Drinking weed
The active ingredient in marijuana is THC which is not a water-soluble compound. It may be extracted using alcohol or fat and added to foodstuff entering the system through the digestive tract rather than through the lungs. This type of consumption of marijuana tends to be both slower and more efficient than smoking it. Further the unpleasant effects of consuming heated smoke are completely eliminated. For these reasons this is the favored method of marijuana consumption by many people.
The highest proof alcohol available should be used. One may simply place the marijuana into a bottle of grain alcohol and let the canabanoids leach out, this takes 2-3 weeks of time. The resulting tincture, often called "Green Dragon", is a light to emerald green liquid, which can be drunk straight, but this is not recommended. You could try a drink of 3 parts lemon lime soda, 1 part green dragon and a dollop of honey, served over ice.
Here is another recipe that uses bud butter and vodka
Hot buttered Bhang "In a saucepan, melt half a cube (1/8 pound) of butter or ghee. Crumble a good handful of marijuana tops or leaves (use your own judgement). Stir the grass into the molten butter. Continue stirring over medium heat for one minute. While it is hot or sizzling, add 8 ounces of vodka. Be cautious that the hot butter does not make the mixture spatter. It is best to pour in the vodka swiftly. Continue to boil for 30 seconds or more, stirring all the while. A pinch or two of powdered cardamom seed may be added during the boiling After boiling as much as desired, strain the liquids. Press the mash in a strainer with the back of a spoon to remove all the juices. Discard mash or boil it again in fresh vodka to salvage more materials. Sweeten to taste with honey if wanted. Pour the liquid into 4-ounce wine glasses. . . . Serves two. This recipe is not only an efficient method of extracting the active principles from marijuana, and an excellent medium for assimilation (alcohol, butter and honey), but it also has a delicious and satisfying flavor. It is reminiscent of hot chocolate, but is much more pleasant to drink. It is one of the most swiftly absorbed cannabis concoctions. The effects of the grass may be felt in less than fifteen minutes. Cheers!
If you've never been stoned before, its safer to first experience being high through smoking marijuana, rather than drinking too much of it (which will probably scare you) or too little (which is a pity). Smoking is faster, so it's easy to stop when you've had enough. Some people find the effects of alcohol counteract the effects of THC.
