I was stoned earlier and i got about a bowl pack left of my 40s weed. So i suddenly had the urge to make some weed tea. I took a tea bag. I emptied out the original tea herbs. Then i chopped my 40s up and put it in the tea bag. Then i just poured a cup of boiling water into the tea cup and just kept the tea bag in the water for 15 minutes (just to make sure it was in long enough). Then i drank it. Im still waitin for the trippin to start, but i dont know if i even did it right.

If you make weed tea, how do you do it? Am i doin it right?

I dried out the weed that was in my tea bag, and ill be smoking that later to make sure i get all the THC out of it.

I dried it out when i was done with the tea. And i smoked it today and it was fine. Plus: I'm not saying i dont use my weed sparingly, but i got enough to last me a while. It was just an experiment.

THC needs some sort of fat or oil to extract it or else it just stays in the plant material.

yeah the water wont do anything to extract the THC. But replying to someone elses comment, i feel that eating weed gets you so much higher. I ate a 1/16 in a cookie, and it got me higher than i would from smoking an 8th.

I've made that tea successfully before and it's like being on O. Just take a gram or so (or less if you have some dank shit), do exactly like you did, make sure the tea bag is stapled shut, make sure the water is boiling. Eventually it'll smell like the chron and the water will turn light green. That's when you know you good to go. Enjoy.

yea roland. I think ill try that next time.

The weird thing though. I dont think i got any thc when i made the tea. But the tea still tasted real good. You know that signature scent you get when you smell weed? Thats what the tea tasted like. It didnt get me real high but it was good.

Roland Bluntz

Thats strange but it makes sense. Maybe its more of a placebo effect. The last couple times I made the tea I thought it'd get me real destroyed, so it did. Then again, I'm pretty sure that THC is at least somewhat water soluble.... otherwise you should be able to pour a liter of water on your chrons and not have it go to waste, haha imagine that!

Yeah! You did everything right.... except when you put all of the good green in there. Use stems instead and you'll get an adrenaline rush kind of high. At least, when I make the stuff and drink it, that's how I feel. It could be a placebo effect... then again, I'm not the type to think silly ideas are going to work, either. All in all, the high you get off of tea really isn't worth the effort of making it, but it is a pleasant tasting tea.

put about5 quitebig and quite strong buds in a cup add boiling milk and a bit of butter mix it up and leave it for 10 minites take te bud out then drink the liquid wot will happenin if it wont work cud sum1 plz give me the easiest way to drink it and it mustb easy coz am 15 nd dont hav access to must equipment nd if teres another way plz dont put the amount of weed in ouzes nd dimes nd tht coz am from engand nd dont understand tt language

SomeDude
09-23-2004, 07:26 PM
I do this:

First, dry the buds out as dry as it will get, to dehydroxylate all the thc molecules. Then put a cup of whole milk on the stove, add the bud and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and leave it where it's just steaming for however long you want. I usually do 30-40 minutes. You can drink that, but it doesn't taste too good. I always bring it back to a boil, and a crushed up square of semi-sweet baking chocolate, 1/4 cup of sugar, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Stir it constantly till the chocoloate melts, and then let it cool a little. That's da shit right there.

srry to bust up some of ur theories abbout tea but THC is water soluble and in order for ur tea to do anything u gots to leave it in there for 30mins to an hour so that it'll seperate the THC from the plant matter. the problem was that u left it in for only 15 mins. also, dont make tea with good weed (WASTE) make it with stems that u save up.

roll it up
09-26-2004, 04:04 PM
if u wanna do something with stems,just make green dragon.and we have all went over how to make this before,so i dont think i have to explain it

THC is slightly water soluble, but it has to be heated up to 190C in your toaster oven first to convert most CBN to THC. However, it is not worth doing and is a complete waste of weed. If you don't want to make cannabutter, make bhang. But, for God's sake, DON'T TRY MAKING THE TEA! Wait a second... Idea... Grind up the weed real nice and stick it in really hot water: a glass of it. Boil it up to get all the weed flavour out. Stick it in your fridge, without filtering, and let it cool. When it gets really cold, all of the tricombs (for fucks sake i cant even spell any more) will sink to the bottom, like in bubble hash. Skim all the leaves/buds off the top and heat up that liquid. Agitate it and serve. Now THAT would make a mean tea. Just remember to take that last sip in case any of the tricombs settled BUT at higher temperatures (hot water) the tricombs should stay in a good suspension.

