Hello,I wanted to show you proof that yes, indeed, one can get high off cannabis fan leaves. Some info about me: I've never been a regular weed smoker because of difficulty of obtaining weed in my area, so whenever I smoke it my tolerance is very low. Because of the cost and difficulty of buying it decided to grow my own indoors plant. My first grow wasn't that impressive, but this first grow showed me that one can get much more from a small plant.

So I am ready to harvest my plant, maybe 10 grams of bud on it. After hanging the trimmed buds for drying I'm left with a bunch of leaves. I was thinking of throwing them out but I consulted the internet first, making hash, making butter, smoking leaves etc. Almost all of advice I read told me to not attempt smoking it, it would be a harsh smoke and just give you a headache, not even a small high. After finding a report of a guy drying leaves and getting very high just from 3 leaves I was motivated to try it out.

So I cut up the leaves and put them under my lamp, after 5 hours they're still moist and mushy, so I do the disrespectful act of putting them in the oven for 6-10 minutes on 90 degrees Celsius with the oven window opened. After taking out the leaves I touch them, and yes, they were brittle and broke on touch, didn't look burned or anything, just greatly reduced in size, tho the small stems I cut up together with the leaves were still moist and full.

Now I just pack a whole bowl in my bong and light it. They burned easily except for the stems, the smoke wasn't too harsh and didn't have much flavor but the smoke from the fully packed and lighted bowl was almost too much for me to not cough. After this I waited for 30 second and wasn't feeling anything much, but it was expected that I would need to smoke large amounts to really feel it. So I rapidly smoked 5 more full bowls and then it hit me. I believe this was a indica plant, and I haven't smoked any indica before, so this feeling I was getting was kinda new. I got the feeling as if my body was asleep but my brain was acting on full force. Major alertness but my reactions slowed greatly. So now I'm very surprised that this worked.

I start to message my buddy about my discovery, but I feel that I can't express anything in big detail, even if my brain is hyperly working.

I started to listen to some Drum and Bass music and the sense of time was lost, a song that was 4 minutes long felt like it was 10 minutes long. I played some video games and even if it all seemed too complicated to process my body was doing all the playing as if automatically. I smoked more bowls but with time in-between them and used my computer for 2 more hours, after this I felt exhausted in mind and body, but once I went into bed my mind was still throwing many thoughts in my head, it was impossible to clear my mind and go to sleep. After a hour of lying in my bed completely still I fall asleep, the next day I woke up fresh and ready for my job interview that day.

All in all I was very surprised that one could get this much effect from fan leaves that don't have any THC dust on them and generally are just very low on THC. It took me about 12 leaves to be very high for the evening, so all the leaves from a plant can last one a good week or more.

Sorry if my text is not understandable because I;m not used to writing huge reports in english, tho I hope this information clears up confusion and helps you in times when buds cant bet accessed :)!
