Do Your Roaches Have More THC? By Dr. Hornby

My dealer smokes primarily roaches. When we have a tough week, he sells his roaches to us for like 5 bucks a quarter. Tastes nasty but it does the trick.

my buddy once told me he smoked a fourth generation roach joint!! must have taken some serious time and effort to collect roaches for that long! i for one do not have the patience/interest to do that but im sure it would get you stony as helllll

I had a buddy who would save 'em all up then put 'em in an old 35mm film container then he would pour in some green oil, break up some hash in there mix it all up and then he would let it sit somewhere warm for a month...turned into this gooey cylinder of disgusting looking stuff.....But when we smoked it it tasted pretty good and we were always ripped off it it.

smoking a joint also causes a kind of extraction process, where the THC glands are melted and filter down to the bit that remains as a roach..., that is the whole point to keeping a roach.

Don't be kak, be lekker is one rule that is hard to follow with a roach.

Some confusion exists over what happens to THC in cannabis smoked in cigarettes.
That is, what's left behind in the so called "roaches".

A long time ago i asked myself this question with the initial hypothesis that all of the THC would be gone from the roach. I presumed this would occur since the THC would be heated from the upper part of the burning cigarette, making it volatile and sending it from the un-burnt cannabis further up the cigarette.

To test this i first ran a sample of cannabis on the HPLC by the usual methodology
and determined the THC concentration. Then a sample from the same batch of cannabis was rolled and smoked in a cigarette, saving the last, roughly 1 cm (0.3 gm). This "roach" was then prepped and run on the HPLC by, once again the same methodology, and the two samples compared.

Surprisingly, the "roach" sample was 5-10 mg/gram higher than the original sample.
How could this be?
Well if you think of it, why not? The resin will accumulate at the butt of the cigarette,and it would have to reach temperatures near 200 degrees C (almost 400 degrees F) to boil off. As one pulls on the cigarette the resin oils are physically pulled back and accumulate in the cooler, butt, slightly increasing the amount of THC.

The THC, in the "roach", is for the most part activated, or decarboxylated, such that it can bind the THC receptor.
So one suggestion, would be to eat your roaches…

Take a roach and blend it with fresh tree for the first half of your joint and put fresh herb near the mouthpiece so it is less likely to bleed resin. My girlfriend fiends for roaches lol the high is strong af!
