The process involves extracting cannabinoids from the often-discarded parts of the cannabis plant, specifically the stems, through infusion in hot water. These stems, while less potent than the buds, still contain residual cannabinoids that can be utilized to create a mild, relaxing beverage. The preparation typically involves simmering the stems in water, often with the addition of fats like milk or butter to aid in cannabinoid extraction. The resulting liquid is then strained and consumed.
This practice offers a means of maximizing the use of the cannabis plant, reducing waste and providing a low-intensity consumption method. Historically, various cultures have utilized different parts of plants for medicinal teas and infusions. The technique aligns with principles of resourcefulness and sustainable consumption, allowing individuals to experience subtle effects without necessarily resorting to more potent methods. The resulting beverage offers a potentially relaxing experience without the intensity associated with smoking or edibles.
