If you want to stop wasting your weed, drink the leaf instead of putting it in a filter. The boiling water should decarb it.

or just buy bubble bags....

with my last harvest, me and my buddy threw some stems(a handful) in my coffee maker. we let it run twice. the water that comes out is a nasty green and doesnt taste too great. we each had a few sips and couldnt drink anymore, but soon realized we were fucked up. it actually surprised me a lot that it did anything, but it did. it was just plain water, so idk why we got high lol

Made some tea a bit back just as tea tea not medicated tea, didn't taste too bad, and gave a slightly tingly mouth

my friend took this big clear ziplock bag of stems, boiled them for 30min. it gave a body buzz and the tea tasted really sweet.

i'm just beginning to experiment with other ways of medicating than smoking but from what i'm getting as i read is that while THC is not water soluble alot of the other 60 or so cannabinoids that help with pain, anxiety and high blood pressure are... i just got a batch of scrap and trim with lots of stems and hating to waste anything was thinking about tea with the stems... one thought i had was to use food grade glycerin in the water to bind the thc... it's tasteless , cholestoral free and has no effect on blood sugar... things a prediabetic high cardiac risk pt has to think about... my first batch is cooling in the fridge... i broke up the stems and ground them in the coffee grinder, put them in a big pile in middle of a coffee filter and used a lil cotton thread to sew a secon filter on top making a "giant tea bag" ... i filled the crock pot 3/4 full and put in a 1/4 cup of glycerin and let it come to a boil on the high setting... tossed in my tea bag and let it boil for 20 mins... turned the heat to low and let it simmer 6 hours... removed the tea bag, tasted, gagged, added honey and vanilla... i'm hoping it's better cold over ice...i think i let it simmer too long tho as it tastes horrible warm even with a ton of honey and dash of vanilla in it that i thought would take off some of the bitterness... i'm not sure how much glycerin really to use or how long to let it simmer for in order to get a good extraction and decent taste... but i figure it will be fun to experiment and water and stem you'd otherwise throw away might as well.. glygerin in that amount isnt that expensive to be experiment preventive
