So yeah. Pick on me if you must but I've never taken a proper dab. I've smoked lots of hash off pins and in joints and shit bit never did a dab.

Anything to compare it to? I've been completely out of my mind on edibles and shit so I'm not scared, just curious haha.

I see girls on instagram and shit ripping dabs all day and being barely phased. Then I see this old guy who can't tell he's sitting down.

-I grind up my bud (don't need more than a 1/2g of medical quality bud)
-toss it in the oven at 310F ish for about 15 minutes in a pyrex dish or something
-take it out, lightly coat the plant matter with coconut oil
-Heat water, add herb, simmer it just under a boil for about 20-30 minutes

Usually near the end I add creme and the usual ingredients for chai tea, just for flavour. Add some honey and consume.

I know most people will tell me that with the coconut oil n' boil method you don't need to decarb your weed in the oven or anything but I've tried both ways and feel using the oven first is the preferred method ( jus my opinon)

Thanks dude I had tried previously but never really had it work. I like edibles a lot but never wanna use all my shit on it. I'll have to experiment because I just want a light high that'll last most of my day. I'll try a half gram and see how it goes.

Fuck, I gotta get some flower.

Edit: could you go about this with a loose leaf green tea?

I don't see why not, chai is just black tea and 5-8 spices depending on where you're from. Honestly just pot tastes fine by itself with some honey but I don't see what would stop you from adding green tea at the end to help the flavour. I guess just try not to use a tea that is too strong in caffeine, that would be my only suggestion - but really you can use whatever kind of tea you like, I'm sure, I just use chai out of personal preference and availability in my home.

Right, I was really just concerned with the loose leaf part, but I think it doesn't matter. A better question is could you use concentrate to make the tea? Maybe adapting a milk/cannaoil mixture.

Concentrates would be easier to make it for sure.  Just have to make sure you dose it properly or you will be in for a rough ride.  The leaf matter absorbs some of the oil and with such a small amount of material, it might be slightly wasteful compared to concentrates.

You will need to decarb it for sure.  I personally wouldn't use a high quality concentrate to make it. Would rather just smoke it lol.  I think using some of the lower grade stuff when making bubble hash would be perfect.  Sleepaid's method is nice because it is inexpensive to make.  I don't think the blend of tea makes much difference, just really for taste.  I personally prefer my tea pungent rather than sweet. 

The thing you need to think about is the decarb.  Water boils at it hottest 212f without being under pressure.  If you do not decarb the material beforehand, you will need to boil it for much longer to make the THC active.  I find it easier to decarb beforehand. 



This chart just deals with THC.  At the higher temps, CBD and other terps will evaporate as well.  So in theory, if you want something more stoney, use a lower temp over a longer time. If you want something racey, use the higher temp with a lower time.  This will be strongly dependent on your strain though.
