Well most people don't bother with stems. Myself included. Some people just chew on them or save them up to make some food with them. If they get you as high as punkrockzero then for sure pack a straight bowl of stem. If they get you as high as me then pick the stems out and hit nothing but bud. I've smoked stems and it was a trace of a very short high, the smoke was rough and more painfull and the taste was less than pleasent. Try a bowl of stem and see how you like it, you might rush back to leafy buds with a lesson learned but who knows. Enjoy.
