I've been doing some tests recently and wondered if any other members might be able to contribute?
Simply put, I've been experimenting with eating different types and amounts of food (before and after taking the capsules) to see if and how the 'high' could be prolonged or enhanced.
Interestingly, the most measurable success I've had has flown in the face of conventional wisdom, i.e. 'you should take them on an empty stomach'.
I've run the same iteration of a particular test four times now, using myself and various friends as 'guinea pigs', and every time the result has been dramatic.
We used identical capsules all made from the same batch, first on empty stomachs at 4pm (having only eaten breakfast) and measured the results (duration, strength, effects etc), then a week later (to allow tolerance to return to a baseline), took the same dose again at 4pm, but this time after all having a large lunch (between 12 and 1pm).
On each occasion (and unanimously), the effects, strength and duration of the 'high' was increased by a considerable margin.
So far, all our experiments support that eating a decent sized meal around three hours
before taking the capsules significantly increases the potency of the results.
I think it must be related to the fact that the digestive system has already prepared enzymes for the intravenous absorption of the first meal, and therefore this allows greater bio-availability of the THC. Combine that with the conversion of the THC into Delta 9 THC (a stronger version) via the 'first pass' through the liver, and the overall potency is significantly higher.
If anyone out there wants to give it a try, I'd be very keen to hear how you get on.
Ideally, you should use capsules from an identical batch, and try first on an empty stomach, and then a week, or at least a few days later (to give your metabolism a chance to reset), try again three hours after eating a meal and measure the difference in results. Post back with your observations.
Hey, and remember we're advancing medical science here, one day there may even be a statue named after us lol
