if there leaves in flower that you can see tri on them than yeah you dont have to dry it to make some tea .....i dont know if fan leaves will be medical but they might make some tea ...
good question, you would have to think at some point in history, before man knew how to separate females and dry/cure/smoke it, they used the plant in some other way
I know a lady that makes great tea's, But she does use trim though..... So you would need trich's like billy said to really get an effect.... Water is not the best conductor of the medicinal properties of MJ, but it does work... I have had a glass of tea and was not stressed any longer.....
