One of the smartest shroomery members I've ever met saves stems. He does a butane extraction and gets some pretty potent hash oil.

I found using only stems for oil isn't very potent. But Im sure if you did a very very good extraction with lots of stems its doable. BTW what a dumb thread haha. How to suck them dry? Hmmm.. haha no offence dude.

This guy usually waits until he has stems from about 1/2lb of herb.
Butane extraction freaks me out. One spark and you're in a fireball.

I know a guy that would save until he had a quarter pound of stems. He would then soak them in a gallon jar full of 90% isopropyl alcohol that he got where he worked. he would let it soak for 3-4 days. then he would strain through a pair of panty hose into another gallon jar. he would close up the resulting liquid in a cool place for the next week. while that first jar was sitting he would refill the jar of stems with alcohol again for the next week and then strain it the same way.
in the end he would pour the 2 gallons of alcohol together slowly over a double boiler, until all the alcohol was evaporated off. it left a nice gummy greenish brown substance that would absolutely WRECK your plans for the day. He got a nice yield from it too.

someone said it already but what i do when im desperate to get high and i cant really scrape any resin from anything, i just take some stems and put them in a pipe and lightyl puff away the thc thats on the outside of the stems(thast really the only place where thc is located on a stem btw) then ill flip them over and do the same thing until theres just a bunch of black burnt mini sticks, it does give u a mild buzz.
man you guys are talking about extraction from alcohol and boiling and straining and letting things soak and wat not. thats sounds like to much damn work just smoke the outside of the stems!

Extraction is the way to go if you dont look at pot like it's crack. if you can save your stems til you have a good amount then the way i suggested is the way to go.
If you are someone that will save the resin in a bowl just so you can scrape it out to smoke, then what i suggested is not for you.
I for one would rather clean my bowl at least once a week so i dont smoke dirty stale tasting smoke. And no, i dont save the resin. i usually soak it in alcohol overnight and take a pipe cleaner to it.
Take that resin smokers, i like to smoke my sugar coated lookin popcorn buds through a clean pipe.
If you want to dig in my trash for shitty resin coated pipe cleaners, have at it. Maybe instead of digging in my trash you should knock on the door though. I could smoke you up with some nice kind if you play it nice.

I save my stems and when my stem jar is full I plan on making hash, but I've been saving them for a looooong time. I smoke resin myself when I'm out of green.

I am an end consumer in the weed chain. But the guy above me isn't the usual next to last in the chain guy. He is a best friend. he will do the above once a week.
Let me tell you, if you have the patience to do the same, no matter what level consumer you are, it will pay off. Not to get into detail, but from a 1/4 pound of stems i have seen 30 gram balls of sticky goo. Result may vary based on potency of original grass.
Now is that really too much work MR hooper?? an ounce of THC goo for just a week and a half of work?

lol ok ok snakeman you have convinced me! thats just not my regular method of getting high or obtaining large amounts of thc in general for that matter. ill just save my stems forever and when i have enough, such as a quaterpound which you implied is enough, ill come to you for advice on how to get an ounce of thc goo! deal? hahaha

Another great way!
Take a PVC pipe and cut a small hole for the tip of the butane canister (must be able to push the nozzle inward to allow butane release!) (rofl, release)
butane fills the pvc pipe and condenses/cools to liquid/ice form this makes the THC crystals brittle and break off more readily. (swirling or sidways shakig may be a good practice, but don't spill!)
im not too sure, but you pour of the butane into a dish to let it evaporate and leave the THC behind

Wow, I like that panty hose part, seems like a good improvement. I'll pass it on. And yes, this stuff does wreck you (ITS HASH!!)
