I see alot of folks say yes. Not disagreeing but I have a couple questions. One of the original posters back in 2012 made a good point imo. If you cant get high from eating a raw bud then how from dermal contact? My question is those guys in the mountains that go around rubbing colas making Chiras i think sorry if i hacked that but their hands are covered, they must be fd but why did they ever bother to peel it off and smoke if stoned from the rubbing?

Marijuana produces THCA, an acid with the carboxylic group (COOH) attached. In its acid form, THC is not very active. It is only when the carboxyl group is removed that THC becomes psychoactive. When marijuana is smoked, the THC behind the hot spot is vaporized as the hot air from the burn is drawn through the joint or pipe bowl to the unburned material. The liquid THC and other cannabinoids have a boiling point of between 180-200° C (355-392° F). Before they turn gaseous, at around 106° C (220° F), the carboxyl group is released from the molecule as carbon dioxide and water vapor.

In other words, you cannot get high from eating raw weed, or rubbing it on your skin... it's all in your mind.. a placebo effect.
