So you’re either a serious cannabis cultivator with a side hustle or occasionally grow marijuana in your backyard to get your hands on high-quality and inexpensive weed for a good smoking session.
However, it appears that your current weed stash is running out and so you look at your packet of cannabis seeds or bowl of marijuana stems and start to wonder if you can smoke them. After all, if the buds and flowers can get you buzzed, then should the seeds not have the same effect?
Does this scenario sound familiar to you?
If you have had these thoughts, then you are not alone! Most marijuana consumers at some point in their weed consumption journey start to wonder if it is safe to smoke cannabis seeds.
Smoking cannabis seeds
Technically, you can crush cannabis seeds into a powdered form and try smoking them. However, does that mean you should? The short answer is no.
The long answer is that there is no good reason for you to smoke cannabis seeds unless you are looking forward to getting a headache afterwards.
Marijuana seeds have little to no THC and CBD content which are the chemical compounds in marijuana flowers and buds that are responsible for having a mind-altering effect on you and getting you buzzed. Additionally, cannabis seeds create sharp crackling and popping sounds when they are smoked, which contributes to an incredibly uncomfortable smoking session. Plus, smoking cannabis seeds and stems will be harsh on your lungs and irritate the body’s airways, even if you are a chronic smoker.
Long-term effects of smoking weed seeds are even worse! Marijuana seeds produce carcinogenic chemicals and toxins which can damage your respiratory system.
You can get creative and use your weed seeds in other ways, but smoking them is a bad idea!
What to do with cannabis seeds?
So you’ve talked yourself out of the horrible idea of smoking cannabis seeds and now you’re wondering what to do with them?
Here are a few things that can be done:
Add them to food
Despite being void in THC and CBD content, cannabis seeds are rich in amino acids, potassium, iron, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin A.
You can add them to meals such as salads, pasta, dressings, and oatmeal for a nutty and nutritional crunch!
Consider selling them
If you cannot be bothered to come up with unique and interesting ideas for what to do with your cannabis seeds, then consider selling them to others to make a quick buck.
Just make sure that you have enough information about the seeds you are selling.
Grow a pot plant
The most effective use of cannabis seeds is to grow a pot plant. Even if you are not an expert cannabis cultivator, growing weed does not require you to know rocket science.
You can do it so long as you do your research, are responsible, and put in the due effort.
The bottom line
The bottom line is that it is not a good idea to smoke your weed seeds.
It does not matter how tempted you are or how desperate times may get, there are plenty of other things you can do with them!
Spare yourself the risk of getting a throbbing headache and thank us later!
