As in been given a needle containing “liquified weed” being inserted intravenously into one’s blood stream, but would that alone really make him or her high? Since smoking it emits an odor like how cigarettes smell bad, however injecting a substance directly into one’s blood stream (putting it inside you literally) is not the same as smoking or vaping (as those are external).

Also, how will one’s blood react to a foreign substance lurking inside? To put it into perspective, there was a story in China where a woman literally injected fruit juice (instead of drinking it) into her veins via an IV, she was hospitalized for that. So… how would one’s body react to weed flowing through their blood? Will that really kill the stoner or send them to the ER right away?

      To explain: weed needs to be converted into a form your body can use to get high. In flower and concentrates, those compounds are expressed by heating to combustion temp. In edibles, the conversion is done during the cooking process. You’d be putting something that needs to be BURNED into your 98.6° system. All its going to do is sit in your bloodstream like a solid lump of tar, block shit, and cause an infection.

      Like expecting your Lambo’s engine to be fine just pouring heavy crude into it.

    Even if that WAS a thing, there’s no way in hell I’d ever try it.

    For me, if there’s needles involved, you’re WELL past the point of pretending you don’t have a problem.
