Cannabis tea
Cannabis tea
Cannabis tea (pronounced: /ˈkænəbɪs tiː/), also known as marijuana tea or weed tea, is a type of infusion made from the cannabis plant.
Etymology
The term "cannabis" is derived from the Greek word kánnabis, while "tea" comes from the Chinese word té. The combination of these words refers to a beverage made by infusing parts of the cannabis plant in hot water.
Preparation
Cannabis tea is typically prepared by steeping the leaves, stems, seeds, or buds of the cannabis plant in hot water. The active compounds in cannabis, such as THC and CBD, are fat-soluble, meaning they need to be consumed with a fat source to be effectively absorbed by the body. Therefore, cannabis tea is often made with a fat source like butter or coconut oil.
Effects
The effects of cannabis tea can vary greatly depending on the strain of cannabis used, the amount consumed, and the individual's tolerance to cannabis. Generally, the effects can include relaxation, euphoria, and altered perception. It's important to note that the effects of cannabis tea are typically milder and have a slower onset than other methods of cannabis consumption, such as smoking or vaping.
Medical Use
Cannabis tea is often used for its potential therapeutic benefits. Some people use it to manage symptoms of chronic pain, nausea, and anxiety. It's also used by some people as a sleep aid. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks of cannabis tea.
Legal Status
The legal status of cannabis tea varies by country and state. In some places, it's legal for both recreational and medical use, while in others it's only legal for medical use or completely illegal. It's important to check local laws before consuming cannabis tea.
