Weed Tea. Am i doin this right?

[vapoorize]

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.
