Grind your botanicals just before use. Make a potent water infusion from the botanicals, then slowly evaporate most of the liquid off (a crock pot works great). Add honey and brandy. The ratio of water to honey is 1:1, so if you have 1 cup of water, then add 1 cup of honey but only add 1-3 shots of brandy per cup of herbal infusion. Finish it off by adding your brandy and a bit of maple/birch syrup. You can soak some herbs in your honey for a few weeks before making the syrup to make it even stronger! ***"Smokes of Sleep" ~ An Organic Herbal Smoke for Sleep- Cannabis sativa ~ "Ganja" - Top quality hashish and buds Papaver somniferum ~ "Opium Poppy"- High quality, processed opium resin Commiphora myrrha ~ "Myrrh" - Large chunks, wash, then futher clean by soaking in wine for 24 hours then washing again, then drying) Lactuca virosa ~ "Opium Lettuce" - Wildcraft, make sure you have the correct species, exclusively collect the latex Mitragyna speciosa ~ "Kratom" - Potent full specturm extract Passiflora incarnata ~ "Passion-flower" - Powerful full specturm extract >Chop, grind and throughly mix all ingredients, knead and work the resinous substance until it is fully mixed, then put on top of some herb and smoke out of a water-pipe.

Moses Posted September 29, 2011 Cough drops? Do you mean drops of liquid or lozenges? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted September 29, 2011 Thats american for lozenges I have the strong feeling teotz is not actually familiar with many/most of those herbs. Also interesting how poisons are listed with no mention of what plant part or preparation should be done. Also interesting how some are herbs only obtained by unsustainable wild harvesting and illegal poaching. Sorry teotz, but is there an actual point to this thread?

Moses Posted September 29, 2011 Thats american for lozenges cheers kinda new that but was wondering what teotz was referring to cos the thread has recipes for all but the drops don't go into any prep so wondered if he was talking liquid drops or candys.

Teotzlcoatl Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Also interesting how poisons are listed with no mention of what plant part or preparation should be done. Such as? Elderberry? Yeah use only the berries! Also interesting how some are herbs only obtained by unsustainable wild harvesting and illegal poaching. Which ones? Goldenseal? Slippery Elm? You can ALWAYS grow them yourself or sustainability harvest! kinda new that but was wondering what teotz was referring to cos the thread has recipes for all but the drops don't go into any prep so wondered if he was talking liquid drops or candys CANDY!
