Has anyone tried marijuana tea before? I wanted to try something different so I just mixed in some raw bud with my tea and some honey, and I'm letting it sit in a thermos for awhile. I've heard that it can be as strong as edibles, so you can consume 100% of the THC and have the effects last longer... I'll drink it at like 3, so I'll see how it goes. Probably not as fun as smoking though haha
Considering the oils containing the cannabinoids are not water soluble, it's a wasted effort. You need to use either a fat of some type; butter, whole milk, or a solvent like alcohol to extract the good stuff into. The only amount of good stuff you will get in the water only tea will be trichomes that washes off the bud. Throw a shot or two of vodka in there, that will make a big difference.
Even if you add vodka it wont make any real difference. The only way to convert thc into a form that is active orally is to extract it into alcohol over a very very long period of time (weeks-months), or into a fatty substance such as heavy cream or oil with heat. I can promise you that your tea will be ineffective, although it may taste very nice if its some good bud. A better method for weed tea is to use heavy creamer and simmer it in a pot with finely ground up weed for a long time on low heat, the longer the better. Then just mix the cream in with whatever you want.
Yeah, I tried this before and ended up havig to make pot chocolate instead of tea, although the tea does taste great, espcially with mint and/or green tea.
yeah it's like an hour after i drank it... nothing. Eatlysericacid is right Just a waste of good bud...
I've made tea in the past, drank it at bedtime and had sound sleep (something rare for me) but then dry the weed and smoke it another time...... Dual purpose.
That's exactly what I do...your the first other person I've heard of who does that. But I also say your sig quote almost exactly how it's written. Is that a quote from somebody?
actually I'm starting to feel something. But it's REALLY subtle. Like a very just relaxed mind and body. I'll see if it builds at all, but if not, it was a waste.. like 1hr 1/2 in
You asked if my sig was a quote from somebody..... Yes it is and that's his name. Jiddu Krishnamurti @ Black_Lotus.... The relaxed state from making weed tea is why I used it as a sleeping aid. I don't know the chemistry behind it but making tea with just boiling water, just like you would make any other tea, draws out some relaxing qualities/substances leaving the others behind..... Thus when smoked later it's "just pot". When I've had it in the past I utilize the whole plant in one way or the other.... Never did anything with the roots though.
Sorry for the vagueness. It was a question mark of conusion and "who the heck is he?" I thought I may have read the quote and forgot I read it, but I would have recognized the name. Just similar thought patterns I guess.
