MMJ: A little TMI

Would you classify weed as an aphrodisiac? I think I know the answer, but conversely, do you feel it contributes to sexual dysfunction? - Natty Nice

This is the first I have heard of weed being the cause of sexual dysfunction. Most folks say that cannabis makes sex a little more (or even a lot more) fun. Hell, you can find cannabis-infused lubes in your local dispensary.

Studies show that folks who smoke weed every day have more sex than folks that don’t smoke weed at all, so I would say that while whiskey dick is real, weed dick is not.

Some studies show that dudes who smoke a lot of weed may experience difficulties in reaching orgasm. But I’m guessing that for some of y’all, being able to last a little longer is most likely a bonus.

Have you ever heard of people making cannabutter from stems, or should I just do the whole flower? I’ve never done it and I’ve heard some friends say do one or the other. What should I do? - Twiggy

Why in the world would you make butter with sticks and stems if you have weed in your vicinity? Sticks and stems do contain THC, but it in very very small amounts. You would need all the stems from a whole tree just to create a decent butter. Plus you have to break the stems down, and it’s a pain.

If you really want to find something to do with your leftover sticks and whatnot, you can use them in an alcohol-based tincture (soak them in a vat full of grain alcohol for a few weeks) or use them in your stovetop smoker to make a nice weed-smoked duck breast. The smoke won’t really add any THC, but you will get a nice hint of whatever strain you use.

Does eating vaped weed get you high because it’s already been de-carbed? - Ben

What? Are you just eating your leftover weed? Even if the cops aren’t knocking on the door? Weirdo. I mean, weed that has been vaped does still have some THC left, but probably not enough to get you high if you ate it. You would have to eat a lot of it. Like a whole lot of it. Like, so much you would probably get sick before you got high. You would be better served by making a cannabis-infused butter or oil rather than just chomping a handful of buds. Good luck.
