Wanna hear a funny story? When I was about 12-13 years old my cousins and I were left home alone. Picture it, 3 girls ranging from 9-14. This was the 90's and we felt like little curious rebels. So we did what most kids do I guess. We opened a beer and tried it. Then I got the bright idea to try to smoke tea because, hey how different can it possible be than weed?
I can't say this story now without the biggest cheesiest smile ever because wow full circle! So I decided we were going to cut open one of my aunt's tea bags and roll it. The problem is we didn't have rolling papers. So I scoured my aunt's junk drawer and found bank deposit slips that had the triplicate forms. You know, the thinner ones that are pink or yellow? Ok so I used that to roll a tea joint. And we smoked it. I felt lightheaded and we thought we were experiencing a very quick 5 minute something.
Now I have come full circle, crafting exquisite herbal cigarettes. Experience the purity of all-natural, organic ingredients, ensuring you're aware of every substance you inhale.
We know smoking is a bad habit. Any type of smoke inhalation at all isn't good for you. Our lungs like to stay clear. For countless years, smoking herbs has been a part of numerous traditions and medicinal cultures.
Before beginning any new regimen, it is important to consult with your doctor or chosen healthcare provider.
Now that those preliminary matters are settled, let us delve into the realm of plants and flowers at your disposal. I'm not referring to the notorious Mary Jane, as that is a well-known entity. However, allow me to introduce a myriad of other botanical wonders, each accompanied by their unique uses and benefits.
These are just some of the ones to use though I didn't even mention Lemon Balm and I also add that as well. There are a ton of herbs you can use so make sure your do your research to see what may work for you.
