    Default Does anyone make anything from the stems

    Ok so trim and fan leaf will go into making squidge but Ive read stuff about decarbing the stems and making tea ?

    Anyone done this ?
    Whats the tea like high wise?
    Any better ideas for using the stems ?

    I really like the idea of nothing going to waste but Ill bin the stems if its really a waste of time.

    Yeah, I boil that up and use the spiked water to make chamomile tea. No high, just knocks me out cold. The smell is herbal but not weedy.

    I have read about chopping them up and slow cooked in oil (coconut, olive etc) into pastes and balms. That is what the CBD Brothers say their balm is made. Their balm is surprisingly good for blemishes, small cuts or minor irritations. Basically everything that your antiseptic cream from the chemist can do, it does a better job of.

    BUT, I have also read that the stems actually absorb the CBD, yet I have also read that stems have a higher concentration of CBD.

    Thanks Valentina, my wife is suffering with insomnia and other issues so something like the tea might work out well.

    Is it like one whole plant stem for just one cup of tea ?

    I used about 12-15 twigs that were about the same thickness as spaghetti, at about 5 inches in length, bring to boil and simmered for a few minutes. Enough water for a standard mug.

    Sorry to hear of your wife's sleep troubles. Hope she gets better soon.
