“I ordered a bunch of herbs from here which arrived yesterday, and in the night/morning I decided to try out the LL-flowers.
Even though it seems people don't like the smoke, I didn't really feel like drinking tea at the time, so I mixed up the flowers with a little Damiana (wich seems to work at a non-documented way on me, being an autist and all) and rolled it up.

Now I think it was a little stupid of me to mix with Damiana, since I really couldn't figure out wich herb did what.
Anyway, my anxiety problems (who before I smoked literally ached in my chest) were all gone within ten minutes, and I felt very at ease with everything.

I really liked this. Thanks!”

“tried it this afternoon, first made a tea out of it, drank about half a litre, no effect at all except a little dizziness; so then smoked a joint, half tobacco, half wild dagga. this was great! I got a mj high, this stuff really works! I was with a friend and we laughed, played music and even discovered some new notes in our voices while singing :)”

“hi guys,
like promesed, I checked the tea. AWESOME, IT WORKS :) close to space-cake sensation, but slightly clearer mind, and less stoned feeling. but also warm and relaxed feeling. so PLEASE DO NOT WASTE IT BY SMOKING IT.

for the tea i did it this way:
-I emptied a normal teabag and but 3 theespoons wild dagga in it (for one liter boiling water)
-let it stand for several hours (till water was completely cooled down) -I took the teabag out, and put it in like 2 cl of high degree of alcohol (vodka 55°),again let it stand for a while.
-now get the tea bag out of the alcohol (throw it away) and poor the alcohol in the tea. (you now have like 1% alcohol in your tea, you wont even taste it, but the alcohol took some extra alkaloïds out, that the water did not).
-warm it up, add a little of sugar, and there you go!
(I think the alcohol part is not necesary, but whatever)

the effects come up rather quickly but don't last that long. max 2 hours, depending of how much you drunk.
have fun ;)”
