Smoke Green tea?

Raptor87's Photo Raptor87 14 Jan 2013

I found this article and wonder if anyone has tried it? I don't smoke myself so I don't dare to try. Although if the effect is good then it could be worth it.

What's your experience?

Ive tried in a bong. Nothing really happened. It smells not good, like a burned leaf mass from your backyard.

Tried with a bong, took loads of hits. Felt pretty great after but could not tell too well if placebo or not because the effect was mild. This was back when I used to smoke other herbs. I am generally very well in tune with my body and I regularly employ the placebo effect during meditation to induce euphoria anyway so I do not generally fool myself with placebos. The placebo effect is the tip of an iceberg named conscious manifestation. Western science has a lot to learn about placebo.

It is presently understood by the majority as a "fake" effect but it's quite the damn opposite and future generations will assuredly laugh at such ignorance in the same fashion we laugh at ideas of flat Earth or the idea that brain cells cannot be created.


Smoking green tea is probably best tried with an adjustable temp vaporizer at sub-combustion temperatures. Do some fractional distillation and see what comes out. I don't know if any of the actives actually survive combustion but who's to say.

It would be much better tested using some kind of full-spectrum extraction method then smoking the resultant product. Unfortunately true full spectrum extracts for herbs are ridiculously difficult to attain as there is always this or that solvent that dissolves this or that active substance but also happens to destroy this or that other substance.

I wouldn't recommend smoking anything. Vaporization might be interesting though.

If you received any effects from smoking green tea they would most likely be a combination of placebo and temporary oxygen starvation.

That being said, you can smoke black tea and it is even more potent than MJ - but don't tell the feds ;)

There's a folkmyth here in Holland that smoking tea will put holes in your lungs. I guess: what won't?
