This week we got a request on a DIY vaporizer, and here’s what the stoners at WeedPornDaily could come up with. Fair warning: You’re as safe as your process and the money spent. And you’re only spending about $5 here, so don’t expect a Volcano. Also, don’t leave this around – you’ll look like a crackhead.

Making marijuana tea is a very simple process. THC isn’t soluble in water, so you will have to make a cannabis extract. The easiest, safest, and most legal method is a cannabis butter or oil extraction. We have a guide for that too. You could also throw in a cannabis tincture, cannabis honey oil, etc.
You will need:
Water
Tea leaves or bag
Cannabis Extract(Cannabis Tincture, Cannabis Honey Oil, Cannabis Butter/Oil, Edible, Hash)Optional:
Sugar
Honey
MilkDirections:
- Boil water to simmer ~10mins
- Remove water from heat.
- Add in tea + milk*/honey/sugar/etc ~5-10mins
- Then add in your cannabis extract.
Best when served hot and approached with caution. Or let cool before serving.
*If adding milk, do it slowly. Microwave the milk if possible, warm milk won’t curdle.
We’ve compiled a list of all the movies featuring marijuana, prominent use of pot, or simply stoner protagonists. Clicking an underlined name takes you a page with animated GIFs we’ve made of the film. Most are known as “stoner” films:
Each week we dig into the WeedPornDaily FAQ and extract some stoner knowledge to share. This week we learn about bongs.
Where do I buy one in my town?
Smoke or tattoo shops usually have tobacco smoking tools(bongs, pipes, steamrollers, bubblers, etc). Cigarette stores and some corner stores have cheap glass and metallic bowls(~$5). Or if you know of any hookah smoking lounges, they usually stock stuff beyond hookahs.
Google is your friend (: It should pick up where you live and map out smoke shops in your area.
Where do I buy one online?
EveryoneDoesIt for purchases in the UK. They’ve got some quality products and great brands, like ROOR. They also sell cannabis seeds.
AquaLab is dope, and their prices are fair. Most of the artists/brands they stock are in high demand(for good reason). You can find some of their products in local head shops, where you can haggle them down. ROORs/illadelphs drop from around $500+ to $100. But that’s if you can find them.
TheDabLab is neat. They offer lesser known artists to get their glass online. It’s run by the A+ TV dudes I believe, they review the glass on Youtube.
HighPriorityGlass has a nice range of affordable glass and crazy custom pieces. It’s the Nuggetry-affiliated shop.
GlassQ is cool community too. You can request for custom glass blowing, and even see the artist create it via video streaming. It seems the easiest for any glass blower to get his product out to the people.
What bong should I buy as my first?
I highly recommend an “acrylic bong”. The plastic bongs are the cheapest, last longer than the cheap glass ones, and hit almost as good as $100+ straight neck bongs. I’ve had one for 2 years now and I prefer it for it’s portability and durability.
I got mine for ~$25 bucks and it gets me higher than anything rolled. It also supports glass bowls, so you’re able to replace the metallic ‘default’ bowl. And the glass bowls are usually bigger.
This is my acrylic baby, for reference.
Glass is always the best choice over acrylic if you can afford it. You get what you pay for with glass. The higher end of the pricing range($1000+) start dipping into the “art” category, where the exorbitant prices are justified because the glass is considered an art piece as well – rather than simply a functional smoking device. Glass blowers are artists at the end of the day, and they make their living like any other artist, selling their artwork – or in this case – glass bongs, pipes, etc.
Please be conscious of your local legislation and it’s regulations on growing cannabis. Even if it’s legal there are many guidelines to follow.

And for ADVANCED growing techniques that dispensaries use:
An Overview of Cannabis Training (ScrOG, SoG, FIM, Supercrop, LST, etc.)
Overwater their medium based plants. When you pot your plant, judge its weight dry by hefting. Then, water the plant thoroughly, until water runs through the drain holes. Heft it again. When your pot feels as nearly as light as it did dry, its time to water again.
