How to Prepare Cannabis roots for medicine - Long term storage
Hello my loverly little ents and other types of tree people
Now there is a long history of cannabis being used as a medicine for over 5000 years and for the vast majority of the plants history those forms have appear with considerably low THC content and the vast majority of the plant still had its use and place in ancient life
So with that in mind, I just wanted to take a moment to cover the constantly overlook part of our favorite plant the cannabis roots; Now due to the fact that there is actually zero % content of THC in this part of the plant is actually offers some confidence with its proper preparation and use that cannabis roots SHOLDN'T appear on a drugs test (we take no responsibility for failed tests)
This thread is going to talk about how to prepare your roots for later use, in this thread cannabis-roots-as-ancient-medicine-2834 you can find more information on uses and history of cannabis roots as medicine.
Lets begin at the normal end point of a cannabis grow; Harvest.
You have just harvested your loverly crop above ground but thoughts turn to dealing with the mass of by product (the root ball). Alot will be reluctant to attempt this but i encourage you to break up this mass of loverly eco system, release the bounty within and put that life blood (the medium) back to work!
Rant out the way and roots successfully removed from the medium, youll want to give them a good thorough cleaning at this point (yes even you hydro guys! salts suck!). Hopefully youll have a better harvest than me but atleast its a starting point to show you from....
this is what ill be working with
now we have cleaned our roots we simply want to remove them from the main stalk and stick them in a nice relatively warm place preferably dark for the next 48hr (and quite possibly longer if your roots are nice and thick [unlike mine lol])
this is where im going to leave you. Like every great read ill leave you on a cliff hanger and we will pick this up in a few days when we are nice and dry.... your welcome to follow along at home :D
thanks for joining us on todays Roots, bloody roots!!

Re: How to Prepare Cannabis roots for medicine - Long term storage
The older I get the longer the day.
Any progress?
I've got a bunch of roots I've been saving to do something with. Don't know how to proceed.

The other day when I was high I solved one of the world's greatest problems.
Unfortunately five minutes later I forgot what I was doing.

It's all good. I'll just wash the roots and let them dry. They would have gone into the burner anyhow. I'll be following. Thanks!

Re: How to Prepare Cannabis roots for medicine - Long term storage
What about using a coffee grinder?
I use one to grind all my leaves and then rinse the leaves with alcohol. Works really good.
