Regardless of what many say you can in fact smoke your fan leaves....This is of course depending on the potency of your plant itself and the stress it endures. You may be thinking whats he mean by stress? well as we all know wild cannabis does not grow its buds just for looks or just the convience of some stoners to smoke, Its a defense mechanism to fight against bugs and such. So when a plant is introduced to stress it then produces a thin layer of THC on its stems and even ITS LEAVES!!!!. Yes of course fan leaves to not contain the amount of THC to get you high off your ass but with the right proccess you would be surprised of the results.

During my grows ive always smoked the fan leaves and ive also tested the various ways to smoke them. Weather the leaves contain the most THC or is it the Stems? If you look on the underside of a fan leave you can see a shiny layer which is in fact a small layer of THC, Ether way if you properly dryed fan leaves making sure you of course cut off the stem so it doesent have a supply of water you can smoke it. One of the best methods ive found is this.

1. Dry them out until they are crspy, and i mean so that when you bend them the stem and all snaps. You dont want any moisture.

2. Put them in a grinder and grind them up then throw a good old dime or quarter in the grinder.

3. Get the "leaf Keef"

Ive found that this leaf keef is actually much more potent then just smoking the leaves(of course) This is by far your best way to get anything out of your leaves. I dont suggest male leaves although if you make the keef with them im sure they would still do a little something.

Anyways I hope you guys learn to love fan leaves and get the most out of your plants! Happy Smoking!!!

Idk man. I don't think there is any need to do that is you know how to grow enough to last till your next crop, but that's my opinion. Good Luck with them leaves though, Ill give you the benefit of the doubt my friend.

I completely get what your saying, But why not use them? Indians would kill the wild buffalo and use every single component of there being, due to respect for the animal.

I have heard of juicing leaves. I hear it actually has a lot of medical benefits for cancer patients.

Every time I have smoked leaf (like 3 very desperate/dry times?) it was just a headache. What is your experience/effects with smoking leaf keef?

Yeah, that's true, I saw a vid of a guy that makes hash out of the leaves I didn't know you could do that.. I don't know much about BHO though, we don't get that here much.

EDIT: Interesting thread OP, you get a like for that.

Ive never gotten a "headache" from fan leaves in my life. It just sounds like a superiority complex people have with there tolerance. Leaves are generally used by cancer patients as a source of CBD drinks by juicing them in my personal experience Its definitly more of a stoned feeling, you definitly can feel the more underlined effects with the leaf keef. They also help allot with stress ive found out in some cases, They leave kinda a lingering chill.

Nasty harsh smoke, if you wanna use your fans then make tea and brew them with it, when I was younger and first started growing I ate them like it was lettuce. Now I compost them or let the Kitty's eat em.

I don't see myself grinding up fan leaves to smoke but I have been leaving a bit more leaf on my bud to cure & finding out they add flavor & potency. After a month or two in the jar the sugar leaves seem to smoke the same as bud.
