How to Make Marijuana Tea
Marijuana tea is an alternative way for patients and users to consume marijuana that does not involve smoking. Not only is this easy to prepare at home, but its also a healthy alternative by using ingredients like tea, milk, and honey.
Tea drinkers know that a warm cup of mint, chai, or green tea provides a different therapeutic experience. Since the active ingredients are absorbed through the digestive tract, the effects are delayed and tend to be longer-lasting. The effects of marijuana tea are felt 30-90 minutes after ingestion and can last 4-8 hours long.
When brewing marijuana tea, a fat or oil must be added in order to extract the THC. You can also make a non-psychoactive version of marijuana tea that will not get you high. Here is a step-by-step guide for a great cup of marijuana tea!
