Marijuana Tea

Like any other herb, marijuana may be made into a tea. Boil the water first and pour it over the marijuana. Let it steep for longer than you would for ordinary tea; approximately an hour and a half. The effects are similar to eating it. It is easy to make marijuana tea and can be combined with mint or any other herbal tea flavors to enhance it's taste.

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."

Even the leaves of immature plants have a slight effect. However, the leaves of mature plants have a stronger effect.

THC is only slightly soluble in boiling water. Adding either some alcohol or some oil such as Pot Butter, 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.

Tincture

To prepare a tincture, use 5 parts fresh marijuana to 1 part vodka. If you are using dried marijuana, as is usually the case, use 10 parts marijuana to 1 part vodka. An easy way to do this if you don't have measuring equipment, is to fill whatever container you are using (glass is preferable as you don't want to leech any residues from metal containers) two thirds full with herb, then fill the container with vodka and let stand for a week or more. Afterward, strain the solution. If you use a larger portion of herb, the resulting tincture will be more potent.
