Question About Marijuana.?
I am curious to see if anyone has tried this. Can you make marijuana into some type of tea. The major problem most people tell me about are that it inhibits the brain (but so does alcohol and that is legal), and that it is bad for your health (which I do believe, but only because of the smoke). But that there are times when it can be good for your health (especially in glaucoma, though I hear it works for other diseases and pain).
I wonder then, if you make it into a tea (thus removing the smoke and therefore a major contributor to its health problems), does it still work for the other diseases and pain as it did when it was smoked? Does it still work on the brain like alcohol does when in tea form? And of course the most important question, can it be made into a tea (by running hot water through specially prepared leaves or leaf fragments from the marijuana plant)?
ya use it exactly like u would with tea, heat it up nice and hot, u’ll be laughing at infomercials for hours
There are alot of books at the bookstore that are “Marijuana Cookbooks”. They have a variety of recipes for making food with hash in it to alcoholic drinks and teas. Check out your bookstore, usually in the plants/botanical section, if not there, try cookbooks, but I’ve seen them in Borders’s in plants section. Try Amazon.com also, they have alot.
I found this:
Marijuana leaves can be boiled to make a weak tea. Even the leaves of immature plants have a slight effect. However, the leaves of mature plants have a stronger effect.
THC is only very slightly soluble in boiling water. Adding either some alcohol or some oil to the mix will help the THC dissolve. An ounce of whole milk or a half ounce of hard liquor to a cup of boiling water increases the tea’s potency quite a bit. A chai-type drink, made with marijuana leaves, spices, butter and milk would dissolve even more of the THC.
Making tea by just boiling the leaves will not release as much psychoactive THC. Since marijuana’s pigments and terpenoids – the components responsible for its flavor – are water soluble, this tea looks and smells more promising than its effect will be. However, these non-cannabinoids may also have medicinal properties, as could other water-solubles.
You’d be better off making pot brownies I think!
