so what's with all these people saying you cant get high from leaves? or unless its cooked?

[msongs]

decades ago when I imbibed we used to get leaves only. buds were unheard of. leaves got one plenty buzzed even using that weaker stuff that was around then. and crunching up dried leaves into food items also worked. of course we made cookies which would put your lights out lol and those were baked. still I dont get all these people who turn their noses up at plain old pot leaves.

1. Pot snobs. Wine snobs, coffee snobs, burger snobs, beer snobs-- you know there's gotta be pot snobs.

2. Back in my hippie days in the 60s and 70s all we EVER had was leaves. It was oh so mellow,

and gave you a gentle high. Haven't indulged in 40+ years, though, so I can't form an opinion on buds.

6. since im in legal land I have tossed out a lot of leaves....

..but I'm your age and I never saw buds in the ol days!

7. I don't know if you know this but the Cannabis

of today is said to be 3 times stronger than the weed of the 1970s. While staying with a friend at a ski resort, one of the ski patrol used to get high with us. He complained that back in the day they smoked leaves, sticks and even seeds. It was the seeds that gave him a ragging headache! I have tried smoking some leaves, but it does nothing like the bud does...and with adding some tincture or Cannabis oil onto the dried Bud makes it way more enjoyable.

3. We use all of our leaf trim

To make hash/wax/shatter/food grade oil. Anything with just a little sugar on it can be used

4. Back in the day, we smoked the leaves because the buds were mostly seeds.

Now, no stems, no seeds.

5. Once you've partaken of the bud, whether in Jamaica or Thailand or California, you'll never go back.

Has nothing to do with snobbery. Just a scientific fact.
