  • Cannabis Tea

    Something I have been interested in for several years is cannabis tea. I live in a village with loads of pensioners who cant stand people who grow and smoke weed, but they grow for tea. They grow this seeded, low grade stuff and freeze it with seeds leaves and all and then use it throughout the year as a tea. There is a variety of recipes they use from tinctures to leaves steeped in tea, but the people that I have spoken to swear by it.

    I supply a local elderly lady fresh leaves every fortnight and she makes a tea, and it actually makes her high, and gives her the rest and sleep she is looking for. So we all know that leaves do not produce THC, but its found on leaves beacuse of wind and gravity through the flowers.

    15 years ago I met up with Dr Ben Dlamini, an activist and ex-education minister in eSwatini ( Swaziland ) . We traveled a couple days with him and one thing he swore about was that a cannabis leaf steeped in hot water every morning was his secret to a long and healthy life.

    There is benefits to the leaves, especially fibre, vitamins and minerals. But interested to know more about the science behind the “cannabis tea”. Yes people make tea using flowers, but I see many elderly using just the leaves, and to them, it works!! Lets discuss.

    Well right off the bat, I have to say that indeed cannabis leaves DO make THC and all the other goodies, I have bags and bags of sugar leaves in the freezer I intend to make hash out of, they are literally crusted in resin.

      I’ve found cannabis for chronic pain works best for me when I steep decarbed bud with something fatty like coconut milk or butter in the tea. Without the fat, I don’t get much effect. One time I just tossed in flower and it barely did anything. Now I simmer it gently for about 30–40 minutes and strain it out—it definitely makes a difference in how well it works for pain relief.
