10 Unique Uses for Orange Peel

you can also take the peels and a few cubes of ice and put them in your sink disposal and turn it on. it makes it smell better and cleans/sharpens the blades.

It's a great way to increase the mosture in a bag of weed...%-)

Mellisa: thanks for your comment. I have wondered about keeping the sink disposal from smelling.

Did you really mean to include the #2 comment? Or did you just not read it?

Use them in your fireplace for a nice citrus aroma throughout your home. Also a campfire to keep bugs away.

This is for number four Pat, I think you just need to find some weed and smoke it. Thats what you need to do.

Weed is sold by weight. Adding moisture to the bag artificially increases the weight and is unethical. Unless it is for your own personal use and you enjoy the fruity flavor and aroma.

I agree, #4 loosen up a bit, I found that tip very helpful.

So many people smoke marajuana, it's nothing shameful. The "stoner" stereotype is just a socially constructed facade. #2 is a perfectly legitimate use. cheers!

Also, freshly grated orange zest in yogurt, cool whip, tea, pancake batter, and about a hundred other recipes. It gives bold flavor and smells y-u-m-m-y while cooking.

I started to buy an orange------69 cents each!!!!!!!! At that price you should use it all !!!!!!!!!!

Cut orange peel into strips and add it to potpourri to refreshen the scent and add some pretty color and texture. After you add the citrus peel, don't close the potpourri mix in a plastic bag or it will mold. It needs to air dry.

Is there anything special you have to do to dry orange peels, or do you just simply let them air dry? thanks

I live in the 2nd most (or is that 3rd behind Florida and CA?) productive state (Arizona) for oranges in the USA, and will definately use some of these suggestions for orange peel use. Thanks for the tip! I don't smoke pot, but if I did...I would use the suggestion for that too! I am sure you wouldn't believe how many people (executives of major corporations, professors, doctors, your husband, wife, son, or daughter) actually do smoke pot on a regular basis. If you didn't like the comment #2 left, why didn't you just ignore it, or even just chaulk it up to adolescent leaving the comment? I wonder why you felt compelled to leave a message asking the board monitor if they had really intended to let that message be posted? Don't you pick and choose your battles? That was just silly of you to actually take the time to say that to #2.

I definitely plan on trying some of these ideas, and actually I have always used a lemon peel in a bag of pot, nice to know orange peels work just as well. And yes, MANY people smoke pot, I think of it in the same respects as alcohol, as long as you are not driving or being reckelss while using it there is no harm.. Also, if your weed is too moist put a small piece of paper in the bag, and as someone mentioned that for selling purposes the weed would be heavier, i have only known people to do it with their own weed.

we have lots of pot here and orange peel does work

My pot hasn't dried out enough to need it, but i will use it when it does. And by the way, tons of people from every walk of life dosmoke weed. I am a mother of 4 very activ in my community, but when the kids are asleep for the night, a nice fat joint is just what the doctor ordered.

I love that this post went to pot. That was the first thing I thought of when I read this. I usually used a small piece of carrot but it can make your weed mold.

Actually, fruit and veggie peels reduce the potency of weed when left in the bag for extended periods of time. If it's dried out just take the largest buds from the bag, run some fresh tap water over them, shake it off and replace in the bag, the next morning the moisture will have spread through the entire contents and will have turned dried out brittle weed to a nice gummie texture ready to roll up and burn.

I love your comments. FUNNY.....Nice one Leean.

If you are smoking pot that is dry & leaves a bad taste it may be the old horse dung pot. Good weed is dried to perection & if kept in a sealed jar will last for years whereas citrus peels ,etc will eventually cause mold. Leaves the stuff like smoking carpeting.

I agree with Ohreally, I buy in quantity and have yet to have dry issues, my current stash I have had for a few months, I keep the majority double bagged in freezer ziplocs, they hold in the moisture better, and I keep a small,(quarter bag) amount out for daily rolling and refill as needed, it is still sappy and sticky! But no amount of orange peels will save bad weed, so first off just buy good stuff, you get what you pay for.

You can eat the peel. Healthy!

Roll on weed smokers! Try it you might like it and the whole world will live as one...

Squeeze a orange peel rind at a dog and it will repel the animal

Hmm i never knew i could use an orange peel i usually use a small piece of lettuce that works too for a while until it crumbles.

yeahh so smoking is stupid.
loving the orange peel ideas though,.

Love this web site...this is my first visit. Keep up the great suggestions. I never knew that one little peel had so many uses!

This started out about uses for oranges but ended up funnier then ever. You people just keep enjoying life.

you guys are hillarious! little did i ever know what fun it would be to read these posts. now let's all lobby for legalization, cuz it's real hard to get it in nashville. help!!

never tried smokin carpet

if you take a few slivers and deposit in your girls anus, it makes 69ing very fresh and fruity

Weed is illegal in case you haven't noticed. Get a job, you hippies!

