Quick cannabis question

[rothmandrew]

So without actually having a cannabis side to this board, I am going to be a bit presumptous and ask a potentially silly question.

Last night, I opened the washing machine to find that my recent purchase of weed - 1/8 ounce, had gone through the entire cycle: wash, rinse, spin, etc etc.

It was contained in a little dip container but of course, it was soaked all the way through.

I put it out onto a paper towel to dry over night adn it seems pretty dry now, but all the nice crystals that ser stuck to it are gone, not to mention it;s general stickiness.

I'm assuming it's toast?

Am i right?
Is is still worth it to smoke or has all the THC been shouted out?

[ZodiacKiller]

Well, if it were me, I certainly wouldn't toss it. I'm sure there is at least some THC content remaining. Smoke some and report back, if'n ya don't mind. Since my area is dry as a bone, I'd enjoy reading about getting high on weed at least....

Good luck. Oh, and check your pockets next time you do wash, ya stoner.......:cool:


ZK

[rothmandrew]

i'm usually pretty good abut emptying my pockets before doing wash - except when i'm stoned.....


Last night, it would not have done any good to smoke it and find out as i was way-way-waysted

but before i go drop a pile on a new bag, i just wanted to find out what i'm in for

i will try it and let you know

thanx

[Dan Steely]

It will probably work just fine once it's dried out unless you are one of those chronic types that needs the dankest of dank to catch a buzz. I only smoke weed once a day and because of that I can get ripped from just about anything. An eigth(sp?) of good weed lasts me at least a couple weeks.

Thc isn't water soluble. I can't say much about the detergent though. You might be ok if it just got wet.

[jonny-5]

just smoke it and let us know, its definitely not gonna hurt you. the heat from the dryer MAY have released some of the THC but this is an interesting question, and i would really like to know if the weed is still good. please do let us know.

[Mustelid]

I'd suggest putting it in boiling water with butter in it, boil for a few hours. Let it cool, scrape the butter from the top, toss the water.

Use the butter in cooking.

This will keep you from smoking detergent and perfume leftovers, while extracting all the surviving THC.

[Scagermeister]

My buddy did this before. He called me up because he just got a bag and wanted to smoke up. So I go over there expecting to catch a buzz, only to search for his stash for 20 minutes.

He caught it mid-cycle, but it was still soaked all the way through. Point being, the weed still worked.

Im guessing all the trichomes were washed off, but the plant material still contains THC, so you should still be good.

[rothmandrew]

REPORT:
So the weed was still a tad damp, but not sticky damp, ya know?

It took a more patient flame to get lit but it did burn.

The main problem was the taste!

It tasted like I was smoking fucking tide. Not the best of tastes, I'll tell you what.

And the strength seemed lower. The stuff I get usually is covered in nice tiny THC crystals but they were all washed away so the usual double whammy of THC crystals plus the THC in the weed was kind of cut in half and to be honest, I really didn't have the stomach to smoke enough to compensate for the lost crystals seeing as how every puff tasted like detergent.

Oh well - my guy is hooking me up today with fresh so no worries.

Thanks for the input.

Yea, I smoked weed, that has gone though the wash, it tasted shitty, got me a little high, unless your really desperate for weed don't smoke it, with the soap and water it really taints the weed.

[savethedogs]

Umm... are you guys serious? Isn't the main goal of this forum "harm reduction?" Why on EARTH would you tell this guy to smoke weed that went through a FULL clothes washing cycle? Um, let's see, is it safe to inhale the fumes of ANYTHINg that has been soaked and battered around thoroughly in a solution of god-only-knows what chemicals? Hmm... maybe you should try smoking your shirts too, there might be some loose THC lodged in the fibers!

I'm sure some of you might try to defend yourselves by saying "If it went through a full cycle it was RINSED at the end." Well, true, it was "rinsed"... let's just all hope and pray he didn't use fabric softener since you didn't bother to ask if he did BEFORE you told him to smoke it.

If this "experiment" in idiocy is really worth the fact that this guy might be doing irreprehensible damage to his lungs, shouldn't you at least WARN him of the possible consequences? Wow, this is truly disgusting IMO...

To the OP, use your freakin' brain before you ask such a stupid question next time... some people don't care how bad you hurt yourself as long as they can get a laugh out of the whole ordeal. And you can bet they're all laughing REAL hard now...

Calm down man. Compared to the everyday stuff here, this is nothing.
It just went through the wash.

This is "nothing" to you? Thank god he appears to be OK, but what if he would have inhaled a nice big lungful of piping hot Clorox molecules that left him with a case of irreversible chronic pnuemonia? Nobody cared about or even mentioned the possible SERIOUS consequences doing this COULD have had on this person... with "harm reduction" in mind, how could any of you tell him to do anything BUT throw that shit in the garbage? One thing that was established from the beginning was that the weed was useless for a high anyway...

I'd say this is pretty serious compared to the everyday discussion here. I can honestly say I've never seen anybody here asking something akin to "Hey guys, I'm out of rigs but I found one in the trash of a public restroom and I just washed it out with soap, should I use it?" What's more, I've never seen anybody respond by saying "Yeah man, USE IT!!!!"

get my point?

[chopstix]

Calm down man.

If you've smoked any significant amount of weed, I can guarantee you that adding a little tide and then rinsing it off pales in comparison to the rest of the chemicals and by-products you've inhaled.

[HMMM...]

I use Tide when my weed stinks really bad..... :p I know...lame joke.

[savethedogs]

Calm down man.

If you've smoked any significant amount of weed, I can guarantee you that adding a little tide and then rinsing it off pales in comparison to the rest of the chemicals and by-products you've inhaled.

