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
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.
Tonite I am trying a new step ...
boiling off & simmering 5 Gs' in two cups of water and 10G of butter.....
15 minutes
Adding in three cups of Milk
Then let steep over night before straining and adding any flavours.
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.Quote:

if you would have cut a little piece of butter to put in with the herb it would have worked
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.
Cheers!:noel:

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...Quote:

got milk:thumbsup:
Man,I just had some weed tea this afternoon and Im feeling Awesome,I usually just make the cannabutter and put a tbs in my tea add milk and sugar,yumz
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...
not sure but i have a theory.
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!
add some hennesey to your tea
thats like 1.7 grams lol:clap:Quote:

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.
how gud is weed tea? not sure weda or not to giv it a go or not...nutin can be smokin it tho right?
just do some weed hot chocolate. use milk instead of water.
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'm lactose intolerant so can I do this with mocha mix or any other non dairy creamer?
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..
I used a tea bag in a cup with a couple of nuggets ground up and put in a strainer yesterday >>>>
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!!
If you got high from Hot Marijuana Water, congrats! You just succumbed to the Placebo Effect >>>>
Exactly. Almost every time get prescribed some kind of medication I read the possible side effects and I swear I experience half of them.
Weed is works great for making tea..
YA!! I was thinking the same thing, only thing I could figure is either he's wasted already or is a kid that thinks he is texting
