Weed Tea?

[eL.migz]

hey so im not to savy on the whole edible cannabis scene, and i was wondering, if i was to take a nug, and put it in a cup of boiling water, and let it steep for a while, would it work well to feel the affects or would i be wasting a nug? are the effects of eating cannabis different than that of smoking? just clarifying. thanks a lot

Eating cannabis makes it about 3x as potent as smoking. THC is not water soluble, so weed tea would be a waste of good weed.

The THC can be broken down in fats/oil and alcohol.

Look on the recipe forums for some ideas.

Thank you LIP, you saved me from having to explain THC's non-solubility in water once again!- Granny:stoned:

What about if you boiled it in whole milk. Whole milk has fat in it, would this be effective? If it is how much should you use?

Some THC will be disolved, but i can almost say with certainty not all of it.

Milk will work! There is a classic recipie ...I think its called bhang. look it up and let me know your results.
Make sure you use whole milk or cream for the higher fat content. good luck.

Do you really want to boil milk though?

[VaporDaddy]

not a hard boil...it will scold, but simmer it.
then pour it out of the pot ...don't scrape bottom of the pan because you will mix the bitter burnt part into the rest.

lol all you have to say in non soluble. i took AP biology god forbid, so i completely understand. thanks though

so all you would do is put some in a pot with whole milk and boil it, then pour it through a strainer to get the weed out?

i would use half and half. and youll have to grind the weed up fine for the THC to be extracted completely. put a lot of weed and boil the cream down till its concentrated. then strain it through cheesecloth. then you can put it in the fridge and mix it with coffee, tea, milk, hot chocolate etc.

or you could just smoke the shit:stoned:

This is an old IC post, but on the second post there is a "Bhang Lassi" recipe (and just about any pot recipe you care to think of- tinctures, oils, cookies, main dishes... you name it!) I got this page bookmarked! - Granny:stoned:
