Do you get high from smoking marijuana stems?

Answer 1

You can smoke the stems, however you will not get as much smoke, and the smoke is harsher and tastes not so great. You need to smoke a lot of stems to get high, and when you buy marijuana you usually don't get many stems (unless you know the grower and he can give them to you!). Stems are not very desired among marijuana smokers. So, you can smoke them (often called a "stem bowl") but you will not get very high unless you smoke a lot of the stems. ;)

Answer 2

Then entire marijuana plant contains THC in different potency. There also exists excesses of other chemicals in various parts of the plant. Because of the way the plant grows, there is the highest THC content on the delicious nuggets produced by the plant and less THC (and more other chemicals) on the stems.

That being said, the stems do still contain THC--it is just often difficult and unpleasant to smoke them and you'll have to smoke much more than if you where smoking bud if you want to feel any effect and the smoke is harsh and disgusting. . I recommend making stem tea! Look it up online, it's really easy to make--Just remember: THC is oil based and will not dissolve into water (oil and water don't mix) So any time you want to extract the THC from weed you need a fatty substance (fat = oil) So that's why whole milk is the bomb.

...Or you could just smoke them... It tends to give headaches because it is comparable to smoking wood. If you open a stem you will notice that is mostly composed of a woody substance so there is much more plant matter than anything else. Some people like the stems, however I find them to taste really funny (like hotdogs!). I say try it at least once. Beware you will be getting mostly carcinogens and tar since it is mostly plant matter.

A good method of smoking stems, if you have no way of making tea or honey oil, is after you have picked the stems clean of any remaining bud grind up your stems in a manual grinder and shake it over the screen. Depending on the potency of the stems, you will get lots of fine crystal in the bottom chamber, leaving all the stemmy woody fiber insides in the middle chamber on top of the screen. The grinded stems should be very tiny and you will probably have like a bunch of stem fiber also. The best manual grinder to use for this is a sharpstone, because it has the very sharp teeth required to grind stems and the proper chambers required. Smoke the crystal in the crystal chamber and the rest of it (other then all of the little tiny bits that fell to the bottom but are too big to go through the screen) is not really smokable. I'm not entirely sure what to do with the stemmy woody fibery insides that's left over in the middle chamber, I'd just throw it away. It may be possible to save that up and make tea/honey oil with it, you may be able to cook with it as well.

Make certain that you use a grinder with sharp teeth and holes that the stems can fall through onto a screen. Your grinder should have three chambers, the top chamber has SHARP teeth with holes for the grinded product to fall through, the second chamber is empty (lined with a screen mesh at the bottom) and where everything should fall into after it's been grinded and the bottom chamber is all of the little bits (mostly crystal) that falls through the screen. DO NOT use an electric grinder as it will grind everything up into a fine powder which defeats the purpose as this does not separate the crystals from the insides.

Answer 3

I think so because a couple of friends of mine made an omelet with chopped up weed leaves and they got stoned after they ate it.

Not likely. However, smoking the stems could. The stem itself has very little to no TCH.

It does collect a residue of thichomes. Your high, if smoked, will not be as strong as the bud, but, it is guaranteed to give you a sore throat. It depends on how desperate you are.

Answer 4

It's conceivable, but they don't taste very good.

Answer 5

Yes