Overfeed their plants. As MrSoul says, beginners rarely under do anything. When all else fails, follow the directions on the fertilizer bottle. [Editor’s note: dont follow GH’s instructions! Use @ 1/4 their recommended strength, or follow recipes in the FAQ]
Overanalyze their grow. A first grow is like a first born child: you pay attention to every little thing that happens. Further, you worry at the first sign something may be wrong. Pay attention to what happens in your grow, but do not try and find a remedy for every yellow leaf. Frequently, the remedy of flushing your medium causes more problems than it solves. Be responsive when things go wrong, but be conservative in your remedies.
Overspend on grow supplies. New growers frequently commit themselves to unrealistic and expensive first grows. It is much more efficient to learn to grow and then invest in high end equipment rather than the other way around. Most experienced growers don’t have room for all of the grow paraphernalia they aren’t using. As you will see throughout this FAQ: K-I-S-S.
Overpost. Try the search engine first. Chances are good that any question you can think of has been asked and answered before.
Talk about their grow. Don’t tell anybody that does not have to know. How can you expect anybody else to keep a secret that you cannot.

How would I be able to start growing. In my closet?
Pretty easy, there are a number of “stealth” growing teks out there.
You can also buy some “stealth growing kits”, but it’s risky business, I recommend making your own. You get the greatest amount of knowledge.
I’d check out some grow journals to get the idea of different methods, so you can adapt a proper grow to your environment.
Fair warning: Cleaning your piece with alcohol and salt MAY ruin the “painting” design on it. If the paint job wasn’t sealed within a layer of glass, it will erode over time. Nothing radical, but spots of paint will chip off every time you clean it. Your best bet then is warm water and very gentle cleaning methods. But really, no piece will stay perfect forever.
On to the tutorial:
My smoking utensil is filthy with resin!
That’s what happens from frequent use. With this guide you’ll be able to clean all that gunk out. You’ll either have the option of saving the resin for smoking later – or a thorough cleaning that’ll wipe it all out.
yo I heard you smoke resin, it’s black hash right?
No, but you’re not far off. Resin is tar and THC, literally the residue of your smoking. That’s why roaches from joints/blunts are so fire, they’re saturated with resin.
So how do I get that shit out to smoke it!
You can scrape it off, but that’s really time consuming and impossible for some crazier shaped bongs/pipes. Your best bet is boiling water. It’ll be hard to do this with small pipes, it’s really best for bongs/steamrollers/anything-wide-mouthed. The faster you do this, the better. Resin drys quickly.
Prepare a container(heat-safe) that you’ll keep your resin in. Take some boiling water and pour it inside your piece. Remember, it’s boiling water, so use some precaution. Your piece will get hot as well(duh). Shake the water around inside, trying to get all the black areas. Once done, pour it out into your container. The viscous combination will be your resin and water. Let the water evaporate to reveal your black gold.
Now this method isn’t very feasible or safe, nor is resin really that great for smoking. It’s residue. Meaning the shit you shouldn’t have consumed, like plant material, ash, etc. But if you’re a conversationalist, or just desperate for a smoke, go for it.
I just want that black shit out of there, what do I do?
Ah, now this is the easy one. Whenever you’re cleaning your stoner supplies, you never forget your A.S.S.S.
What’s ASSS?: Alcohol, Salt, Sit, and Shake.
For this process you’ll need rubbing alcohol(not vodka!) and salt. The alcohol will dissolve the resin, while the salt acts as an abrasive.
If you’ve got a bong/anything-big-and-closed!:
Grab your dirty piece and pour some alcohol inside, be liberal. Add some salt, about 1/8 of a cup for every cup of alcohol. Measurements are for pussies though, you’ll see soon. After you’ve poured in the goods, give it a good shake. Let the mixture soak in for 10-20mins.
See “Cleaning my ASS” for the rest.