You can also make orange peel candy to eat or use in hot tea or add to poached salmon: delicious!

There was a study that said orange peels can cure cancer. Just rub it on!

u guys r crazy i would never do pot but when i read all those post it was interestiong though but really pot is bad for u

Fly High Again

really can orande peel cure cancer?really

Hey # 37, stop picking on pot smokers and go learn how to spell.

orande?i meant orange

shut up

Dave's not here, man!

ISA - Stick with the ideas in the article. The rest of these folks are acting stupid.

PS - Stay off the weed - it'll rot your brain

I need a connection. Anyone live in the area?

Oops! Debate.....now I look like the dumbass.

Blonde - Don't sweat it. You post still made more sense than 99% of the others

HEY THE LAST TIME I SMOKED WEED WAS A LONG TIME AGO BUT ANYWAY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DRINKING BOOZE AND WEED IS THAT BOOZE YOU ARE REALLY MESSED UP YOU CANNOT SEE TO DRIVE OR MUCH LESS WALK, AND WEED YOU ARE SO PARANOID YOU DO DRIVE VERY GOOD AND YOU CAN WALK WITHOUT FALLING OR TRIPING UP AND ALSO IF IT CAUSES CANCER WHY OH WHY DO THEY USE IT FOR SOME CANCER PATIENTS

I needed a good laugh tonight. Thank you all for the entertainment. I will try most of the uses suggested, but will read this again when I need a good laugh. Thank you ;-)

69 cents a pound. Once the fruit growers and food producers find out all these benefits from an orange, just watch the prices go up like a rocket.

i'm 59 yrs old and I smoke pot and will continue until I'm dead...don't do the drinking thing..hard oin the liver

It was great reading the comments. Haven't smoked any weed in about 20 yrs. But I good go for a big fat joint right now. Thansk for making my night.

It is used to kill the pain when someone is already dying. Why make them suffer anymore. It is a good painkiller, and if it works, why not use it?

#54 You must have a strange sense of humor, this is not funny it is pretty stupid. #56 oranges are already high priced if they go much higher no one will be able to afford them. The mother of four pot smoker,you should really be ashamed of your self. You say you buy in quantity,if you get caught you are going to jail and your kids are going to foster care or worse. Won't that be funny.

Did you notice how MOST of the people who don't smoke marijuana can't spell or use proper grammar and punctuation, and those that are for it, do know how to use the English language? LOL

My TV is broke nothing but a bright colored horizonal line audio fine though--These comments are worth emailing for good entertainment. it was for me. Keep On Trucking!!

OK, for all you eco-freaks out there: In addition to the weed, it keeps the dreaded PIPE TOBACCO nice & moist in the pouch !!

Orange peels can also be used for chicken pox. If you cook a few orange rinds from organic oranges in a pot of water, cool the rinds and apply to the pox. They will help the itch and allow it to heal faster. You can also drink a few teaspoons of the cooled liquid to help as well.

I use orange peels to keep my maryjane nice and moist also give it a nice orange scent. Careful not to leave it in too long otherwise it will ruin your stuff...

for number 36. You really may want to splurge and perhaps spend some of your hard-earned cash on some english classes because being pot free has definitely done nothing for your spelling ability.

my comment no.60 was intended for number 37 not 36. my apologies number 36 pot must have compromised my vision.

Was this about orange peels or weed?

I was going to comment but I am too stoned to remember what I was going to say.......Oh yeah, #37, one doesn't "do" pot, one smokes it. You have got to be the squarest person ever.

Now now fiftyhz, we can also vaporize it and eat it! To those who call us "hippies" and say we should be ashamed of our selves, I mean come on. I own and run my own successful business, it is VERY stressful, but I don't pop pills or drink, I enjoy perfectly natural organic herbal refreshment. This plant was put on this earth for all it's wonderful attributes, and I am not going to buy into it being "wrong" because our U.S. government decided it should be prohibited. Our ancestors recognized it for what it was good for and used it for ALL the purposes it could be used for. American Indians didn't have any tobacco plantations to fill their peace pipes, now did they? Other countries have legalized it, recoginzing the excellent properties that it has. So, don't tell me it is wrong because a bunch of oh so honest politicians said it was. And just let me know if my pot dulled brain has used words too big for you to understand, I'd be happy to dumb it up for you. BY THE WAY, ANOTHER GREAT USE FOR ORANGE PEELS: Put them in(dried) with granulated sugar to flavor it,and sprinkle on top of sugar cookies before you bake them, very tasty and great for the munchies

Great tips - and environmentally friendly!
One word of caution for those who plan on using the peel in an oil, marmalade, or other cooking. The food dye citrus red #2, used to dye the skin of oranges, has been shown to cause cancer in animals. This food dye is used to make the greenish appearance of Florida oranges resemble the deep orange of California oranges. So, if you choose Florida oranges, and purpose is consumption, go organic.

