so what's with all these people saying you cant get high from leaves? or unless its cooked?

decades ago when I imbibed we used to get leaves only. buds were unheard of. leaves got one plenty buzzed even using that weaker stuff that was around then. and crunching up dried leaves into food items also worked. of course we made cookies which would put your lights out lol and those were baked. still I dont get all these people who turn their noses up at plain old pot leaves.

and gave you a gentle high. Haven't indulged in 40+ years, though, so I can't form an opinion on buds.

of today is said to be 3 times stronger than the weed of the 1970s. While staying with a friend at a ski resort, one of the ski patrol used to get high with us. He complained that back in the day they smoked leaves, sticks and even seeds. It was the seeds that gave him a ragging headache! I have tried smoking some leaves, but it does nothing like the bud does...and with adding some tincture or Cannabis oil onto the dried Bud makes it way more enjoyable.
