It will not work with water. You can simmer cannabis in whole milk if you think you would like that (it is called Bhang, and certainly works).
How would I do this.
take, one serving (X) ,whole milk, (you could use butter milk and skip the butter.)
a little butter for good measure,for thorough extraction like a 1/2 tsp or something,
add (X) ground nugs
simmer for 30 min, add milk as the level drops (like a tbs or 2)
strain through cloth
add sugar
drink
be high
goes well with chai tea mixes
seriously man, when you break/grind it up it will be back to its same, big amount.
who cares if you sat on it its still the same amount ground up.
you buy it to smoke not to stare at
