Easy Recipe: How to Make Weed Tea

In the ever-growing world of edibles, cannabis beverages have become more popular as of late. We’re seeing more sodas, tonics, lemonades by the day. One type of infused beverage that has been seeing a surge in search interest lately are weed teas. Let’s talk about how to make them.

What is weed tea and how do you make it?

Weed tea is simply tea infused with cannabinoids. Most weed teas are infused with THC or CBD, the two most well-known cannabis compounds, but you could also use their non-psychoactive precursors (THCA, CBDA). Weed teas are excellent for people who want to enjoy cannabis’s wide range of benefits, but don’t want to smoke, dab, vape, or eat edibles for the effects.

Jimi Hendrix - The Bluntness

The record Jimi Hendrix listened to on his first acid trip - The Bluntness

Jimi's legendary first trip

Picture the scene: it’s January 3rd 1966, in New York City, and a young Jimi Hendrix has just sent his father in Seattle an Empire State Building postcard admitting that the grass is not in fact greener on the other side and “every thing so-so on this big, raggedy city”. Although he doesn’t know it yet, Hendrix’s life is about to change seismically with the introduction of LSD.

Having spent four years residing in the Big Apple as a permanently broke musician, Hendrix had experienced his fair share of Black juke joints and clubs around the continent. Despite the gruelling nature of the ‘chitlin circuit’, comprising venues in the eastern, southern, and upper Midwest areas of the United States, Hendrix honed his craft by borrowing crowd-pleasing techniques from T-Bone Walker and Buddy Guy. A couple of these antics included the signature Hendrix trick of playing guitar behind his head and with his teeth.

Before You Pack: How To Travel With Cannabis

Legalization has made a lot of progress over the past few years, however cannabis remains federally illegal in the United States, which can make traveling with weed a bit confusing depending on where you’re going and how you’re planning to get there.

If you’re traveling from legal state to illegal state, legal state to legal state, U.S. to a different country, or any other iteration, the rules may vary greatly for what you can and cannot bring.

Mangoes and Weed: Can You Boost Your High? It Depends...

Building a high cannabis tolerance is common among seasoned smokers (or consumers in general), but rather than taking a dreaded tolerance break, it might be just as easy as incorporating mango and weed into your next smoke session. 

On their own, mangoes are a tropical stone fruit high in fiber and essential vitamins like Vitamin A, C, and E. They’re also not known for having any sort of psychoactive effect on consumers, so it might sound strange to hear that some people utilize the fruit to increase the intensity of their high.