Well THC needs to be "activated". Yeah actually why don't you just heat it up to 190 in your toaster oven and eat it. That's how I got high the first time ever. The first time I TRIED to get high I just ate a joint. Lots of people will tell you that it needs to be dissolved in fat or alcohol, but that's BS.

dudes.....if THC was water soluble......we wouldnt be smoking out of water bongs and pipes, unless you guys planned on drinking the bong water.

-another thing.....if thc WAS water soluble, bong water could fuck you up, and it sure doesnt.

Actually, here's the deal.

THC (what gets you stoned) is not water soluble at all. Thats why drinking plain water a lot doesn't help you on drug tests. Though, it is fat soluble, and oil soluble. So, that means when cooking with it, you need to make sure there is some fat/oil in there (and in tea that means milk). Plus, it must be at high temperatures to extract the THC, and you don't wanna eat anything at least 2 hours before you try consuming the weed.

So, it is possible to make weed tea, just make sure you add milk along with it. Make sure it stays warm too.

Goodman3eb
06-14-2005, 03:40 PM
Well put.

The hot water serves to take all the THC acid and Decarboxylize it (knock a COOH off the end of the molecule) to convert it into its psychoactive form. If you were to just make the tea, it might knock off some converted THC in suspension, but nothing would dissolve. However, if you boil the weed for a while, drink the water, and then eat the weed paste left over (or mix it with sugar and put it on a cracker, whatever), you'd prob get hella fucked.

actually all of you that say it's not possible to make weed tea are very wrong i just did it last night now this is how you do it you take a pot fill it half with water and then the rest milk heat it until it boils then add the weed stir it and put a plate over the pot let it sit for about 20 to 30 min. when you place the buds in the pot dont put it in a tea bag just put it in the pot and when you pour it to drink it get the buds in there too then drink it and eat the buds then about 30 min to an hour later smoke a ciggarette(not sure if you have to but it's what i did and by the end of the cig i felt high already) it messes you up pretty bad.

People, we know you can make weed tea. What we're saying is is that some form of oil/fat must be present to make it work, as compared to just boiling it in water. That doesn't work.

Milk, butter, alcohol, and whatever constitues "oils", food-wise, can absorb THC molecules. Water can not. That's why all the effective methods of passing drug tests somehow involve drinking lots of water.

HOWEVER, Bong water CAN get you stoned, the reason for this is that the tar gets aborbed into the water, and the THC attaches to that. But, I would advise against drinking it (I've never done it myself) because the tar:THC ratio is much higher, it's bad for your health and when my friend tried it he got sick.

Just thought I'd clarify some things up here before we move on in the discussion. :dance: :smokin:

Yes the best recipes that I've seen for weed tea is to take a stick of butter and melt it in boiling water. Add the weed and let it boil away for about 20 - 30 mins, or longer to really get all the THC out. Then let it cool enough to put the mixture in the fridge. As the mix cools the butter hardens - along with the THC - and you can pour off the water. Then use the butter in cooking or you can make tea (or Bhang).

Not sure of the quantities (how much weed, butter, water) you'll have to google it.

