When we have the capacity, we extract the fan leaves and stems for topical application, They really don't produce a high, but more of a charley horse between the ears when smoked or dabbed.

When we don't have extra capacity, we compost them.

I used to make decent brownies with fan leaves ground and used as flour. About 4oz ground leaves per cup of flour replacement in the recipe. They would have been better had I decarbed the leaves first, 250° for 25 minutes, but were acceptable w/o decarbing. Since I have discovered making canna butter/oil I haven't used the fan leaves that way.

Best thing to do with fan leaves is juice them. They have great anti-oxident, ammune boosting properties. This is a medicinal use though. It will not get you high. If you decide to try this go on you tube and watch some videos. You will need a masticating juicer made for that type of leaf. Need to drink it within a day or two or you can make ice cubes and freeze them. Hope that helps.

We used to save the fan leaves and stems to run when we had capacity, but we stopped having time/capacity, so presently compost them.

The yield is low, and gives you a Charley horse between the ears, as opposed to a euphoric high when vaporized, but makes an excellent topical for arthritic pain.

You would have to have a whole trash bag full of fan leaves to get just the littlest bit for maybe some edibles . Throw them in your compost heap, not much medicinal value

you can definitely make edibles with them. I save them in bags ground up until I have the time to do a long drawn out, messy vegetable oil exrraction.

I use about 2.5 cups of vegetable oil and ussually a pound (minimum) of dried decarbed fan leaves (they build up quick when you dont use them up). just add.water to the mix until all the leaves are covered.

ussually extract for about 10-12 hours in a pressure cooker. straining that mich material by hand takes quite a while though.

Compost or trash can is your best bet for fan leaves, they don't really contain enough THC to get you high so not worth the time/effort/money involved in extracting them in my opinion. If they are fresh and disease free you could juice them.
