So, as a long time skeptic of this whole mango thing, I've finally decided to give it a try. I drank a big glass of mango smoothie (homemade, so good) about 30 minutes ago. In another 30 minutes, I plan to toke up and I want to keep track of how I feel in this thread. As a control, I've been using the exact same batch of weed for the last 2 weeks to get a very good feel for the potency and effects of this particular batch. I want it to be as controlled as possible, so I'm basically doing everything the same as I do normally. I'll post back here in another 40 minutes or so I guess.
I've tried it a few times, but I honestly can't tell. All I know is I smoked, and got stoned. Which is good enough for me
Toking right now. Onset seems a bit faster but nothing real noticeable. Might just be a placebo effect. I'm cautiously optimistic. However, it's likely to be inconclusive, even if it does seem perceivable.
10 minutes later and feeling pretty damn high. Not too different yet, but there is a slightly different feeling to it.
[quote name='"Tha Come Up"']head its gotta b the eating of the mango itself to work ,no drinking jus eating the fruit.[/quote] No, this is incorrect
I took the fruit, blended it in a blender with some ice and yogurt, and poured myself a glass. How the fuck is that not eating the fruit? I used a whole mango. Why the hell would I buy premade at the store? Anyways, in the end, felt no different, didn't last longer, seemed to kick in faster but not really sure. I'm not saying it's bogus, but, it's certainly not a large enough effect to warrant it imo. Should eat more mango anyways because they're delicious.
This should help... a few things I've posted in past threads: --------------- For a much higher concentration of myrcene (the terpene in mangoes, responsible for the 'enhanced effect' noticed by some), a more economic investment would be a bottle of hops extract, or lemongrass oil. These are generally found in organic shops, as simple flavoring elements and supplements, that normally would not be advertised or (well-)known for their beneficial anti-cancer/anti-mutagen, sedative, and cannabinoid-enhancing properties. Fresh and homegrown cannabis, that has been properly cared for, should already be fairly loaded with myrcene. People will only notice the greatest amount of improvement, when this 'trick' is used in conjunction with older, lower-grade herb, where its terpene content has already diminished. Some lemongrass oils are up to 25% myrcene, and you get trace amounts of limonene (another terpene in cannabis), as well.... A mango is healthy and tasty, but effect-wise, if it's the myrcene you're after, there are better options. There are terpenes that can benefit and enhance your life, as well the effect of your cannabis, in many plants... Quote: Originally Posted by BadKittySmiles These (terpenes) are MUCH more easily released from our cannabis, than THC. They can be released into the air to be inhaled upon breaking up the plant matter, and they are responsible for why people feel 'stoned' while cutting and manicuring freshly harvested cannabis. They are also responsible for police officers, claiming they get 'high' in the line of duty when clearing out a bust. It's in fact the terpenes that cause this feeling, not cannabinoids. Alpha-Pinene Is found in various trees and plants, including cannabis. "This terpene is at the highest level in the Super Silver Haze. So if you like pine-tree smelling and tasting weed, think of growing this strain, or use it for crossings." ***Limonene "is a cyclic terpene. It is a colourless liquid at room temperatures with an extremely strong smell of oranges." This is where many strains get their citrus orange, lemon flavors and odors from. Sabinene is found in high levels in many haze varieties. ***Myrcene, or β-myrcene, - THIS is the terpene available in some fruits and plants, including mangoes, that causes people to feel that eating mangoes before smoking, will get them 'higher', which is somewhat true, only if the myrcene levels are high enough, and not diluted by so much plant flesh. For a more reliable effect, simply sniff your preferably fresh bud the instant you break it open, and enjoy that nice fragrance, just prior to smoking it. True widow strains develop high levels of myrcene. The fresher the herb, the more terpenes it likely has available. The terpenes are released so easily, that in some commercial bud they have often already mostly dissipated, before people have a chance to use the canna, in which case additional terpenes from fruit can help. TERPENES IN GRAPH: 1- ALPHA PINENE 2- CAMPHENE 3- BETA PINENE 4- SABINENE 5- DELTA-3 CARENE 6- ALPHA PHELLANDRENE 7- BETA-MYRCENE 8- ALPHA TERPINENE 9- LIMONENE 10- 1.8-CINEOLE 11- Y-TERPINENE 12- CIS-OCIMENE 13- TRANS-OCIMENE 14- ALPHA TERPINOLENE 15- TRANS-CARYOPHYLLENE 16- ALPHA HUMULENE ----------------- **** And about mango juice...... I don't know the specifics pertaining to the juice in question, but for the most part store-bought and bottled mango juices either will not work, or they will not work well. This is because they have often been heated or 'flash pasteurized' to the point that a large quantity of the heat-sensitive myrcene, the terpene which promotes the intensified effect, has dissipated. In the future, you can always buy a mango or two and puree them in your blender, or even by hand in a plastic bag You can 'drink' it as-is, or add a little of your favorite juice, or water. Or, you can go even a little further, and incorporate that puree into an edible canna recipe... Myrcene, intensifies cannabinoid cellular permeability. A CannAmbrosia Fruit Salad madewith tincture, is another way to benefit from the enhanced sensations, provided by additional terpenes in conjunction with your cannabinoids... (And edible drinkables ) A tip - Simply enjoying an oil burner for aromatherapy, containing a blend of lemongrass, nutmeg and sandalwood oils WILL produce a more euphoric and narcotic sensation while smoking. Do NOT attempt to directly inhale the vapors produced by your heated essential oils, this is not healthy, nor is it necessary to benefit from the terpenes! Feel free to experiment with other essential oils to produce a variety of sensations, from relaxing, to energizing. -------------- Anyhow... hope this helps!
that looks soooo good you should put that shit up on the food network lol edit: i forgot to mention i too have tried eating a whole mango 30 min before i smoked and the only thing i really noticed was feeling higher faster. didnt seem to get wayy more stoned than normal but i toke every day so it might be different with someone who doesn't smoke as much
has to be over riped mangoeeeesssss depending on ur bodyweight and how much mycerin ur body is lacking.
i ate a whole mango i left out for a day on the kitchen counter before toking one time and the shit was intense, give it a shot people. its a super charged high!
