Big stem collection, what to do...
    #5524749 - 04/17/06 12:39 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Well, it's been nearly a year now since I've started collecting stems (though I haven't taken the collection TOO seriously and have thrown away many stems) and I've now reached 18g's of stems. My first thought was to vaporize them... But this is a big collection of something I would have thrown away anyways. Now I'm considering preparing them for oral consumption, specifically by allowing the THC to absorb into alcohol (the only name for this I've seen has been "green dragon"). Finding recipes has been no problem, except they all involve using actual bud while I only have stems. How much more stem would it take to contain the same amount of active chemicals as say a gram of bud?

it really depends on the strain, so its hard to say. But I have a buddy who had a pretty nice stem collection and he told me he was going to make a tea with them, dont know exactly how he was going to go about that or if he even did it though.

it's a whole cocktail of strains in there really... I know that a fair chunk of that is from white widdow and a decent bit from blueberry, other than that it's mostly just a mix of random indica and sativa strains. a good bit of it also came from mexican brick weed which would deffinitely lower the overall potency of the collection, but for the most part they're all from good quality bud...

If I were to make tea then I'd just make bud butter. incredibly milk-filled or butter-filled tea just sounds repulsive...

I've never actually cooked with cannabis before, but from what I've read my first impression was to make brownies...and maybe just double your dose since they're stems?

what about making, I think it's called "honey oil"? the THC extraction with butane is what I'm trying to think of.

Can anyone find the percentage of active ingredients in the stems compared to buds, as this is pretty important for me to determine an appropriate amount to use, I searched google but was unnable to find any sites listing the THC distribution throughout the plant or anything similar...

Baraka made some quick iso hash and posted a great thread with pictures. He got a decent yield from it as well. And I started collecting my stems as well. Once I got over 10g it just got painful to always bag them, lol. I think I have about 13g. Your 18g impresses me!

I leave lots of "crotchy" bits in there. You know, nodes with bits of bud in there. I wanted a decent, couple gram yield mostly for bragging rights. I have some 70% iso, and I know there's not much of a difference between 70% and 90%, but I want to get the most, smokeable product out of this.

I couldn't find this thread though. My connection keeps messing up and timing out. Dammmmnnnnn. But when someone posts it, we should both try it and see what the heck happens.

Have you ever thought as a hearse drives by
That someday soon you to will die
They wrap you up in a bloody sheet
and toss you down 1000 feet.
The worms crawl in the worms crawl out
The ant play pennuckle in your snout
The big black bug with big red eyes crawls in your innards
And out your sides
You squish him up, spread him on bread
That's what you eat when you are dead

I like to ground the stems into a pepper-like consistancy, and boil it(drink the small amount of mushy shit thats left along with the tea). 18 grams should trip you out pretty nicely that way.....

I dont care about thc solubility in water, this method works great.

stemmer, I've tried that 5 times, never got anything from it that I wouldn't brush off to mere expecting something different to happen causing me to think something might be different, and by that I mean I didn't get anything other than feeling slightly relaxed which could have been for many reasons

Its not like smoking pot, It more relaxing than it is a high, unless you use 18 grams..........

It works for the same reason eating buds works well.........

I can feel only a few grams in tea, it isnt placebo thats for damn sure. Its simple, just consuming cannabis is all. If you cant feel it, well im not sure why that would be. If you eat a dime of dank weed it is very subtle also, but the effects are obvious and easily enjoyed, much like stem tea. One whole eighth of dank weed consumed orally fascilitates relaxation, and a subtle high that lasts a good few hours. I wouldnt expect much from stem tea, but if you are using 18 grams of stems, you certainly will feel it, get high, or you might even get pretty tripped out.

Whether or not it does or doesnt work is not an issue. It does work. Why? because you are essentially eating the stems, just like if you were to eat some weed. If you dont enjoy even 5 grams of stems made into this type of tea, then well, its just not for you.

SOrry, dont know why after 5 times you cant tell if you are feeling it or not.

once ate 4g's of bud plain, and I didn't feel that either, and by no means do I have an exceptionally high tolerance or anything, and it wasn't cheap bud, it wasn't the highest quality but it wasn't the worst, I was not the only one to take part in this, we gave up and just smoked what was left

SO what are you trying to say??? Eating weed doesnt work for you?

Eating weed doesnt work?

Dude, most people would easily feel(get high off of) 2 grams of weed orally. SO I dont know what you are trying to say, or why you seem to not be able to notice the high it provides.

Dude, I've eaten weed that was simmered in water and butter for 3 days and the amount of bud per cookie was about a gram. Ate half and got rocked... thought it was a fluke and ate another half a different time and got ripped out of my dome.

A LOT of ingesting weed has to do with preperation, not to mention weight, percentage of fat, metabolism and what you've eaten. I'm always careful now.. hell, last week I ate a different batch of cookies, again, half a cookie and actually greened out for the first time in years lol.

I'm guessing that I'll find a good recipe for green dragon! Don't want to waste this making oil and potentially messing up. I'll make a thread of bump this one once my lazy ass gets around to it :smile:

heres the deal, thc soluised in alcohol hits the bloodstream FAST. so id say pickup a half fifth of everclear and soak your full stash of stems. let it sit for 1 wk. strain out your stems then shoot it. 1 shot at a time. ifyou dont feel anything within 20 mins take another shot.

well... I was thinking of just getting a big old bottle of rum and just making a big batch, take it one shot at a time and then if the weed hits too much before the alcohol then I'll just buy more rum and thin it down a little until a happy concentration of alcohol/THC is found
