Don't Toss Out Them There Stems!...

    I know a lot of people under value stems. Trust me : they're useful.
    Often, when I'm dry, I'll vape [with a Vapor Genie pipe] some of the stems I have saved up. Earlier today, I made two firecrackers [edibles] with about a quarter gram of stems, some slightly vaped, on either cracker.
    I'm pretty fuckin' stoned at the moment, I must say. Note, I toke [usually] daily, and make edibles about once a month. Thus, I have a decent tolerance.

    What are your experiences in regards to vaping/eating stems? What uses do you find for stems? Discuss.

    Yeah, if you've ever run stems through a grinder and shaken it a fuck load you'd see how much kief you can get off them

    Why couldn't you?

    Whole stems in a jar, quickwash them, evaporate, done. That's what I do when I fill a mason jars worth.

    That is not keif. That is powdered stems.

    Grinding stems is the worst thing you can do with them.

    Any trichs are on the outside making grinding pointless and actually worse than if you left them whole.

    ^Fact.

    I usually chop my stems up real fine with scissors and mix it in the bud I just broke up, lol

    I like to shake them in a jar and scrape the kief off the sides. There's a shitload of kief. Or qwiso.

    Stems + Grinder = Me unhappy.

    Curious..why is that? Because the glandular heads of the trichomes become damaged when grinding?

    Pretty much all the trichomes on stems is on the outer skin.

    i makes qwiso with my stems. takes forever to get enough though. like a year and a half before i will use it. lol
     
  15. #15 jizzledfreq, Aug 30, 2012
    I smoked about 3 bowls of stems and actually got pretty damn high. Not as high as fresh buds obviously, but it was quite nice :D
     
  16. #16 8ight, Aug 30, 2012
    yea, i'm sure i could do something useful with my stems, but... i'd rather just vape bud. :)
     
  17. #17 big_rudy101, Aug 30, 2012
    So you think half a gram of stems would be sufficent for a single firecracker?

    Depending on your tolerance. As previously stated, mine is fairly decent, but it's not like I eat cannabis daily. Edibles have their own tolerance due to the fact that baked cannabis releases a non-THC psychoactive chemical that isn't active when simply smoked.
    I think part of the reason my firecrackers were potent [to the point of getting me to a 6-ish on the stoned scale] is that I only put a quarter of the gram on either firecracker. This meant that the vegetable oil/peanut butter only had to absorb a smaller quantity of THC than usual.

    Thus, my advice is to make as many firecrackers as possible with the least amount of stems possible on each one. Overdoing the amount of crackers would be a bad idea, however, because then the crackers and peanut butter would be in your stomach and a lot of food [fat] absorbs THC at a quicker rate than if you had a [almost] empty stomach.

    I've got too much access to weed to worry about stems...:wave:
