I have a bunch of stems and need something to do with them. I have herd of stem tea, and
was wondering if i could get some input from ppl who have done this before or know
something of it. How many grams should i use, and the process i should do to make the
tea?
Any help would be nice, thanks.

what i do with my stems is i put them through my grinder so i get all of the trichomes off of them, then i just throw the stems away.
for the tea tho... water + store bought tea + butter + weed .... thats what id assume... but hell if i know...

what are you going to do with the butter. i would think you would empty out a normal tea bag and fill it with the stems staple them shut and let those mo foes soke in boiling water

THC isnt soluble in water.Alcohol or fat must be used,hence the butter.I would use peanutbuter though and make a warm choco peanutbutter shake and then cool it and consume.That actually sounds good.

I'd use the alcohol method ( mix stems in some isopropyl alcohol * ungrinded * and allow for it to mix together and release and potential smokable matter ) it would be smart to shake often so as to get smokable constitutes and prevent it from becoming plant matter, let the resulting " weed goop " evaporate * which might take some time * or strain stems out and allow the goop to dry out, and smoke the resulting goop ORRRRRRRRstick to the Chocopeanut method posted above.
* Ive actually never tried that method, but it sounds hella interesting.

I havnt tried it either.It does sound good.I wonder how much weight in stems it would take to get a substantial dose.It would most definitely vary on the weed type.

Has this "assumption" worked well for you in the past with the alcohol extraction?Did you use isopropyl alcohol?If so what was the end product like as in flavor and consistency?Did most of the alcohol evaporate?

Just soak those stems in everclear for a few days, then strain out the everclear and evaporate. You should have some fairly decent smokable THC putty. Use a hot knife or lightbulb to smoke the putty.

1) i have personally never tried this method although i have read about it ( more than likly erowid ) 2) Iso is the easiest to obtain and is proven effective during extraction methods 3) the flavour and consistancy vary from method to method , although i can advise you as i read on how to obtain the best results

Are we smoking the putty or vaporizing it?Im asking because you mentioned a lightbulb.

Well im sure a higher % and proof alcohol would produce a better final product.Iso would be the easiest to obtain and the dirtiest end product.150-190 proof would probably be the best.

dont be so sure , you may be obtaining alot more than you bargined for with that Everclear , like harsh plant material ! so iso may be the best way to obtain the Smokable putty ( haha like that name ) while saving yourself from the plant matter

Yeah, use 190 proof. I usually place a little ball of the putty into the lightbulb and heat it with a torch lighter until I see smoke. Then I suck the smoke out with a straw. I prefer to use a spoon or knife to do this though, it works just as well with less effort.

Why would using ISO not produce plant material in the final product while something of a higher proof would?This doesnt make sense,there should be no plant material left in the final product if the solution is filtered properly.

I think he means chlorophyll. I have used everclear before and it leaves a fairly clean product if filtered right.

Either way,why would the better quality alcohol produce a dirtier product?
What type of filter do you prefer?Cheese cloth?Cotton?Synthetic cotton?

Just gettin back to my thred now after a little puff, and i like the penutbutter idea, it sounds tasty.
Someone told me that if you take stems and put them in vodca for a day, then strain it when its done, and drink it. You get fucked up.
I dunno if this actually works or not.
MushroomChris, your way with the everclear, could you use some other type of alcohol, and how would i evaporate it to get my puddy?

i have 14 grams of stems and plan on using the ISO method. if i am reading correctly, i don't grind the stems? i just put them all in a jar with iso alcohol and let soak for a day? and then filter the next day and evaporate the iso alcohol?

"THC isnt soluble in water.Alcohol or fat must be used,hence the butter.I would use peanutbuter though and make a warm choco peanutbutter shake and then cool it and consume.That actually sounds good".
If you dont want to fuck with all that preparation id suggest the following, even though on other sites people have had a problem with it in the past, usually because they think they are really fucking smart even though they have not tried it. Stem tea works even if you dont grind up the stems, but it hardly works. I grind up the stems and simply boil them for a long time. It leaves the water murky and full of almost miscroscopic stem plant matter. Then drink it along with the little sludge that is left. Its the same as eating a shitload of stems. THC, not being water soluble has little to do with why this method does or does not work. So thats one easy way to do it.

I would atleast use some 140 proof rum or something. I evaporate mine on a plate placed over a heating pad on the lowest setting.
I should have some pics of my next batch tommorow...
