MJ tea recipes

THC is only soluable in alcohol or oil, many who make the tea, steep it in a bit of butter or oilve oil or mineral oil in the hot water and keep stiring it around as they drink it to get the best effects of it.

Marijuana leaves can be boiled to make a weak tea. Even the leaves of immature plants have a slight effect. However, the leaves of mature plants have a stronger effect.

THC is only very slightly soluble in boiling water. Adding either some alcohol or some oil 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.

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
