I have heard so many varying opinions on whether or not smoking stem can get you high, I have never personally tried only stem and am wondering if anyone has?
 
Stems still contain trace amounts of THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids, so theoretically if you smoked enough you could get stoned.

However from personal experience (I have smoked stems alone during desperate times with no bud) I must say that all smoking them really does is give me a headache accompanied by a mild body buzz, at best.

Not to mention the taste is disgusting.
 
^^Yep. If you smoked a shitload of em you could probably get buzzed, but it would be fucking nasty and you'd probably be sick and get really dizzy from all the smoke....

Still know people that do it though8)
 
They have the actives in them, albeit in low quantity, so yes, in theory you can get enough of them into your system to cause an intoxication by smoking. It is a better idea to make some cocoa instead for example (assuming you have enough stems). Just boil the properly cut stems in fatty milk for an hour or so, add cocoa powder and drink it up.

You'll most likely get a placebo/sugar/caffeine buzz. Smoking the stems would get you a small, quick noticeable buzz.

The thing is, you can fit quite a bit more stems into a pot/kettle than you can into a pipe or bong. I would say it's smarter to save those stems until you have enough to get a proper effect from oral use. Smoking stems is probably the unhealthiest way to consume the cannabis plant, those stems have perhaps the lowest concentration of actives to plant matter being second only to maybe the roots. But it is possible to separate those actives from the plant matter, resulting in a healthier product.

What this poster says is true. So why not make a tea with your stems instead?
I like to save mine up then gently simmer with milk and butter to absorb it all, need quite a lot of stems maybe thats just me though lol
 
Make hash oil from the stems, and it won't murder your lungs like smoking that shit will.

Yes with a fairly large amount I can see your point.

If you can stand smoking them I guess you could get high eventually.

After about 2-3 hits the cherry gets massive and you get massive hits that make your bowl super hot but the massive hits are harsh as hell but give a fairly mild buzz.
 
^ that buzz is most likely from the blood rushing to your head from coughing, IMHO

+1..
 
Thanks for the answers, I've decided not to smoke them but making a hash oil or boiling them in milk sounds ok I just don't know how to do it?
Are there any really good recipes you know of?
 
There's trichomes on the outside so you will get some effects but since there is no thc inside the stem it will be a crappy high like smoking pipe resin. I'll usually vaporize stems if I'm running low on weed since they usually are covered with tons of trichomes.
 
I used to save up stems until I had 14g+ of stem. I would save it in a plastic jar. When I ran out of weed I would shake the shit out of the jar and then skim up the crystals that stuck with my finger. Works pretty good actually. Definitely got me high. You really need a lot of stems though.

Wow now that's some perseverance.
 
Well I used to like to mix in a couple a big ol seeds when i smoked stems. Stems n seeds, stems n seeds. Get it like franks n beans. :-):-)

Seriously bad idea smoking them. Dont bother saving em either. You get caught with that shit they think its same as bud. Imagne goin to jail for a bunch of stems. No thanks.
