Comment on Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana?
Riccosuave@lemmy.world 2 months agoWhich still makes no fucking sense considering that you do not “make” Cannabis. It is naturally occurring plant-life. There is an ADDITIONAL chemical process that is necessary to turn fruit into alcohol. While that fermentation process can occur without human intervention, it is still an additional process that is not fundamentally necessary for Cannabis to become intoxicating…

Ah, you're going for the technically correct. So, how does it work out for you, smoking fresh cannabis flowers? Also, fermenting sugars is not a chemical process, but a biological process (just being nitpicky).

The main reason you would not smoke undried Cannabis is because it does not ignite. It certainly can be done though. Generally I would suggest using a vaporizer though in that instance. The other reason is that the drying process causes the further oxidation of the trichome heads which increases the ratio of CBN to THC leading to a more balanced effect.

If you’re going to be pedantic, at least be accurate. It certainly is a chemical process. That process is facilitated by biological organisms, and would therefore more aptly be called a biochemical process I suppose. Anyways, as riveting as this exchange has been, I think I’ve made my points effectively. Hopefully I have been able to shed some light on some layman’s Cannabis science. If you have any further questions feel free to ask. Always happy to help educate 👍

You know what, you're right, it is time to end this discussion. Have a nice weekend and don't smoke too much weed, or drink too much alcohol.

Ironically I do neither anymore, but thank you. You as well!
