Live Stoner Chat HERE'S Another Dumb THC Question....

[Give Pizza Chants]

SO SAY a guy hasn't smoked pot in 34 years.
Because I haven't.
But it's medical now and I need it and it's legal.
And said guy (me) gets to grow a few medical plants now.

NOW, back in the day our pot was like 3% THC Mexican Brown.
But the stuff I'm fixin to grow has way more THC.

Here's the Dumb Question:

Would the vegetative lower leaf trimmings (gonna scrog) have THC in them at all before bloom?
Was wondering if they would have any medicinal properties to vape while waiting for the big finish.
Like maybe the 3% from the 80's???

Now that's a lot of views and no answers.
So this is a way stupid question or maybe a really good one.

Inquiring minds needs to know.

If there is no visible crystal on it, then i doubt there would be much effect. Still though, underformed popcorn buds taken early with visible crystal will hit you pretty good i bet!! Take thc percentages with a grain of salt as well. I have smoked plenty of 14-20% varieties that have major mental impact compared to the super 25%+ thc strains. There is much more to consider than THC percentages in psychological impact.

I recently perfected my QWET method of extraction to make vape oil. The process of making QWET (supercritical co2 extraction also) strips out most of the natural terpenes. To overcome this shortfall in the process strain specific terpenes are added in at the end. Cannabis derived terpenes are very expensive and I have not used any of them yet. Terpenes derived from other sources are less expensive and are blended to approximate the strain they represent. Not all of the ones I have purchased are good but a couple of them are very good. As it turns out one of them is a sativa strain - Durban Poison The other is an indica Blueberry Kush. Blending the same QWET extraction with each of these terpenes yields a buzz like Durban Poison or Blueberry Kush. So the terpenes are playing a major role in the efficacy of the oil. I really want to try some cannabis derived terpenes .

Thanks for the responses.
You are both gentlemen and scholars.

I need some pain med for my back and the damn doctor won't give me anything but naproxin.
Was hoping for some advance therapy from the Northern Lights, providing I don't fck it up.

Maybe look for a new doctor? I was starting to have liver and kidney problems from all of the NSaids I was taking for my back pain. It was my doctor that recommended giving cannabis a try. Lets just say he did not have to twist my arm. I have had very good pain relief with Moby Dick CBD 1:1 but I am nearly out of it now. I have a Dinamed CBD almost ready to harvest. She is 1:25 so I can blend her with any of my high THC strains to customize my meds. And yes, kidneys and liver doing well after nearly 3 years off the NSaids.

That's good to hear.

My Doctor is a dick. Plus she wouldn't prescribe MJ.
Had to go to a MJ clinic for a referral.
Ever since the "opioid epidemic" they treat us like drug addicts.
I can't get no - satis-fac-tion.

PS
Thanks for not laughing at me.
I ain't smoked pot in a long time but when I did it was like an olympic sporting event.
Back then I just knew it made me feel better.
Wasn't until I was 35 I got diagnosed with anxiety & depression.
It's a long story.
I was raised by wolves.

Depending on your level of injury and degree of pain, smoking canna might only give moderate pain suppression. I know thats the way it is for my upper spinal chord injury. For me true relief didn't come from any individual strain, but instead from the method of injestion changed everything for me. Can you get everclear 150 or 190 proof alcohol? If so, check out Green Dragon Tincture or let me know and i will fire you some links to look at.

Although it is commonly believed that all the thc is in the trichomes, it's likely that thc exists throughout the whole plant in lower concentrations.
I'd certainly try what you are proposing, and report back.
The main issue will be whether the plant is mature enough to produce any thc anywhere in the plant.

A few similar things I do have experience with:
Early harvested weed can be very potent, even before any amber trichomes.
Immature looking, tiny popcorn buds pack a wallop.
Same day as harvest edibles, made with flower dried in a low temp food dehydrator (dry = 20% wet), are about as good as edibles made from properly dried flower.
