You MUST be correct, stinky (you are SO smart!). So hot water is OUT for extraction purposes!

I was going by what my mom reported back in the 1970's. She couldn't stand to smoke, so she made "tea" out of my pot stems to help her sleep. I'll BET that she was just enjoying the warm liquid and just THOUGH she got some benefit from the stems (like the placebo effect, only with soothing warm water thrown-in!).

No wonder WikiPedia doesn't want "personal research" (like mine with my mom's "tea"). It isn't reliable or reference-able. I'll try to filter my "wives' tales" and "moms' tales" in the future!

There are plenty of places I can check my "facts" before I post!
