THC itself has a very short shelf life.

Perhaps you'd like to read This Article on THC Storage in Fat Cells and try again.

Brilliant! So, non-smoking rats given extraordinary amounts of THC through injection and forced into a state of lipolysis through starvation after 7-10 days of said extreme injection indicate SOME level of THC returning to the bloodstream.

The best part? The cited article concludes that this may not happen to humans and requires additional studies.

Also, pot smokers typically don’t force themselves into lipolysis through starvation. I don’t know what the opposite is, but it’s done through Cheetos.

My mistake was not providing enough qualification to my statement. What I should have said was “The psychotic properties of THC itself has a very short shelf life.” The article indicates the peak in those poor, now decapatated, rats was around 8 minutes.

That’s a pretty informative article you found, I like it.

Interesting! But the article says that under ordinary circumstances any stored THC re-enters the bloodstream only very slowly - and that even if lipolysis accelerates that, there is currently no evidence for any functional effects.
