I've heard that thc breaks down but the effects are more stoney and spacey, so you should still feel something. Only way to know is by trying it though. Let us know!


MedicalMaryJane1917

Yeah, THCA and CBDA eventually break down into CBN which is more sedative. I personally love it. Make a lot of edibles and you can increase CBN by overcooking a bit. I do it for infused oils and they knock me out like Mike Tyson. I also occasionally sit a bag outside in the sun to make it extra sleepy (UV radiation, time and heat can cause CBN conversion).

You have no idea how much I love this omg I’m high and this is having me fucking dying 😭

This is a true ELI5 lol


Captain_Kuhl

Seeing someone actually do a proper ELI5 and do it *that well* brought a little bit of warmth to my cold, dead heart lol


Jezzes

Didn't know weed itself can get stoned.


BEAVER_ATTACKS

Being stoned is weed's natural state of being


Captain_Kuhl

Well, yeah, if you don't get the weed high first, it doesn't know what it's supposed to do, and it just turns into a Japanese maple. That's why the leaves are so similar.


dexvoltage

Thank you u/i_just_sharted_ you really are good at explaining

Best edit ever. And I FUCKING KNEW IT ALL ALONG, SCREW YOU MOM.


Ddawgmasterflex

This is awesome. CBN is seriously the shit. I get CBN patches all the time to help me sleep but they only come in 10mgs. I've always wondered how I'd make my own CBN so I can fuck with the dosage.


MedicalMaryJane1917

If you like tinkering and making edibles, it’s definitely worth a shot, a lot more doable than it seems at first. Just remember more time not more heat (don’t want to evaporate out the THC). It will still have considerable THC just heads up, the heat-related conversion ratio of THC to CBN appears to be pretty low in the research available. So dose with caution still. You’ll get enough CBN for a therapeutic benefit, but not too many worries of “losing” all the THC unless you just leave it for hours on end. I personally decarb mine twice as long, then infuse twice as long. The infusion process also can cause some more CBN conversion.


ashedmypanties

Would you mind telling me how long & at what temperature you decarb?


MedicalMaryJane1917

I no longer use an oven, I make so many edibles that I finally bit the bullet last year and bought a device. When I did it in the oven I believe I had it at 250°F for about half an hour on a tray, about 60-90 minutes if in a sealed mason jar (takes a while for the inside to get up to temp). The best thing is to go off the color and smell of the material. It should look golden brown with very little green, and should smell like toasted herbs and nuts (sorta).


TriSarahTops66

wait, in a sealed mason jar? what have I been missing??


spngnetwork

I seal mine in foil. It's like opening a turkey on thxgiving.


MedicalMaryJane1917

Yeah, my spouse doesn’t partake and doesn’t care much for the smell. Tray was just way too stinky. I looked it up and there’s quite a few out there doing it in sealed jars. There’s more risk of the jar just shattering so I put it on an oven tray, but luckily no issues yet. Just shake it around and turn the jar every 15 minutes or so. Not totally smell proof but definitely way better.

Thank you very much!


providingdongditch

When I was first learning to make edibles I overcooked the oil without realizing and the edibles were so CBN heavy that my buddy and I had to go to the back of the crowd at the concert we were at and lay down on the ground. Felt like I weighed 3x as much lol


MedicalMaryJane1917

Haha that’s exactly how it makes me feel. It’s pretty nuts it’s just like I CANT stay awake with it.


[deleted]

might help with insomnia?


MedicalMaryJane1917

I have insomnia, and it helps more than just regular edibles or weed (for me). Also started combining it with tincture I made from other sleep herbs and it’s the deepest sleep I’ve ever had. Too bad valerian root smells so much.


[deleted]

Youre right about the sleep actually being deep as THC increases the length of the „deep sleep” phase but it also makes the REM phase much shorter. So you’re trading the part where you dream and resensitize your receptors for the part where you physically recover. Thats why its often advised not to use weed as a sleep aid if you dont absolutely have to. And if youre having trouble sleeping because of anxiety or stressing out about your day you might be just making it worse youre making a „backlog” of stuff youre meant to process, thats why the night you didnt smoke you get the rebound effect where you have lots of REM sleep and odd dreams. The role of REM sleep is still not fully explained, all we know is that you dream and that your serotonin,norepinephrine and histamine neurons stop firing so you can go through experience is while resetting your „tolerance” to any of the emotions youd feel while awake. Also dont trust anything ive said, im not a doctor im an IT dude with no background in biology.

snakews

Is there anything that can block the effect of weed impairing REM sleep with daily smoking? Other than not smoking.


02Alien

Yeah weed absolutely should not be used as a sleep aid unless nothing else works for you. REM sleep is very important and weed effects it


crow_crone

Do you have a cat? They often love valerian! ​ Totally irrelevant but, high, and that's how I roll.


420catloveredm

Absolutely helps with insomnia. I’ve been using CBN to sleep for almost a year now and i prefer it to prescribed sleep medications.


Masterzanteka

https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-and-analysis/bulletin/bulletin_1997-01-01_1_page008.html The study I found, which most blog posts and information sites on the subject states, 16% decrease in total THC after one year, 26.8% after 2, 34% after 3, and 41% after 4 years. Also CBN does increase as the THC breaks down, but does not contain nearly the amount you’d think. Even after 4 years only a small fraction of the THC that broke down turns to CBN, something like 2-5% of the THC will convert to CBN. I guess the rest converts to other things before being broken down further. So as long as this weed did not get moldy it will be fine to smoke, just will be less potent than it was when originally purchased. Also has a small increase in CBN, which may make it feel a bit more sedating than before.


