Cannabis tea (also known as weed tea or pot tea) is an infusion of cannabis—usually the leaves of the plant- in hot water. Cannabis tea is a tisane, rather than a true tea. Without proper decarboxylation and preparation of the glandular material, this method of ingesting cannabis yields low psychoactive effects, as tetrahydrocannabinol, the primary psychoactive agent in cannabis, is not a water-soluble compound. Dissolving the active ingredient THC in lipids (for example vegetable oil or butter) or alcohol (as in Green Dragon) is more effective for psychoactive purposes. While water-based tea is generally not very efficient, using milk, which contains fat, proves to be more effective. This technique has been used for thousands of years in India, and is referred to as bhang, which is tea mixed with cannabis. Because of its smokeless form of ingestion, it is preferred by some as a method of using the plant for medicinal purposes.
Colorado has defined under House Bill-1284 that a Medical Marijuana Infused Product to include tea, as its primary consumption is used for other health benefits other than THC. Medical Marijuana Infused Products are therefore those products that are used for anything other than for smoking. At the August 27th meeting Matt Cook, Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Revenue was quoted as saying, "Medical-Marijuana Infused Products are any product, including but not limited to Teas, Tinctures, Hashish, Extracts, Balms, and Lotions that are ingested in any manner other than by smoking ..............................and health effects .>>>The main reason why patients take cannabis is for its ability to reduce chronic pain.[citation needed] For those suffering from conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis or AIDS, cannabis relieves pain and the mental anxiety that comes with constant body pain. For patients dealing with chronic pain and end-of-life care, cannabis also can reduce anxiety and increase feelings of well-being. Cannabis also reduces nausea, a debilitating side-effect of the drugs, including chemotherapy, used to treat life-threatening diseases. Stimulating appetite is another related effect of cannabis that can prevent weigh-loss of patients undergoing taxing chemotherapy sessions or suffering from AIDS.

You're talking about the Cheech and Chong movie 'Up In Smoke'...
They unwittingly drive across the border from Tijauana Mexico into the U.S. in a van made entirely of pot...
I believe that's also the movie where they are smoking a foot-long joint in a car and it's so smokey in the car, they can't see where they're driving.....

I hate to admit it but I have actually never seen any of the Cheech and Chong films. I am a big fan of stoner comedy films but still have not seen those. I hear they are still some of the best around.
