    I am pretty sure stems have no THC in em, but i was wondering if maybe they have a little. What can I do with them, all these stems are piling up on me.

    They really don't have alot. Crystals shake off from the bud, but aside from that, it's just wood. I like building little cabins out of mine.

    Smoke them if you're desperate. They're really harsh, but they do get you high. I've tried it.

    I wouldn't recommend them though, you have to smoke a lot.

    Isn't the whole plant covered with the crystals, just in MUCH lower amounts than the buds? Don't they call it "shake"? I thought I read somewhere you can get the crystals off it and make hash or something.

    you put them in a vaporizer. ,

    also....
    , theres also a few extractions.

    i wouldnt recomend eating a whole bunch of stems because of all the fiber.
    extract into butter using a double boiler.. then put the butter on food.

    or...
    extract to get a smokable oil...ie butane extract, isopropylalcohol, cold water hash extrac,, theres several techniques.

    If you have a lot, then make brownies. My friend has done this, and damn, you can get really stoned.

    if you smoke them, do this:
    scape the skin off (the green bit, under that its all white, and that stuff has no thc in it) the skin is where all the nutrients flow, and has crystals on it.
    use a bong (caus its harsh as)

    but id reccoment saving them up to use in cooking or extracting. still, id reccomend scraping the skin off.

    i usually throw em away tho, or if im dealing, cut them up really fine and put em in ppl's baggies, jsut to make it look bigger :p not that it really adds yto much.

    Thats what i was gonna say. Get a bunch of em, chop them up and put them in a jar. Then cover with a high proof grain alcohol. Wait about a week, and strain the stems out and keep the liquid. Then slowly evaporate the alcohol off and you should be left with a bright greenish substance. you can smoke it, put it in food or whatever.

    stems may be lightly coated to covered with trichomes that have fallen off the buds and leaves. They produce few if any (you could check this in Marijuana Botony) trichomes on there own.

    But even in a vaporizer, you'll most likely need a large amount, and they should be ground.

    I've smoked the large sunleaves in a vaporizer (something near deplorable in a joint), and once dried and ground, a bowl full produces a decent hit.

    Incidently, shake is generally the small, single leaves and broken and crushed pices of buds created by handling.