If you’ve got a pipe/bowl/anything-small!:
Prepare a container that your piece will fit into. Your pipe/bowl/etc will have to be submerged, so make sure the container has depth. Place your pieces inside the container and add alcohol + salt. About a 1/8 cup salt for every cup of alcohol, but measurements are for pussies. Give it a stir with your finger to spread the salt around. And then shake your pieces a bit – try to get the liquid all up in it.
See “Cleaning my ASS” for the rest.
Cleaning my ASS:
Wait for 10-20 mins, maybe roll a joint/blunt, letting the pieces soak. When you return you’ll notice the once clear liquid has turned black. That’s good. Now’s the time to do some extra cleaning if you’re anal. Grab a soft-wire brush, wooden skewer, basically anything that’ll get inside your piece and scrape out the leftover resin. Or if you’d like, just give it another shake and let it soak.
For a crystal clear piece? Clean it out manually(with brush/skewer/etc), rinse it with warm water, and let it sit with the alcohol+salt mixture again. Repeat until you’re satisfied.
Once your satisfied with your cleaned paraphernalia, give it a liberal rinse under warm water. Make sure you get all the alcohol and salt out, you don’t want to smoke that shit – you’ll regret it.
My piece looks and smokes like it’s brand new now!
Ah, the magic of A.S.S.S. Tell your friends <3

This won’t be a step-by-step really, more of a guideline with the important details, on how to take your weed, twigs, anything-with-THC on it — and turn it into cannabis butter. The cannabutter in turn, can be used to make anything that requires butter or would taste good with butter. Bake some brownies, slap some on your pancakes, anything. So let’s get started:
Wtf, how does weed get inside my butter?
THC is soluble in fat, and butter/margarine is full of it. The fat in the butter actually breaks the THC down into a digestible form. If you were to just eat your plant material, you wouldn’t get high.
THC is soluble in oil at ROOM TEMPERATURE. Heating just speeds up the process. So if you’re not a fan of butter and/or don’t have a crockpot, you can just throw your stash in oil~
Ok, so what butter do I use?
Anything. Try to get butter with the highest fat content.
How much butter and cannabis do I use?
However much you need. Think about saturation, the more butter you use vs plant material, the less potent the butter will be. For example, can drop a quarter of cannabis in a half quart of butter. You’ll get a great product. Or you can use a dime bag of weed and a half quart of butter, and you’ll get buzzed if you’re lucky.
So how do I do it bro?!
The goal of saturating the butter with THC is to “cook” it at the lowest temperature possible. SLOW AND LOW IS THE TEMPO. If your butter is boiling, you’re losing THC. Heating just speeds up the process(with risk!), so it’s not really required. NEVER SAUTEE/COOK YOUR BUTTER in a frying pan. If it’s frying, IT’S DYING. Just say no!
Easiest method is to use a crockpot. Crank it to LOW and put your butter inside. Let the butter melt, then add the plant material. Make sure it’s submerged, anything floating above won’t be absored(duh). Let it sit on LOW for 12 HOURS. Yes, TWELVE HOURS. You want all the THC so be absorbed, and at such a low temperature it’s going to take some time. Trust me, it’s worth the wait.
You can mimic the procedure with a pot on your stove, but I wouldn’t fall asleep with your stove on!
After the allotted time, strain the plant material from the butter. Make sure to squeeze out any liquid from the cannabis. Put the butter in a container and let it sit in the fridge until solidified. You can throw away the leftover cannabis, or let it dry and smoke that bitch. It won’t be as potent, but why waste anything?
How do I know it’s fire shit?
Easy. The more potent the butter, the greener it’ll be. Yes, your once yellow butter will actually turn GREEN. If it’s a consistent green throughout, you’ve done an amazing job. If there are different shades of green, like a gradient(light to dark), it’s still potent – but not completely saturated(the dark green on the bottom is actually sediment from the plant material).
How does it look once it’s all done?
And that’s it! You’ve got yourself a batch of butter that’ll knock your stoner socks off.