You are wasting good bud if you are putting it into water... I simply can't stand by and let this happen, lol, so I'll share with you a method that worked for me. I got the recipe off erowid.org, I think, a few years ago. Here's how I did it:

I basically took 1 cup of either whole or 2% milk, put a paper towel over the top of the mug, and heated it up in the microwave at 30 second intervals, checking between intervals to make sure the milk didn't bubble over, until it was steaming hot. (steaming hot, meaning before it boils: if the milk boils, the thc drawn from the bud will evaporate into the air, and a good amount of thc will be lost.) Then I poured the hot milk over a good nickel's worth (about four or five grams) of broken up buds and stems, and let it steep for five minutes, put the cup back in and let it heat some more, and then let it steep again; I repeated this a few times until the milk had a very distinct green tint. When it was done, I let it cool a bit and sipped on it... it had me extremely lit in about fifteen minutes!!! It does not taste very good alone...I recommend using the bud milk to make hot cocoa, or to put in coffee.. that masks the bitterness pretty well, with a bit of sugar, of course. Enjoy, I hope it works for you.

I know that we have some wise and knowledgable people in our community, so why don't someone (with allot of BUD), do controlled experiments?
That way, the sceptism will be gone and we'll have at least FACTS.
Like do the Butter thing, then do the milk thing, then do the water and milk or just milk alone? Personally I don't know and I rather smoke it anyways.:D

joyfuldinosaur
04-12-2008, 03:44 PM
I would reccomend using whole milk instead of skim or 1%/2% if you really want to do that. I think you would have to cook the weed in the milk first, in order to get out the thc, and then add water. I think that if the weed gets wet, then the fat can't get to it and extract all the yummy thc goodness.

THC is soluble in oil or alcohol. Tea does not get the THC into you. However, there are more cannabinoids in cannabis than THC. I doubt it will get you high, but if you are in pain, it may work. Read the following articles.

Though THC is the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, it possesses more than 400 chemicals, 60 of which (including THC) are cannabinoids. Cannabis plants also contain choline, eugenol, guaicacol and piperidine.

While you are correct that THC is not water soluble, it is possible that the other cannabinoids are indeed just that. So a high can still occur.

It also might work to soak the 'tea bag' in a shot of liquor (clear preferred?) then add hot water to extract anything else in the plant.
I would think to let time pass before adding the water.

I have never tried tea with alcohol, but weed tea tastes delicious and I did get a 'high'. I will try it with alcohol soon.

I've been researching tinctures and happened to find a few things about teas as well. I've never made it but many people have. Don't let people tell you it can't be done. The key is something oily or fatty in the tea. Add milk, butter or whatever, but water alone will likely do nothing. The good stuff actually ends up on top of the water, like an oil slick. Drinking the rest of the tea will do nothing except make the stuff taste better. Also don't let people tell you not to waste good bud on tea. Like everything else you do with weed, crap in = crap out. Good stuff in = success. Stems have virtually none of the chemicals we desire.

Just my 2 cents, but the point is many people do it, and do it well. Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done, or it's a waste of time.

yeah oppy is right... THC is fat soluble...

i know half a pound of stems and a lil shake didnt do anything to 2 cups of water used for tea but altered the taste a lil bit and chnaged the color of water into river green!!!!! no psych effects after consumption was reported neither any stomach problems.


the "tea" is just a name... essentially its a weed drink based on some fatty/oily substance or an alcoholic beverage... it has nothing to do with idea of brewing marijuana in water as to have a a "mj tea"

i can't believe how many people didn't know what they were talking about in the early years of this post. so many were confirming he did it right. aside from the alternative cannabinoids that someone mentioned, you will not get high from just dousing weed with hot water.

it's even more absurd than the people that claim to get high by just eating weed, because at least THEY might have had some fat or oil in their stomach already.

lol silliess

09-02-2008, 07:07 PM
So true veg33, so true.

However when people say they got high from heating weed with water, though it's hard to believe they may be telling the truth to some degree. Regardless of what most people think, THC is water soluble. The deal is it's only very slightly water soluble, where as with oil or fat its extremely soluble. I expect the results from using water to be extremely marginal, but not out of the question.

I've not tried with water, because if it did work at all it would be extremely inefficient and wasteful. These assumptions are only based on what I've read.

I dont realliy have a recipe carved in 'stone'.

Lycathin is what is in the Milk that emulsifies the oils that contain the THC and other goodies in the erb'. (Milk .. Butter .. )

Water soluable capsules are readily available and can be used instead of Dairy.

