Stems taste rasty. You can get a mild high from them. They never gave me headaches. They are below smoking resin in the quality of a high. They are my "Oh my Goodness, I NEED to get stoned" emergency stash.- Granny:hippy:
If you smoke a whole bunch you might get a bit buzzed. But seriously just go outand get some more bud or hash..
haha stormcow
Actually I never throw my seeds (hell no) or my stems out and there has been times when I didn't have any bud and I smoked the stems and they did give me a bit of a heavy buzz but that's about it. It still comes no where close to smokin some quality bud.
Shake the kif from them. Do a search on this forum as it's been posted a trillion times.
As said before...its not as good as weed.
I found it to be a short lasted high that wasn't as good as a weed high to begin with. Maybe like 10min of a strong buzz then its gone. And you gotta smoke a bit to get that. I once smoked like 7 bowls of stems and within a half hour it was gone.
LOL @ "Madd stupid shit"
I throw them in my coffee grinder and bust 'em up... I don't actually smoke the stems but i smoke the keif they leave on the lid and they get me ripped!
^ i'd suggest that, you need a good amount of stems from good bud though, not shwag stems or anything
I used a morter and pedstle to grind that shit up and I packed the kief up a smoked it....now things are complicated....I'm so fucking stoned.
I used to give my friend all of my stems, and he got plant stalks from some growers- grinds 'em up to make nice tea... Tastes great, gives a nice buzz.
i save all my stems(headie bud tho, i wouldnt bother saving them from middies or anyhting) and then when i run out of bud i just smoke em all at once, and its better then nothing
My girlfriend ground 3.5 g of stems into powder in a coffee grinder and then cooked that in butter and then put the butter into some fudge, and then finally made the fudge into some gooey fudge brownies. How many would I have to eat to feel anything? I ate two bars of straight fudge and was pretty stoned for like 3 hours, but I also took bong rips.
Also, the stems were from VERY dank weed, probably some of the dankest available in Iowa.
actually lol, smoking stems doesn't even come near even decent schwagg... o.0 i have smoked 'em... but i hate doing it, it burns the shit out of my throat, the buzz last all of 15 mins, and upon sobering up i tend to get headaches... not to mention the taste is far from ok....Quote:

save up a shitload of stems shake 'em for keif and you'll be suprised at just un-high you get..
probly the whole batch, and then someQuote:

save up those stems and after you have a decent amount make em into brownies or tea and it'll get you high

Smoke weed every day.
I smoked stems before, i was high as fuck but i mean go for it. you got got a low tolerance like 5 bowl packs should get you buzzed ha ha
I wouldnt bother smoking them unless you're grinding them and using the keif.. It's not a great high and I tend to get headaches coming off it. It also doesn't last as long as smoking some actual bud.
Yeah smoking stems is great if you want your head and lungs to feel like ass. Use them to make edibles,they usually have a great amount of trichs on them.
Stems have trichomes from the bud rubbed off on them so they can get you high, however in comparison to the bud or even the leaves they are far less potent. Personally I think the best way to get the most of them is not to seperate them or the leaves from the bud, but to just cut them (and the leaves) up into very small pieces and mix them in with the bud when you're preparing it for a joint/pipe/bong/edibles. :)
THC flows throughout the plant. There are minute amounts in & on the dried stems. The larger stems have the least percentage of THC & will give you a headache & irritate your throat & lungs the most. If you kief the large stems they work well for cooking. The smaller stems WILL get you high. It's a different kind of buzz & your lungs & throat will still be irritated. I recommend using a bong. I grind them to gritty bits (grits). Grits smoke better than powder kief. The stem bits burn much slower than bud & they expand as you smoke. I take two large pulls per hit, packing it down between pulls. After the first hit I dump the bowl out, crush & mix it & repack the bowl. Then I just repeat the two pull method again. The second hit is the hit that gets me buzzed. Many of the responses in this thread claim it takes several bowls to get high. Believe me, if it took that much effort, I wouldn't bother.
From personal growing and consuming experience I have to say the following : A: well grown herb has tricomb development on just about every surface above the dirt. B. Smoking stems generally won't give you a headache unless the herb was improperly flushed of nutes before harvest or had something nasty on it i.e pesticides, mildew, mold, bugs, or even improperly cured. C: I grind my good stems I collect over time (about a qt jar at a time) and solute in good grain alcohol for tincture :)
My take on this is... once years back i done this only because the weed had been so good the stems where a bit hairy so i thought id break um up and try um on my bong but i worked out i think the high was just from the oil in the bong bowl they smelt like bonfire and tasted harsh.......so my recomendation is to get stems from good weed get a new pipe or bong and try it thats the only way to find out....the key is to never run out of weed then u will never have to do this and if your weed is sold to u with big long trunks on this is why its running out fast....lol all buds minamal stems : )
In short, simple terms, yes. If you have a low enough tolerance (like maybe haven't smoked in a week or so) they can give you a relieving mild high, I'd say personally that I find it less potent than resin but a little nicer. People are different though, I know a lot of people who don't care for it at all. I'll definitely say that when it comes to weed and resin that it's way better to just stick with good ol' weed unless you're out of options and really want to get high.
I got a very nice 3/4 pounds of righteous cannabutter using about 40 grams of miscellaneous stems (from a dispensary; they save their stems) and 5 1/2 sticks of butter. Used 1/4 pound for chocolate chip cookies. One cookie gave a long, slow-build high that lasted about 5 hours. Curve was nice and gentle, w/ no real peak. Sorta like a gently rolling hill.
I have smoke 3 small stims, off the bud, of some super skunk, and got as blasted as I did on the bud. It however does have a realy harsh tast to it. Try it some time. Good luck, and happy Growing.
