Cannabis Kief Tea

Discussion in 'Marijuana Consumption Q&A' started by MarsColonist, May 26, 2022.

    I was reading a book about cannabis this morning, and it says one way to use your kief your grinder collects is to add it to your morning tea or coffee.

    I'm wondering a few things about this... does it get you high just like you would feel from smoking a joint? Is it as simple as measuring out 1/2 teaspoon (or some similar measurement) and dumping it in your tea and stirring, or is there more to do? What measurement of kief put in your tea would give you an equivalent "high" sensation as you might get from smoking a joint?

    Your kief would need to be decarbed to get you high. Once it's decarbed you can add it to your beverage and it should work. Kief is probably about 50 % THC so a gram has 500 mg THC. A quarter gram would have 125 mg THC. To decarb heat in a 240 F oven for 40 minutes.

    It seems peculiar to me that you could just dump the kief in an ordinary cup of tea because I had the impression cannabis products had to have a fat source present in order to activate the THC. (For example: people mixing the cannabis buds with peanut butter, spreading on graham cracker, and baking in oven to make edibles).

    Why do you need the fat source (peanut butter) to make the edibles above, but in the case of kief & tea, you can just dump the kief in your tea as you say (after decarbing)? I mean there's no fat in tea... unless you add it in.

    By all means use some cream in your tea. It seems you already know the answers, mate.

    This is the decarbing step.

    No, I don't know the answers... that's why I was asking the questions. I'm not sure if you are feeling offended by my questions, but no offense was intended.

    I typically have a strong preference for plain green tea without cream or any other fat, which is why I was asking if there is some difference with kief vs regular flowers that, for some reason, you didn't need a fat source and could just have it with tea as the book seems to say. (Or maybe the book is assuming "tea" would typically include cream? I was thinking of green tea, so I thought we were just talking about plain tea with nothing added... which is how I normally have mine).
