I'm a new medical marijuana patient in California, and I've wanted to try to make some teas but every recipe I find asks for a lot. Even if it only calls for low grade stuff, for one serving that's still far more than if I were to be smoking it!

I always thought cooking with cannabis was a far more efficient method of getting high, or am I completely wrong with that assumption? Most of the recipes I've read call for anywhere from a gram to an 8th or more, and it doesn't look like in the end they serve much more than a single serving. Even when using lower quality bud that's a lot of money for just a one time use!

Is there something I'm missing here? Most of the recipes don't actually say how many they serve, but I usually assume just one. I'm smoking on a daily basis and I know that is not healthy so I'd rather make it into tea, but if it is less efficient I can't do it.
