Cannabis Tea

A tea made from cannabis leaves and roots is a traditional household drink in Jamaica, brewed by "Roots Daughters" for their families. While doing research for a book on herbal medicines, the uses and benefits of the tea were documented by Melanie Dreher, RN and presented to our Third Clinical Conference on Cannabis Therapeutics held in Charlottesville, VA in May of 2004.
