Without going all geeky there is an enzyme in the liver that converts THC to a non psychoactive form. It’s efficiency differs in individuals. I am clearly very inefficient because 10mg and I am flying but a liver highly efficient in this enzyme will neutralise virtually all the THC even in high doses.

RSO is about the strongest concentrate available so if that doesn’t work for you then you have one of those darn efficient livers and will probably live forever- or at least it will feel that way😉

You could boof it. Seriously- suppositories bi-pass the liver to the bloodstream and (apparently) deliver a stunning high.

Insert jokes here:

Good luck👍

I will leave it up to you how to pronounce.

"For the Soul and the Hole" :)

I'm pretty interested in the geeky side of this - can you remember what the name of the enzyme is?
I thought our current understanding of why edibles hit so hard was that, on top of a greater % of THC being retained rather then burnt off as with smoking, first-pass metabolism of THC converted (some of?) it into a more psychoactive form?

Sometimes it’s good to go geek🤓:

An enzyme called cytochrome P2C9 (CYP2C9) in the liver and GI tract is responsible for breaking down Delta-9 THC. This enzyme is used as part of the first steps of your body's metabolizing process. It also breaks down other drugs and hormones.

BUT….the level of production of that enzyme varies by individual and by liver health.

And that’s one explanation for why we all react differently to edibles!

Yeah pretty sure that’s me ! I have a bad liver

i take RSO my friend makes sub-lingually (under the tongue) and it gets you pretty high pretty quick. Apparently enters the blood directly and bypasses the stomach route.

Interesting I read that boofing it doesn't give you psychoactive effects but I'm not sure, never tried lol.

I did read that people who have to take it for cancer treatment but don't want to get high boof it. The people doing the Rick Simpson regime are doing like 1000mg a day, it's nuts.

We have RSO also a drink version of edibles called Jungle Juice which maybe something worth trying my friend.

Peace

Have you tried ensuring you've not eaten anything for maybe 4 hours before taking? If you're taking after eating a big meal then its not got a fart's chance in a hurricane... I agree that eating something with a little fat / oil in it afterwards can help... even just a hot cup of tea with milk will do... failing that, give up on the edibles and try some RSO oil, probably cheaper and you can just pop a "grain of rice" sized blob on a biscuit...

Yeah I’ve took them before eating , they have only worked one time when I put some shake in the oven my self but I got really sick and didn’t like the feeling 🤦‍♂️it’s so annoying all I wnna do is take some edibles hahah

Thanks for the reply , Can you explain rso for me ? I’ve smoked for many years but just flower really , are you saying rso (Rick oil?) will work when edibles don’t ?

Rick Simpson Oil has never failed for me.

Melt three big bars of chocolate in a bowl, squirt in 1ml of RSO oil, mix like a possessed demon, pour into moulds so you get around 36 chocys.

1ml of RSO is normally 1000mg THC, so each chocy is about 30mg of THC.

You'll be off ya tits on 4, but 2 should do you nice. You'll know within 30 minutes.

I hope I’m off my tits gonna give it a try tomorrow 👍 just hope it actually works I’ve spend hundreds on edibles haha guess I’ll have to give up after this try lol

Give RSO a try, our cookie dough edibles are made with high quality RSO. Try eating your edibles on an empty stomach too

Welcome to the club my friend, it sucks lol.
I have been told to try drinking grapefruit juice before taking any edibles as it can affect the way medication is absorbed through the body or something sciency I don’t quite understand. That may work,
I haven’t tried it but it’s worth a go.
Somebody else on here mentioned about taking a carrier oil with the edible, take a big spoon of coconut oil with your edible that also may work for you.

Hi B,

The issue with edibles is that the THC needs a emulsifying carrier in order to be delivered both active and in the smallest ( most spread out ) form for absorption.

This is something that we have to factor in with medical users all the time.

There are several factors that can effect your personal absorption rates and thus dictate the carrier we would use for the THC.

The delivery would be in tincture or capsule form.

For additional effects, we would then include some activated shatter or melt, that would give you a more rounded and pleasant effect.

Basically, with all concentrate products, carts etc, we have to get as close as recreating a bud based old school product, by stitching together the correct concentrates.

The result for edibles for the users, "should" be a much stronger concentrated version of a cannabutter or RSO based product.

We are always happy to custom make products and having sorted out our turn around times, we're focusing on the more clever shit, like this, again ;)

SOLVED ; polly said about the enzyme Which I’ve heard of before after googling I’m pretty sure that’s my issue I probably can’t take edibles due to liver issues I’m going to try a under tounge solution to bipass my liver

Do a detox and kidney/liver cleanse. It's too many toxins in your kidneys and liver to get the effect. Do a long Fast then try them. lol

When your systems clean like Pollys will be you'll get effects off low doses as it converts to delta 11 in edible form. Also if you combust lots of weed you may just need a larger dosage.

Liver detox/any detox (especially Online/non lab made) is basically sudoscience they don’t work it’s a scam, so I doubt that will make a difference, if you google it you’ll see there has never been any proven correlation between detox products and genuine improvement, it’s like taking sugar pills. I think my problem is my body won’t convert the thc inside my liver

try these

https://littlebiggy.org/link/hkeNpD

yet to find anyone who isn't hit for 6 by them.

Will also be listing tinctures soon just waiting for the labels to arrive

I'm going through an edible test at the moment with very mixed results. Low dose, very mellow. Higher dose, nothing to write home about. Go figure! I will keep testing though. (I think set and setting are very important. Tbh I've tried a couple of times when I'm in a low mood and tired and the RSO has just amplified this. Although, it is supposed to lift your mood? May just stick to vaping!!)

The liver thing has been mentioned, so you could try putting RSO under the tongue sublingually as this will bypass the liver and "should" work (or a tincture, as you say). If it does and eating doesn't - then it's your liver. If it doesn't work under the tongue, it could contain no THC (maybe?). In that case, give it to somebody else to try. If it works for them, then I don't have an answer for you. Unlucky, I suppose?

Warning: the RSO I have is very sticky and leaves a dark stain, so be careful how you "consume" it. I went out once with black all over my lips and didn't realise for a long time. Not good for the paranoia when people are looking at you funny! Cheers :)

You need to understand your tolerance.

For example, when a serious vendor says it has 500mg (milligrams) it means 0.5 grams of some form of cannabis extract (RSO, rosin, BHO, etc) in the whole product .

This is a high doseage already , but if you don't feel anything gradually increase so you don't have a couch potato experience .

It can take up to 2 hours to feel the effect and like said before empty stomach will speed up absorption to the blood stream.

Strong Tintures might be a good solution for you.

When you eat it it's process in digestive system (mainly leaver) and it's impossible you don't feel... Once you know your tolerance !

Stay high

Bald eagle bakery has an edible called the Death Star that is 500mg and the listing states not for pussies?! 😵‍💫

I think they’re is also a thing called death juice 1000mg to wash it down with!😜

Assuming you have tried UK/non dispensary edibles then try order some imports from SN2D or just make your own. Majority of uk edibles contain no thc. Check on wedinos if you don’t believe me, also check the reviews on most of the edibles on here they usually say light buzz or no effect…
