Herb smoke recipe: Mix dried catnip, linden & skullcap. Grind to a fluff, not powder. Leave bowl uncovered overnight so herbs go stale, smolder, not flame. Smoke in a wood pipe. Helps with pain, anxiety, panic, PTSD & extremes of emotion. Buccal administration directly into the bloodstream is fast

Contrary to conventional thought, smoking herbs can be beneficial. A nearly lost method of administering herbs by way of smoke, it reduces many plant constituents into a vapour, delivering those constituents directly into the blood stream. Elder herbalists in traditional cultures often smoke herbs 💚

That this was posted two weeks after the election, and had been a central part of Biden’s June 2024 announcement about projects to center slavery and Black history, is worth noting. These projects will quietly and quickly disappear. But if you have a new bio about Patrick Henry? Step up!
NEH just canceled funding for 160th Juneteenth projects. This isn’t budgetary—it’s bowing to political pressure to silence hard truths. Erasing emancipation’s story isn’t neutrality; it’s complicity. #Publichistory is under attack.
