Can you get high from stalks and twigs?

[Button Basher]

I was hanging out with some guys I just met the other day and they said you can apparently get totally leaned out for hours if you chew on or make tea from cannabis stalks and bud-twigs. It sounds like bollocks to me but can anyone verify?

Cheers!

Leaving the stuff in alcohol is a great way to get the THC out, but you have to let it sit there for 2 - 4 weeks. It isnt an instant thing, but is worth the wait.

wait so, if i wanted to get high like before school started, all id have to do is pour a small glass of alcohol and put like maybe a gram into it and let it sit for a while i could drink it like right when i get up and id be high?...would it work like using just regular beer?

[shiz507]

so like if i stuck some reefer in a bottle of vodka
let it sit for couple weeks, it would get me high and drunk?

damn i should try

[Button Basher]

Lol, everyones as confused as I am.

These guys were saying if I just pop a twig or stalk in my mouth and munch it i'll be buzzing for hours. They didn't back anything up on the tea but I think it IS bullshit.
That alcohol trick definitely deserves a look though!

[KillaBuzz]

u wood have ta eat a shitload ov stem an leaf ta catch any sort ov a buzz an even then u wood mentally prolly juss think u were high. itz not even worth tryin.
if u wanna try the alcohol thing i wood definatly recommend it. do wut rnf232s said, pop a gram er so in, let it sit fer a week er 2, then drink. u'll get the buzz frum the alc an the buzz frum the weed. u will most likely feel a strong buzz thru yer body, not so much in yer head(unless the alc hitz u). giver a try an let me kno how ya liked it.

--method#1--[green dragon]

Making drinkable marijuana or (Green Dragon):

Green Dragon is an alcohol/THC based drink. It is
very simple to make and has very pleasurable effects.

How does it Work?
Well, the active ingredient in marijuana is THC, which
is not a water-soluble compound. So, the THC has to
be extracted using alcohol and then added to food
and/or liquid that can then be entered directly to
your system through the digestive tract rather than
through the lungs. This type of consumption of
marijuana tends to be both slower and more efficient
than smoking it. Further the unpleasant effects of
smoking heated smoke are completely eliminated. For
these reasons this is the favored method of marijuana
consumption by many people.

Note:
The highest proof alcohol available should be used.
(Everclear is suggested)

Method One:
To do this you must obtain the highest proof alcohol
available. This allows for the best results. 190
proof is highly recommended.
Then one must then obtain marijuana.

Rule of Thumb: (About one half gram per ounce of
alcohol.)
Remember, the more the merrier. After one has these
materials, they can begin.

First break up the marijuana and take out all seeds.
You may leave the stems. Then open the bottle of
alcohol and pour about a forth out. This will allow
room for the weed. Then carefully add all broken up
herbal matter into the bottle. Put the cap back on
and shake. Now, store it in a safe area and let it
sit for approximately 2 to 3 weeks. After the long
awaited wait, pour the green tinted substance into
another container through a strainer. You may use a
coffee filter.
The final product is high proof alcohol laced with
high amounts of pure THC.

Note:
One may drink the product straight, but this is not
recommended. A common way of consumption is to mix
three parts 7-Up with one part Green Dragon and a
dollop of honey stirred in. Served over ice.

A faster method is to heat the alcohol to a
sub-boiling temperature and stir in the crushed
marijuana. Great deal of care should be taken if this
method is chosen, as the alcohol is highly flammable.

Note:
Use an electric stove.
OR
Put the alcohol in a pan, and put that pan into a pot
of boiling water (thereby heating the alcohol safely.)
Avoid using an open flame.
OR
Heat the alcohol with herbal mixture in the microwave
at half power for approximately 11 to 16 minutes or
until liquid is an emerald shade of light green.
This is method of heating should be a last resort.

First, heat up alcohol using any method. Then stir in
the crushed herbal blend while alcohol is at
sub-boiling temperatures and let sit. Stirring every
couple of minutes. This should take no longer then 25
minutes. Turn off stove and let cool. Then take the
product and strain it. A coffee filter works just
fine.

Note:
Use rubber gloves when straining the liquid. If you
are using a coffee filter, make sure to squeeze any
extra liquid out of the marijuana mesh; this is where
most of the liquid THC is still hiding.


Consumption Notes:

If you wish you could pour the final product into a
bowl of cherries and let sit over night in the
refrigerator. Then strain and keep liquid. What this
does is lets the cherries become saturated in the Green Dragon. One may then eat the cherries to
become drunk and high. Doses range from 20 to 40
cherries. Now, the liquid is still good, use it to
make mixed drinks and/or other methods of consumption.
(Consider making Jell-o shots.) Enjoy




--method#2--[Bhang]

Items needed
2 cups water
1 ounce marijuana (fresh leaves and flowers of a female plant preferred)
4 cups warm milk
2 tablespoons blanched and chopped almonds
1/8 teaspoon garam masala [a mixture of cloves, cinnamon, and cardamon]
1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 to 1 teaspoon rosewater
1 cup sugar

Bring the water to a rapid boil and pour into a clean teapot. Remove any seeds or twigs from the marijuana, add it to the teapot and cover. Let this brew for about 7 minutes. Now strain the water and marijuana through a piece of muslin cloth, collect the water and save. Take the leaves and flowers and squeeze between your hands to extract any liquid that remains. Add this to the water. Place the leaves and flowers in a mortar and add 2 teaspoons warm milk. Slowly but firmly grind the milk and leaves together. Gather up the marijuana and squeeze out as much milk as you can. Repeat this process until you have used about 1/2 cup of milk (about 4 to 5 times). Collect all the milk that has been extracted and place in a bowl. By this time the marijuana will have turned into a pulpy mass. Add the chopped almonds and some more warm milk. Grind this in the mortar until a fine paste is formed. Squeeze this paste and collect the extract as before. Repeat a few more times until all that is left are some fibers and nut meal. Discard the residue. Combine all the liquids that have been collected, including the water the marijuana was brewed in. Add to this the garam masala, dried ginger and rosewater. Add the sugar and remaining milk. Chill, serve, and enjoy.
