Cannabis tea

Cannabis tea is a type of infusion made from cannabis plants. It is consumed for both recreational and medicinal purposes. The tea is often made from the leaves and buds of the cannabis plant, but can also be made from the stems and seeds.

History

The use of cannabis tea dates back thousands of years. It was used in ancient China and India for its medicinal properties. In India, it is known as bhang and is often consumed during the festival of Holi.

Preparation

Cannabis tea is typically prepared by steeping cannabis buds, leaves, or stems in hot water. The heat activates the cannabinoids, the active compounds in cannabis, making them available for absorption by the body. Some recipes also include other ingredients, such as honey, lemon, or spices, to enhance the flavor.

Effects

The effects of cannabis tea can vary greatly depending on the strain of cannabis used and the individual's tolerance. It can produce a mild to moderate psychoactive effect, similar to that of other cannabis products. However, because the cannabinoids are absorbed through the digestive system, the onset of effects is typically slower and longer-lasting than with smoking or vaping cannabis.

Medicinal Use

Cannabis tea is often used for medicinal purposes. It can help to alleviate symptoms of chronic pain, nausea, and insomnia, among other conditions. It is also used by some people as a natural remedy for anxiety and depression.

Legal Status

The legal status of cannabis tea varies by country and region. In some places, it is legal for both recreational and medicinal use, while in others it is only legal for medicinal use or is completely illegal.
