Smoking Leaves And Stems?

Discussion in 'Marijuana Consumption Q&A' started by SMOCATRON, Jul 21, 2014.

  1. I saw some video on Rastafarians and they grinded up the weed with leaves and stems and rolled it straight into a joint. How much THC is in leaves and stems and how high can they get you? I know they're rough as shit to smoke, but I've never liked the idea of throwing them away. It seems like such a waste...

     
  2. Some rastas smoke for spiritual purposes. Not to get high. Smoking itself is an act of communion for them.
     
  3. Some stems carry trichs/thc on them. Same for leaves. at the same time some do not have much in them at all. I'd suggest making qwiso from stems or leaves
     
  4. I don't pull out stems unless im rolling a joint and that is just so no holes get poked in the paper on acident. I have also smoked a bowl of only stems, and some people complain about headaches i didnt get any. I got a decent high off the stem bowl, but it wasn't my favorite; the taste was gross.
     
     
  5. How high can they get you?
    Depends on the quality of the plant itself.
    Being Rastas, I'd assume they're in Jamaica.
    They've got from low to mid quality but some of the stems and leafs around the bud could have some trics so you could perhaps get a buzz if that's all you smoked.

    I'd prefer to smoke resin than some damn stems.

  6. Don't bother smoking stems, unless you like having a headache. An old dealer of mine once told me about back when her dad was a teen it wasn't uncommon for people to grind up leaves and smoke them. They'd have to smoke shit loads just to get a buzz. But I guess they didn't want to waste trim and maybe hash wasn't a commonly known thing.
     
  7. I'm guessing you're talking about how they didn't pick out the leaves or stems. Probably just grew up smoking it that way.
     
  8. I like to peel my stems and smoke the skin instead, thats where the most trichs are.
    the centre probably has a little thc too but its tastes terrible and just isnt worth imo..
    if you want you could keep the peeled stems to make tea if you really dont want to waste anythign
     
  9. Let me tell you something bout Rastas.  They don't give a fuck.

  10. I don't have a screen on the bottom on the bowl for my bong. I keep the stems to use in place of a base nugget

  11. When I was new to smoking this guy gave me a long ass stem that was soft and looked like one of those dandelions literally I thought he was playing me it got me and 3 other people BAKED. Def an indica
     
  12. Weed and stems have little active thc. Rastafarians consider herb sacred. So they wanna use all the plant matter

  13. I'd say save those stems for when you are out because that is what I did. Usually I'd smoke the stems and then when I'm completely out scrape resin. The stems do have as much THC as brick weed and can get you high.

    guess im not the only one who does this. Works well for smoking the last few bowls of your stash with all the shake.
     
  15. I have some stalks from last year 8 feet long. I dont think they would smoke very good.
     
  16. haa awesome yeah sometimes stems are just loaded up with trichs, dont throw out your stems !
     
  17. I save stems and leaves for times when that tiny bit of THC would actually get me high. This could be after a tbreak and I just really want to smoke but not go buy herb or on a trip.
     
     
    Fan leaves...nah.
     
    I do eat everything I make edibles out of though...even all that plant material left behind. That feels much more sacramental than smoking for some reason. Make it into cheese dip sometimes. It's very "planty" ...or make some eggs that way. Smoothie, etc. Gotta get creative :p
     
  18. I smoked with a rastafari once, they have a strange way of rolling their weed..

  19. Leaves are O.K.
    Stems will probably give you a headace. But if you save enough stems you can make some decent hash or kief..
