What’s the point of buying weed if you can’t use all of it? That is unless you have some ideas for what to do with those stalks and stems. They’re not tasty, but there are still plenty of good uses for them. Luckily, plenty of people have been in your shoes before and posted numerous ways on the internet for what to do with your weed stems.
They might not be appetizing, but they can come in handy if you grow or buy a lot of weed. If you’re reading this article, it means that you probably bought some weed recently. But did you know that the main parts of the plant that aren’t as useful as its leaves and seeds also have their positive uses? In this blog post, we will outline three different ways in which weed stems can be used at home.
What to Do When You Have Weed Stems
First off, we should mention that although the stems are not as useful as the leaves, they still contain THC. However, the amounts are lower when compared to the leaves.
In addition, the stems are often tougher than the leaves, which means you’re likely to get fewer servings from the stems when compared to the leaves. So, what can you do with those stems?
Weed Stem Oil
A great use for your stems is to make weed stem oil. To do this, you’re going to need to decarboxylate your stems first. After that, you’re going to need to pour boiling water over your stems. After you’ve strained the stems from the water, you’re going to need to heat the water again.
This time, you’re going to add some more oil, a few cloves of garlic, and some thyme leaves. You’re going to let this sit and cool down before pouring it into a jar.
You’re then going to let the oil sit for about a week before straining it through a cheesecloth and storing it in a glass jar. You can use this oil to cook with or melt it down to make a salve.
Weed Stem Tea
Finally, another way to use your weed stems is to make a weed stem tea. To do this, you’re going to need to decarboxylate your weed stems first. After that, you’re going to steep your stems in boiling water for about 30 minutes.
You can add some lemon and honey to improve the taste and make it more palatable for daily use. As well as make a big batch of weed stem tea and then keep it in the fridge for up to 1 week. You can then drink this whenever you feel a migraine or headache coming on.