Boiling weed in water for 15-30 minutes ( I'm trying different times )
Every strain is different so its really hard to get uniform measurements when I'm dealing with amounts of time in the water... amount of water..


I'll share what I have though.

I can get a just under a litre of 'bomb' liquid out of 6 grams.

Grinding it up in a buster or scissors before boiling is essential.

The best batch I ever made was
3 cups of water & 15Grams of Butter
... and 3 cups of milk slowly added after the water boiled
then let to steep for a long time. Until cool.


Pour the mixture into a jar through a strainer.

A cup of that layed me out ... but I chilled it and basically got high for three days.

I find the more brown & sticky the resin in the bud the stronger the drink. The longer the flower was left before harvest the better I'm gathering.
Which is not necessarily what people want for smoking.
Prettier ... more crystally buds ... have not produced stronger drinks for me but some of the premiere buds have a better taste.



After boiling and adding something with Lycathin in it ( the Milk and Butter in my recipe )... grinding the weed..... fellow concerned potlovers shouldn't conern themselves with what they are losing but what they are gaining when they chuck the carbon based fibre waste material that is the green slime in the strainer..... although feel free to cook with it.

Its not the same as smoking it ...... at all.
My lips .. gums .. throat & lungs are feeling the same kindness that my mind as enjoyed for years. Twenty five of them ...

When I get the mix just so ... its better. A lot better.
It lasts longer.
The munchie factor dwarfs the smoking induced craving. Probably not a good thing for most but I like it.
Some mixtures have turned out some super trippy results. Colours ... laughing .. you guys know the drill. LSD Like.
Body layed right out .. not going anywhere type thing.

There is no substitute or the rush of the instant absorption of pot smoke entering the blood stream through the lungs. If thats' what you're after.
Blowing one off is a a rite. Nothing replaces it.

I like to have way more dope in me than smoking will safely allow for at my age. This works for me.

I don't think it matters if thc is water soluable or not, as long as its released and activated. What activates it? Heat. I just don't know what the exact temperature is recommended. I've read THC is activated at 175 degrees farenheit and numbers have flucuated between 150-220 degrees from various books and online sources.

Like Opie said, it ends up like an oil slick on top of the water. Obviously it doesn't mix but that does not mean it is not activated. There is obviously something in fat and alcohol that retains the thc/cbn in it's desired state, and I use the word 'retain' very liberally because oil and water is not even supposed to mix in the first place. Very hot water *can* melt the oily crystals on flowers.

I think the trick to it all is to find the desired temperature.

Reading this thread gave me an idea (although it is part of like 3 posts). Soaking 1 gram in 3oz of everclear for say 1 hour (or longer), and then adding it to 2 cups of water, then boiling a little more than one cup out with low heat giving you around 1 cup of liquid extract thc and what not allowing you to add it to water to heat slowly at low heat until it is close to 1 cup of liquid.

Disclaimer. If you are over fire, you shouldnt be. Mix everything away from a gas stove or fire or whatever. Away, you know just in case.

Im almost sure that it would not give good results. For the THC be extracted to the alcohol (everclear), it must be heated at a suitable temperature (very near the alcohols boiling point) for a large amount of time (about 1 hour or so). The heat increases enormously the speed of the extraction. Soaking weed in cold everclear takes WEEKS to produce a "decent" extract.
Also, the waters hinders greatly the THC extraction, so adding water to the everclear only would make it worse.

Weed tea is possible, the thc does dissolve in the boiling water and i know that for a fact because i do it often before i go to bed because i have trouble sleeping. However i find it weird that you tell me it taste great because i had trouble drinking it when i first started trying it. You are doing it right but make sure your weed is good and fresh before you use it, and if it is done correctly you wouldnt be able to use it for smoking after it. GL with the tea, i think it gives a great trip.

