try to save as many stems or leaves or shake, or whatever u have when ur dry, get a coffee grinder and a pollen press, grind up ur stems or whatever, collect the pollen, put it in the press wait 8 hours check that mada fucka and u should be flying with sum dank hashish.
I'm saving up my stems for some tea.
Pollen is not what gets you stoned - THC and various other cannabinoids are. The amount of THC in leaves and stems in very very low, but I guess this could be done if one was desperate enough and had hours upon hours to deal with the frustration........
And "Tea" - THC is not soluble in water, only in fats and oils. You would be better making some cannabis butter - sautee some butter and herb in frying pan and there you go!
stems taste nasty, i tried getting high off of them and i couldnt!!
Haha, everything summed up in one post.Quote:

Pollen is all the trichomes and THC off the female cannabis flower, but some times when using the coffee grinder method u get impurities, mostly just a lil bud.Quote:

Not a bad idea about the stems and stuff though, but I have tried something like this before. I grind up all the stems and shake, and on the sides of the coffee grinder lid would be all this dust. I just collected that and smoked it. It was horrible! If you do it this way, it is mostly stems dust grinded down to a powder, which is no different than just smoking stems.
You want to collect all that dust all the sides, then use a silk screen to sift thed kif through, but if you do that, there is no need to grind up the stems.
If you want just the kif from the stems, the kif is on the outer layer of them, not on the inside, so if you grind them, then sift it, you will get mostly stem dust again.
The best thing to do is to take your stems and shake, put it in the freezer for 30 minutes (that helps loosen the trichs from the plant matter) then shake the stems/shake through a silk screen method, and you'll be left with a much purer form of kif.
Anyways, it works though if you're that desperate, but save yourself the headache and don't smoke the stem dust. :)
i use a kief box. place all the stems and shake on the top with a rock. shake it up a bit and you got kief on the bottom.
or you can make bubble hash which is more involved but you get more out of it.
Hey, and did you know that both air and light destroy THC? So, when you're trying to smoke stems and the like, remember that they have a low THC content, (less than .06% THC in the first place) and storing them in baggies or boxes or anything still destroys THC. The longer you have stems, the less THC they have, and they barely have any to begin with.
I know it's tempting when you're completely out of weed, but smoking stems really doesn't get you high. I admit the placebo effect might, but it's not THC. Stems just simply don't have enough THC in them to get you high, even the second you break them off the bud, if you were to smoke them, you still wouldn't really get high...
So, just hold off until you can get more or maybe try resin hitting your pipe.
