It depends on what you are looking for. If it is a euphoric high, stems are a waste of your time. If it is pain relief and sleep, stems may be your best friend.

The cannabis oil that I've extracted from stems using hexane was uniformly rated potent and stupefying by the volunteer test groups. No euphoria reported, but a potent analgesic and sedative.

It produces relaxation, followed by slack jawed drooling, as OD approaches, as opposed to speedy euphoric highs.

In the tests, sleep soon followed, but not before a general relaxation of the bodies smooth muscles, resulting in lower blood pressure and sometimes a bowel movement.

It also makes a potent topical. I add .7 grams each of cinnamon bark oil, cinnamon leaf oil, and liquid gum myrrh to each hexane or butane extracted 10 grams of stem oil, plus 8 grams of virgin coconut oil and 2 grams of Emu oil, as a spin off of Exoduses Holy Anointing Oil.

The topical pain relief of muscle and joint pain is fast and profound.
