Questionable deletion

edit

This article needs deletion or change to Cannabis Tisane instead of Cannabis Tea. Tea always refers to the Camellia Sinesis (tea plant) and Tisane is the appropriate word for an herbal decoction. Cannabis Tea would need to be a separate article describing cannabis that has been infused into tea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hempista (talkcontribs) 23:47, 27 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

This article, describing the infusion of cannabis in water, was deleted on disputed grounds on 20 August. The article has been rewritten and one earlier version has been restored to comply with the GFDL. --Tony SidawayTalk 22:26, 20 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, is not souluable in water. For a tea, it must either be in a fat solution (whole milk is commonly used in Indian "bhang" along with spices and of course cannabis) or an alcohol solution (wine was purportedly used by the ancient Greeks, the alcohol only serving as a vehicle for the THC)

The Cannabinoids article indicates that THC is only one of ~60 "active ingredients", and that other cannabinoids may be water-soluble under specific circumstances.

This article: http://www.drugs-plaza.com/recipessimplecannabistea.htm states you can make cannabis tea by adding a small amount of butter. I haven't tried it, however if it is true it could be worthly adding it to the article. I don't like tea with milk and I might not be the only one :) --Rikva 16:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I don't know why this was labelled NPOV, since it isnt specified here, but I am removing it and suggesting a merge instead of a deletion and have this redirect to Cannabis (drug). Flying Hamster 22:52, 21 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Despite "tisane" being a correct technical term, in actual use the terms "marijuana tea" and "cannabis tea" are way more common. Goonsquad LCpl Mulvaney (talk) 05:03, 1 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

hemp leaf tea contains no THC

edit

article says hemp tea is usually made from the leaf. Hemp leaf tea can be bought legally over the internet. Female hemp flowers and - in varieties cultivated for high THC content - leaves surrounding female hemp flowers contain THC, but no other part of the plant as far as I am aware. Male hemp flowers also make great tea. Plant stems make bad tea, impart a bitter flavour. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.236.40.86 (talk) 15:37, 16 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

misleading info re cannabis as an abortive

edit

I edited the bottom of this article re Ancient Childbirth. Upon reading the cited "communication" it became clear to me that the inclusion of cannabis in a midwife's report of abortive concoctions could not be for abortive impact. There is no corroborating research or history of this usage. However, there is ample history of the usage of cannabis in managing pain, assisting with childbirth, and reducing the morning sickness associated with pregnancy. Additionally, there are many studies and evidence that children born of pregnant mothers using cannabis, experience no harm. I edited the article's addition of an abortive concoction made of several herbs including cannabis, cited in the communication because this particular list was singled out among all the others cited in the communication which had no cannabis in them. I believe this is a likely attempt to mislead readers to think that cannabis tea is dangerous for pregnant mothers, it included a claim that cannabis is an abortive used in 2nd and 3rd trimesters, when in fact, there is ample evidence that cannabis does not harm a fetus. I don't know how to add resources to an article, and this is the first time I've edited a wikipedia article. But I've tried to use facts from this piece, if anyone can add the reference: https://www.nature.com/articles/525S10a#:~:text=The%20earliest%20use%20of%20cannabis,Chinese%20book%20of%20herbal%20remedies Thank you. 2603:8000:E1F0:7DA0:DDDF:9E4:2E2A:FEED (talk) 23:32, 2 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

There is an entire article: Cannabis and pregnancy. The "no harm" stuff is completely out-of-date. Bon courage (talk) 03:26, 3 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
