I Just Realized I Never Take The Stems Out Of My Weed.

Discussion in 'Apprentice Marijuana Consumption' started by Health, Jul 12, 2014.

  1. I've been reading a lot and it seems everyone does it. What am I doing to myself by NOT taking out the stems?
     
    Would I have a better smoking experience if I removed the stems?

     
  2. If it's really dank weed I leave the smaller stems in.  :confused_2:
     
  3. Yeah if its high grade, they usually chop most of the stem off and whats left has enough kief to make up for taste.
     
    But some of that shwaggy crap you get telephone pole sized logs in it. I even asked a dispesary budtender once if she could trim some of the stem off and she said no so I passed on that one (it was bottom shelf anyway -$5 a gram). 
     
  4. I don't bother with the really tiny ones, but I pick mine out as I smoke. Dont break it all up, leave it on stem til ready to smoke.

    ....................................................
    I dont do drugs, I set plants on fire and breathe.
     
  5. I tried putting them in hot chocolate with butter. It didn't get me high. I have to find something to do with my stems now. I'll probably just save them and smoke them when I'm out.
     
  6. who smokes stems? shits nasty and you get a headache, and not really a high

    Make qwiso out of a lot of stems and smoke that instead
     
  7. You shouldn't just 'add' them to butter. You're supposed to extract the thc into the fat in the butter, and then just add the butter to whatever food you're having.
     
  8. If your rolling a joint or blunt the stem could poke holes.in your joint or blunt. If its in a bowl or bong... idk, nothing lol. Stems arent a life hazard to pot heads.

  9. I only take out the big stems that are noticable, but my grinder usually busts them up into lil pieces but they have alot of keif on them so I dont even bother.
     
  10. Ya I melted the butter to liquid with the stems in. I used the microwave. Maybe I should have used a pan?
     
  11. wtf?
     
  12. I break the bud off so I don't get little weed explosions when chopping
     
  13. Or maybe do some research on it beforehand.

    Sounds like you are buying tiny buds. Big buds have stems that require removal. I like big buds and I cannot lie!
     
  15.  
    One of the buds I have has a big stem. I take that off, but the little ones inside I get frustrated dealing with those so I just grind it up.
     
  16. LOL you mean with scissors?
     
  17. Id like to say that ive found the headache myth to be false. Ive done my own testing, and i smoked 2 entire bowls of stems. A lot of fucking stems. Felt a slight buzz, though i think it may have just been the oxygen deprivation, but absolutely no headache. 
     
    I dont know what you guys think the science is behind that but its definitely false. I wouldnt advise smoking them though it tastes gross.
     
    I just chop my stems and rub them on my grinder screen before either chewing them up or just tossing them
     
    Ive never tried vaping stems. 

    and your grinder will destem most of it for you just grind it then pick the stems out. no need to get your greasy fingers allover your nug

  19. Yea
    And people, stems are rubbish, stop being so stingy
     
  20. My stems go in the trash, makes the smoke harsh. Got a nice collection of fat roaches though.
