Hi I have searched near and far and have not found a good tea recipe. I had a few great cups when I was in Amsterdam and since I have been searching to re-create that buzz. Thanks for any all and any and all and any ol' help.

I was hoping someone who's actually tried it would post a recipe but I've done some searching on the net and one recipe keeps popping up:

Like other herbs, 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 common black tea; approximately an hour and a half. Add 1 tsp. of butter. The effects are
similar to eating it.

I've seen this exact recipe on many marijana related web-sights but other than that I have no proof of it working. Use at your own risk.

On a whim I decided to try making tea. I ground some herb (pretty high quality) and put it in a cup with some butter. I then added boiling water and a little cream (wouldn't have bothered with butter if I knew I had cream). I let it sit like ten minutes and gulped it down. 20 mins later I feel very relaxed and like the high is coming on slow. I'll update later on how it went.

Well, it wasn't a total failure. I basically got a sort of relaxed feeling, much like the one I got the first few times I smoked weed, before I got truly high. I think there are a number of reasons why it didn't work nearly as well as smoking:

1. Ingestion is just plain out less efficient.
2. Should have ground weed more finely. More surface area means more of the cannabinoids dissolve easily.
3. Should have let it sit longer and kept it hot somehow.

Another reason is that I kept anticipating the effects, which usually diminishes them. Mind set is important. Anyway, seeing as I have a cold, I'm not about to smoke anything, and it tasted really good so it wasn't a total loss. I would only try this again if I had a ton of weed that cost me very little, like say if I were growing my own.

I had a lot of seeds, stems, and shake. I could have smoked the shake but instead I decided to fill a coffee filter with the various weed pieces and ran it though a coffee maker, no coffee involved. I ran the same water through the maker again and then I added instant chai tea mix. I added sugar, poured it in a big cappuccino mug, and logged onto marijuana.com (no kidding!). It really worked and was really easy to do. None of this simmering business. I suggest trying it with your favorite instant tea mix or teabag.


Peace.

I thought you had to burn pot or heat it up in fat to get high off eating/drinking it...

Regardless, i say make some real tea, and smoke a spliff I am not a fan of drinking marijuana flavored water

Uck, i just made some tea.

First boiled water (duh), took tea bag, cut it open, dumped tea, put weed in, stapled shut. Then took like 1 teaspoon butter, put that in. Then put in bag, stired, and squeezed bag periodically for half hour. I am now drinking it, and it tastes horriable.

mix your chopped weed with some brewing tea and use a tea seeper (metal ball on a chain with holes in it), use real brown sugar to sweeten and stir with a cinnamon stick. Using all three of these suggestions should make the experience more enjoyable.
