Budder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Budder is a concentrated form of THC, the main psychoactive chemical in cannabis (marijuana).

[edit] Comparison with Other Cannabis-Related Drugs

Budder is reported as being the purest cannabis product available, at anywhere between 82% and 99.6% THC/CBN/CBD[1], making it several times more potent than the buds of the cannabis plant that are usually consumed (5%–15%). One hit of Budder is supposedly equal to 1 – 2 full cannabis joints. Also the high is reported as being more clear and longer lasting than "average" marijuana.

[edit] Method of Use

Inhalation is the primary method of consumption, and is performed by first heating a piece of metal with a propane torch, or with a budder-kit which consists of a butane torch with a small strip of metal attached and designed to be heated when the lighter is lit. A minuscule amount (about the size of the head of a pin) of the budder is applied to the heated metal. This will result in gaseous THC and other cannabinoids being released, which can then be inhaled. You can also use charcoal (found at most middle eastern stores used for hookahs). You use a pin/dentist tool(found at hardware stores) to scoop the budder and drop onto the coal. You can use a plastic pop bottle with the bottom cut off as your hooters.[clarify]

[edit] Effects

The effects of budder are reasonably fast-acting and long-lasting, and similar to the effects of smoking cannabis. Initially, the user may experience a sharp increase in body temperature and heart rate. The user will then enter a mellow and soft state of mind for several hours, whose effects can include but are not limited to:

Major effects subside after 3 or 4 hours, depending on dosage and THC tolerance of the user. Some effects can still be felt after 8 hours, and in some cases users can feel "burned out" the next day.

Budder is extremely potent and sometimes has a delayed "kick-in" time before it reaches its full effect. The result of this is that users can overconsume and then be overwhelmed by the extreme effect of the drug.

[edit] Method of Creation

Budder is made by whipping in air and freezing isomerizied hash oil. Isomerization is an additional chemical step that converts the delta 9-thc to delta 6-thc activating a lot of the normally non-active cannabinoids[2].
