Hey Lemmings! Need some advice on making weed tea. I’ve noticed some recipes call for decarbing the weed before infusing it into the tea, while others don’t mention it at all. Has anyone tried both methods? Any noticeable differences in potency or taste?

Update: I decarbed a small amount of flower, probaly less than 0.5g , at 115 c for 30 minutes. After that I boiled it with 300ml of water and 2 tbs of butter for 30 mins. As the water evaporated I kept refilling the water.

Can’t really say that it was very potent, maybe not enough flower, or not enough boiling? Wouldn’t recommend based on this experience. Next time I’ll just make cannabutter and put that in the tea.

    Switching to vaping is one of the best things ive done for myself as a cannabis consumer both for health and finance. The cheapest dry herb vape i’ve seen is vaphit for ~35$ , if you can go a bit higher Dynavap B series is 50$ and if you keep an eye out the dynavap m+ goes on sale for 60-75$ occasionally. If you like the style of those kind of vapes a high end one I have my eyes on is the Anvil

    I began the journey with the arizer air max which is an excellent electronic vape. The Air Max is a bit pricier than torch based vapes but it offers precice temp control with little to no chance of combustion. just turn it on and set the temp and you are done. Believe it or not its actually way cheaper than the highest end electronic vapes like mighty+. You can get it on sale around 150$ again just keep an eye out. Desktop vapes like the extremeq are also very good options but less portable requires an outlet or portable power bank. Managed to get my extremeq to work with usbc-PD through a special cable which is quite cool.

    I recommend pairing a vape with a bong of some kind it doesn’t have to be filled with water just something to let vapor travel for a bit, the orb v2 is an awesome bong that lets you use two vapes at once with a whip!