Also, be sure to wash all oranges BEFORE peeling them to remove any pesticides, etc. You don't want that in your orange, bath, tea, OR weed.

why would you want to make cannabis wetter, surely it wouldn't smoke as well?

Not a weed smoker here, but my son was on cannabis capsules for his pain before he died. It worked wonders for him. If they would legalize the stuff and let the government control and sell it, the quality would go up and the price would come down. Plus the benefits of having your tax dollars go down because it would bring in giant amounts of money for the government.. Everyone is so concerned with controlling what everyone else is doing. Most need to get their own lives together rather than judge their neighbors.

After reading this string of postings I thought I would post a couple links to Candied Orange Peel recipes. I love oranges and always feel like throwing the peels away is wasteful...thanks for all the great ideas on ways to use them. I can't wait to try them. Enjoy these links!

Kat I agree totally, if the government would control the weed similar to the way other countries do, and stopped spending billions a year on anti-weed campains, we could seriously bring down the national debt and help with the jails overcrowding by cutting down on drug related incarcerations. Many of them are in there on weed related offences.

I came to this site for ideas on how best to peel an orange and gained an education about weed. What a riot. This world needs a good laugh.

lol, #2, that would work if i actually HAD weed...

Have acne? The skin of an orange grated mixed with water to a paste. Is a awesome mask for your face. leave on for 15-20 min.
TIP- mix a little honey in it and it will help stick better on your face. The honey will help moisturize your skin as well

Very funny people I must come back to this post later this year to see what else its good for, You never know it may even give you super powers (orange man to the rescue !!!)fabulace keep it up.

i actually came to this forum by googleing a way to keep my pot from drying out #70 the internet is a great place. Well I'm off to buy some orange juice and orange cupcakes and cheetos and oranges... so I can keep my pot from drying out. happy new year.

Orange peel tips and enlightened stoners - what better way to warm up from the inside out on a cold afternoon? I'm now going to fill up my boiling pot and turn on my vaporizer in honor of you folks.

anyone got some more weed tips

my weed got mold on it because i put it with orange peels, now im scared to smoke it. pretty bummed about that. but you can keep your pot moist by slowly breathing out into the container you keep it in, then closing it tight. the water vapor from your beathe keeps it moist.

You are all idiots. Gee, so many people are idiots, maybe the rest of us who actually have nuts and brains should just sink to your level. Grow up.

I need make tips to make my weed smoke better, can anyone help me?

I came by google \"Uses of Orange Peels\"... Enjoyed all your comments and suggestion, but really really enjoyed \"#63 by Leean\" and \"#67 by Kat-N-Hat\" I\'m an American Indian and very healthy

Sorry about the "/" don't know why that happen. VoiceofReason your nick name doesn't go well with your comment

The posts were not only informing, but entertaining too! Well, except for the anti weed folks. I'm not a smoker myself but found it all very funny - lighten up people! We are moving into a recession and no one will be able to buy oranges or weed!
I wonder if grapefruit and lemon peels work for all this stuff too?

I think it's great people are freaking out about a little "marijuana"...dude, if you want to be around it, cool, if not ignore...just like crap on tv you do or do not want to watch! Weeds really not a big deal. Chill Winston.....:)

What an interesting forum. Very very interesting. Let me start off by saying I had that same problem #77 (Tweadle) - To get rid of that mold you take the weed out of the bags and rub between thumb and index finger gently until the mold is gone, then leave out until (not dry or wet but) satisfactory condition ready for smoking. They should now have a minty aroma. And yes I agree, #37 is perhaps the squarest person ever to walk the face of what we humans call the planet Earth. Smoke it proud.
P.S. umm YAY for orange peels ! !

This is a great article with lots of usable tips. I can't wait to try them.

Thanks valli

I use the thick orange peels to make marmalade.

It can make your weed go moldy.

Kinda puts a new twist to "smokin the green"

I grew up on a citrus ranch though and will totally use some of these ideas. Thanks!

WARNING: Peels from conventionally grown oranges should be washed THOROUGHLY to remove pesticides and fungicides before us. Ideally, buy ONLY organic oranges.

Dried orange peels can be found in many asian stores, they add flavor to soups. Also, orange peels may have medicinal uses.

