I wanna get hemp leaves for making tea!

Lately I've been trying to drink different herbs in my tea for the health benefits. I already had quite a few in my cabinet, but I've been kinda running low since a few illnesses have stricken the area lately.

Doing some research on different herbs and cannabinoids and particularly CBD lately has made me want to get some actual hemp leaves to make tea with. Maybe mixed with a strong loose leaf tea like Gunpowder tea. Oh...that sounds heavenly...

But, hemp production in America is still so limited, and we got cops arresting people for shipping the stuff, despite it being legal.

There's also these sudden craze with people discovering the health benefits of CBD where it's gotten insanely expensive. Part of that is supply and demand, and part of it is companies exploiting a country of people with all sorts of ailments that don't wanna become another of the opiate filled masses. Personally, other than the price and low dosage of SOME products, I think it's a great alternative with similar pain relief to opiods without the brain fuzz.

Of course, cannabinoids aren't water soluble, so you have to use some oil of some type to extract the CBD a bit first when making tea.

I wonder if alcohol would work...it works in various extracts... A bit of hemp tea with a nip of vodka don't sound too bad if you ask me. Maybe just use some high proof grain alcohol to soak the tea for a few weeks, then pour that in some normal tea. Now that sounds like a right good cuppa.

Maybe since it's legal to grow now throughout the states, if they get permission from our great and powerful overlords, I can get some dried leaves to make some tea, or better yet, a tincture with high proof grain alcohol or vodka. Mmmm...
