I dug up a question on a post from a few years back https://www.rollitup.org/toke-n-talk/736-cooking-how-make-cannabis-cooking.html , the question was asked whether THC extractions worked with stems...
I did an experiment where I saved up all my stems over the course of a year, I gathered about 6 grams of stems. (Mind you 6g is ALOT of stems for a non grower
). I created an extract oil with it using a ratio of 3 oz of stems for every 1 oz of ever clear. (Taken from any standard oil extraction recipe of 1 oz of bud: 1 oz of everclear, I simply adjusted the ratio to account for THC differences)
6.0g on the dot
I then used a mortar and pestle to grind the stems into a fine powder and I added that to the everclear and let it sit for one week in a small 1 pt jar. I then simmered the oil in a pan until all the alcohol evaporated (use extreme caution alcohol fumes are flammable). When its done you should have a thick green liquid almost boiled down to nothing. I had a very very very small amount of oil, which was suprising since it took me a year of heavy smoking to get this many stems.
I made a spoon from aluminum foil and poured a few drops in and held it over a candle flame. Just grab a straw and suck when you start to see the little white vapors form. Me and a friend smoked almost all the oil in one session and I got higher than I have ever been, so in the long run...
"YES you can do very potent THC extractions from purely stems, however, you must account for the differing levels of THC in the stems compared to the buds. "
