Trying to make tea... needing measurement conversion

I'd like to cut back on the meds I take at night and had the idea to make some medicated tea. But here I am, on my second trial dose and I can feel almost no observable body high. Same with my friend who was helping me test it. We both tried a different method using the same amounts. Pretty much all the recipes I found had the same measurements and I've made edibles in the past so I'm fairly confident that's not the issue. My guess is that I didn't use enough flower because I didn't have a scale and so I was using a measuring spoon instead. I found some info online that 1/4 tsp = 1gm and went by that. Can anyone tell me if this is accurate? My friend and I each had 1/2 tsp and therefore expected a much stronger effect. We both thought it didn't look like a 2gs... I guess I could go get a scale but I'd honestly prefer not to have one.

 

cannabis not water soluble.

 

No, of course not. I made chai tea using cream in one recipe and butter in the other. Just added the tea at the end. The only water used was in brewing the tea. I just need to know the gram to tsp conversion.

 

This what we did. It's just super weak. I think my measurements were just off. It didn't look like a gram to me, but other online conversions I found said 1/4 tsp = 1g so I went with it.

 

So if someone could help us out and tell me how many grams are in a teaspoon, that'd be great. Otherwise I have to drive to town for a new scale.

 

1gram of good flower, pulled by milk or cream is probably around 10-25mg. a scoop of cream with be closer 100mg if you used more flower.

but what you seem to be asking is trick math, because there is no true possible way to know the amount of thc in a gram unless provided by the supplier on the medicine.

 

LMGTFY

 

How many grams of what though?

 

Just forget it. I knew it was a mistake to think returning to HF was going to be a fun time. My bad for thinking someone would be kind enough to help a girl out when I'm in the middle of an anxiety attack and do not have access to traditional weighing methods . Have a blessed end to your week.

 

I think the problem here is a miscommunication. I honestly don't know if you mean a gram of sugar or a gram of weed. Totally different number of teaspoons!

 

I'm just stunned that a staff member's response to an earnest request for help is a sarcastic "LMGTFY," particularly when the OP stayed clearly that Google had already not been helpful. Nobody even answered my question and then y'all get snarky when I clarify it and try again?! This isn't the same HipForums I left and was excited to return to. Since no one would help I drove 30 miles into town for a scale... that turned out not to work. So I am still trying to make this dumb tea with correct measurements and my anxiety is even worse.

I appreciate your willingness to help, soulcompromise. I thought it was clear that I am asking for a way to measure out about a gram of weed without a scale. I only have teaspoon measuring cups in my apartment. In my mind it would be easy for someone with both a scale and a teaspoon to quickly weigh out a gram and then tell me if it does actually fit into only 1/4 tsp. It looks like a hell of a lot less than a g to me.

 

give me a minute I need to get my scale and a spoon

 

a heaping teaspoon of crumbled up weed but not powdered is .4 level and .7 heaping

I hope this helps you good luck

 

can someone translate these letters for this old hippie please?​

 

Thank you so very much, kynd sir! Greatly appreciated.

 

LMGTFY = let me Google that for you. Aka a sarcastic way of saying, "Look it up yourself. "

 

oh...that's unfortunate.......don't let it stop you from coming back more often....chat thread in the stoners lounge is fairly safe

 

I can speak for myself, lol.

Google is my go-to for conversions.
