What to do with stems

[doverguy]

Hi just wondering what if anything can be done with the stems left over once you have removed the leaves, I have a tin full, dont want to throw them away as there must be something you can use them for. Any ideas?

[WidespreadJazz420]

you can toss them in your upper and lower lips, thats what i do

Chuck em all in a big bottle of spirit (vodka, bercardi etc.) The higher the % the better. Leave it in a dark place for anything longer than a month (the longer you leave it the better it gets). Drink in shots and you get mashed.

I did one with about half O of stems in a litre of vodka for 4 months, had about 6 shots before a night out, and man was I fucked. I did drink alot more alcohol during the night and finnished off with some spliffs. It was a wicked night.

Give it a go if you have the patience to wait for it.

make hot chocolate with em. since you need fat to draw out the thc, lightly boil the the stems in milk for a few mins(constantly stirring) then pour the milk into a cup thru a strainer (if you wanna take the stems out) then add a packet of hot chocolate. delicious and gets ya high.

Well i love chewing on em but i just make tea with em now here is how to do so


1.Take your stems put them in a bowl or cup with hot water
2. Place it in your microwave for like 1 minute or 1 minute and 30 seconds
3. take the cup u will be drinking from and take a coffee filter place it over the cup.
4. Dump the cup of stems and the water which should look greenish into the coffee filter above the cup.
5.squeeze the stems in the coffee filter to get the extra juice out.
6. You can repeat the process and take the tea from the cup and strain it again.
7 . Once u have strained it into your cup and squeezed the juices out now u just add sugar..

It taste just like regular tea but alittle better .


That sounds like a great idea. I will have to try that!
Thank you for the idea.

I'm gonna go try this right now. I'll post an update after I'm done.

If you are old enough, get a bottle of Everclear alcohol or very high percentage isopropyl alcohol (80%+ the higher the better) and do the alcohol extraction. If you don't like alcohol you can burn it off later and it will leave an extremely high potency cannabinoid extract which you can smoke. If you use isopropyl alcohol... you can't drink it after the extraction, but you can if you use ethanol spirits. If you do any kind of tea brewing or cooking with them MAKE SURE you heat them in the oven or microwave first to invoke the decarboxylation process, otherwise you will probably be disappointed.

Yeah.. I'm a noob and didn't oven/microwave it. :(

But it was delicious regardless.

[WeedyBoyWonder]

How long should they be in the oven / microwave for?

Just make hash with the trichs on the outer. You need quite alot of stems though, but the hash is worth it.

[Hazeydays]

How many stems do you really need for this to be effective?

[KingsBlend420]

I just chew on them, I like the taste.

[TheGreenReefer]

hmm i have done lots of testing with stems and in my opinion honestly the best one to do is get a 1/5 of your favorite drink (for me its either jameson or seagrams' gin) and just put all your stems in it. Definately let it sit for alteast a week or two in a dark place. shake it up everynow and then to mix it. then once its been awhile it is forsure done soaking strain all the stems out and drink it. I cant drink it in straight shots however because it really hurts your stomach but making mixed drinks just really gets you messed up. This is what i usually do for UFC fights because one drink is enough to get you feelin real good..

ALso tea is nice but doesnt get you as high

[funfubarman]

Man i agree with lip go make some hash and get stoned out of your mind

[Hilder420]

tell me how to make hash

[LuckyG]

There's a tutorial on how to make hash in the Recreational forum I think.

Whenever I have stems I just stick 'em in my bong and give the whole bowl a quick once-over with the flame, then dump it right away. I know it doesn't really get me high, but it's something to do I guess.

[qdavid]

Thank you for the idea.
I don't think that'll get you buzzed though. THC's not water soluble so you have to bond it with fat, like milk fat, to release any THC. I think this is just for tasty tea.
Edit: Oops that was said already. I guess I should have read on.

[Juggalo k00kie]

i think i'd go with the hot chocolate idea... that or hash

[doverguy]

how do I make hash out of stems?

[LIP]

Shaking. There was a video on WTM but they got hacked. Dont know if it's all back up yet or not.

[dean0000]

Blender hash is a good way to make small amounts of hash. Just google 'blender hash'. You will need a large amount of stems to make even a little bit of hash though, at least 20g of stems I would say. I also saw that 'save your stems' vid lip and the site is still down.

Damn. I hope they get it back up fairly soon.

I didnt mention that, but your right, you need quite a few stems to make the hash. About an oz will give you roughly 5 grams of hash, but it's worth it imo.

[Juggalo k00kie]

they probably have videos for that shit on YouTube

hmm. I would agree that about an oz of bud trimmings would give you 5g of hash. IMO you would need around 3-4oz of stems to make 5g of hash as they have such a small amount of THC. I dont really know though as I have never had this amount of stems to work with.

[fonzie]

you can make tea out of it which will get you high i think

An oz of bud would give you alot more than 5 g's before it became unpure. I'm talking trichomes only, no plant matter. An oz of bud would definatly give you alot more than 5gs.

Stems are VERY light, so an oz of them is ALOT, and that's make roughly 5gs, maybe more, maybe less. They do have a minimal amount of trichomes, but the trichomes contain the same % THC as the rest of the plant, so it's useable. But like i said, stems that are properly dried [and should already be dry coz you shouldnt be buying wet bud] weigh hardly anything, and an oz is alot.

[iSmoke31307]

You can toss them in a vape. A big bowl of stems in a vape will get you fairly high.

Butane Honey Oil.

Solve out all available cannabinoids and let it evaporate off. I'm about to go do a batch RIGHT NOW.

[ganjahi]

i think that hot chocolate idea rocks!!! I definitely need to give that a whirl.:rastasmoke:

[Islandborn]

You can absolutely make some potent tea out of stems (with stems from quality buds of course)...just make sure to use milk so the thc can bind to the fatty molecules before adding the stems inside some pantyhose.... Panty Hose make a perfect tea bag.

[SmokeNRun]

how do I make hash out of stems?

you could shake them in ISO alcohol then let the alcohol evaporate and boom hash. Actually I have noticed that stems usually make hash oil instead of the harder type hash.
