Even AI don't know, I just asked it. First the thc and cbd molecules are emulsified, essentially breaking them down into smaller molecules that are more easily absorbed. Then the micro particles are coated with "fat globules or water-soluble coatings" to protect them from stomach acids while they are being absorbed. What these coatings are and what fats are used seems to be proprietary info. I would assume they need to use stuff that's GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by the FDA, but hey who knows?

Or, you can just smoke a joint.

A country where the mj is seriously frowned upon.

This seems like a really terrible idea. Just to be the voice of reason.

Anyone get with the THC syrup? My friends rave about consistency of experience and speed of absorption.

Didn’t read rest of pages to see if anyone else suggested that

China and Japan were bad ideas too but I got away with those. This probably falls between the two in terms of sketchitude. Being an older not-poor white guy traveling with a group of similar seems to help quite a bit.

Probably causes anal leakage.

With that type of risk though - it's all good, until it isn't..

[riser4]

That's a no for me dog.

My favorite style of edible. Love love love.

I need to make a trip to Oregon again.

No doubt, and I'm still pondering. But almost 2 weeks in another country with a group I really can't stand (it's my wife's deal), and no alcohol, I need to preserve sanity somehow.

The worst thing that's happened so far was being in Tokyo and realizing I had eaten way too much right about as we reached the craziness of Shibuya and then turning around a couple of minutes later and realizing that the group had left and I was alone and very stoned in a massive crowd in the middle of the night the middle of Tokyo. But it all worked out, eventually.

Um. A no alcohol country? Ya, this just keeps getting worse. They behead people in those kinds of countries. I know you've been pretty good at cheating death, so far. However, don't push your luck. Even cats only get nine lives.

You still in Japan? You know psilocybin mushrooms are legal to purchase there?

Ha, no I quit drinking a couple years ago.

I’m here in the US but Japan was cool and that’s good to know.

Srsly. As an older-ish white guy, I'm not fucking with that kinda risk.

I'd think the less risky approach would be to talk with the local hotel staff and just find some local weed.

Oh, jesus, no f'in way. A small discreet amount carefully hidden (including odors) and giving them absolutely no reason to take a second look at you is the way for sure. I definitely wouldn't take flower.

[m2711c]

you must not be irish… my luck would never hold in any type of situation like that. seriously. thats why i went with a 12 pak o’ UC on my japan trip. (with the ¥300 duty paid!)




fact.

Your risk tolerance is way higher than mine. Good luck.

Fast acting usually means nano-encapsulation of THC.

This is done by mixing non-water sol. THC along with components that are naturally found in the lipid bilayer of most living cells, molecules like DOPC (medium to long chain fatty acids C=14-18 typically), cholestrol, and a surfactant (detergent) that increases miscibility with water, Tween-80 etc. These are typically mixed together under high pressure to make micelles that become smaller and smaller lipid droplets by cycling the process several times.

Nanoencapsulation creates small enough particles ~40-80nm that pass though the the intestinal wall and into the blood stream without needing to be broken down by digestion first, so faster acting affect and a larger percentage delivered to the blood as opposed to being excreted.

I had a Flemish friend in high school who would travel home to Belgium every year. He would get hash and create a pendant out of it and literally wear it as a necklace on his return trips. (I am not advocating this lol!)
