“I was suprised over the potency in this herb.
After smoking some o.k. quality hash, I drank a 3 teaspoon tea, and actually got twice as high, so this herb is my new cannabis-intencifyer:P (unless I get hold of some high grade cannabis, then I won't be able to walk from the couch to the waterboiler anyway ;)

Next time I m on my cannabis break (to lower the thc and cbd levels in my body, and get to himalaya on the first puff again;) this herb will certainly come in handy...

“I smoked it and really enjoyed it. The effects were more enhancing than i expected. Definitely relaxing. would definitely recommend to those wishing to try new herbs. It's also a alternative to marijuana for those trying to quit.”

“Expected it to be relaxing but I didn`t notice anything. Maybe I didn`t ude enough. The tea tastes like just herbs, it`s OK. But after it cooled down a bit, the taste gets bad. Drink it hot. ”
