when activated, and even when in the form of a gooey or sticky concentrate.



It's why the best professional edible vendors, make edible oils from concentrates such as BHO and honey oils, by using clarified butter and vegetable oils, rather than just adding the concentrates directly to edibles. It's not just to thin it out or make it a better consistency, or they wouldn't bother with candy (where it easily disperses). They use edible cooking oils, because combined with cannabis glandular material they create a solution that is highly bioavailable.




It is the very same process used to encourage the absorption of stubborn chemicals in the pharmaceutical world, sometimes known as liposomal encapsulation or LET.


Simply put, it's when a chemical or substance, is broken down into particles which are small enough to be passed through cell walls.

But on their own, they would bounce off rather than pass through those walls.


By first coating them with something that can pass through, easily, it allows them to slip through rather than just bouncing off your tract until you 'evacuate' the material without absorption.

It's not just a matter of washing or dissolving the material in a solvent (oil), in which case you're simply left with free-floating cannabinoids (or the chemical/pharmaceutical in question) in an oil wash.
It takes gentle heat, and several hours, in order to cause the bonding effect that creates a persistent coat or layer of fat surrounding the components individually, resulting in a solution.




That's also why in present-day India, they make 'ghee' or clarified butter, and process their hash and herb with it using gentle heat, usually days in advance, before sale or use!


That's how the best bhang, bhang balls, and all the tea, milk and yogurt drinks and snacks sold by vendors in the streets, are all made.

Even those foods and drinks made in the stalls, right before your eyes...


That 'raw looking' hash, or herb they grab to add in the mix? It's actually slick with solid butters and coconut oils, and it endured hours, if not weeks of processing and aging in that oil, before being added to the drinks or food.


---


And keep in mind that back when they more commonly ate 'raw' hash (and even today, in some traditional, tribal communities around the globe), that hash was usually hand-rubbed and rolled between their finger tips, sometimes for hours, sometimes even days at a time, blending with their own bodily oils, decarbing and oxidizing along the way... and it was often even stored or aged before consumption, to boot!

This is certainly far from ideal, of course, and it still required over-eating or consuming MUCH more than is really needed, in order to achieve the desired effect (which made smoking a still-more efficient route, when edibles can, and should be the more efficient method)... but it's very different from, and much better than grabbing a totally raw clump of flowers, and munching away, without any previous bodily/oil interaction at all.

We've learned quite a lot about cannabis glandular material, about activation of cannabinoids, how they interact with the edible solvents we use, and how they absorb and react in our bodies, since the first documented evidence of its use.


Heck, we've learned a TON just since just the 70's.

 

I want your book kitty!

Honestly, I HATE cooking but LOVE cannabis. I think that if (or, when), I start cooking with this awesome herb, I think I'll find that love for cooking.

 

ive tried this 3 diff times at my last condo i lived in. nothing..... nothing happened

 

When I was younger I bought a nine bar of hash and ate about an ounce of it. Purposely done on an empty stomach due to me thinking it would work in the same way as alcohol.
I was baked.
Putting it in a solvent would be much more efficient (as I said in the first place), but I know that it still works without.

 

No one said it didn't.

So I'm not sure what you're asking/getting at?


But, you did just prove my point, beautifully!



If you ate an ounce of hash, or roughly 300 - 500 edible doses of cannabis, the equivalent for many patients, of over a years worth of daily POTENT meds, then I certainly hope you felt stoned.


Processed properly, you could have greened out a couple hundred times, rather than being 'stoned' just once.

 

Because you're acting like I don't know what I'm talking about.
I've already made clear twice before this that I know it wouldn't be as potent. In one post I was told that Indian Sadhus ate hash for medicinal effects alone, which I know not to be the sole reason. You also said you could eat hash all day and not catch a buzz.
My first post in the thread explains the only thing I was trying to say. lol

 

Yes, I can eat raw hash all day and not catch a buzz, MANY people can.


People with lower tolerances, can eat an oz of raw hash, several hundred doses, and can sometimes 'feel something', but those of us who eat highly active, bioavailable medical grade oils, on a daily basis, often feel nothing from under-processed cannabis, because it simply can not keep up with the rate of delivery provided by a properly made oil, regardless how much you eat.

Absorption just can't physically happen at even close to the rate required.


I can eat my fill of raw herb and hash, I've done so before to the tune of several oz's during my 'fun youth' ( ), and I didn't then, and still won't feel medicated in the slightest.


Processed properly, the same material will give me months worth of medicine.


That's all...


If you agree with everything I've said all along, then I'm not sure why this has made you so defensive! So I apologize that you're getting upset.

 

I see...

^^^ So far as advice to the OP goes, that is just simply not true, in the least, so it's is likely where your confusion here all started.


Someone who uses the -same amount- of material that will work with oil, who then tries to eat that same, small amount material without any of the proper processing, will feel -nothing-.


That's why hundreds of doses in hash, can provide only a single mediocre buzz, when eaten raw.



Using that knowledge, and just a small amount of logic: if hundreds of doses only just barely feels like 'something' when eaten raw, then a single dose, eaten raw, will not be nearly enough to provide any amount of sensation.

 

Because you're telling me things as if I didn't already know them. Just because I don't feel like spending an age writing an essay on it doesn't mean I don't understand it. If you're talking to the rest of the thread fair enough, but at least make it clear you aren't acting as if I'm some kind of weed apprentice, because I'm (fairly obviously in my eyes) not.
I may not be at your almighty experience or tolerance, but after 12 years of smoking I'm fairly sure it's pretty damn high.
Not that it really matters, the raw hash experiment was three years in and the first time I'd eaten cannabis at all. I'm not about to try it again knowing I could use it to it's full potential instead, but that's not the point...