I used to smoke weed everyday for years... and yes I know I've inhaled my share of nasty chemicals... but I can say I was never encouraged to do so by people who were supposedly there to PREVENT me from harming myself...

And I'm not talking about "a little tide" added and rinsed off, I'm talking about Clorox and/or other seriously harmful chemicals this guy could have smoked and totally screwed himself over with because nobody even bothered to ask about the specifics of the wash, but more importantly, nobody gave him the good advice to "just throw it away."

If the point of smoking weed is to get high, and it was established that the weed would be useless for that purpose, why tell him to smoke it anyway in lieu of the potential serious side-effects? You guys are right about one thing, the odds were with him on this one, but still... to me, something just doesn't seem right about encouraging this guy (who is obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed) to smoke weed that has been contaminated with chemicals unknown.

And please stop telling me to calm down, I'm not freaking out or anything... it's not MY lungs that are on the line here. I just do not like seeing this kind of advice given to a newbie on a forum where harm reduction is supposed to be every members' first and foremost obligation... that's all...

haah.... this reminds me of my buddy back in the day when he had to pass a drug test for prob.

At the time we were pretty young, around 15, so we were pretty naive. Well he was and still to this day

is the biggest pothead I know. So he had a bright idea to take a shot of bleach, guess he heard that

would work from some smuck. Anyways, it was priceless seeing his reaction and then the aftermath of

his stunt. Thats a chemical that you dont fuck with:)

A quick inventory of the tools and content in this thread, I'm not so sure you're in much of a position to judge..


And please stop telling me to calm down

Calm down, the guy smoked some perfume and low content weed last fucking month - BFD.. If you wanna preach harm reduction, go hit up the H or pharms forums..

[Nate]

Smoke the weed, I have smoked way worse, you have no idea.

[Raz]

I remember back in the day my ol gran used to say "dont worry boy, it will all come out in the wash",,,
Guess in this instance it really did, all the THC that is....:rolleyes:

[marshalldylan1]

There is a thread on another forum about a guy who smoked weed laced with mothballs.

His dealer put them in the bag to cover up the smell.

[SHELLEY]

been there, done that, smoked it anyway...

lay it on a paper towel overnight
then smoke it the next morning
works every time, hell if you used bleach in the machine you'll get even higher

I dont think I've ever known a guy to use anything but detergent, all those fancy things like fabric softener, bleach, special smelling stuff - nah. I'll bet he just used some detergent basically soap.... to the OP am I right? That is why I personally don't think there is much of a harm reduction issue on this one.

just my humble opinion based on the way I've seen guys do wash.

By the way....besides emptying your pockets, don't mix your your colors in with white (in case you're even THINKING about it!) So "get sorted" is the motto when you do wash!

I've known of alot of people to try this trick. They claim it works but they puke for hours.

[dharma bum]

yeah i would say its not anything that toxic.....

savethedogs, this is a site about harm reduction but the guy asked us all our opinions. one guy said

butter. others say smoke it. you say don't.....oh, one more thing........calm down.

[poonwhalla]

For Christs sake I don't think a little soap is going to do much damage if smoked with weed. Now if you made butter with it you may be shitting your brains out after since soap makes you shit if you ingest it. Then again it may help you just take a shit if you are on lots of opi's

[SurfRat]

I'd suggest putting it in boiling water with butter in it, boil for a few hours. Let it cool, scrape the butter from the top, toss the water.

Use the butter in cooking.

I agree. If you want to *save* the weed/THC then make butter out of it. This will help remove anything that isn't fat soluble.

you sound like my mama :)
fyi, i've been doing my own laundry since i was about 13yrs old now
but i have never ONCE seperated my clothes before washing
i just throw all the dirty stuff in there at once
and i have never "ruined" any clothes, never had anything "bleed" on anything else, nothin!
i just wash everything with cold water, it all gets clean the same

i think it's funny cuz so many people are so careful with their laundry and still screw stuff up
the only rule i follow, is that certain shit doesn't go in the dryer, gets hung up instead

Hhahaha smoke your shirts haha that was a great line.

I have to agree with this guy. No way would I smoke some shit that went through the fuckin washer. Charge it to the game and buy another 8th.

[dharma bum]

I have to agree with this guy.

You don't wanna agree with this guy man.

[soulman]

The weed should still get you high, the crystals are formed because the weed is so full of THC it actually cannot all be contained in the bud itself and therefore comes out it's "pores " basically. So even though you may have washed off the excess on the outside of the bud the inside is still full!!! Oh, and by the way, I highly doubt that a little soap that has been washed off already is gonna seriously injure anyone!!!

[rothmandrew]

hey

so it;s been a while since i logged on and found all of this

so the skinny is this

i dried it out on paper towels for a couple fo days
then tired it in a bowl

it tasted foul
i caught a small buzz
but i only had one puff
but the truth is, the taste scared me
i really could taste the detergent.
one puff was enough for me

i tossed it
thanks for all the replies and the concern though everyone!

it was only about 1/16 so no big deal.

but yes, i do like my bud to be of only the finest, dankest, quality

[Consumed.]

damn he really needs to calm down, we all know how many dealers spray shit way worse that what some bud going through a wash cycle would do. Fuckin bug spray to fuck you up more and let it dry a little bit to get some more weight out of it. Unless you know who's home growing it, your taking a lot more chances of smoking shit worse than some detergent that got rinsed anyway. God damn raid is favorite of cheap NY brick weed dealers....

So slow ya roll bra

[Consumed.]

A good analogy is those who post bullshit on the board just to get the "weight" of their bag of weed (or post filled bag). Lots of fluff with no quality!
