I've had tea made from cannabis teabags they sell at the dispensaries, and it definitely works, after just boiling water and then steeping the bag in it for about twenty minutes. Besides about a gram of actual cannabis, the bags contain regular tea. There also appears to be a sweetener of some kind, maybe dried honey like they put in breakfast cereal.
Is it the regular tea and the honey that help you absorb the THC?
