Weed Coffee: How to Make One

Coffee is typically the first thing we look forward to having when we wake up in the morning. It provides an energetic start, providing an explosion of energy. Coffee is the common drink of choice to excite you. However, the bean does not do enough to draw out your creativity and artistic thinking. That is where weed coffee enters – it puts a ‘stoney’ spin without necessarily making you feel exhausted.

For many enthusiasts, the most pleasing way to begin or end a day is to bring two things they adore together – coffee and weed. Studies show that drinking coffee heightens the longing to take weeds. It is the best way to wake and bake.

The Methodical Study of Weed Coffee

Weed coffee has two major components, namely caffeine, and THC. It is a mixture of these chemicals that contribute to the uniqueness of coffee.

Caffeine

Seeing it at the organic level, caffeine found in weed coffee carries out several good things. It enhances the effects of dopamine and serotonin. It hinders the adenosine receptors in the brain so the user will not feet exhausted. It flags the production of adrenaline. It boosts blood flow and it also helps the contraction of the muscles.

All of these effects compose the umbrella perception that coffee offers consumers the energy and make them feel more active. 

THC

Unless you are completely naïve about the composition of cannabis, you should have an idea about the cannabinoid THC. THC is a chemical that is responsible for creating the monstrous high which gives weed its pleasing and displeasing stature.

Once THC gets into the brain – regardless of the manner of your usage – the molecule imitates cannabinoid chemicals that naturally exist in the body. That makes it accessible for the THC to adhere itself to the cannabinoid receptors. 

Cannabinoid receptors are seen in the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum, where they take control of the processes of focus, thinking, coordination, motor movements, memory, and pleasure. The rationale THC influences these areas a lot more compared to other existing active cannabinoids such as CBD, licks into shape.

Considering its particular molecular formation, THC attaches just like a bud in the rug to the neurotransmitters – the areas that deliver communication between the neurons. It imitates anandamide which is an unrefined cannabinoid seen in the body.

Once securely adhered, THC portrays the role of anandamide, exciting the brain cells to produce higher dopamine. This hormone is responsible for the pleasant sensation you feel if buzzing.

Once nicely cultivated in the brain, THC can trigger a variety of sensory reactions, including alertness, euphoria, fragmentary thoughts, calmness, and lightheadedness.

How to Make Weed Coffee?

If you want to try brewing your weed coffee, then you should know that it may take a while to experiment with your product before you will finally achieve the right output. Nonetheless, you should not be scared of failing your first attempts. Just like pizza, even the most disastrous weed coffee can still be good.

To give you a guide, here is a simple recipe on how to make weed coffee.

Ingredients and Materials:

• 3 cups of water
• ½ gram of ganja
• 2 tablespoons of coconut oil or butter
• 4-cup measuring cup or large bowl for straining
• Strainer
• Kettle or pan for boiling
• Coffee maker or pan for final brewing

Procedures:

1. Grind

Mince the weed as accurately as possible. You may tear the buds through a knife if that will please you. However, it would be better to work smarter and not harder, hence, it would be better to rather use a grinder. It works faster, easier, and better. There is no need to make things difficult.

2. Boil

Rush 3 cups of water into the pan and let it boil. Once the water starts to boil, stir in 2 tablespoons of coconut oil or butter.

3. Simmer

Once the coconut oil or butter is entirely melted, lower the heat until you notice the water to simmer. Consider doing a gentle boil. Dredge in the ground weeds and allow the entire thing steam for 40 minutes. Mix the brew a few times to avoid having the plant matter sticking on the side of the pan.

4. Strain

After 40 minutes, drain the bud mix or oil or water with a strainer to eliminate the slivered sinsemilla. You do not have to be anxious about doing this step. It has already provided the ideal stuff, namely the terpenes and cannabinoids, during the entire 40-minute session of simmering.

5. Brew

Now, you are set to make your weed coffee! Put the water you boiled in a pot or coffee maker. Put your chosen coffee grounds and start brewing.

Should you Brew Your Weed Coffee or Buy it Instead?

Whether you will choose to brew your weed coffer or choose to buy a finished product, the selection is entirely up to you. There are pre-made weed coffees that are running out in the market. You can select from THC doses that range from 20 milligrams to 200 milligrams, and even buy some brands with CBD.

Nonetheless, choosing to brew your coffee is very easy. And there is a good chance that you already have all the ingredients available in your cabinet. All you have to do is to exert a minimal effort to come up with a weed coffee that pleases your taste.

What to Expect When Consuming a Weed Coffee?

You will sense the effects of caffeine in your weed coffee almost instantly just like you will with a typical java cup. However, it may take you around 1 hour or so to allow the THC to kick in, depending on some factors such as your weight, tolerance, metabolism, and other flexibilities. 

This should not be so surprising since you are taking THC like how you would in a weed tea or pot brownie: through the stomach. The absorption and digestion time may take a while, however, like any other edibles, you can expect stronger and long-lasting effects compared to what you will get from dabbing or smoking.

Weed coffee tracks a similar norm. That is why it is very essential not to consume it in huge volume and, most of all, to allow it to take effect first and not to continue with another quantity if you think that a lot of time has already passed and nothing has worked – because it will eventually work.

For some users, coffee with weed strengthens the impact of marijuana. That is, if, for instance, you consume coffee to alert the body and the mind and use a mixture that motivates you and makes you happy, it will be you a great company.

This is one thing that science has not yet certified. However, what some researches have derived when it comes to the amalgamation of these two products is that the greater the quantity of coffee we consume, the higher the longing to use weeds and this will lower if the quantity of coffee is lowered.

Is there an immediate risk when drinking weed coffee?

So far, there were no reported cases about the extreme side effects of drinking weed coffee. People may have different responses to caffeine and weed. If you mix these two products, you should make sure that you understand the reaction of your body. If you are perceptive to weed, for instance, mixing it with caffeine may lead to an uncomfortable strong high.

If you think that you are ready to try weed coffee, it will be helpful to follow the tips below to help you inhibit a negative reaction:

• Start low

Begin with low quantities of both. Consider using a lesser amount than you would commonly use of each individually.

• Go slow

Do not pressure your body. Allow your body to have a sufficient amount of time, at least half an hour, to accustom to the mixture before taking more of any of the substances.

• Be careful with the usage

It may seem exaggerated, but it is easy to lose your monitoring of how much weed or caffeine you had, particularly when combining the two.

There are serious effects that can happen when taking high doses of caffeine. One can develop a rapid heart rate or high blood pressure. Hence, make sure to hear your body and mind. If you notice weird symptoms after combining the two, consult a healthcare provider.

Conclusion

So, you now understand the effects of weed coffee and how to make it. On the other hand, what should be considered when getting ready with the recipe are the effects of bringing these two products together.

Bear in mind that just similar to when you eat it, in this instance, weeds will also consume some time to take effect. Thus, you should be patient and relish the moment, and eventually, its effect can be felt. Also, bear in mind that each system is unique and its effect can vary. This is something you should always remember, particularly with the quantity of cannabis you consume.
