Do you eat stems?

Does anybody ever eat the stems? My friend just told me he always eats the stems, saying that at worst he could just get a little high from it..

I didnt think the stems could get you high if you eat em, i thought it would make you sick much like smoking them.

 

I chew on them sometimes.

Only if it's a big one though, I dont find anything happens really. My mouth gets a little tingly but nothing special.

 

I chew on stems 2! I dont think they do anything at all but I like the taste!!

 

I once made pot bread dip with about a half oz of stems and a little shake and it gets you buzzin for a little while. stems do have some THC in them just not as much as the buds do

 

I think if you are just chewing and sucking on them that is fine, but from what I hear you can't digest stems. I mean, it's sticks! You can't expect sticks to go smoothly through your intestines.
Not good.

 

um, well i always chew on the stem no matter the size, just cuz i like the taste.
and i always swallow them when the flavor is gone. its not a bad thing.

 

I think it most certainly is bad! Why do you think we don't go around eating wood? Because we can't digest it.

Keep doing it if you want... and fuck up your body.

 

you can smoke stems and get high, its not very pleasant, but it works if you have enough

 

lol WanderingSoul's posts today have been flame-ish! haha wats going on today?

 

its plant material, fibers... i mean they make paper and stuff with hemp. i dont think its bad to chew on em and eating em. lol.

 

oh and guess what else doesnt digest in ur stomach... corn! should we go around telling people to stop eating corn. lol

 

Fully chew the kernels before swallowing.

 

Fully chew the stems before swallowing.

 

I always at least chew on the stems if not eat them. If anyone is in to leaf salads they go really good with those.

 

I save mine till I get a big enough pile, maybe an ounce or so. Then, during hard times, I grind them up in a coffee grinder. Most of the cellulose is stripped out and forms a stringy mass. The rest is dust that tastes like lawn when you smoke it, but it actually can give you a pretty decent buzz. If you save your resin as well and mix them together it will kong you pretty good though it will taste like asphalt and the aforementioned lawn.

hey yeah, eating stems isn't good or bad for you. it's organic, so it won't be harmful, but then again there's no nutrients, vitamins, or carbs. what there is though, is fibre. (i also chew them myself sometimes)
some things you can do with stems that people didn't mention is either to cook it, or make a drink out of it. cooking is pretty straight forward, but making the drink is something i dont' hear of too often.
get a micky of vodka, (has to be vodka, but get the size according to how much stems you have) and get your stems. you need a shitload. last time i did this, i had about 1/2 a sandwich bag for a micky. put all the stems into the bottle of vodka, and keep it in a warm, dark place. (towel closet works) leave it there for 1-2 weeks. after then, the vodka should have turned a slight green. this will give you a wicked body buzz, along with being drunk.
the reason it works is because thc transfers to fat, and alcohol easiest. why you use vodka i forgot, but i know it works best with it. also, when youre done if you dont' wanna swallow all the weed stems and particles, just filter it through a cloth before drinking.
anyway, hope this helps.

oh and btw, if you eat enough weed, yes, you can get high. but then again, if you drink enough water, you can also get high. this should give you an idea of the magnitude.

 

Smoking the cellulose isn't bad for you, is it? Just unpleasant because of the taste?

 

Gettin my period. Lol. That's probably it.

I could have been a lot meaner, though. I mean, I have heard of someone dying from ingesting stems, but they probably ate a whole lot.

 

I save my stems and make hash oil with them.
