it's pronounced Tommaco
Whats the joke?
Those are cannabis plants, not tomatoes. Although botanically speaking cannabis and tomatoes are basically cousins, and have very similar growth requirements. So if you "accidentally" planted cannabis and fed it thinking you planted tomatoes then it would do quite well.
...so ppl gotta try smoking tomatoes?
I think they contain some nicotine, no?
They contain the mildly to moderately toxic alkaloid tomatine lol, you're gonna become a medical case study if you smoke the leaves.
This is from wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt, but you'd have to ingest over half a kilogram to get toxic and not lethal doses so as long as you smoke the tomato leaves in moderation, test away!
Yeah it's not super well researched, but ingestion and inhalation dosages can be extremely different. Hence you'd likely be the subject of a case study as it would be a significant addition to the medical literature on tomatine toxicity in humans.
That's tomacco.
eggplant does. they're cousins of tobacco.
actually, you can cure and boil eggplant foliage to brew a nicotine based pest spray.
though, you're better off using tobacco instead.
While the Joke is that that’s definitely not a tomato plant…
Apparently tomato’s can do something like this if you fertilize with the wrong formula (I.e. high nitrogen).
Tried growing some tomatoes myself for the first time this year… gave em the same fertilizer I was giving everything else, and they exploded with green growth into a giant bush, but never produced a single tomato. A few flowers would bloom, it’d get some small green ones, then they’d just fall right off the bush a day latter.
"Hello, Doctor Greenthumb? Paging Doctor Greenthumb!"
They wrote thar song bilingualy
I wonder if it is biologically possible to grow a cannabis-tomato hybrid. Like a tomacco, but it's actually a cannato.
Cannatoes could be used to make pizza into an edible, which might be too much for mere human minds to comprehend.
I can make pizza into an edible right now just using cannabutter with the pizza crust.
Putting cannabutter in pizza is insidious, imagine eating pizza because you got the munchies, which then gives you the munchies again.
Dude, shut up and pass the bong.
so you can make tomacco because the roots are what make the nicotine. swap the roots of a tomato plant and a tobacco plant and you can get tomacco (nicotine tomatoes) and nicotine-free tobacco.
the THC (and minor cannabinoids) in cannabis is in the flowers, but i don't know if the THC is made there. we don't smoke tobacco roots to my knowledge, but this is about the extent of my education on the subject.
The chemical production actually occurs in the trichomes themselves, so you need unfertilized female flowers,, or at least sugar leaves, to (eventually) produce THC. Although the plant doesnt directly produce THC, it produces things like CBGa and THCa which get broken down through a process called decarboxylation (removing the carboxyl group from a molecule and replacing it with hydrogen.) into CGB and THC. The most common way to decarb it is with heat through smoking, vaping or cooking but some decarboxylation also happens naturally over time during the curing process after harvest.

I was unfortunately in the hospital for a week or so when these were starting to flower and they got really stressed out from lack of water but they came out alright in the end.
does I forget: doesn't THC "degrade" into CBG? is CBGA part of that chemical process?
it's been so long since i thought about cannabinoids (aside from "limonene and pinene pleez") that i can't remember much beyond their effects.
I added THCa to my original post, but the decarboyxlation process is how the various acids (the A at the end) in the plant break down, yeah. I wouldn't really call it degrading, but THC can degrade over time if exposed to oxygen or light, or stored somewhere too dry. They sell these little saltwater packet humidor things from some company called Boveda. After drying and curing, you throw the pack in a mason jar along with your flower and then you can store it for up to a year without losing much quality.
those packs are great for upgrading shit- weed into mid- weed too
Yeah they will rehydrate the flower to the right level and give you a bit more bulk and flavor.
I cannot recommend enough to NOT smoke nightshades other than tobacco, the fact that they contain microscopic amounts of nicotine is somewhat offset by the OTHER alkaloids.