Hey all!
Good thread, even with the non street savvy commentary. I thank you all for the Orange based information as I have no experience in the field myself. I have 26 Yrs. of Marijuana experience (since I was 12 in group homes until currently 38.) and just wanted to address the remoisturizing issue.
#1. Ethicality of Remoisturization:
Water weighs 1 g/cubic cm. To remoisturize 8 Oz (1/2 lb) of marihuana requires approximately 1/2 g of water, dispersed evenly throughout the bag and it should be perfect in about 6hrs. 1g of water per pound is not much weight wise to worry about, and you really can't add much more that that because it will obviously end up too wet to smoke or sell. When purchasing Maryjane it is best to test a stalk to see if it snaps, your stash can never be too dry for storage, and in an emergency putting a bud in the palm of your hand and exhaling through a closed fist will restore the perfect amount of moisture within 1-2 Min.
#2: Ethicality of Decriminalization.
Wow, huge topic! First let's have people rate their own level of experience, just so they themselves know whether their uninformed opinions should be voiced.=]
a) Do you,or Have you ever known someone who uses Marijuana? Y
b) Do you yourself use Marihuana? Y
c) Do you have relevant knowledge of the active chemicals which gives the marijuana it's medicinal value? Y
d) Do you see the harm that it is possible for all drugs to cause when abused? Y
e) Have you ever been incarcerated for Marijuana related offences? Y
It is a real shame that people who end up as responsible proponents of substances which are being supressed by prohibition and criminalization, end up being treated as criminals rather than the knowledgable entrepreneurs that they are.
Back to peeling some oranges.
Peace all =]
P.S. Whenever posting about substances that may or may not be decriminalized always be sure to do so from another public access location so Big Brother won't be able to scan for your IP and acquire your location.

Hey all!
Thanks for removing the extra postings, feel free to remove the apology and this message as well for the sake of page continuity. Looking forward to more orange peel info, especially how they are planning to use it to make plastic=]
Thanks=]

In regards to the comment made by #33 by Joe Friday, Oct 10, 2007:

"Weed is illegal in case you haven't noticed. Get a job, you hippies!"

Perhaps Marijuana is currently a crime in your area, but we live in the world. People live in places where Marihuana is not illegal such as the Netherlands where it has become legalized and government controlled with great success, or in other countries where they may not even have laws regarding Marijuana. Hmm, just imagine how hurt the feelings of someone from there could be, especially if the Marihuana trade happens to be thier government approved trade. Now consider the fact that marijuana is not illegal in the whole rest of the universe as far as we know, and how ignorant of the facts this makes the few people who lobby to keep it as a criminal offence look.
Thanks for your considerations again in this matter!
Mortis. =]

In regards to the comment made by #36 by Isa, Oct 10, 2007:
"u guys r crazy i would never do pot but when i read all those post it was interestiong though but really pot is bad for u"

Is it really harmful to people? I can fully admit that anything people smoke is not good for the lungs, aside from that fact it was recently found in a Canadian University study that Marijuana has no carcinogenic properties or chemicals. So where is your information proving it is "bad for you", or was this just an uninformed opinion?
Thanx again for the consideration. =]
Mortis.

I was very shocked on everything i read here tonight. I was getting pretty good info on orange peels at the beginning then it all changed to pot. It takes all kinds of people to make this world but i would prefer that the pot heads stay out of rooms like these..im sure there are rooms for you all. For this page is suppose to be a page for info on orange peels. I have nothing agains pot heads but they need to make their own rooms. Remember you are not suppose to harm Gods body.Get some help!!!!!

I always find that adding a couple of gratings of orange peel to my heroin and bicarbonateof soda mix as im boiling up the mix, leaves a fresh zinny feeling in my veins as i shoot up.

Hi everyone, just wanted to say that the Netherlands have de-criminalised cannabis not made it legal. I think the original Sativa strain is good, but the skunk seems to lead to a lot of dope-psychosis. I am not against dope, in fact I prefer to smoke than have a drink ( roll another fat one Dave )

As a teenager one of my friends would smoke pot and drink, even popping pills with a beer. We tried to warn him, but at the time he seemed to be o.k. Then one day in his 40's he dropped dead of a brain aneurism. Maybe he would have wanted me to let you know that...
I actually was on here to find out how to make orange oil to get rid of fire ants. I really like the dried peel and kindling idea!

i have always put a small orange peel in my weed stash.... and i have recently found that if you do this and wait about a week or so the weed will get much better. i had some crappy weed and it now is nice and crystalized. long story short - turns a $150 an ounce bag of weed into $300 bag of weed - true story

I never knew if I would connect with my son until I found him and his friends smoking some pot one night.... while I was sneakin a doobie. It was the closest I have ever felt to him and it felt great. He got a cut in his stocking this year from santa - "best present ever mom!" We even had a family smoke together with grandma. haha

I just seen a great photo of a rastafarian smoking a jazz cigarette through an orange! His eyes were so red, Haha!!

Orange peel and weed are both fun to use in a stump poker hand.