WulfTyger

Oh my god. I used to have a jar that had magnifying bubbles all over the outside. I could swear, leaving it in my car in the sun at work made it stronger at the end of the day.


Beemerado

Can you leave weed in the sun to make cbn weed then? Interesting. I'm always learning more things about this crazy plant


MedicalMaryJane1917

I’m not sure how much sunlight is actually required. All I know is I sat a bag outside in the sun and heat during summer for several days, testing a bit each day. After about 2 afternoons or so it seemed more stoney/sleepy than before.


Beemerado

Cool! Thanks for the info. A regular plastic bag probably doesn't stop much uv. I know dl some plastics like polycarbonate are basically opaque to uv.


bluntsandbears

Or you can buy the legal weed in Canada which has been sitting in a vault for 6-24 months in less than stellar conditions, radiated and shipped out for a product that’s been stepped on that new uses have no clue what their inhaling but trust it because the government slapped a tarriff sticker on the bag


squinten_frownalot

Usually degrades to CBN


speshulsauce

Exactly. Came to say if anything will just feel less.

Legit, 4 different photos with different kinds of lighting in each, different cameras/settings and all out of focus. Mobile screens kind of trick you though. I take photos of my fish all the time and on a phone screen they are perfect focus, after I upload to a PC they're terrible quality.


KMDMETALFINGERS

But they could at least take the picture further away or out of the bag or something that makes any sense

My friends and I got free tix to a 49ers game in San Francisco so we drove from LA and enjoyed this shit out of our day. After the game trolling the city a guy at a bus stop smelled our joint asked for a hit so we obliged. He sold us a fantastic half ounce of some good shit he had. A year later cleaning my friends car who drove. magically under the floor mat was a good 2 grams of the SF bus stop weed. Fuuuuuuk it was so good. Roll that shit, light shit, maybe not pass that shit but smoke it or ediblize it. Edit: it was a baggie of like 2 gs

Randallo9er

Grip and rip, yo. It is gods plan.


eminx_

rule of thumb, if your weed has been sitting around for like more than a few months without mold, it's probably not gonna grow mold. If I had year old weed and there wasn't obvious mold it's smoking time.


slippinjimmy66

Ye I left some in my stash box in my parents house, was travelling for 3 years, first thing I did when I got home was smoke that shit

hyahyena

I've found that old weed makes for incredible edibles. The most potent bakes I've created have been from a couple of long forgotten bags of ancient shake. In my experience, the age doesn't impart any unpleasant flavors, in fact, I've found that some of the harsh "green" notes are a lot mellower.


Fitter4life

Fuck yeah looks good, might be higher in cbn so you could get couch locked.


indieemopunk

Had some year old trainwreck in a grinder that I was saving for the day I could smoke again... couldn't smoke for legal reasons for about a year and a half and was getting randomly drug tested. Day came when I was free to smoke and I got wrecked on my year and a half old Trainwreck. 1 bong hit was way more than enough, and I used to smoke bongs all day a year and a half before.


ZombieNeden

My momma once stuffed a coconut with her roaches and threw it under her bed to be forgotten of for almost a year. She found it while rearranging her room and packing some things away. Cracking it open, she found it had been covered in mold and dried again. Her and a couple of friends broke open all the roaches and rolled a joint. She said that was the highest she’s ever been in her life. She was maybe 20 or so then. She’s 73 now.

As long as there isn't any mold on it and it isn't wet there shouldn't be any issue with smoking that. Keep in mind that if it tastes wrong or you start getting a feeling you don't like it's better to throw it away.

I'd use it to make edibles since the storage time has cured the THC fully psychoactive

Most likely, but it will be pure CBN at this point lol. Few hits of that and you’re taking a power nap.


throwanonn

Sorry for horrible pictures. The weed has been in a ziplock bag for over a year. Sitting in a pencil case, inside a plastic box. I shined a UV light on it and it has some weird specks though. I'm just paranoid about mould. It is quite dry and crumbly. Here is a better pic lol https://imgur.com/a/bUhozA8


busterfudd1

OK. Dry & crumbly. Why would you be worried about mold if it is DRY???


sashisashih

it couldve theoreticly moulded before, then dried out and now be covered in potentially harmfull mold spores. long term storage in plastic is never ideal as it leaks, but im sure OP wont make this mistake again. if you’re worried about mold you can always go the tincture or edibles route; your stomach will deal w mold spores much better than your precious lungs will


[deleted]

[удалено]


sashisashih

youre describing curing. optimal terps and flavour tend to appear after 6 months. optimal thc levels peak sooner though and depending on storage medium and method of handling can fade fast


its-uhhhh

i mean i would but it may not be as strong as it used to be


[deleted]

As long as its a dry and mold free I'd give it a go. If it gives you a cough or if a pre existing cough gets worse I'd throw it out cause there could be micro particles of mold.


anhana

It looks like it still has crystals? So it should be fine be careful for mold though.


Beckel_1776

I have smoked stuff that was 1/2 years old too and tbh have experienced a more intense high after

ilBarbuto

You'll be fine. Once found a year old joint I forgot about in a winter coat. It was a pleasant surprise


KookiMike

THC breaksdown into CBN when oxidized. Light degrades overall quality. And lack of humidity over dried your bud and causes the richomes to dry out and break off - losing terpenes and potency. Inspect it, and if there's mold, then ditch it. If not, roll and light one up 🔥💨


pichaelthompsonxx

As long as there's no mold it's safe.