First make some oil:

Place your well dried and ground leaves and stems (or bud of course) in a soup pot. Pour in enough peanut oil to cover the material and bring it to a simmer. You could use any cooking oil, but peanut oil seems to have the best taste with bud. Back off your temperature just a bit to a very low simmer and let cook for 20 to 30 minutes. If you have enough waste material to work with, repeat this process several times: pour through a strainer into a second pot. Dispose of the extracted plant material and simmer a new batch of ground leaves and stems in the oil, repeat until you run out of plant matter.

Strain this oil and place in mason jars.

Now the coffee:

Pour a bit of the fattiest coffee creamer you can find, about 1/2" deep in the bottom of an average coffee cup, add two teaspoons full of oil and a bit of sugar. Microwave this concoction for about 45 seconds and then stir the hell out of it to mix the oil and cream together as much as possible. Add coffee and drink.

Or better yet Kowalski's Holiday Cheer (c)(tm)(pat-pend):

Easiest to make if you have an espresso machine around.

Heat up some eggnog in a small cooking pot or using your espresso machine's steamer - no, not the low fat healthy stuff, we want the real artery clogging fat laden nog here. If you're heating on the stove, just bring it up to 150 degrees - you don't want to scorch the milk. Mix in a couple spoonfuls of oil and two shots of espresso in a nice large coffee cup. I like to add a shot of Baileys Irish cream and/or kalauah as well, but that's entirely optional.

This amazing holiday tradition can be a survival essential for family gatherings. Sit back with a cup of warm spiced ganja-espresso-nog goodness while your annoyance and stress just melt away.

I was stoned earlier and i got about a bowl pack left of my 40s weed. So i suddenly had the urge to make some weed tea. I took a tea bag. I emptied out the original tea herbs. Then i chopped my 40s up and put it in the tea bag. Then i just poured a cup of boiling water into the tea cup and just kept the tea bag in the water for 15 minutes (just to make sure it was in long enough). Then i drank it. Im still waitin for the trippin to start, but i dont know if i even did it right.

If you make weed tea, how do you do it? Am i doin it right?

I dried out the weed that was in my tea bag, and ill be smoking that later to make sure i get all the THC out of it.


mix 1 & 1/2 cup water with 1 cup milk...(Milk & the heat will transfer/remove the THC from the weed)

I use 1-2 gs of dried crushed up weed.... add it to the wilk (water+milk)

bring the mixture to a boil and then turn down and let simmer for 15-20 min

use a pulp strainer and pour the weed tea through the strainer into a cup

add a tea bag, sugar or honey......drink the tea as quick as possible

This will give you a 6-8 hour body high...drink it on a empty stomach.... it takes about 1 hour before you will start to feel the effects.....ENJOY

"Science: With the use of CANNABIS TEA only a small proportion of THC in the CANNABIS is ingested

The users of medicinal CANNABIS in The Netherlands are advised by the Office of Medicinal CANNABIS to prepare CANNABIS TEA as follows: "add 1.0 g of CANNABIS to 1.0 L of boiling water and let simmer for 15 min. Filter out solid parts by using a common TEA-sieve. TEA can be consumed immediately, or stored in a closed bottle in a refrigerator for up to 5 days."

Researchers of the University of Leiden investigated the cannabinoid composition of this TEA. They found that TEA prepared with different batches of CANNABIS with an overall THC concentration (phenolic THC + THC acid) of 19.7 per cent showed only a moderate variation in THC concentrations of 15 per cent. The mean concentration of THC was 10 mg per litre and of THC acid (THCA) 43 mg/L. In the plant THC is mainly present as THCA and is converted into the psychotropic THC upon heating (baking, smoking, boiling). Since with cooking of water only a relatively low temperature of 100 degrees Celsius is reached only a small part of THCA was transformed into THC, resulting in an availability of only about 5 per cent phenolic THC of the whole THC (10 mg of 197 mg THC acid + THC). The authors also found, that the THC concentration rapidly declined during storage, which was largely prevented by the addition of coffee creamer powder.

Well... THC is not completly insoluble in water, but barely soluble... as the text says, the amount of THC dissolved was 10mg/Liter, which is very low indeed... i doubt anyone would get any high by drinking this tea, unless it were in gallons...

