An End Note:
The reason for heating cannabis in a fat (or alcohol) is to release and activate the Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which does not become psychoactive in water alone.
Also, the more specific information you have about the cannabis used, the better able you will be to begin discovering your own dosage levels and cannabis strain preferences. Thanks to hard won legalization efforts, precise measures of THC, CBD and other cannabis elements are now being clearly shown on product labels.
Experiment, take notes and have fun! See the tea as it simmers in this video from our Cannabis Test Kitchen.
