cannabis tea

i recently admitted to myself that i really don't like smoking anything, and smoking is very unhealthy, so it doesn't make sense for me to smoke marijuana now if i can make a tea. however, i do feel that using it--at least the way i've been using it in the recent past--has a positive effect on my life. that being said, i don't know the phytochemistry of cannabis, and don't know what's involved with THC and water extracts which would be a very important element of making tea.

so--has anyone made cannabis tea successfully before? if so, did you include butter? how long did you steep the tea? etc etc. any details would be greatly appreciated.

also, and this may seem trivial, but for the record: how does it taste?

 

you cant make tea marijuana isnt water solible its only fat you could boil some weed in some milk and put that in tea.

 

My friend did that once before, and I have to say it was the most vile thing I've ever tasted. He may have gone about it wrong, but it was pretty rancid.

But yeah, THC isn't soluable in water, only fat. You should try to make some cannabutter and then some brownies from that

I've never made cannabutter, but that's just a recipee I googled for, dunno how good it is.
You can also try leary biscuits. I don't remember exactly how to make them but it's pretty simple. Cracker + Peanut Butter + Weed, throw that in the microwave and your good to go.

 

I once made some cannacoffee using about three shots of heavy wipping cream and 1 to 1 and a half grams of decent dried middies.
Basically, you de stem and deseed your bud, grind it up really really well (I did this by hand, but a coffe grinder can work if you are dealing with a large amount of trees), and let it seep in near boiling wipping cream for about a half hour. After that you strain it, and pour it in some dark, strong coffee.
The onset is in about an hour or two, and it can last up to eight. It's a heavier high than smoking, and it's easier to OD on it (Not fatally, that's impossible, but it is possible to ingest more weed than you would be comfortable with).

 

yeah i thought a lot about doing stuf like that, i think every smoker/stoner does
but then i usually think, why go to some much trouble, i still prefer a puff, and i'm always afraid it will lose it's effect some how, the more steps you under take. I made Space-pancakes a could of times, those where fun.
but i never had spacecake, due to mixed messeges about it.

so i still smoke my weed, and chew my shrooms, speccially with the lather i don't want to waste a psylo

 

if you make weed tea properly (boil buds in milk, then add a very small amount of water, and a gud amount of sugar) it is the most beautiful taste in the world. there can be no doubt about that. think bout it, how could anyhting taste better than weed, milk and sugar!!!

 

Just tried 2 Leary biscuits with cheese on my lunch break, should make work more interesting today.

 

so would scolding (you should never boil milk, but bring it close to a boil) skim milk for it work? i mean because the fat has mostly been removed?

 

I would honestly use half&half or heavy whipping cream. the fat holds the thc so the mroe fat the more potent you can make the milk, because you don't want realy milky tea.

 

yea soz, no boilin, my istake, but very slightly simmer

 

ok, so what is the exact procedure for this? i mean how long do i steep the cannabis in the heating milk, how much of all the ingredients (ratio) do i need? etc etc. basically-- exactly how did you do it?

 

a handful of herb into bout a pint of whole milk with 8 teaspoons of sugar, heat for 15 mins, and the mixture will reduce, the strain the mixture, press any remaining liquid outta the herb, n keep it coz it is gud to chew on! n serve up with a small amont of hot water

 

that cud put 4+ people into a gud place, but depende on your tolerance. if u are unsure, use a smaller amount of herb, as too much and u can feel quite uncomfortable

 

how much pot will i boil for this? what about stems?

 

wont the THC evaporate when you simmer it in milk?
