So now it looks like a good way to make weed tea is to grind the bud, wrap it in foil and put it in the oven for 110 minutes at 110c. Then mix it with some butter, then make the tea with this, by putting it and near boiling water into a French Press?

After decarb boil it in milk or cream for 40 minutes ish. Strain add to drinks as required gonna taste a <deleted> load better than butter

Don't think so, 

Decarb instructions I have is heat ground MJ wrapped in foil in an oven 110c for 110 minutes. Or quicker 210c for 30 minutes. Then mix with food/butter/oil. 

Spot on as usual. Also the most important step if ya gonna consume it at full potency.

Is the making of cannabis tea, assuming the source or result is greater than 0.2% THC, considered an extraction process?

 

FWIW, the MoPH has been back-pedalling in recent days re: banning recreational use.

 

Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul reiterated the government’s cannabis policy, saying his ministry supports the correct and safe use of cannabis for medicinal purposes. He stressed that recreational use of cannabis has never been encouraged, with an announcement by the Ministry of Health recently prohibiting misuse.

This could just be posturing. I guess they could revert to medical only, but maybe he's just slowing the anti-cannabis clamor until the Cannabis Control Act and the associated boards, committees, agencies and ministries subsequently issue their "rules". Note that some have already started issuing rules, re: importation of seed and plant stocks, for exmaple.

Hopefully the horse has bolted to far for them to pull it back in again.

But do you not have to heat the weed and fat together for quite a long time in order to extract the THC?

Can you not boil milk and cream? Lol seriously though I'm not into all the science of it. If I wanna get ripped there's easier ways. Just offering suggestions.

Delivery containers must be new.

She's right but at that price give us a break.

I might be reading it wrong but it appears she wanted a bowl so she wouldn't be eating out of the take away container. I don't think the delivery container was used JT.

To experience the euphoric effects of getting, the THCA in the cannabis plant must convert to THC through a process called decarboxylation, which requires heating. This happens naturally when you consume cannabis through smoking or vaping. Heat also helps CBDA convert into CBD, the major medicinal component in cannabis.

In edibles, decarboxylation takes place when the cannabis is cooked, usually with oils or butter. The fat serves to bind the cannabinoids and extract THC from the plant matter.

THC needs something fatty to stick to under high heat—that’s how we separate the good stuff from the plant material.

Thats for the full whack for people who like cooking with it. I'm guessing that full cream milk or even cream would be fatty enough to hold some thc which would be more palatable for the tea drinkers. 

I know about the bud and oil thing but my Mrs has been drinking mull tea for as long as I have known her. I don't partake as I would rather just punch a bong if I'm having one.

  She however swears by it basically just a big old handful of leaves and some bud in a teapot and let it sit. It works for her but may just be the placebo effect. She enjoys it so I'm not going to poo poo her vibe.

  Also being fully aware that THC is fat soluble I'm assuming if you just ate a big handful of buds you wouldn't need any fats for them them to get you high so maybe for the non heavy pothead there is some residual effect maybe?

Yes, the link says that you heat the cannabis in fat (butter) first, and then add it to the tea. That is the only way to extract the THC.

Yuk, tea with butter in it!

Is full cream milk not fatty enough? And if it's not tea many people use coconut oil in coffee now. Or keto coffee is full of butter.

So people think it’s ok to get a raggedy used bowl.  Just because the food is only 10 baht. 
Let’s use an example that a lot of people here will understand better. 
Let’s say you went to a bar or wherever for your cheap beer.  And the mug or glass you were given had smudges and chips all over it.  I bet you would be flipping out over that. 
 

 

Let's get this real clear. A bar serves you on the premises. You sitting on  your arris at home should be eating your take away meal in the container provided. Not trying to score free crockery of a <deleted>n business. Who you kidding?

What she hasn't got her own bowl at home....poor thing

Why? It's legal. In that context makes it no different to coriander.

 People should of course be made aware by the proprietor that the food may or does contain ganga. Outside of that no additional permissions should be required.

The only reason to go to PH is to go to Walking Street in Angeles for a week and then leave. 

3 or 4 days in Angeles used to pull me up couldn't stay any longer than that.

You're just on the wrong place. Get on the bus to Barretto, Olongapo, nice beaches and restaurants. 

Nice beaches? Olangapo? Average at best I had a house there for a couple years it's certainly better than Angeles but not by much.

Legend has it that the famous "Mullumbimby madness" was from a strain of Thai buddha that was grown in Australia. It's also the reason Aussies call their pot mull, and love to mull up lol.

The letters not 4 years old, that was the date I started to receive my lifetime pension and tge monthly amount only increases as COLA are added. It is a Defined Benefit pension. Look that one up, very rare these days.  Here's your definition of what it is.

 

A defined benefit (DB) pension scheme is one where the amount you're paid is based on how many years you've been a member of the employer's scheme and the salary you've earned when you leave or retire. They pay out a secure income for life which increases each year in line with inflation.

Even better. Thanks mate.

I wonder if my Pensions, annual Verification of Income letter which includes the following will be accepted. Cut straight from the letter.

 

"Our records indicate that: • The participant began receiving a lifetime Defined Benefit on October 05, 2018. The current gross monthly benefit amount is $xx,xxx,xx"

 

You wanted someone to discuss a pension so here you go. But why should I list how much it states. It is over 80k a year is all that's needed for your edification.

Ok so first off fantastic awesome you are doing well. I doubt many if any would also be receiving such funds 

  Now to play devils advocate...lol. it seems some people are saying it must be a pension. Which to me would indicate solely funds paid by a government paid as a pension.

 I dont know nor care if your "defined benefit" is that. Secondly and if I was to nit pick that letter is 4 years old lol your principle could have reduced substantially in that time your monthly gross benefit could be one or even two zeros less than that now. It would be unlikely I imagine anyone would accept a 4 year old letter as proof of income for something that has not yet even open for applications yet ????. 

  Seriously though this is Thailand I think anyone over 50 earning an amount at least equal to the qualifying amount such as yourself should have no issue at all. Personally I see almost zero benefit outside possibly fast track privileges at Suvarnabhumi and as such will continue my yearly pilgrimage to Savannakhet. 

 Something to ponder in the few years till I hit 50.
