What to do with stems?

Hey guys,

I'm just curious if you guys know of anything fun to do with your leftover stems. I can't seem to come up with anything interesting...any way to save them and get a buzz some way?

Cheers :2thumbsup:

 

Feed them to your dog or cat.

 

chew on'em

 

My friend used to save all of his stems and soak them in rubbing alcohol. We would get some low grade oil off it. Key work LOW grade. I would take some nice bubble hash over the stuff we got then any day.

Here is a tutorial if your interested.

Boil them make tea

 

In the past I've saved stems to make tincture. Using purely stems it turns out alright. It definitely works. I've done it both with heat as a catalyst and also just with plain old time. I personally prefer the heat method but you need to pay a bit more attention than just letting it sit for awhile.

 

Was going to say thats what I've done before

 

I save up all my stems and give them to my friend. He likes to smoke them when he's out of weed (which is always)

 

I chew the big ones, throw out the rest.

 

I habitually chew stems. I dont even know why. Its pointless, but I like the earthy taste, usually spit it out after I chew it, least it cleans the teeth a little....

 

for the people who make tea - does it DO anything?


TheShow - details please?

 

my PM box was full...i cleared some space if you wanna resend that


Finely grind your material.
Use a high content liquor...151 or Everclear. I use 151 but will probably switch to everclear.
cover all the material in a mason jar with the booze.
store in the dark and shake daily. liquid turns dark green quickly, but the longer you let it extract the better.
Strain it when its done. Use an eye dropper; experiment with the dosage.


Its a basic crude method but it accomplishes the task.

 

So just boil water and throw 'em in? Do I need to add any extra ingredients to actually make it effective?

 

so does it get you baked? with my alcohol tolerance, i'd probably get drunk first.

and i was doing a little reading about this. it seems like if you leave it soaking for too long, you'll be extracting chlorophyll and other junk you don't want...

 

I have a question.

Why do you need to strain it...does it begin to mold? Just curious...like how many days would you recommend one let it sit, and would you use it like drops under the tongue (Bachman's therapy I think is a brand?)?

I am really very interested in this topic...uses for stems. Thanks. :mickey:

 

No I will not make out with you!... Did ya hear that?... this girl wants to make out with me in the middle of class. You got Chlorophyll Man up there talking about God knows what and all she can talk about is making out with me. I'm here to learn, everybody, not to make out with you. Go on with the chlorophyll.

 

Shove them in your dick hole

 

I just grind it all up when I get it. The whole lot. Ground.

 

THC is not water soluble. You would need either alcohol or high fat content added to your tea to actually have these be effective.

 

its gets you really baked. a couple drops of this crude method doesn't do much but a dropper full ~10-15 drops gets me going, another dropper is doable, a 3rd and i pass the fuck out.

at one point you will be extractin the extra junk more so than any remaining cannabanoids. This will negatively impact taste imo, but doesn't present real harm
