Weed Tea. Am i doin this right?

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.

Yo dude, i would never make weed tea, or bronies i figure i'd get higher smokin it, hash brownies maybe or mushroom ones are awsome, same as mushroom tea, but i figure waste not so i just eat all the shrroms usually

well dude, i dont think thc is water soluble so.....yea....you just wasted some herb :'( .... i coulda smoked that! >.< lol peace

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.

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.

Sorry Dingo.
Ive disgraced the Cannabis Gods forever.



just playin.

if i done this wud it work
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

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.

wud u rathereat a yogurt or tea coz the hash yoghurt sounds easy nd am scared incase a use all me weed in the tea nd it dont work ndwot r te effects of a yoghurt will a c things by usin it this way

hey,silent smoker,u mind typing complete sentences so we can all understand wut the fuck ur saying?

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.

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

Hella dumb - need to add milk

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.

why not just leave the herb in the cup and drink the little peaces?

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.

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.

stems seeds and bud in watter and let it boil and if u want just ad some reg tea

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.

Heh heh, posting this made me want to make the tea it again...so I did. It doesn't work in fifteen minutes....it works instantly. :stoned:

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

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.

Try mixing it with green, black, or white tea too.

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.

The More You Know...
:jointsmile::hippy:

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"