If you dissolve a spoon or two of honey in the boiling water before adding the herb, that should help out a lot.

ok heres what you do, first of all it takes about six hours to extract from the stem... also u need an oil in the mix with the water a mix of honey and small amount of vodka usualy does the trick so mix that all in the water let the teabag filled with stems sit in the hot water for 6 hours or so and than re heat and drink...

I dont think Thc is water soluble but cant the pysical acts of boiling it extract Thc?

The truth about weed tea:

THC needs animal fat to bind itself and activate it's psychidelic "powers".
The way Marijuhana tea is made in Amsterdam:
What you need:
1-2 Grams of weed/hash (depending on the THC concentration).
1 tea bag of earl grey
Milk
A pan
A fire
A tea cup.
How to:
Warm up the milk on a high fire until it starts to cook. Throw in the hash/weed. Let it cook until it almost rises over the pan. If that happens take the milk off the fire and put the fire on low. Place the milk back on (DON'T LET IT COOK OVER!) and keep it warm for about 20-25 minutes. After the milk is finished, make yourself some tea and pour in the weed milk. You'll get hella stoned from that!

yeah the water wont do anything to extract the THC. But replying to someone elses comment, i feel that eating weed gets you so much higher. I ate a 1/16 in a cookie, and it got me higher than i would from smoking an 8th.

thats like 1.7 grams lol:clap:

I am literally sitting here drinking the tea I just made and it has worked for both my boyfriend and myself. It isn't like being "stoned" but it is a definite mellow body high, definitely good to just relax with and watch a movie, but then again I could of just smoke a bowl. My official stance on the matter is the tea does work, a bowl would be better though. Happy adventures guys o_0

Tea, humm - interesting I find this thread now.....

I see several ideas here, but here is how I did it believe it or not for my mother whom is 65 years old (kemo patient right now). Now I did not drink it myself, but she claims it was fine, and actually could have gone for it a little weaker - but the ONLY other time in her life she used it was also within a few months ago, and that was a chicken breast with stems chopped up to almost a powder liberally sprinkled over it, and baked at 350 degrees. She just will not smoke anything, but she wanted the weed - and it was NOT my idea, it was hers; she actually called me and asked for it so....

Now there were a few effects wanted that weed would not do, that is why the combination, but here is what I did for her....

1 TBS grated ginger root
0.5 g weed

cut a piece of a coffee filter just big enough to hold the weed after folding it up, and use a small piece of wire (like a bread tie, after removing the paper or plastic from it) to hold that together (this is to retrieve the weed after tea is done).

Put the ginger root and the weed in a tea ball. Place the filled tea ball in a coffee mug.

boil watter in a tea kettle.

Poor boiled watter in mug with tea ball (DO NOT poor water until kettle is whistling!).

Steep for 5 Mins. (No sooner!)

If desired add sweetener, milk, cream, exc.

Drink.


The weed (this part I have done myself.) can then be dried out and re-used for smoking.

1) boil water 2) put 5 to 10 leaf in the water 3) boil 15 to 20 minutes 4) filter the hot water. drink it slow and its good for your health also make you think more clearly.

I used a tea bag in a cup with a couple of nuggets ground up and put in a strainer yesterday added milk and sugar into a thermos and was ripped for the rest of the night and even when I woke up the next day....It was intense to say the least. so these other guys telling you it wont get you high, haven't succeeded making it right..

That doesn't work, THC is not water soluable and no matter how hot you brew it your best chance of getting a buzz is from the vapor from the boiling water.

FWIW I cooked an 8th in a cup of milk all day yesterday, drank it and can't say I noticed anything.

If you got high from Hot Marijuana Water, congrats! You just succumbed to the Placebo Effect :what:

Why do you think you could take the wet MJ, dry it, and get high off it?????
-Because you cannot draw the active 'high' ingredient into water!

Please stop this thread, over half the people here are spreading LIES and wasting people's weed!!
